First two movies were a blast and I've no doubt this will be too.

I probably won't buy it right away, but I'm interested and will wait for reviews. I never played the original game.

@AllieKitsune If this wasn't set in the middle ages then I wouldn't mind being called that. That's the problem.

I’m still holding out hope for a physical release with English on the cartridge.

@Captain_Toad Yup, I like the "flowery language" in unicorn overlord since it make the setting looks like old time medieval country, but adding something 2024 like chud or whatever in this game medieval setting is super cringe 😕

And I heard the translation ignored gendered language too, wtf is wrong with usa translator people.

@Bratwurst35 Yikes. I'm not saying there are bad opinions out there, but that... yours comes awfully close lmfao

Already got it on Steam during a sale, would be skipping this version entirely that is unless a physical version exist which would be the only reason to get it on Switch.

@vio I was going to say that this must mean someone owns the eXtreme G licence. Throwback entertainment. So, remastered collection when?

Why did I just imagine a giant moon crushing a tiny Nintendo switch

So happi a was afraid they wont release those but still have not finished totk so do t want to spoil anything

I adored the first game - it was very special for me. When the new game was announced in that Direct I gasped! Since then, though, I haven't been that impressed with what I've seen? Sorry to be a bit shallow (lol) but the graphics seem like a real let down. All the videos are full of murk, which may be realistic, but I would like to have seen more crystal clear waters. It doesn't seem to have progressed much since last time.

If it was £20 cheaper I'd be considering it more, but at the moment it's not a high priority.

Played this on Game Pass a few years ago and really enjoyed it. One of those games that I went into knowing absolutely nothing about and was pleasantly surprised. Not sure if I'll pick it up to play again on Switch though unless it gets a heavy discount.

@Polvasti Yeah, the only design I didn't like of the 6, mainly because of that reason.

The motif of a cowgirl cop could have gotten amazing designs.

I wanted to play this so picked it up on PS4 after the Switch cancellation. Was interesting and had atmosphere (despite the actual moon lacking in that department), but I never did get around to completing the game.

@Baker1000

I don't know if you're deliberately being obtuse, or if you're merely ignorant, but the issues are well documented and go beyond the battle system (which in any case is worse than battle systems in other non-RPG Paper Mario games).

Origmai King lacks the traditional Paper Mario elements but is a decent game.
Sticker Star isn't:

-Very little story, even for a Paper Mario game.
-Tired and overused world themes (grass, desert, etc.)
-An extreme amount of backtracking.
-No Bowser dialogue.
-Too linear, and yet at the same time how to progress is often obscure, opaque, and lacking direction. Worst of both worlds.
-Slow pace.
-Very small, largely empty, hub town.
-Rewards for collecting all the stickers are meagre.
-Lack of sidequests.
-Stickers gameplay is deeply flawed. The ordinary stickers have little to no value. The feedback loop of getting coins to buy stickers to win battles in order to get coins... is not satisfying and does not encourage you to take part in battles.
-Lack of XP/levelling up isn't necessarily a problem in of itself, but they didn't replace it with anything else that gives the player a sense of progress.
-Key stickers are easy to miss, and quite easy to not have space for if you do find them.
-You don't know how big a sticker will be, and therefore how much space you need to free up, until you get the sticker.
-Little to no indication what key sticker is needed for a boss until you get to the boss.

A lot of this goes beyond taste; it is poor game design.

Moon puns apollo… ehm, aplenty!

@Polvasti She is on the clock when her story starts. Is she undercover? Where does she keep her service weapon? Is the stetson made of kevlar? These things are never explained.

I played the heck out of Extreme G. I might have to play it again even though I’m pretty sure I have it in my attic somewhere.

I would love to see these on NSO.

@TotalHenshin SaGa Scarlet Grace has one of the best combat system I've ever played in a JRPG, if not the best one. If Emerald Beyond uses the same system, yes, it's really an excellent combat system.

I come for the comments, but I sta for the bility.

So Bonnie is supposed to be a cop chasing a criminal, yet judging by the screenshots she's dressed more like she's about enter a bikini fitness contest. Is there some in-story explanation for her attire, or is it just your typical JRPG fanservice?

Nintendo must be the only company where it makes me groan when they release a so-called 'update' 🙄

"General system stability improvements"
You'd think after years of mockery from the fanbase, they'd at least stop using phrases with the word "stability" — if only for optics reasons. Because it paints the company in a negative light if all their updates revolve around "stability" and usually nothing else.

Nintendo is so out-of-touch.

@norwichred I never knew that either. Could be that i missed all this because I never owned a N64 and always played on the system of a friend (lylat wars, mario, zelda, mario party, mario kart, golden eye, all other rare games….)

