[spoiler]
The pain came fairly evenly this round. No game that came in with more than 4 songs was spared, and besides poor Kirby: Planet Robobot no game was eliminated if it came in with more than 2 songs.
We see Shovel Knight and Crypt of the NecroDancer form a clear top two. Both indie games with synth soundtracks; will our voters prefer chiptune or more modern sounds as the tournament continues?
Just below that we have a fairly robust “usurper class”. Pre-playoff favorites like Persona 5, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Shin Megami Tensei IV, and Undertale rub elbows with risers such as Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Mega Man Unlimited, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Heaven Variant, and Mighty Switch Force 2. This is, as you can see, a pretty packed picture. We’ll see if this next round offers any clarity.
