Ugh, I hope people aren't voting for SGnG just so they can hear the crew complain about it. If so, that's not cool, guys. We shouldn't start off this feature with such a mean-spirited attitude.

Nope, it's one of my favourite games of all-time.

It's one of those game I've always wanted to play but never got around to it.  This would be a perfect opportunity.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Yep, you have to go through it twice.  If I remember correctly, all you get at the end is a one-line "congratulations" or something.

You don't remember correctly fortunately.

Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts has one of my favourite musical fanfares for the ending, it certainly made all the exertion required to see the ending a little more worthwhile, as far as I was concerned anyway.

It's nt my first choice, as I always found it very difficult.  If SGnG is selected, then I'm game.

I've already said this, but I'm looking forward to this feature.  I hope it sticks around.

So what happens in the event of a three way tie?

I actually don't know if the podcast crew has voted yet.  We'd be the deciding votes.

I voted Metroid II simply because it is one of my favorite games and I would love to talk about it.  I've just recently played through Drill Dozer, so that would be another game I would find easy to discuss.

Well, I picked Super Ghouls n' Ghosts because kids today got it too easy.

It's tied as of this moment, with two more days of voting left.  Don't start celebrating just yet.

I voted for Luigi's Mansion because I never played it before and listening to everyone cry about death in Super Ghouls n Ghost would be unbearable. Luigi is love!

Oh wow, Super Ghouls and Ghosts is getting edged out by Luigi's Mansion? It's too bad that people are choosing not to play one of the greatest games of all-time in favour of playing a game that was more forgettable than Pokemon Colosseum.

That is debatable.

Well, on second thought, I spent 30 minutes trying to get through the first level of Super Ghouls 'N' Ghosts yesterday. And another 10 just trying to get the cartridge to load. I'm still using my original 1991 SNES. I have a brand new-condition one I found a couple years ago waiting in the wings to get me through the next 20 years, but.... back on topic....

Yeah, SG'N'G is hard.

It's hard, but it's not frustratingly so. It's a challenge, but it's not cheap.

Not really.

Clearly it is if you're debating it, Dasmos. I don't see how you can claim a mild sequel to two Pokemon Stadiums is more noteworthy than a launch GameCube with no sequel that essentially introduced dual-analog control to gamers only familiar with Nintendo consoles. You can say you like Pokemon Colosseum more, but your claim is silly.

I remember my first time playing SG&G and thought I was cutting grass with scissors. Then when I thought I had it almost beat, I had to a whole new lawn to cut so I quit.

Maybe it's because I'm from Australia, but that made absolutely no sense to me.
