We are down to the final 4 games:

#1 Rock Band 2 (multi)
Vs.
#2 Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

Please discuss or predict any of the matchups. Full Brackets here: DVDTalk Video Game Tournament

I am really surprised that it came down to the #1 and #2 seeds.

Mario 3. Music games are fun, but just a enjoyable diversion for me.

I would have never guessed that it would come down to these two

Well I of course have to go with SM3 over some party game.

ass.

...almost voted for Rock Band.

Both games are really awesome. However, Rock Band is the game that keeps on giving. I have spent more hours with Rock Band than any other game ever. There's new content every week to keep it fresh. It's just awesome.

If it does lose though, SMB3 is a good game to lose to. I wouldn't say it's the best, but this isn't about the best. It's about your favorites.

Mario all the way.

Mario is fun to play through once every few years. Rock Band is fun to play once every few days. RB FTW.

Fixed.

10 years ago if you would have posted in this forum that one of the most popular upcoming games would involve the following as gameplay:

1. Colored circle moves from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen.
2. Player presses a button that corresponds to the colored circle.

Everybody would have thought you were insane.

DDR has been around for 10 years and is essentially the same thing. Putting that same concept to popular music is the key.

I'm not crazy about Mario games like apparently a lot of people here are, so I have to vote in favor of Rock Band 2. Very dissapointed with the 2 finalists.

This is a really tough one, but yeah, it came down to the fact that since '07, I've gone no more than a few days at a time without playing Rock Band. I loved Mario 3, but I just find RB to be consistently satisfying and virtually endless.

Rock Band 2 is the only game aside from Wii Sports that I have gotten everyone to play. Nobody says no.

Super Mario 3 isn't even the best game in the Mario series.

I think it is people's fond memories of The Wizard that is pushing Mario 3 at this point.

Gotta go with RB2. Never was a big fan of SMB3. Definitely preferred SMW.

Mario for me. Rock Band is good but its not even close to the same league as Mario. Put a red hat and blue suspenders on a turd and it will sell like crazy. Put non master tracks in rock band and you have Rock Revolution which was horrible. It's only the quality of the songs that make Rock Band any good. The basic game play is no different than GH or RR. Flame at will, I can take it.

Mario!

Which GBA game is Super Mario 3? I never had an NES.

Super Mario Advance 4.

It's also on Wii Virtual Console. And no NES?

I haven't followed these threads but I wanted to vote for RB just to make some people angry.

wow rock band made it to the finals. Most Impressive, but I had to vote Mario.

Definitely gotta be Super Mario Bros. 3
