Vote For The Retro Game We Tackle Next For The Deepest Dive! (Patreon)

After a long stretch of covering new games with The Deepest Dive, we heard the community's outcry to go back and tackle something from the past with a multi-part game club discussion. To help support some of the Game Informer editors who lost their job when the magazine shut down, we let four of them choose the retro game they'd want to cover the most with The Deepest Dive. MinnMax folks will be on every option in the poll as well, although the final crew is always subject to change depending on schedules. You have until Monday to lock in your choice for which game we cover next in a two-part discussion for The Deepest Dive! Feel free to politely make your case in the comments for one game over another. Thanks for supporting independent games media and letting us extend some support for the former Game Informer folks!

Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012) - As one of Charles Harte's favorite games, we'd jump into this unique-controlling 3DS gem from the creator of Smash Bros. The 3DS eShop is down, so you'd have to get a physical version to play along. The crew would presumably consist of Charles Harte, Kyle Hilliard, Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, and potentially a special guest. (11.5 Hours - How Long To Beat)

Mirror's Edge (2008) - Alex Van Aken wants to go back and unpack DICE's parkour-centric first-person cult classic. The game is available on Steam and it looks like you can also still buy it on Xbox, or you can stream it on PlayStation via its classics collection. The crew would presumably consist of Alex Van Aken, Charles Harte, Jacob Geller, and Leo Vader. (6 Hours - How Long To Beat)

Mega Man X (1993) - Kyle Hilliard wants to play one of his favorite games of all time to celebrate the blue bomber's appearance in Funko Fusion presumably? This challenging and tight-controlling platformer would be the first 2D action game we've covered for The Deepest Dive. The Mega Man X Legacy collection is available for all modern consoles. The crew would presumably consist of Kyle Hilliard, Ben Hanson, Ross "The Star Wars Guy" Pfund, Bryan Vore, and possibly a special guest. (3.5 Hours - How Long To Beat)

God of War (2005) - As a big fan of character action games, Marcus Stewart thought it'd be interesting to go back and play the original God of War for the PS2. For a modern console option, you can stream the game on PS5. The crew would presumably consist of Marcus Stewart, Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, and Charles Harte. (9 Hours - How Long To Beat)

Choose wisely, the poll ends on Sunday night. The Deepest Dive for the winning option will begin soon, we'll share exact dates for the two-part discussion after the poll ends. As always, any help spreading the word about MinnMax and The Deepest Dive is appreciated!