Aaawwe…. Got a kick of nostalgia…. Good times 😊

@AlienigenX I’d recommend not using a voucher for this game. This game’s price is 50$ (or region equivalent) normally, so you wouldn’t be saving money with the vouchers for this one. If you got a 60$ game with it you’d be saving more money, but that’s just my suggestion, you can use your voucher for whatever you want 👍

I really wanted Japanese audio. That really sucks, that was the one thing I was scared of.

Other than that it seems amazing, really eager to learn the ins and outs of the combat.

@Friendly then you can’t have been paying attention. Extreme G was so auccesssful it had 3 sequels, 2 on the N64 and 1 on the GameCube. Fantastic game.

The situation with this one is pretty sad. I was really looking forward to it for several years now. I think, if they’re smart, they should delay the physical release on switch so they can include some of these patches on the cart. Limited Run did this for the physical copy of Panzer Dragoon, and it was definitely the right decision in that case. I would happily wait a while longer if they did that.

Uhh.. pretty much all those games were the low-budget bargain basement type games 🤔 Hardly anyone is begging for these.

I rented one or two of these, but that was it. Back then the 'best' games were always $30 USD, while the low-budget and initial launch title games were $20 or even $10. These games are all the cheaper ones that I would skip over when looking for my next game at the store.

Balloon Kid was $20. So was Bubble Ghost, IIRC. I looked every where for Revenge of the Gator, but never saw a real copy. I suspect it had a really short run.

That’s a shame about no JP audio for those getting this, but I feel like few things sell me on a JRPG better than “excellent combat.” Looking forward to importing this.

@Uncle_Franklin

that's interesting, I've never had "region free" on my do or die list personally. OTOH we are in different regions, so there's that... and to each their own, of course. ✌️

i was skeptical of N64, but then I played Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 (and then eventually fzero x and ocarina came out, and that console became an all time classic on the strength of those four games alone.)

I was even more skeptical of Gamecube, and I even resisted the insane allure of Melee (seriously, that game looked insane to me when it came out,) but then fzero gx and Ikaruga if all games made me crack and get one. (of course, in those days if you waited a couple years you could buy a console for something like 99 USD 😆)

I confess that I was plain old giddy for the concept of wii, and got in line at midnight launch with the real heads (aka nerds.) I still hold that if wii U were simply called "Wii 2" and marketed itself as "Nintendo in HD!" things wouldve gone differently, but I had alot of fun with mine while it lasted (and I prefer scrappy, underdog Nintendo to lazy dominant Nintendo, 100%)

anyway. Iggy's wrecking balls! I played it on OG hardware about a month ago with 3 friends and we had a great time ☺️ extreme g as well, strangely.

@Captain_Toad Sounds like somebody doesn't like that the localizers called a Chud a Chud.

I mean, it is Shadow's debut game, of course they will take a lot from this game.

For those who weren't there, Iggy's is from the same studio as Turok. IGN thought they were joking when they told them this was their next game. So glad to see weird anomalies like this (and, finally, third party games besides Winback) on NSO

@-wc-

after Wii U abd 3DS I decided not to get the next console unless it was region free.
they seem to know what the absolute limit is for their customer base and just about avoid the edge.

@AlienigenX I definitely have to agree with you about it being being a perfect game to have digitally. It would honestly be pretty tedious having to put the cartridge in your Switch just to participate in the limited-time event dives.

@nessisonett Cheers!

@LoroTalby My first time playing VR was close, but I agree, any of us that grew up with 8 and 16 bit consoles and transitioned to what at that time felt like massive 3D worlds in Mario 64 was just a mind blowing experience that will probably never be able to be topped. I’ll never forget that sense of joy and wonder 11 year old me had first booting the game up and just running around Bob-om Battlefield for the first time

These are both fantastic games. Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls is especially fun in multiplayer mode. We rented it from Blockbuster and just never brought it back.

Such an awesome game. I played this for way too many hours as a kid.
I hope they put this on NSO sometime soon!

It's no Perfect Dark or Conker but two good additions nonetheless.
Wonder why they bother with extreme G though. They should have gone with the sequel directly as it's the better game.

I'm happy that they are adding more games like these that are not as well-known now but still good and people at the time loved them. As some have said Extreme G was a pretty popular series that spawned several sequels. Come on now add Hybrid Heaven! Goemon! Ridge Racer!

@Uncle_Franklin

"For me it adds to the reasons why I'll not be getting the next Nintendo console."

I've been saying this since N64, (seriously,) and they always pull me in by the time the console is out and I see what's goin on. 😂

I'm not interested for now but some positive reviews, knowing that the campaign isn't an afterthought, and the game having a stable framerate may sway me to get it on or shortly after its release day.

That's a $95 dollar T-shirt that a kid wouldn't fit for more than 4 months. Why?

I think in redeeming a voucher for this one, since it seems like the perfect game to have on digital

@electrolite77 Spacestation Silicon Valley & Mystical Ninja Staring Goemon would be fantastic. We can dream I guess...
