Won't start until Sunday, July 2nd...but for those curious now:

https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule

Begins with NieR: Automata and Halo, ends with the Nintendo trio of Super Mario 64/Majora's Mask/Earthbound, has a FF7 speedrun after the Super Metroid race, and they give me the early birthday gift of a Mega Man 4 speedrun. Proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders -- should be good!

After Undertale's success with fundraising last time, I gotta believe Earthbound will be a pretty strong finale for them too.

The game list has been out for a bit but nice to see the actual schedule.

Still can't believe there's no Breath of the Wild.

It was released way too late for it to be in. Expect it in AGDQ 2018.

Super Metroid as not the second to last game is really throwing me off. I guess they're experimenting with the possibility since they'd probably like to have some flexibility on that, maybe use the summer to see what happens to donations when save/kill the animals is off the table

The guy who was going to do Dark Souls 3 dropped out because he couldn't do the most recent DLC (it was released too late by GDQ's rules)

I'm excited for a ton of stuff here so you guys are weird

*looks at Nier Automata, which was released only a week earlier*

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

I was wrong actually, BotW was released early enough to be in (they DO have a hard cutoff - no game that's released after the submission period can be run), but it's really likely that nobody had a solid speedrun of it ready to go yet. The bigger surprise is that someone DID have Nier Automata ready to go.

Good line up tbh, heavy on castlevania which is fine by me, got the JSRF run, Supermeatboy race, Earthbound glitchless to finish... and plenty of other things.

It's hard to get as hyped as I used to for it because genuinely awesome speedruns take awhile to mature and most of the ones that exist have been showcased to death.

I'm perfectly okay with that. Even if it's a bit haphazard. More Nier in big events = More Nier Sales = More Yoko Taro going "What the fuck is going on my games don't sell well"

Maybe this time they will try it with commentators that don't tell anyone to kill themselves.

Given that as I recall, the preferred Guacamelee speedrun is 2 player, probably.

Are ANY of the games on schedule on the Switch? Maybe they didn't want to hook up a new system for one game.

Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment listed right below BotW is listed on the Switch, strangely enough. I don't know if it makes a difference for that game, but I would have assumed PC.

But that is literally the only one.

It's a good schedule overall, my only friend going this year will be doing the MK64 run which is neat. But the week-ending show stopper is... a 4 hour Earthbound run, really? It's like they don't even WANT Nick's undying viewership.

Mario Game Relay, X2 and Grand Master Tetris races seem cool.
I like the races in these things.
Outside of that watching random games done quick is how I roll, doesnt really matter the game (outside of RPG runs)

A system takes only a few seconds to hook up I am sure.

But doesn't the Switch version lag? Maybe the game can be beat faster on the U.

Ohhh helllllll noooooooo.

I mean, it might just be player preference that they're going with the Wii U version, or there might be a speedrunning related reason, but I'm certain not needing to hook up a Switch factors into this.

One run I really want to give a shoutout to is Brothers. Kevin Regamey is running it. He's the lead guy at Powerup Audio, the crew that handles the sound work for every SGDQ and also did sound design for a bunch of games, including Crypt of the Necrodancer and Darkest Dungeon. I met Kevin last SGDQ and he's a super cool dude, he had planned to run the game last year but didn't submit in time, so it's awesome that he's gonna run it this year. Powerup Audio does an amazing job keeping things running smooth on the sound front at SGDQ so I'm a big fan.

I'm gonna actually have to play the game first though, since he said absolutely don't watch the speedrun until I've beaten the game. So I guess that's on my to-do list.

So one thing you don't ever really see much unless you have a view from the audience is the tech crew, which is often like 10 people strong, running around like fucking crazy to get shit ready in between runs, and from what I've heard it sounds like setting up new systems basically always comes with unforeseen complications. I don't know why it's so difficult, but it just is - there's a lot of moving parts back there. So yeah not having to hook up a Switch, a system that's never been run before at GDQ, is probably a relief!
