@GoshJosh “This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause”

Glad to see they're prioritising the Switch version, but in all honesty, what happened to releasing a game when it's actually finished? I see it as a very bad trend that games are released early, only to receive tons of patches after the fact to "fix" them. I wonder if most companies don't see that it affects their reputation in a bad way and people will just hold off buying their products until they're working properly. I guess it's just a sign of the time.

I was hoping for the update notes to include a new developer, but alas...

@Pillowpants Blushes

@SteveDaSteve Thank you for explaining what this Garry's Mod is. Nintendo Life really should've put a similar explanation in the actual article, it's not like everyone knows about these things.

@Diogmites Let me quote Jake the Dog from Adventure Time for you: "Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something."

And here we go again. It's the curse of the Switch's final years releases, that is becoming more and more evident with each month. Bad releases, or old, outdated hardware? I believe it's a bit of both, but this is becoming a mainstay.

All the Aspyr titles suck. Have you tried to play Jedi Outcast 2 for example? It was great on PC, on Switch the controls are awful. You cannot aim properly and it's missing multiplayer. Then comes Jedi Knights, and they didn't even bother to sell what they advertised. Now comes the dud that was BF remake. You know they exist to take old IPs and churn out shovelware for a quick buck?

I thought Capcom had issues at first - your headline is not easy to say

@PinderSchloss Not every pro or con is equal. Something can easily have a lot good going for it but be completely wrecked by one thing that's bad enough.

I find it hard to believe Nintendo would suddenly care to have Garry's Mod content taken down now. Has to be some copyright troll.

@PosterBoy TMNT: Splintered Fate

Can anyone tell if patches can save this? I mean, it's still the same game engine, the switch, and lots of enemies on the screen.

@Joeynator3000 I think the money part probably comes from the fact Nintendo's models are being used a lot in for profit YouTube videos.

If GMod removes them it does stem the tide of infringement at the Source (engine lol) than chasing after individual creators.

@GrailUK Garry's Mod is a mod for Half Life 2 that opens up the game as a physics sandbox with many tools to spawn in creatures and props from the original game, as well as do physics shenanigans like attach rocket boosters and ropes to things. The workshop is a popular way for users to provide content that you can load into the game, like character models you can apply to yourself, maps, props, weapons, vehicles, and NPCs. Some people create and upload mods that contain content from other franchises, like Nintendo's, and the rest is history.

@Diogmites Which upcoming roguelike?

@nocdaes I could counter most of these with FFVI examples (maybe not setting, but most others), but I am seriously lazy.

Terra's theme for soundtrack though. You cannot beat it.

As it turns out, it's not the real Nintendo who asked for this.

@GrailUK Yep

Ah Extreme G. If memory serves, one of the vehicles you can play as is a literal N64 controller. That alone makes it worth playing, seeing as I've already paid for the service anyway.

Are we meant to know what Gary's Mod is?

Something I'd actually really like to see added would be a new game plus mode. A lot of the more gimmicky and weird badges are only gotten very late in the game, it'd be fun to be able to transfer them over to a new run to see how much that can mix up repeat playthroughs. Certainly would make some stuff that's functionally useless due to when you get it like Return Postage a lot more viable.

Also the wheel for selecting party members is kind of an interesting decision. Doubt it'll really be functionally different from the menu that was there before but still.

I feel slightly ashamed that I forgot that Doopliss was in this game until watching this.

I forgot extreme G ever existed tbh I don’t even know how I’ve played it.

I think I will consider PS4 version since I know PS4 power is better than Switch and I know the PS4 version will be 60 fps.
But, is there any official cover of Monster Hunter Stories PS4 version?
Also, will this game get the download code for the second game even on PS4 version?
I want both games in physical release and separated title.

@PinderSchloss Every business has horrible parts. That's just how things work in the world.

Nintendo is a company, not a person. A company whose job it is to sell you a product. Not be your BFF. We live in a world where everything is driven by profit. Not charity.

@Arkay Is anyone still denying how horrible they (the business side) are, apart from this story?

Nintendo does not know the meaning of ‘community’, which is one of gaming’s greatest achievements. So what they did or didn’t do in this case is irrelevant.

That’s a long list of pros and a short list of cons for such a low score 🤷‍♂️

I might try to track down a physical 3DS copy for this. Been feeling nostalgic for 3DS lately with the online closing. I've been playing more MH4U, along with trying to get StreetPasses at my collage (Ive got 3 within 2 weeks! Wish I had bought the old Mii Plaza games...).

I’d like a standalone physical copy of the first game as my goodie

@AshFoxX I can't play much with the joycons.

