I know it was going to lose eventually, but I hardly think that you could call this bracket a proper guage of the popularity of video games when TMNT lasted longer than Goldeneye. Goldeneye was the flagship game for N64 and was always the most popular game for that console; the only thing that came close was Perfect Dark. TMNT was never anything special, there were any number of action/fighting games that were better on NES/SNES.
While I agree that TMNT is nothing compared to Goldeneye, this tourney can really only determine the best game. Single elimination brackets aren't designed to say that 1st round eliminations are worse than 2nd round. ...it's just a luck of the draw in who you play.
