They will never take down my Picachu in UT2K4 fighting Sailor Moon, Bender and Eva01 with his Rocket Launcher.
Same for Quake 3.

Old Games are gold Games

What a GEM! I buy it, Day One!!! Hope for an Remake Crusaders of Dark Savant! I love this One!!!!

For those who are once again hating Nintendo for this, it is their right to protect their intellectual property and prevent it from being used by others. I also can't build a website and publish pictures others made, on my site.

I am shocked by the way some people think. Really shocked. Just because people say it's a "fan project" does not mean they can use stuff they don't own. And because Nintendo is a big company, people think they can steal from them because they don't make money with it.

@Sparrowhawk you know how expensive diving is? I often spend 50$ for 30 mins of fishy looking.... so i'm saving money here....

but jokes aside, i recently started playing EO2 now that i modded my wiiU (played Eo1 back in '09) just before this was announced and have clocked around 133 hours now...

@RubyCarbuncle No, the NDF is not out in full force. It's just how things are. Some people in the community think they are entitled to do what they please with licensed property.

Surprise, they aren't. You don't have to agree with it, but it's Nintendo's right to remove stuff that belongs to them. If you don't like that fact, create something that is originally yours.

NDF applies when Big N is actually doing something anti-consumer. This nothing more than a company claiming rights to their own property from people who using it without consent.

If you want to use the models, then ask Nintendo. Oh that's right, you won't. You won't because you know the answer will be a big "No".

@Not_Soos Loved your comment. Yes, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is all that and more. Plus... If Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door doesn't sell well... We might get... Shudders... Paper Mario: Sticker Star HD...

Nintendo was not behind this.

@rainbowtick Cool post, bro.

If we’re talking about ‘trash’ developers or publishers I think we should take a quick glance at the eshop and those titles that release and rerelease at 90% discounts week in week out.

The game in question here is a passion project made with comparatively tiny resources and a handful of people. It’s also been made with technical limitations of both Switch and the software it was developed on. Can’t believe that people have pitted it against Overwatch in here.

@Anti-Matter "I want both games in physical release and separated title."

Unfortunately, it looks like both games will have digital only releases for PS4 for now.

This looks good, I never played the original but looks similar to Dungeon Master and Grimrock.

@Quiet2down Charizard would be a kickass name for any kid. I'm gonna start warming my kids up to the idea for one of my grandkids.

I'm not a big fan of random encounters so probably a pass for me...

@MorganaBus Don't worry your lovely head...

Do you see that one in the middle?

Think I'll stick to my Amiibos; they're expensive enough as it is 😂

@sikthvash Mario and Luigi are real names that predate the videogames characters. Nintendo couldn't do a thing about anyone naming their kids Mario or Luigi.

Charizard however is an original name, and while I doubt Nintendo would go after parents over it, unless they're profiting off the name; said child should immediately removed from your care as clearly you don't care enough about the child's well being to give them such a ridiculous name to begin with.

If only I could convert my bells into £££s I'd be laughing.

Yep, I'm also old enough to remember this series, along with Ultima, Bard's Tale and Might and Magic.

Hopefully it has text size options, because some of it looks too small, especially for handheld.

I feel like Nintendo should really start putting together the localized version of these overviews online live concurrently. I want to know what they're saying when explaining the features of the game, so I invariably wait and sometimes I miss the updated articles or videos that go around social media.

Anyway, this game is a must for me. Very excited for it and to eventually watch the overview, in English.

@MorganaBus If you want to listen to free music uploaded on youtube, sure go for it. When Nintendo decides to strike it down, so be it. You aren't entitled to complain about it's removal because it shouldn't have been uploaded in the first place without permission.

Wonder when they will stop new born babies being called Mario, Luigi or Charizard

Looks interesting! Also first!

Edit: @bones First sniped lol. 🤪

I remember the old one yes I'm that old.

Great!!! This is one of the best games ever.

IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! Honestly I don't see why someone wouldn't get this game, it is one of the best of all time! These graphics are insanely good and insanely smooth. Great job Nintendo for doing this masterpiece justice!

The new content looks great. I would've taken the original by itself, anything else is just icing on the cake.

There's a new GameCube badge seen in footage, my guess is that it'll change the OST to the original!

@PinderSchloss While I agree that a focus on software would be great, I think Nintendo is too large an innovator to not keep making consoles. Thanks to them millions of people were introduced to gaming, thanks to the Wii and their handhelds.