Time for another leisurely browse through the comments section to see complaints on how this is totally the Switch's fault for being an aging device and definitely not the developers' lack of pre-release optimization despite knowing full well the capabilities of the hardware they'll be releasing their game in.

a music player and concept art is the minimum i could hope for from a remake lol, but the latter is surprising. it really feels like theyre want to respect the legacy of this game in a way theyve ignored for so long

i can only hope this game sells well enough this late into the switches life, its a beast of a title

Nintendo's once again the bad guy here until the shoe is on the other foot and your own likeness is used in something sketchy for the sake of entertainment.

I can't wait! Finally a proper Paper Mario game again.. even if it is a remake/remaster. This had better sell well, or else the spin-off franchise truly is dead.

...So when do they actually fix the controls then? The "sticky reticule" from the original games doesn't work at all and "auto aim" is just embarrassingly sticky. With the crappy joycon sticks I need slight help, but not so much auto aim that I have to hold the right stick for three whole seconds before I can look away from an enemy.

@TtimeXP @Fangleman32

I don't want to overhype it, but you guys are in for such a treat. Honestly, I don't think I can overhype it. Even if you go in with the highest of expectations, I think the majority of players will still be blown away. This is the special kind of game that makes you wish you could wipe your memory and experience it fresh all over again, so I'm envious of you. It's just a masterpiece with so many twists and turns throughout the narrative you'll never see coming.

It's the most well-written Nintendo game there is, with a deep plot that can go toe-to-toe with any other franchise. Tons of memorable characters with rich personalities and fun designs. The humor is top-notch, and there are moments where you're very likely to cry. There are plot twists that will make you audibly gasp. Tons of lore and funny new quips you can get from revisiting old NPC's after each chapter. It's worth talking to everyone multiple times; there's dialogue options I haven't even seen across my several playthroughs due to just how much text there is.

The battle mechanics are also incredibly fun and engaging, and I say that as someone who finds that turn-based RPG's don't always click with me. There's just... so much to love about this game. It's so rich in content and personality and... it's just perfection, man. I don't know what more I can say. Like I said, I'm not even concerned about over-hyping the experience for you guys because I'm so confident you'll walk away amazed.

Would I take a bullet for this game? Well, I don't want to be dramatic, but at this point in my life, I don't have like a wife or kids who are dependent on me or anything, so... I don't see why not. 😛

@judaspete I'm not super optimistic about a collection happening, but that would be awesome, especially since 3 and 4 were on the Gamecube. I had 3 for my Gamecube back in the day, but I have never played Extreme-G Racing Association. The one entry in the series that has always eluded me.

@LikelySatan One of the risks you take on with letting things slide is bad actors who will unfortunately take advantage and see how far they push things until it's ruined for everybody.

Im so excited! Ive missed all the ganecube and wii era and this game has been on my radar but never had the chance... now I do 😊. So excited, even replayed Paper Mario 64 to prepare for this game

Best game of all time. I've been really contemplating getting it both physically and digitally, which is something I've NEVER done before--just because I want this game to be a financial success and send a message to Nintendo that more of this is what we want.

Kinda feels like Tales of Symphonia. I was looking forward to it on Switch, but it was unplayable at release and I haven't heard a lot of people talking about it anymore if it actually did get fixed. Disappointing, but my backlog is big enough without a broken afterimage of Suikoden.

Blaming the hardware might be more plausible if it didnt look like a game that could have come out more than ten years ago.

They're within legal rights as far as I know, still, not wise. It's like taking down tournaments and free fan games. Another thing that's only good for Nintendo. They need to let things slide every now and then.

Honestly, concept art and a jukebox are probably all the game needs to be worth it. Good thing too, since it doesn't look like we're getting much else.

@GooseLoose1 Are you saying Gmod is already in a gray area because of the fact that it itself is a mod or because of the workshop?

I never played the original growing up as I didn't own a Gamecube. I'll give it a go.

@PikaPhantom Well, I mean I see nothing wrong either way. Alot of models in Gmod aren't original creations. They are ripped models from other games.

Gmod is already in a gray area as is. You are taking licensed property and using it without consent from the owner.

Fyi, do NOT support this game. Several sexy stormtrooper images were taken from this release by the pearl clutching deep state communists at Aspyr. Receipts:

I have this and the sequel Deliver us Mars. I loved this game, but the sequel... Not so much. I'd recommend Deliver us the Moon, but be content to stop there.

@Fangleman32 no worries, I thought as much.

Not a fan of the game, gotcha 👌
