Keep on trying, every entry is a new chance to win. And the prizes get better the further into the competitions we get, so that's even more incentive.

Basically, which of the games wasn't intended to be an N64 title at any point in its development. For example the Xbox 360 game Kameo: Elements of Power was originally intended to be a GameCube title before years in development limbo eventually had it end up on the 360.

 

[Awdofgum]
