NFRIT 1st Round: Luigi's Mansion (1) v Harvest Moon 64 (8)
« on: March 21, 2014, 10:18:14 PM »
The nominations have been made, and now it's time for you to decide the most underrated game in the 15 year history of Nintendo World Report! Votes will be open for 3 days, so cast your vote and make your voice heard in the comments.

In the Mansion region, it's #1 seed Luigi's Mansion v #8 seed Harvest Moon 64.

Luigi's Mansion: Poor Luigi. Burdened with the expectations of both home ownership and system justification, his 2001 adventure showed the Gamecube would be the home to some of its era's quirkiest fare. At the same time, it presents a new side to the oft-abused sidekick and a whole host of wacky characters.

vs

Harvest Moon 64: Often considered one of the best in the long running series, the N64 version adds series staples such as dating sim elements to the formula while continuing to maintain the imagination and creativity that would become the hallmarks of the series. Plus, drunk chicks. Who doesn't love that?

Harvest Moon 64 definitely deserved it.  I'd be among those to consider it the best in the series.  The characters were better than any in the series, the bar was definitely the best in the series, and I played more of Harvest Moon 64 than any other game in the series by far (possibly due to the fact that I was in school at the time and had a lot more time for gaming back then).  Like some other series, they've definitely made improvements with newer games, but I don't think they've managed to quite capture the magic that made Harvest Moon 64 so special.

The board just got flooded with topics, ha ha.

For me, the Rune Factory series has surpassed the Harvest Moon series, so I voted Luigi's Mansion.

Harvest Moon 64 probably wouldn't make my own personal top 5 Harvest Moon games, but I played the hell out of it back in the day.

Looks like we move a step closer to such an outcome. Things are getting tense.
