I think there should be something here that we can agree on playing for January. Note: Conker's Bad Fur Day is by far the most expensive one to buy, but there are a fair number of people who already own it and it's sought after enough that others might want to buy it anyway, so I made an exception to our usual "keep it affordable" rule. The others can all be had relatively cheap ($30 and under usually for cart only).

comment suggestion votes - please keep these limited to N64 titles for this poll:
Jet Force Gemini - N64 - 1 vote
Blast Corps - N64 - 2 votes
Ogre Battle 64 - N64 - 1 vote
Paper Mario - N64 - +1 vote

Voted-ed. :)

My 2¢ has been submitted.

Someone voted "Other" and didn't add their suggestion.

If it isn't obvious, these are all N64 titles.

oops i guess i should have specified, updated the poll title to make it clearer, and added a 10 day limit. enough time to let lots of people vote but still leave enough time to plan the playthrough before january

I'm voting for the only game in the list I own. Majora's Mask. Its also the ugliest cart in my collection.

Oh! I voted other, I'm sorry. It seems that the games listed above are adventure themed, so I would suggest, Jet Force Gemini.

Have not played that in a LONG time.

that would be a very good one too, but i had to narrow it down to only 5 to make it manageable ;) if anyone wants to "second" a suggestion just say so in a comment

Blast Corps

Edit: I'm an idiot. 

I voted Other, but I wasnt paying to the N64 part.

My vote NOW goes to Paper Mario.

I guess I'll toss a second vote into Other and suggest BLAST CORPS.

Goemon and Mischief Makers were my two choices.

...for those keeping track, Blast Corps and Mischief Makers are both titles heavily played by __peaches, who's a well known speedrunner. I can watch him play those games for hours.

were you somehow able to go back and put your second vote in for paper mario into the poll, or are you just giving your vote in comment? i'm about to update the first post with a tally of comment votes/suggestions

Picked The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and also clicked other to suggest Ogre Battle 64

ogre battle is one i'm very interested in playing too, but if the save file from the previous owner of my copy is anything to go by, that's an extremely long game for n64...could need 2 months like super mario rpg.

edit: oh wait you didn't specify, which ogre battle are we talking about? i've got n64 on the brain and assumed that one but remembered that it's not the only one.

I voted other. I don't own a N64 and my friend who does own one doesn't own any of those games.

My vote will always go to Phantasy Star on SMS.

Ogre Battle 64: Persons of Lordly Caliber, I picked it because it's also available on VC as well.

Ogre Battle 64 has multiple endings. I spent 4 days straight as a kid trying to beat that game as a rental, only to return it just before the ending. Expect to put ~50 hours into it.

I wholly support Dezorian on this. And if you dont have an SMS, get the Sonic Genesis Collection and get a friend to help beat the first level of Sonic 2. This unlocks the SMS Phantasy Star on the disc.

that's about how many hours were on the file on my copy

@mike that's good to know about the genesis collection

@Dezorian and EngineerMike, singlebanana and I were talking and we decided that to keep some sort of focus on what's being voted on for this playthrough specifically, we'd like to limit it to N64 games only. Phantasy Star is a great playthrough choice and we'll definitely keep it in mind for the next SEGA month. If you'd like to re-cast your second vote for an N64 title, that's perfectly okay with us.

Also this hasn't come up yet but to clarify in case anyone didn't realize, the "other" option having the same number of votes as mischief makers right now doesn't mean that "other" is winning. The winning title is still determined by specifically which game has the most votes, so right now the highest voted "other" suggestion has only 2 votes, even though the "other" option in the poll choices says 5 total.

Last note is on the time left to vote, it's set to automatically close the poll on Saturday...it doesn't give me very precise choices, only "[blank] number of days to run poll". That could mean it ends at 00:00 Saturday morning (midnight friday), or it could go all the way to 23:59 Saturday night, I'm not exactly sure. So anticipate the polls to close Friday night to be safe, and try to vote before then if you haven't yet!

voting is closed and we have a tie! as it's clear the community would be happy with either Mischief Makers or Paper Mario i'm going to leave it to the other community playthrough hosts and myself to break the tie.
