To explain...

If you recall that Chrono Trigger playthrough I did last year, that was actually a series I had recorded far in advance, a banked playthrough which we could have in our back pocket just in case something unexpected came up that prevented us recording new episodes for a while (like having to move).

I want to get another "in case of emergency" playthrough recorded so we have that safety fallback again, and y'all are going to help me choose the game!

Keep in mind:

  • You can vote for multiple games, so select as many of these as you want!

  • The winner of this vote is going to be a banked playthrough! There's no way of knowing how long it might be until we need it. It's entirely possible that the winner of this vote may not show up on the channel for years. So when you're picking games below, be sure to only select ones that you do want to see someday, but are willing to wait for.

Cast your votes!

I look forward to seeing which game y'all pick! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the replies below.

Thanks for the help!

Excellent games to choose from. I can't wait to see any of these eventually. Keep up the good work.

M Yen

I haven't even played Pyre yet but by the scribes I want to make it happen at this point

Emily Crawford

Oof. There’s games I’m tempted to vote for to make sure they get played…but I don’t want to wait for them. 🤣

DK

A story mode play through of all three splatoon games would be great, except you have to play splatoon 2 Octo expansion because it kinda the real story mode of Splatoon 2 and has a huge influence on 3’s story mode

Julia A.

uuuh hard choice! Would that mean that Horizon is not on the table for anything else? Not that I won't be following in the year 2053, but yknow, maybe we're at Horizon 3 by then.

Nazrax

Pyre! Finish the Supergiant collection! (It's _so_ good)

Momodashii

Ohhh I've been dying for a Paper Mario TOK playthrough since it came out!

Did Dan ever play Bastion on the channel? I honestly can't remember. (Maybe back during the Extra Credits days?)

Gamyeon
>>145547194

They did a few episodes with a guest back in the Extra Credits days, but not a full playthrough if I remember right.

Gamyeon

I voted for everything except Forbidden West because I want this to be a weekly let's play like the first one. FE Three Houses would be good since I don't think it would be in super high demand, although I do worry about how you would manage the 3-4 storylines and the video length since it's a lot of long battles. I love it with all my heart, but I understand why it hasn't been played yet.

callowGuru

How on earth do you expect me to pick from a list this good?

Dunamis

Prey! It's been awhile since Dan played FPS.

Ryan Zhao

Jiggies of Time is really good fun. Constant pleasant surprises and cheeky jokes throughout.

Curt Clark

If Banjo then possible Jones collab as well, yeah? I'm for it

PlayFrame

All of these may still show up on the channel even if they don't get picked for this! These are all just games which I don't expect to get to in the immediate future and which will have evergreen appeal whenever we DO get to them.

I'd rather Deltarune not be a banked playthrough, as I'd prefer not risk that one being pushed back even further. :P

Nicholas S.

So many good choices, but I gotta go Earthbound. What a classic.

GeometryGirl

Prey has such good environmental storytelling. It would be so fun to see you explore the narrative! It’s really great to hear an animator’s take on world building! (Anything you choose will be great tbh!)

Benjamin Siegfried

There's good things on that list, but I do not want them to end up sitting in the "maybe never" pile. Chrono Cross feels thematically right, and will be a good thing to show up in case of trouble. Everything else I like I really want to see sooner then (BREAK GLASS) and then I'd be wanting something BAD to happen so... *checks earthbound as well* ... I could do with not seeing this yet, and enjoying that it exists....

LlamaMaster
>>145565303

I mean, "emergency" playthrough doesn't necessarily have to mean something bad happened. It could be a case of Dan and Carrie moving again, or going on vacation for an extended period of time, or... you get the idea.

Benjamin Siegfried
>>145565303

You WOULDN"T be driven mad by finding out that your first pick was waiting on a pile and wouldn't be played next? I'd go batty.

Benjamin Siegfried
>>145549895

It's even harder then that, because the one you want most, you don't actually want to win, because you won't be able to see it until something goes "wrong". It's like trying to pick your second favorite...

MayImilae

Prye is -definitely- what I think would be the best emergency playthrough. It's really weird but also very interesting! Last Guardian is also a good recommendation, and Super Paper Mario is great. Metroid Prime Remastered is also a good choice, though I would prefer it as just a regular playthrough on the channel, and not hidden away for years. Personally I'd looove to see you play through Splatoon Trilogy Story Mode, but I'm not sure how well it would do. It has the benefit of being five total playthroughs though, which is a lot of emergency coverage! As for ones I think wouldn't work well, that's definitely Earthbound. It's nostalgic for a lot of people, but it's hella polarizing. Vaguely cute but also very unpleasant and disturbing. Like the mass suicide at the end. It gets really not nice! Earthbound gets a strong emotional response, but that's either very positive or very negative. Something so polarizing isn't great for an emergency playthrough, IMO.

Quill

Pyre is always deserving of more attention! It's been on this list for so long, and always losing out in second place -- I hope we'll get there eventually!

Steve Jakab

Not on the list, but you should do Beyond Good And Evil. A remaster was recently released, so it should work on modern systems.

I'd like to see a video on New Frame Plus on Origami King. It's the first Paper Mario game where the characters and environments actually looked like paper, not just 2D, and it would be neat to see a breakdown of how they did that.

Myr Lune

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised to see Three Houses on this list, I had nearly completely written it off when I suggested it years ago xD.

Robert Calhoun

it was difficult to vote for anything as i kinda want to see a lot of these, but not necessarily wait for years, lol

Myr Lune
>>145599758

Definitely Blue Lions - it has that classic Fire Emblem feel with the.. "most satisfying" story, for lack of a better descriptor. When I say that I had almost written it off, I meant that Dan had replied to me when I suggested it and said that the game was a bit of a long one lol.

InkMaster

I really want to see Forbidden West on the channel, but I cannot wait long enough for it to be an emergency playthrough.

Gigabyte22

Lots of good options. One thing to consider: with Splatoon, you should cover Octo Expansion (the DLC for Splatoon 2). It is, hands-down, the best single player content of the entire Splatoon series so far, in gameplay but particularly in story. If you don't include it in a Splatoon Trilogy playthrough, maybe throw it in as a bonus playthrough not too long afterwards (it's not too long).

Anamaria
>>145599758

Couldn't disagree more after playing all the routes. I actually thought Blue Lions was the weakest of the routes by a long shot, since it kind of backtracks on a lot of the setup that's established in part 1. Really, the correct answer is Cindered Shadows. Give a nice little taste of the core cast, contained in a standalone story that's only 7 chapters long instead of the 17+ you'd be getting even from CF
