Fun Fact: Animal Crossing received the least number of nominations among the games getting into the bracket without going through vote-ins.
So of course it gets to go up against World of Warcraft in the first round and just thoroughly embarrass it. Don't let the 58-42 percentages fool you here, either. World of Warcraft got 1 seed respect from bracketmakers, but went out and performed like this was a 6/11 match. Failing to break even 60% on Animal Crossing, the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to Nintendo, might be a lower point for WoW than the match it actually lost.
I know GameFAQs despises World of Warcraft, but seeing just how deep that hate ran this contest was really something else. Can you imagine what Majora's Mask or a Smash would have done to Animal Crossing in WoW's place? I know we throw around the idea of anti-votes a lot, but for WoW it actually mattered a lot this contest.
The true irony here is World of Warcraft should have gotten "Game of the Decade" respect, and probably would have on any other site.
Trivia[]
