Party games have been STUGGLING Since Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort came out. In this video I explain my formula for a perfect party game, AND a game that I believe to be a perfect part game.

YIPPIE! KEYWORDS!
In this video I talk about party games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe booster pack 5, Mario Party Superstars, Speedrunners, Ultimate chicken horse and the Jackbox Party pack! I love games like Champed up, talking points, Tee K.O. Patently stupid, and Mad verse city. If you also like party games like Mario Party or mario kart from nintendo, this video is for you!

    Some thoughts:
    - Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes might also work for these criteria.
    - Games with bad downtime issues (like Super Mario Party) are great when you have friends over and also happen to have, like, a pizza on the table, so you can snack until your turn comes up.
    - Heave Ho and Unrailed are two of my favourite party games that not enough people talk about. I just wanted to say that out loud.
    - We are legally family, apparently. sorry.

    That sleepover joke just brought on a wave of nostalgia
  • I really like speedrunners but it has the same problem smash does to where when one person gets "too good" the other players aren't really allow to play the game. But when they are allowed, this game is such a blast
  • @ivanthaboi
    I just realized how truly amazing this channel is. Probably one of my favorites rn
  • @lrgogo1517
    That last section about Jackbox hit really weird... He disapproved of Party Packs 8 & 9 and the Quiplash series, but worded it like they were fandom-wide opinions. Jay is the first human I've heard say they dislike Quiplash.

    I love the way you come up with genre guidelines that creates the perfect game and then follow through with not only great suggestions, but one that mets all the criteria. If anyone asks where all my money went, I'm going to point at my game library and then you.
  • I like how you make your mascot move like an actual bird. Only thing better would be to make him do a little bouce
  • 5:55 If you think there's no skill gap in Ultimate Chicken and Horse you haven't played with non-gamers lol
    Tried to play with my sister and my parents and they struggled just to run and jump at the same time.
    My brother and I either had to sandbag which woukd be obvious and make the others feel bad, only be competitive with each other, or dominate completely. Was not fun.
    It's casual gamers and up only

    Dude, I did not expect for that link to actually work! That's some awsome dedication to perfecting your video! Hats off

    Counter point: the Cards Against Humanity issue. Most Jackbox games require you to perform and then be judged, which adds a lot of pressure and can alienate people. With close friends, it's not that big of an issue, but if you have a few (or even one!) Person who's weirder/edgier than everyone else, the whole party's vibe is off.
  • A few nights ago I was invited to come play JackBox with a few people on my college campus. It was the most fun I’ve had playing a game ever. Tee K.O was my favorite. All the insane drawings and quote combos really had me crying laughing

    This is kind of why the nintendo DS was the golden age for party games. That download play option so many games had was amazing. Ofc you need to be local, but the amount of hours I played mario kart, mario bros and mario 64 multiplayer with my brother and sister is crazy
  • Skill gap absolutely matters in UCH. I first tried playing it with work colleagues and there was no contest since I play platformers regularly.

  • @frgogi3485
    the sound of the WII just hit me with so much nostalgia wtf

    "Stop re-releasing games that nobody likes"
    >shows quiplash 3

    Easily the worst take I've heard on this channel
