Well things are good and jumbled now. Shovel Knight remains king, while the next two tiers are massive and mixed with all kinds. Some are games that faced the runoff, still hanging on. Some are games that game in just under and have only taken a few lumps. And some are games that started around this range and have been largely untouched (I don’t think AG Drive has lost a single song yet!) It feels like the most open tournament yet.
Part of that openness comes with consequences for some presumed favorites; we say goodbye to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, a game that faced a runoff but couldn’t even face the top 128. In slightly less final news, fellow runoffer Shin Megami Tensei IV is down to its final song, as is fan game darling Mega Man Unlimited. Will these once-favorites find the grit needed to hang on, or are they already thinking about the Bahamas?
