The Games Done Quick marathons are a bi-annual treat for many speedrunning fans. Although the next event, Summer Games Done Quick, is not until the 3rd-10th of July, the schedule has been posted to give viewers a look of what's in store.
Summer Games Done Quick will be broadcasting from Minneapolis, Minnesota this year, and freely viewable via Twitch. Money raised through the event will go to longtime charity partner Doctors Without Borders (Médicins Sans Frontiéres), which sends volunteer medical professionals to areas in crisis.
Tonnes of gaming is on deck through the week-long marathon, so we've picked out many of the games being played on Nintendo systems for the list below. Times below are estimated starts and in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Definitely take a look at the full schedule on the GDQ website, though. Not only will you get the whole list of games, but times should adjust to your particular zone as well. It'd also be wise to check the schedule again closer to the marathon in case anything has shifted.

I was confused at "tonnes", then I remembered I'm in America...
I can't wait to see Pokemon Red and A Link Between Worlds! Some of my favorite handheld games ever.
I wonder if that opening game has anything to do with them wanting either a HD remake or a sequel. I'm down for either.
That's a great lineup, I may actually get around to watching some this year. I interviewed a guy who does speedrunning last week, and I'm starting to become quite a fan of it myself.
@whitemaskedhero haha, me too
Will prob watch the new games that came out recently but I don't think I will watch the rest except maybe some runs to support friends.
@Rafx @whitemaskedhero They make me write this way. >.<
Opening with the best game! But seriously, I just played through that entire game recently so I'll be glad to see it done real fast.
Whoa! All the Castlevania and Mega Man! Looks like a swell time. I'm really interested in the Dracula X one. That's actually one of my favorite Classicvania games.
That's a lot of games!
I wonder if Mrs Cosmo will be attending.
This lineup looks extremely interesting .... I really have to skip my university courses for this ^^"
I hope UltraJMan makes an appearance.
Lots of Nintendo games w00t.
What an ending, TAS bot, Pokemon Red, FF VI, Super Metroid, and Super Mario RPG.
So many great games on that list!
I'm most excited to see FAST Racing Neo. Hopefully I can learn some tips because that game is seriously hardcore!
It's almost ALL nintendo stuff! SMS HYPE
@MasterWario Not fast. Quick, like a bear.
