I think I picked Punch Out before, but I'm going to change my vote this time around to Zelda.

Re: "Favorite" Video Game Tournament ROUND #2 - TIE BREAKER

Both are classics that are still enjoyable today. But Zelda was the first game I can recall playing that provided a true sense of adventure, with a large world to explore.

Also, I'll never forget the feeling of finishing the game only to discover that I could play it through again as an almost completely new game, with everything in a different location.

So yeah, that one.

I think Punch-Out has a much higher replay factor, but Zelda was so fucking epic that the franchise has been sustainable for 20 years. Punch-out on the other hand has had to wait for a revival to be relevant again.

No contest. Zelda.

There are usually right around 40 voters on these polls. So for Tyson to come back and win now would mean that he would have to get almost all the remaining votes.

[C3PO] The odds of that happening are exactly 1,062,843 to 1. [/C3PO]

Very tough choice. I think I'd normally pick Zelda, but went with Punchout since you all mentioned it was behind.
