What video game do you think you could beat if you found yourself inside of it in place of the main character?

Assume you were sucked inside of a video game.

Could you defeat Bowser in one on one combat in Super Mario 64? Would the living hot dogs of Burgertime get the better of you? Could you cross the busy streets of Frogger?

nintendogs

Is Nintendogs a game that you can "win" at?

I feel like the very act of playing it might be a "win" in an existential sort of sense.

 

[Fraxinus]

no clue. i'd probably lose at nintendogs though because i actually dont enjoy the company of dogs very much

 

[Princess Niki]

Any Pokemon game.

That's okay, not everyone likes dogs.

Any Pokemon game.

Pokemon would definitely be my first choice of video game worlds to live in, so that makes sense. The pokemon games also never really put you in any "real" danger.

It might take a while, but eventually it'd be possible to become the top trainer.

 

[~Kilza~]

The Sims. Some of the console games have win conditions, so hey, seems easy enough. Just like real life, except with, uh, more success.

Stardew Valley

Myst or Riven - I know those games like the backs of my hands

Any Pokemon game.

I agree. You’d be pretty safe, and you’d become the champion over some time, but it wouldn’t be too difficult.

I would choose Animal Crossing, if you consider beating it getting everything, like they do for speedruns now. It would be pretty relaxing, and I might spend about a year in there.

 

[Dizzi]

Yup i think animal crossing would be easy...

Earning 500K bells to pay off your debts is easy? I guess you have to tell us your secret, we'd all love to know.

My answer would be Sim City.
I'm no expert but I know a lot about town planing and local council issues. A lot more than the previouslocal council in my area that were sacked for incompetence.

 

[LegendOfMeesh]

probably pokémon, as others have said.

 

[Spiritual Mask Salesman]

If I had all the benefits the characters had, like uncannily good marksmenship and I could like dodge attack all fancy like without breaking a sweat, I'd take the plunge and choose a game I'd like to experience for myself regardless of the dangers.

Then it'd be a matter of what game do I excel at, and that's easy, Ocarina of Time! I'd become The Hero of Time, but I'd flip the script and refuse Zelda's offer to get sent back in time at the end.

 

[ExLight]

any game with a time rewinding mechanic because those are busted
