My main gripe with GDQ is that it always seems to be the same set of games every event.

Like do we really need to see Paper Mario TTYD for the 4th, or Donkey Kong 64 for the 6th time?

Meanwhile, even mainstream Nintendo games like Mario & Luigi Partners in Time, Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team haven't been shown a single time in the last decade. Why?

They have the same set of bigger games I think but during COVID, since they did it remotely for a few years, we've seen quite a few games that aren't normally run and a ton of runners from outside the states that wouldn't have had a chance to show off their skills otherwise. It's been a really nice change of pace from the years before COVID that I've seen.

For example, yesterday someone ran Tails Adventure on an actual Gamegear and I dunno if I've ever seen that before. I'm also not familiar with quite a chunk of runners this year and I'd like to think I keep up with the community to some degree.
