But don't be discouraged if you disagree - you can always make a case for why Little Timmy would benefit greatly by playing Dark Souls before anything else. Something like Street Fightetr II Turbo is a very legitimate choice for the thread, but it's maybe not the best one to go with for a beginner's title. A game that's fairly simplistic and not too tough (but also not boring) is what we generally want to aim for in this job. The kind of game you would reccomend to a friend who's uninitiated with the whole videogame thing. Now, what do I mean by this? Well, to start off, we need a game that can be played by most anyone. If I hit a brick wall (which has happened in a lot of my past creation threads, I'll admit) I'll put up a 'submit a prompt' job so we can keep moving on schedule. There will usually be one game a week, and either an essential job (like the amount of games) a job for something around the games (like the stuff I just mentioned). There's a lot that goes into a compilation - aesthetic, collectibles, achievements, slight remastering, collection rooms, all that jazz. We could go a number of directions with this, be it prioritizing gaming history or just whatever individual users deem to be the most fun, but the one thing to keep in mind is that, with game submissions, you should be able to look at it and go 'yeah, there's a case to be made that everyone should play this.' One might think Fortnite is an essential for how much it took the world by storm for so long, another may want it for a different reason (like an abundance of pop-culture iconography), and someone might disagree with both takes and believe that Sonic 06 should be included because it provides a great example of what NOT to do when making a videogame, and someone else might genuinely think it's a really fun game that more people should give a chance to.you get the idea.Īnd don't worry, we won't just be doing game submissions.

A compilation that celebrates videogames at their core. A compilation which includes every game that the thread considers to be must-plays. That video got me thinking recently - what if we (the users of SmashBoards) tried to make an ultimate gaming compilation? A compilation that anyone could play and enjoy without any prior knowledge of videogames. I know not everyone is a fan of this guy but I definitely recommend the video, it has a lot of good points in it about what games could be considered 'essentials' based on different criteria and rules.

I hope the series continues.So, there was a Scott The Woz video from a while back where he talked about what games one might want to bring if they were to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of their lives. Rankings since everyone loves this stuff lol: I have it on my OG Wii and completely missed it since it came out late into the SNES life. I still need to play DKC3 for the first time. Gotdamn it is still very good, Island Swing, Cranky Theme, Mine Cart Madness, Life in the Mines, Forest Frenzy, Treetop Rock, and the beloved Aquatic Ambience.

While DKC feels more like an ancestor of Super Meat Boy.Īnd let's not forgot the music. I love YI, but it's more of a big 2D playground, with nooks and crannies. It also has that really fun speed run feel, something that you don't really get from another lauded SNES platformer released at the time, Yoshi's Island. After putting in some time recently via the SNES classic, the game is still very strong. Along with unfounded rumors of Miyamoto trashing the game. I remember in the early to mid-aughts reading many takes that DKC was a poor platformer. DKC2 got most of the love during the 16bit era and many years afterward.
