Yeah! You Want "Those Games," Right? So Here You Go! Now, Let's See You Clear Them! (どこかで見た“あのゲー”ムたちを棒人間で作ってみたけれど、果たしてあなたはクリアできるのか？) (stylized in all caps), commonly referred to as Those Games (あのゲー), is a parody puzzle video game developed by Monkeycraft Co. Ltd., and published by D3 Publisher. It was released on July 19, 2023, for Microsoft Windows and the Nintendo Switch console. On January 11, 2024, the game was released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 console. A sequel, 'Yeah! You Want "Those Games," Right? So Here You Go! Now, Let's See You Clear Them! 2 or Those Games 2', was released on July 17, 2024 for the same platforms.

The series is a parody of mobile game advertisements that often depict "fake" minigames that are usually not representative of the actual game once downloaded. Those Games compiles the minigames typically seen in such advertisements and brings them to fruition in fully-realized levels. All of the game modes utilize stick figures to depict various characters.

Development
The game is developed by Osaka-based studio Monkeycraft, who are known for previously having developed Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, as well as leading the Reroll remasters of both Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari. The game took eight months to develop, and was worked on by a group of 15-20 people.

Gameplay
Those Games and Those Games 2 each consist of 250 levels across five different game modes, each based on various minigames depicted in mobile game advertisements. After each level, the player is ranked on a three-star ranking system based on time taken to complete the level, which go towards increasing the players IQ rating and unlocking further levels. Achievements are earned based on completing all levels in a game-set, and by getting three stars on each level. Coins earned from the game allows players to unlock titles and plates for their customizeable nameplate, used for online leaderboards.