And while I happily admit that their hardware is always outdated when they release it compared to PC and PlayStation (of which the latter is also already somewhat outdated when it releases), I think Nintendo does offer gaming for the masses at more affordable prices than Sony and Microsoft do. And that means sacrificing sheer (graphical) power.

On the other hand, it is often said that restriction forces people to become more creative and I see more games on Switch that are a result of working wonders with the restrictions than any other platform. So, while it would be awesome to see Tears of the Kingdom on PS5, I know it is extremely unlikely to happen. Especially given the enormous success of the Switch. But let's hope for a more powerful handheld/console hybrid as the successor to the Switch!

@Synecdoche main reason I decided to import the stand alone japanese copy of it for the Switch.

Because it has english on it anyhow.

@gcunit I hope you don't listen to Nintendo music on YouTube.

I sure do hope if you want to listen to the 3D World Soundtrack, that you buy it from 3rd party sellers on eBay for $60-100! And I sure do hope that you don't dare think of listening to game music that never officially got released.

If you ever wanted to listen to the Double Dash, Pikmin, or New Super Mario Bros soundtrack, I sure hope you didn't look it for for free!.

@Serpenterror Nah I had onev ery early on, I just happen to remember what the game looked like in black & white from magazines. I already had a GBC when Survival Kids came out so never actually played it in monochrome myself.

That Iggy game is such a curveball. I’m not sure I was even aware of it the first time around.

@Not_Soos For those who have not played, you should listen to this dude. This game set a new benchmark - it's hilarious, heartfelt, has absolutely insane amounts of ingenuity & fun twists. Hands down, best Mario game ever & definitely in my top games of all time.

As a post-Soviet kid, I came across a fair share of crazy romhacks. Super Contra resprited into "Darkwing Duck 2" and Heavy Barrel into "Chip 'n' Dale 3", Jungle Book's Mowgli made furry which apparently sufficed to slap "Lion King" on... not to mention a whole separate "Lion King 6" (numbers may vary) I had back in the day, its game over screens alone having to be seen to be believed (every time a fan bellyaches about an underwhelming reboot "ruining" their childhood, I recall my childhood surviving THIS😏)... Then there was stuff I only read about, like the proverbial Somari which could probably give a BSoD to many a Console Wars combatant in the west. What I did once get at least a glimpse of at a local game shop, however, was "Super Mario 16" which turned out to be a resprited Joe & Mac (the NES version, despite what the number might have you assume). If someone had namedropped me a "Super Mario 64" back in the day, chances are I would have dismissed it as something similar!😂

This "Final Fantasy VII", on the other hand, missed Belarusian bootleg shelves just like the original FFI and pretty much any other RPG/actventure of the day did (with the exception of Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy I was lucky to have but, at the time, not remotely competent enough to beat). It was not until the emulation years that I discovered it and other Asian "demakes" like Chrono Trigger.

I am waiting to know what they actually changed before buying.

@-wc- I know, I know - I'm just doing the usual FF wind up.! I adore both 6 and 7 (and 9 and 10!).

Although, it is interesting how FF7 dominates in the remake/spin off department. I often wonder why 6 hasn't been revisited in any way. Maybe it just was perfect?!

@Shepdawg1 Quite the turnaround in your post there, chief 😄

If you want Nintendo stuff, pay for Nintendo stuff. If you want to paddy-out over not being able to have Nintendo stuff without paying for it, good luck with your life.

why do Sega have to make everything so difficult?
just port the first 2 games as they were, with their original physics.

I would certainly hope it's not Nintendo, even though they say it is. As it is, Garry's Mod has had Nintendo-related content in its Steam Workshop for years. My avatar in the game is Krystal from Star Fox (my favorite video game character of all time). I would be absolutely devastated if that was taken down.

My question is, if Nintendo is truly behind this, what took them so long to finally crack down on this? They had ample opportunity to do it years ago, but it is only just now that they are taking action against it. It just doesn't add up, if you ask me.

@Pillowpants The Switch was old when it released. It could never hope to keep up.

Imagine a world where Nintendo quits making gimmick consoles, focuses on software and releases Tears of the Kingdom on PS5 🤩

Trailer at 30fps.

I know it doesn't bother many but this game with 2d sprites against 3d background would look fantastic at 60fps and the fact that the original was a 60fps game makes this immensely disappointing.

Hoping it was just uploaded at the wrong framerate but doubtful.

@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
