What is Game of the Month Club Replay?

Game of the Month Replay is a community project based upon the Game of the Month Club. Much like the GOTM Club, it's open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a bonus chosen game every month. The three games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck).

The only catch is, it must be a game that the GOTM Club has already played, so it's an opportunity to replay games you may have missed out on the first time or just want to try again.

The Basics

- Each month will usually feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each of the games you beat you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's game is usually on the 25th
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules

- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You receive additional nominations each month for beating one of the featured games
- Each game you nominate has to be one that was already nominated for the GOTM Club.
- You can nominate games that have already been selected for the Replay Topic, but not the same game twice in a row.
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a featured game after the drawing for next month's game but before the end of the month
- You have 9 supports you can use throughout the year. Your only limitations are that you can't support your own nomination, and you can only use one support per game per month

Thanks to KCF0107 for giving permission for the GOTM Club Replay topic to exist. Most of the rules of the Replay Topic are the same as the GOTM club.

Bonus Nominations this month: Cody11533

I'm already up to Capital Casino in Yooka. It was only three years ago that I beat this for the first time, and I guess I forgot how much I dislike swimming in this game, which is second only to how much I dislike the minecart segments. Everything else is still great though!

Going for Saga Frontier. I'm going to dust off my old PSX version... and read the manual while I play Remastered on PS4

Nominate Inside and Metroid Fusion

Tis the season for spooky soon.

KCF has beaten Yooka-Laylee

I forgot how long that final boss was. I had to find health and power extensions and change up my tonic.

I will nominate Severed and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

I have played a bit of Stick it to the Man.

Didn't quite realize it's very much an adventure game, with some mild 2D platforming elements. Has a pretty strong Double Fine vibe running through it.

It's a lot of fun imo

I did buy Stick It on PC after first beating it on Switch, so I could replay it if I want, but I'm going to focus on finishing some games that I have started over the years.

Stick it to the Man BEATED!

A solid 3 out of 5 game for me. Fine enough but will not stick with me long term.

Beat Saga Frontier. Got at least one playthrough with each character. Probably going to do more on Fuse, but counting it for now.

Nom Kirby Super Star, A Short Hike.

I will support A Short Hike

Beaten:
Saga Frontier - Mauron
Stick it to the Man! - Seanchan
Yooka-Laylee - KCF

Nominations:

A Short Hike - Mauron, (support) KCF0107
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 - FakeAccount3000
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - KCF0107
Inside - Cody11533
Kirby Super Star - Mauron
Metroid Fusion - Cody11533
Severed - KCF0107

A Short Hike, Inside and Metroid Fusion are the games for October! Congrats to Mauron, Cody11533, and KCF0107 for getting games they nominated or supported chosen!

Ready to replay A Short Hike for the fourth time!

Being short and charming does make it good for replays, doesn't it? I might play it again myself.

All good games next month! Gonna prioritize Inside as it is the only one I've never played before, then go from there.

I'll play A Short Hike and Inside!
