The RetroBeat: Summer Games Done Quick 2021 runs to watch

I often enjoy Games Done Quick, which hosts two speedrunning marathons each and every year that raise millions of dollars for charity. From July 4 to July 11, it’ll be time for Summer Games Done Quick, which will be taking donations for Doctors Without Borders.

I’ll attempt to watch as numerous of the speedruns as I can, but often look at the complete schedule and take note of the runs I’m most excited for. And now I’m going to share these picks with you.

F-Zero GX

July 4 at 10:54 a.m. Pacific

I in fact just plugged my old GameCube back up, and F-Zero GX was the initially game I played. I miss this racing series, but at least its higher-speed GameCube installment nonetheless holds up. I’m excited to see an professional show the quickest way to race via this game’s inventive courses.

Crash Bandicoot 4: Its About Time

Run by Jordy925
July 7 at 12:55 p.m. Pacific

Crash Bandicoot 4 is one of my favourite games from last year, but I haven’t watched a speedrun of it but. I’ve seen lots of runs for the older Crash games, and they’ve often been impressive. These games demand some precise platforming that can be difficult for a typical playthrough. I cannot think about how tough the practical experience becomes when you are attempting to beat Crash 4 as promptly as achievable.

Sonic 3D Blast

Run by TGH and AmberCyprian
July 8 at 9:15 a.m. Pacific

I’m an ardent Sonic 3D Blast defender. Sure, it is not as very good as the Sonic Genesis trilogy, but this isometric platformer nonetheless has a lot of charm and an unbelievable soundtrack. And this is not going to be an ordinary speedrun, as these two are going to play this single-player game collectively making use of the very same controller.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Run by Kirbymastah and Claris
July 9 at 6:40 p.m. Pacific

RPGs often make for fascinating speedruns, due to the fact these are games that you usually count on to take dozens of hours to beat. This run, nevertheless, is anticipated to only last about 90 minutes. Viewers will also get to vote by way of donating to choose which of the 3 homes these two will be playing as.

Bowser’s Fury

July 10 at 8:24 a.m. PAcific

3D Mario games make for the greatest speedruns, and this will be the initially time we’ll see Bowser’s Fury at a GDQ occasion. It’s going to be exciting to watch this player use Mario’s acrobatics to attain shortcuts and race about Bower’s Fury open map. This could be the highlight of the complete occasion.
