It's a little bit of a potpourri category of RPGs I love, and demand receive more attention, but limited to the PS1/PS2, plus a game I wanted to feature somewhere, but couldn't without railroading it into a mostly unrelated category. The title is sort of a misnomer. My idea for it, though, is essentially to have everyone get warmed up in a nice sauna/hot-tub of one of the RPGs on the list, then run blithely and nakedly into the brisk snowbank of Monster World IV, for that extra special sensation. That wouldn't necessarily be a requirement, although I would definitely be disappointed in anyone who didn't follow that recipe.
I was definitely overthinking it. I voted for this and Capcom. The RPG category is awesome... it's a good mix of games; and I've been itching to replay DQ8. Plus, January feels like a good RPG month. And Monster World IV is awesome. It's falling behind, though.
As I type this, Konami and Capcom are tied. I have a Switch, 3DS and Xbox One and I don't believe ANY of the Konami Genesis games are available on those platforms now. I'd have quite a few options on the Capcom Dreamcast front. Though I'd still like to see the RPG category make a comeback.
I'd be cool with Shenmue as well. I actually expected more people to vote for it actually, which might be why I mixed it up. Shrug.
