GNGOAT Round 1, Match 4

Welcome to the Greatest Nintendo Game of All Time contest's fourth 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 FOUR

The game was released in North America and Japan in May 2006, and in Australia and Europe in June 2006. Reviews of the game were very favorable.
