Game 1: 1. Banjo & Kazooie
I admire what Jade has been able to do, but no more beatable opponents. Dread it... run from it... Banjo still arrives.
Game 2: ABSTAIN
Maybe I'll decide later; for the moment, though, I just can't make up my mind one way or the other. Both have their merits.
Game 3: 5. Lloyd Irving
Tales of has done more to merit a spot, and Lloyd interests me more as a fighter, anyways.
Game 4: 3. Professor Layton
Don't really want either that much, but I guess Layton has earned it.
Game 5: 5. Amaterasu
Rayman is deserving, sure. What I've played of his series was good, but not necessarily great. Amaterasu is more interesting to me both in terms of style and moveset. I'm fine either way, though.
Game 6: 2. Simon Belmont
I oppose Sora.
Game 7: 4. Spyro
Crash is a great choice... but I'm just too biased towards Spyro. I am sorry.
Game 8: 2. Bomberman
Neku's moveset might turn out a bit better, if I had to guess, but Bomberman has earned this spot. Hard decision. Neku has done great, though!
Bonus Game: 2. Bomberman
Both are iconic, so why not pick the new series?
