Will Take on Final Fantasy, Zelda in Round 2
After a disappointing mid-week loss by Sonic 3 in the GameFAQs Best Game Ever brackets, Saturday’s vote of more than 100,000 crowned a clear champion in the group of four–Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
The classic Sonic game beat out its competition to advance to the next round, with more than 37 percent of the vote. Mortal Kombat II will join Sonic 2, leaving Secret of Mana and Shining Force II in the dust.
The voting not only means the original Sonic from 1991 will do battle in its division, its sequel will represent in the 1992-94 division semi-final. When the time comes, Sonic 2 will go up against Final Fantasy 3, Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Mortal Kombat II.
We will let you know when the next round of voting is. Thanks to BlackHawkOmega for letting us know of the good news via our news tips system. If you have something to share, tell us by clicking “News Tips” at the top of every page.













Will this is great news but why isnt Sonic Cd on the list? (Is it possible that thats game could beat all of them knowing its the best Sonic game of all time is that why its not on the list?)
SONIC! SONIC! SONIC!
Wel… *stares unbelievably.*
I’m speechless. Sonic 3 didn’t advance but Sonic 2 did?
…..Overrated. But still happy to now that Sonic is still in the competition now….
well no one played FFIII on the Nes, links awakeining was on the gameboy,, but at least mortal kombat may provide some copetition
Lol, Sonic 2 is kicking the other games asses!
FFIII…..the older FF games just suck. I think Crisis Core is the best one so far.
Yeah, Sonic CD should be there! And Why Sonic3, why not Sonic 3 & Knuckles that was waaaay better with hyper sonic,tails, knuckles and everything!
Going against Final Fantasy 6? Sorry, Sonic 2′s gonna lose to that big time. I’m not sure if that round will still have two winners, but if it’s just one, Sonic 2 ain’t gonna go any farther. Even I would place FF6 above Sonic 2. I get the feeling these Sonic games are placed in very tough pools!
Oh wait they mean FFII on the Snes the one which was really called VI, not the Nes, oh then…yea Sonic 2 wont stand a chance
sonic is best hedgehog characther thier is new sonic game called sonic chronicles 2 and sonic unleashed 2 for 2009 because something tells that chronicles and unleashed came out in 2008 chronicles 2 & unleashed 2 relase 2009?
My question is why aren’t the best Sonic games on there? I’m speaking of the Adventure games. Hell, it had Mario Galaxy, why not Sonic Unleashed?
@Phillip: No. Just no.
Sonic 3 was up against the best of the best so sadly I could understand it losing.
Phillip, I respect you greatly. Will you be my friend on Xbox Live?
lon: Because it’s too dangerous with Mr Monster guy. He can maybe hurt someone.
No SA2? Shesh…i don’t mind These classic sonic games in the brackets, but put in a few good older ones too why wont ya?
Then again this is gamefaqs were talking about, meh.
@SupahSonikku:
Heh? Whatchu’ talkin ’bout Willis? Sonic Adventure 2 come 6 years after Sonic 3 & Knuckles….
Ooh… Final Fantasy, Mortal Kombat, and Zelda?
Sonic 2 doesn’t stand a chance…. Personally, I never played those games, but I have a feeling that Sonic’s in a rut, here….
I was meaning it couldive been in a bracket for the older games, if there was one for the year it was released.
And bah, the whole “sonic in the rut” things to be expected. All too common nowadays in competitions like this.
