Welcome to the Nintendo Game of the Week Thread! In the NintenZone, we have a lot of dedicated threads, but I want to start something that will have a lot more variety and will get us out of our comfort zones. Each week, we'll be discussing, celebrating and critiquing Nintendo games. We'll have a new game every week, so check here every Saturday. We'll also make lists of people who have played each game and gather recommendations for you all. Hopefully this thread gets you to talk about games you're passionate about and gets you to try something new.
And now for a Q and A segment to help explain the rules.
Q: What's the purpose of this thread?
A: The thread's main purpose is to just talk about a featured game. We'll choose a game every week and talk about it. I'm also giving a bit of a personal challenge to try some games you haven't tried before. After all, someone's recommendations may cause you to want to try something!
Q: Wait challenge?
A: Yes, as a bit of fun, I'm challenging people to play games they haven't played yet. For example, if you haven't played Donkey Kong Country, and its the game of the week, I'd recommend trying it so you can join in the discussion. If this thread got you to try a game for the first time, I'll even bold your name in the game's post.
Q: What games are eligible?
A: Any Nintendo published or Nintendo partnered game is allowed. Games that aren't published by Nintendo can be discussed in the general gaming section.
Q: How are remakes handled?
A: Remakes will be treated the same as the game they were based on, even if there are new additions and radically different content. It will let us discuss the differences between the remakes and the original.
Q: I don't know what to say. What should I do?
A: Some great places to start would be talking about your first impressions, how your opinion has changed over time or your favorite or least favorite segments. If you haven't finished the game, maybe you could talk about what you played or where you got stuck. You could talk about music tracks, bosses, levels and even characters.
Q: What if I haven't played the game before?
A: You can still join in the discussion. You just won't be added to the confirmed players list.
Q: What about recommendations?
A: If you've played a game, we'd love you to give a recommendation if you think the game deserves them.
Q: Do we talk about Smash Bros?
A: You can talk about a game's connections to Smash Bros, but it's not really what the thread is about. Try to keep it focused on the game itself.
Q: What if I want to talk about a game after its week is over?
A: You can finish conversations that weren't finished, but try to post something about the new game as well.
Q: I have some games I'd like featured. How do I request them?
A: Shoot me a list in a private message. I may not get to them right away, but assuming they are eligible, they will get their day.
Q: I have some suggestions for how the thread is run. How do I suggest then?
A: Please PM them to me.
