The only one there I haven't played before is Bonk's Revenge. In a twist on my usual practice, I'm going to vote for that one, just to see what all the fuss was about.

Bonk's Revenge is a fun, cute mascot platformer, but it's nothing revolutionary. I honestly don't think there would be much to discuss. It's competent, but it doesn't take too many risks and there's nothing to make it stand out from dozens of other games just like it.

I'm going with ActRaiser. I've never played it, but have always heard good things.

I didn't really care for Bonk's Adventure. Bonk's Revenge is supposed to be better, so I would probably still play it, but I'm not that ecstatic. I don't really find Comix Zone or StarTropics all that much fun. Super Mario RPG is a great game, but just a bit more interested in ActRaiser.

Now I want to vote for Actraiser instead...is there any way to change my vote?

There is if Jonny set it so you can change your vote. Knowing his feelings about these polls, you probably can't.

However, I can reset the poll so everything's back to zero. Would that help?

I have no problem with people changing their votes and usually check that box. This time was mere oversight, and it has been corrected now.

Stratos · « **Reply #31 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:22:32 PM »

Yay! Thanks Jonny.

Go Actraiser!

noname2200 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 21, 2010, 12:46:06 AM »

In light of the Bonk's Revenge hate, I guess I'll change my vote too. Thanks for the heads-up!

gojira · « **Reply #33 on:** January 21, 2010, 05:55:51 PM »

To be fair to Bonk's Revenge, it's supposedly a lot better than the first one (which I disliked). And the most recent post of 1up's Retronauts Blog they talk about how good Bonk's Revenge was. If it won, I would definitely download it.

vudu · « **Reply #34 on:** January 21, 2010, 06:33:40 PM »

I'm not saying Bonk's Revenge is a bad title. I had quite a bit of fun with it. It's a bright, cheerful, 2D platformer. But there's simply nothing worth talking about except maybe the ridiculously difficult bonus stages.

Well, I've read up on all these games now and decided to vote for ActRaiser. I was initially thinking I'd vote for StarTropics as I'd heard about it but ActRaiser just sounds so intriguing. I'm not much interested in Bonk and I'm not in the mood for MarioRPG. ComixZone just sounds too hard for my liking. But ActRaiser sounds trippy and well executed so I hope it wins. I haven't played any of the candidates so whatever is chosen, at least it'll be new to me.

BTW, the opportunity to vote caused me to finally join the NWR Forums instead of just lurking. This is my first post. This will also be my first participation in RetroActive. Looking forward to it. I adore the podcast.

There you have it, people! If you don't vote for ActRaiser you not only hate good games, you also are driving away new people from the forums!

Stratos · « **Reply #37 on:** January 22, 2010, 04:09:13 AM »

Yay Fatty Da Hutt! Yay Actraiser!

Stupid democratic process. Well, now that Bonk's Revenge has virtually no chance of winning, I guess I have no choice but to switch my vote to Super Mario RPG.

greybrick · « **Reply #39 on:** January 23, 2010, 03:34:38 AM »

I voted for Super Mario RPG, on my most recent playthrough I put down the controller when I remembered just how much of an insufferable wretch Mallow was but I have been wanting to get back into it after Mario and Luigi 3.

Halbred · « **Reply #40 on:** January 23, 2010, 05:09:35 AM »

Mallow is kind of a crybaby. The awesomeness that is Geno makes up for it, though.

Someone without a soul created Mallow. Since I don't remember Geno, I am looking forward to replaying the game all the more!

Plus playable Bowser, it was like Godzilla joining up with with his first enemy, Anguirus, to fight Gigan & King Ghidorah, exciting stuff

Bah, I joined the forums specifically to vote for Ogre Battle, and it still wound up in last place. He'll get over it too.

Suffering builds character!

You don't have to do that. You can spit in the eye of The Man and tell it like it is! If people can vote for Ron Paul, you can vote for Bonk's Revenge!

A vote for Bonk is a vote for Ron? Bonk Paul 2012?

Keep the politics-talk out of this thread.

Bonk's Revenge is more like Nader--you know he's not going to win and any votes he does get will hurt the next-best candidate who might otherwise stand a chance.

Stratos · « **Reply #48 on:** January 25, 2010, 03:57:37 AM »

LOL. Now I want to assign each game in this poll a politician for fun...but even if I do it in a non-partisan and silly way I'm willing to bet that someone who can't control themselves will jump in and diss one of them and cause a minor scuffle that ends in tears, bans and thread locks...

Star Tropics got my vote, because I have fond memories of playing it. Super Mario Bros RPG and Actraiser are both great games and I enjoyed the Hell of out them, Star Tropics and ST2 has always felt to me like the black sheep in Nintendo's lineup.
