Welcome to The GameTZ Game Club! This is my attempt at forming an easy to get into book club type thing, but with games! Anybody, and everybody, is welcome to join in on the fun!

Rules:

- Each month a random game will be chosen, by myself, for the club to play. Games can vary from the beginning of gaming onward to current-generation platforms. There are no limitations!

- You have from the 1st of every month to 11:59PM EST of the final day to complete the designated game. 100% completion isn't required. The point of the club is to provoke game discussion, as well as give GameTZ veterans and new users a place to mingle!]

- For every game completed, post a picture as proof of your completion Example. This is essential in order to receive your badge and entry to the monthly raffle.

- You will be awarded with a badge each month you complete the game. All badges will be proudly displayed next to your name in the original post. As long as you "roll credits" the game is considered beaten!

- Some months will feature prizes! Every user to complete the game of the month will be thrown into a drawing to win prizes! Users will be assigned a number and users will be randomly generated at some point the following month.

- Prizes will vary. Prizes will beon a donation basis by either me or another member. Sometimes physical, sometimes digital. If you would like to contribute, drop me a message. smile

- If you don't own the game, and you have access to it on another platform, you're welcome to play it that way. Just make sure that it's the same version, to qualify for the prize or badge.

- If you do not want to participate in the games, but would like to join in on the conversations, please do!

- If you would like to join, just post here, and I'll add you to the list of users. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or criticism, please don't hesitate to post them!

Made it through the fourth boss last night, just two more to go. That battle was actually pretty fun. The dialog in this game has me cracking up some of the time.

Well, it feels good to finally complete one of the monthly games. It's been a while. Parrying got a bit easier for me as the game progressed. I wish I bought and used more companion attacks earlier on. They certainly elevated the combat.

Hi Fi Rush was a fun pick. I enjoyed the style, disliked some of the QTE, but overall a good game. If they made a sequel, I'd play it. Heck, I might even do some of the post game quests I this one.

The Prince isn't in Smash Bros. Ultimate, unless he's an obscure assist trophy or something. The Smash roster and "2D game" qualifiers are probably the best way of narrowing down the list.


Piranha Plant positive
Joker negative (Persona 5 released in 2016)
Hero positive
Banjo & Kazooie negative (no 2D games)
Terry positive

Mario positive
Donkey Kong positive
Link positive
Samus positive
Yoshi positive
Kirby positive
Fox negative (no 2D games)

Ness positive

Jigglypuff positive
Peach positive

Young Link negative (no 2D games)
Ganondorf negative (no 2D games)
Mewtwo positive
Roy positive
Mr. Game & Watch positive
Meta Knight positive
Pit positive
Zero Suit Samus Blue Q (qualifies, but we already played the only 2D game featuring her)
Wario positive
Snake positive
Ike negative (no 2D games)
Pokemon Trainer positive
Diddy Kong positive
Lucas positive
Sonic positive
King Dedede positive
Olimar negative (no 2D games)
Lucario positive
R.O.B. Blue Q (qualifies, but way too impractical to be a real choice)
Toon Link positive
Wolf negative (no 2D games)
Villager negative (no 2D games)
Mega Man positive
Wii Fit Trainer negative
Rosalina negative (no 2D games)
Little Mac positive
Geninja negative (no 2D games)

Palutena positive
Pac-Man positive
Robin negative (no 2D games)
Shulk negative (no 2D games)
Bowser Jr. positive
Duck Hunt positive
Ryu positive
Cloud negative (no 2D games)
Corrin negative (no 2D games)
Bayonetta negative (no 2D games)
Inkling negative (no 2D games)
Ridley positive
Simon positive
King K. Rool positive
Isabelle negative (no 2D games)
Incineroar negative (no 2D games)



Based on that, it seems like the most likely franchises would be:
- The extended Mario universe (Piranha Plant, Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Dr. Mario, Wario, Bowser Jr.)
- Dragon Quest (Hero)
- King of Fighters (Terry)
- Donkey Kong / Country (Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool)
- Zelda (Link, Toon Link, Zelda)
- Metroid (Samus, Ridley)
- Kirby (Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede)
- Pokemon (Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, Mewtwo, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario)
- Earthbound (Ness, Lucas)
- Ice Climbers
- Fire Emblem (Marth, Roy)
- Mr. Game & Watch
- Kid Icarus (Pit, Palutena)
- Metal Gear (Snake)
- Sonic
- Mega Man
- Punch-Out!!
- Pac-Man
- Duck Hunt
- Street Fighter (Ryu)
- Castlevania (Simon)

Some of those are just plain impractical, and others we've already played through a bunch. Based on the "not yet" co-op answer, I'm leaning towards something from either Donkey Kong or Sonic as both of those games feature multiple semi-playable characters on screen, and both franchises have upcoming titles that we know about.

I'm probably wrong, though. Especially if the Smash Bros. response factors in assist trophies.

Oh right, it could be Mario vs DK. Switch version does have co-op that the GBA version didn't.

That said, the original was only about 5 hours long, so I'm just going to wait for the remake myself. smile
