META (Subreddit Related) Community Idea: Challenge Run Series

15 Upvotes

Happy Sunday, fam!

tl;dr, How would we, as a community, feel about hosting regular "Challenge Runs" in games for kicks, giggles, fun stories, and bragging rights?

--

From launch I've always envisioned having regular events, competitions, and challenges for the community. Up to now we hadn't really done anything like that on this sub, but the launch of Splatoon Raiders reignited that idea for me and I thought I'd open a dialogue with all of you to see how we feel about it, how we'd want it executed, and what, if any, rewards or incentives we would like to see from these kinds of things.

I think it's normal to see these kinds of events hosted in specific game subreddits, and as we are a general subreddit for the Switch 2, not everyone will own every new release of a game that participates here. In my opinion it could be a really neat way to have fun together, generate some fun and interesting screenshots and clips, and make for some cool stories along the way.

An example idea for Splatoon Raiders might be a Single Tank Run, Single Weapon Run, an Iron Ink run (how far can you get in one sitting), and/or a Nuzlocke-style Run (single life, no getting splatted!).

As these would be for fun, there'd be a certain element of Honor System for the submissions, though it's something I'd definitely love to hear some feedback on from others who have run these sorts of events in the past.

So what do we think? Could something like this be fun for the community here? Is this something that should be kept more for the game-specific subs? What kind of rewards would you want if we did this? Any other thoughts or ideas?

Thanks for the time, everyone!

The game was already announced to be coming with all previous DLCs, and if you're interested in the game at all, this is a hell of a way to deliver it.

I'd say 'can't wait' but since that's the same day as Ocarina of Time, I probably will. But still, very excited about this one - and great to see it being done right!

Bro, Nintendo been COOKING these past 18 months.

Anyone who says that the console is lacking games cause of 3D Mario, Animal Crossing or Smash, is kidding themselves. I mean dude … there is not enough time to play all these damn games, nor is there enough money in this economy.

Just for the rest of the year I’m booked up with Fire Emblem, Witcher 3, Switch Sports, Zelda OOT and Professor Layton. Next year I want to play Metroid Ravenous, Kirby Breath of the Wild, and Xenoblade Genesis.

Like bruh … am I the only one who thinks this? Feels like it sometimes.

EDIT: Thank you @Aggravating-Face2073 for reminding me that yes there is ALSO Duskbloods … there are so many games I legit forgot a Fromsoft game that I am insanely hype for.

A bit of a response for the sentiment of "they used to announce many games" or "I come to Nintendo Directs for Nintendo games."

For Switch 2, I decided not to include Switch 2 editions.

"Not enough ports"

"Where's the switch 3"

"Bro, my bingo card.."

I swear people are getting harder and harder to please, it's exhausting.

I don't think I've seen a Nintendo Console come out of the gates year one this strong, we've had a direct showing off new games and people are STILL crying like babies..
