Weird suggestion but I LOVE to see them take on the Game Gear version of Sonic 2.

The Gamecube version of Sonic Adventure DX allows you to start two simultaneous sessions (on the same screen) of the Game Gear game by pressing Start on Player 2 controller.

Loading Video...

Not only is it one of the hardest Sonic games but I think it the "race to the finish" aspect would make a fun, competitive series of This is the Run.

I dunno if the dual audio could be cleaned up in production(?) - but I kind of dig the weirdness of it all anyway.

Balloon Fight or Bubble Bobble I think would be a ton of fun and pretty chaotic. These are probably some of the best 8bit multiplayer games that i feel still hold up very well.

Gunstar Heroes would be great and I would also say Dinosaurs for Hire for the Genesis, which is a surprisingly decent run' n gun in that and the Contra vein. Also seems right up Vinny and Dan's alley in terms of dinosaurs wearing sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts.

Also as a huge fan of the Final Fight/Streets of Rage style beat-em-up, I'm gonna say that style of game is not well suited to this format. Mostly because optimizing your run means relying on stun locking enemies, which is fine when you're playing but boring to watch objectively. Shoot em ups inherently aren't very fun to watch either in my opinion, despite both of the aforementioned genres taking a pretty big share of the old, hard co-op game selection.

Run 'n guns are probably the best suited to this series, as we've seen with the Contra games. The Rolling Thunder games might be good, as while they're technically run 'n gun they also basically play like Shinobi.

Two Crude Dudes (previously suggested) is a 2D beat em up like an Altered Beast. I would have thought before that these would be great games for this series, but now after the earth shattering revelation that there is barely any strategy whatsoever to Altered Beast (which nobody actually thought was a good game, but it was a huge flagship title for Sega and... I really thought there must have been something else to that eye ball boss, you know?) I'm starting to think such game will either be too easy or have very similar issues.

Gunstar Heroes seems like the perfect pick, lots of bosses with patterns to learn, tons of variety, around the right length, and it's a good (and good looking) game. Dice palace should be a blast too.

Most beat em ups are too long to finish in this format and, even as a fan of the genre, would be a real drag to get through.

I feel like Gunstar Heroes is pretty long but just my memory of it at this point. I think that or Metal Slug make a lot of sense.

Yeah, I love that game actually but it's too long.

Props for mentioning this, fun overlooked game, but it's also quite long.

....

Looking at the length issues, I think arcade type co-op games vs home console focused ones usually make more sense. I know they have sounded very anti any competitive games after Soul Calibur but that's too bad since that one was so fun to watch.

If I was a subscriber, I'd like to see a spinoff of this series where Alex tries to get an "S" ranking on missions 40 and 48 of Fire Pro Wrestling World.

@shinofkod: hell yeah, Gunstar Heroes would be awesome. My cousin and I used to play it every chance we got and were blown away by all the mode 7.

The levels were fun and varied and the weapon possibilities were so much fun

I'd kind of love to see Vinny and Dan try and get through Mom in Binding of Isaac co-op.

I'd like to suggest they play Life Force on NES. It's a 25 minute game if you clear it in one run without using any of the limited continues.

Well, they got that Pocky & Rocky copy in the mail, so now I’m just counting down days until TITR returns. I’d guess after E3 and maybe Mass Alex.

I want to see Battletoads. I feel like that's the most in line with the original idea for the series.

I think it would be fun to do a co op shoot em up like Lifeforce. Those games are super hard and think it would be fun watching those guys try to figure a game like that out.
