Final Battle
 MegaMan X vs Final Fantasy III
Download Hour 2

Yoshi's Island got screwed in many people's opinion

Notes: What a Final 4 we have by the way, holy hell. This was the toughest block for our listeners to vote on because so many great classic games faced off where it was almost like "picking a favorite son". Not only did we have FFIII vs Sonic 3, we also had the final battle of MegaManX vs Final Fantasy III which saw Mets vote AGAINST a MegaMan game, and Shaun vote FOR MegaMan!

**Yoshi's Island Controversy: Yoshi's Island took on Final Fantasy III in Round 1 and it came down to a coinflip. The coinflip landed in the favor of Yoshi's Island so Yoshi's Island Moves on right? Well.... Jeff calls up to issue the Executive Challenge of the coinflp. Will for some stupid reason allows this to happen, and when the Executive Challenge is issued we had Kevin & Mets call up with opposing views on who should win. Will decides that each caller can make their case for the game they have chosen. Kevin explains how he had Yoshi's Island and it was fun and Final Fantasy III is not better than it. Mets' turn. Mets unleashes this amazing tale of how Final Fantasy III is one of the greatest games on the planet, let alone the system or RPG format. Will decides that Mets won the battle OVERTURNING the coinflip......

Music: More Final Fantasy III from OC remix, and some Sonic for the rest of Round 1. For the Final 4 we had some MegaManX & Yoshi's Island remixes from ocremix.org, as well as plenty of FFIII music.

Quick Block Analysis: MegaManX may have won this block either way, but Yoshi's Island def got screwed. Mortal Kombat did not get the proper respect in my opinion from our listeners in how good this game truly was.

Block 4 Winner: MegaMan X

Next Show: Wednesday Feb 25th 2009

16Bit Tourney Block 4 hour 1
The following battles went down in this hour:
Round 1:
Mortal Kombat vs Zombies ate my neighbors
Mega Man X vs NCAA Basketball
Final Fantasy III vs Sonic 3: Sonic & Knuckles*
*Battle completed in Hour 2
Download Hour 1

If Mortal Kombat wins the block then it will take on SFII in the Final 8

Notes: NCAA Basketball was the first 3d basketball game ever made for a console. The Final Fantasy 3 vs Sonic 3 battle was especially enjoyable as the listeners were writhing in pain with this tough decision.

Music: The Black Mages provided us with some Final Fantasy III music, and Rhayshon had an excellent version of the Mortal Kombat theme with electric guitar. We also went with some Mega Man X from the Neskimos as well as a few OC remixes from this selection.

Quick Block Analysis: This block proved to be different than last week where we saw some honest voting, even still it's a damn shame that NCAA Basketball had to go. It had the unfortunate fate of going up against a true classic of a game in Mega Man X, and really didn't stand a chance. We also saw the cult classic Zombies ate my neighbors fall to the legendary Mortal Kombat, but you hate to see a game like Zombies get elimnated.


Block 5 will be murder.
