VG Music Game

Go To

The rules are pretty simple— I'm thinking of a song. It's from a video game. Guess what song it is. You can ask yes/no questions for hints.note  Whoever guesses the song first will take control of the game and choose their own song. To this point, we've accumulated over 1000 songs among 15 years and 50000 posts— thanks to everyone who's played so far!

Tips for future reference, if it's your turn:
- Make sure to keep track of hints you've given! Also, if an answer is kinda fuzzy, you can elaborate a little bit.
- Try not to repeat a game. Same game/series is acceptable, but there's a lot of music still untouched. Same game and song is right out. Be sure to check this list thoroughly!

Shall we begin?

[up][up][up] No

[up][up] It's somewhat unusual compared to other games of the genre but I wouldn't say genre busting exactly

[up] No, not from what I could find, and it most likely wouldn't be the best game for a speedrun

  • is not by Nintendo or Rare
  • was first released in 2018
  • is released on PC and current-gen consoles, including the Switch and PS4

    • Mix of two genres, more or less
    • Can be considered a type of action game (though not what everyone might associate with the term?)
    • has rhythm game elements
    • does not have card collecting/deck building elements
  • not Shovel Knight or Crypt of the Necrodancer
  • was not shown during 2019's E3

No

(also to clarify/specify a thing that might have thrown some people off - there's a better way/genre to classify it as than "action game")
