This venue used to be the big spot for multiple nerd conventions in town and then in 2019 they got new owners who decided to price every con out of their venue when it came time to renew contracts. The only reason SGDQ is still there, afaik, is this event is still technically just fulfilling a 3 year contract that started in 2018.

I somehow missed that this game even existed, but it's a legitimately great concept for a Pokemon game. They should do another one of these that just shamelessly rips off those high-fidelity hunting games, and lets you wander around a Pokemon region stalking these creatures and trying to get a good picture without them running off / electrocuting you.

There's a second, more recent Pokemon Snap game for the Switch that has a lot more content, though it's still on rails.

There are a few indie titles inspired by the theme as well. I would love a big monster tracking game where you just wanted to shoot fab shots of the monsterstho.

Interesting. I wonder if that means they'll reconsider the entire city choice for future SGDQ's or just go to a different venue in the area.

I've seen this happen too often, hopefully the hotel staff is being accommodating, it's usually very well known to staff that groups are there on old contracts and that no one is "making any money"

Incredible Crisis is very silly, so at least through there. Pretty sure King's Quest is a bit silly, not sure about Little Mermaid, and almost certainly not Metal Gear after it.

I was kind of assuming King's Quest was part of it due to Cedric, but couldn't figure out if Little Mermaid was or not.

Watching the Perfect Dark run reminds me that there is a new game called Agent 64 that is basically GoldenEye and Perfect Dark but made in 2022.

Perspective has a neat gimmick, you gotta guide a little guy around who moves in 2D but you yourself control a 3D environment

Getting a Narbacular Drop vibe from this, like the devs wanted this to get picked up and become the next Portal but it didn't pan out.

Super Dream dasher seems like one of those games where the movement looks like it was designed for the purpose of speedrunning.

Some games you can instantly tell what system it was on. I've never heard of Bulk Slash but it screams SATURN.

If you want to feel old, read the stream chat. They didn't know what a Saturn was, were only vaguely aware of the Dreamcast, and thought the PS1 used DVDs.
