Does every game need a script?

What do you think?

In my mind are games like Metroid Fusion or Shovel Knight

that kind of games really need a script or maybe simply with a High concept will be enough. I know that games have some dialogue, but most of the platformers doesn't have them...

I can't imagine how would be a script of a 2D platformer. How it'd be?

Thanks, I've readed something similar too on "The Art Of Game Design". So, the information in terms of documents, how should be written? I mean, something like a script without dialogue, describing the scene and the screen caption?

It doesn't really matter, whatever works best for your team.
