GNGOAT Round 1, Match 1

Welcome to the Greatest Nintendo Game of All Time contest's first match in the first round.

The matchups were randomly decided.

I will put the matches up every other day, and each round will be open for three days (so there'll probably be 2 or 3 matches taking place at any one time). I want to get through the first round as quickly as possible.

ROUND ONE, MATCH ONE

Kirby's Dreamland (GBC)

Kirby's Dream Land is a 1992 action-platform video game for the Game Boy, developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. It is both the first video game in the Kirby series and the debut of Kirby himself. Being the inaugural Kirby title, it created many conventions that would appear in later games in the series, including Kirby's basic moves. However, Kirby's trademark "copy" ability would not appear until Kirby's Adventure, released less than one year later. Kirby's Dream Land was designed by Masahiro Sakurai, who intended it to be a simple game that could be easy to pick up and play even by those unfamiliar with action games. He offered additional optional challenges for more advanced gamers such as an unlockable hard mode and the ability to edit Kirby's maximum HP and starting number of lives. Kirby's Dream Land was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS via the Virtual Console in 2011 and was also one of the games included in the compilation game Kirby's Dream Collection for the Wii, released to celebrate Kirby's 20th anniversary.

VERSUS

Pokemon X & Y (3DS)

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y are role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. They are the first installments in the sixth generation of the Pokémon series of role-playing games. First announced on January 8, 2013, by Satoru Iwata through a special Nintendo Direct, both X and Y were released worldwide on October 12, 2013, making them the first Nintendo-published retail games to have a simultaneous global release in all key regions. The highly anticipated games were a commercial success, selling four million copies worldwide in the first weekend, beating Black and White's record and making them the fastest-selling games on the 3DS. As of June 2016, the games have sold 14.98 million copies, becoming the best-selling games on the system.

WHO WINS? YOU DECIDE.
