(4)Final Fantasy vs (13)Pitfall 2004

Results
Round One Monday, April 5, 2004

Before the Match
Final Fantasy was developer Square's last shot at making money, and the result was a franchise. It was the effect of franchise voting that made Final Fantasy an intriguing competitor in this tournament. Final Fantasy VII was regarded as the most popular game on GameFAQs, and if enough fans of that game supported the NES original, an upset over Super Mario Bros. 3 was possible. But first it had to take care of business against the classic Pitfall.

After the Match
Final Fantasy took care of business alright, winning this match by a massive margin. It was clear that Final Fantasy was on a collision course with Super Mario Bros. 3, while Pitfall Harry was left to pick up the pieces of his game.
