@BradlyOverrated LRG deserves all the hate they get.

That's very sad. Seriously, FK cancer. 😢

@larryisaman That'd be friggin awesome, and I'm not even really a fan of fighting games. 😂

@KingMike

That reminds me of how Super Noah's Ark 3D is just a reskin of SNES Wolfy 3D. If I had to guess, Wolfy 3D is probbaly worse than the Doom port? Oh dear...

@RPGreg2600 Ah alright thanks, I wasn't aware.

@RPGreg2600 I just looked up who the programmer of Doom 3DO was, and that was the name I found. That's where my knowledge of this subject ends.

@sword_9mm Considering Rebecca Heineman was only given 10 weeks to port the entire game by herself, the result is remarkable, albiet still awful to play, sadly. 😅 At least the 3DO version had good music. 🎶

I have the SNES version of Doom, and it really isn't that good. Ehhhh, this seems cool but ugh, fk LRG. 😣

I always had a feeling that Chewy guy was a POS. Lookie Lookie who's now being outed with insider trading reports... Scumbag. 😡

@marvelis Yes, there was a North American/NTSC release at least 2 years ago. I was confused too.

@LadyCharlie

1. Lol, no. If Nintendo for example announces the release date of "Game X" as "February 21st", that usually means both digital and physical will be available the same day. Sometimes physical is delayed, like with Pikmin 1 + 2, but this isn't the norm.
A digital release, with some LRG release 8+ months later, is not the same at all. The Tomb Raider collection is another example. I could've played it months ago, but having to wait on the weird/stupid, LRG/standard retail hybrid release is ridiculous. Another 7 months... 🤦‍♂️ At least it went to standard retail.

2. So it took them 10 years to reduce their shipping. slow clap 👏 You know how shipping could be reduced further? By just releasing a standard physical edition (like many Asian market releases), so I can get the benefit of free delivery. At least with the multi-billion dollar publishers, they can afford it.

3. My first few Switch games were all fine, I never said they weren't (and you'd know this if you engaged in good faith with the critics)... until Scott Pilgrim. That's when I knew LRG was not on the level.
You don't need to have experienced it (3DO issue) directly. It was widely reported. LRG immediately acknowledged it admitted they f-ed up, and that they hadn't disclosed what their release plan was. LRG literally were hoping no one would notice. That's plain-faced deceitful business practice. Either you're calling all those customers liars, or you're defending dishonest business dealings; that's exactly what a tool of something would do, as I was pointing out.

Since you've given zero pause to any of the legit criticisms of LRG, and are still shaming those of us who continue to bring awareness to the ongoing issues with this company and their practices, it's fair game to offer an impression of you; "SQUAK! 🦜 LRG PERFECT! LRG ALWAYS RIGHT! SQUAK!" 🦜

@ZZalapski HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Thank you for that!

@Lightsiyd @Purgatorium @Mattock1987 @Fizza @ZZalapski @cmlobue I absolutely love all the shots at "JP Mandel" occurring in this thread. 🤣 🤣 You fine individuals all win this thread! 👏 🏆

Excited? Yes. 😃
Backlog? Ohhhhh yes... 😓

@Pak-Man Getting stuff isn't the issue, it's waiting upwards of a year that' is one valid criticism.
Also, multi-billion dollar publishers shouldn't be using a company founded on getting indie games to retail. Some of their other products are also not as advertised (3DO copies of "D", Scott Pilgrim) , plus being partnered with Embracer Group is not good.

@LadyCharlie That's very dishonest. There are multiple, fair, legitimate reasons to criticize LRG. You either don't care, or choose to keep your head in the sand. The long wait times, the increasing reliance on established IPs from MB$ publishers, using low-quality CD-Rs for 3DO games, Scott Pilgrim requiring an online check, oh and they're also owned by Embracer Group, the literal worst gaming company in the industry.

At this point, after all this, you're a tool of LRG. 🤷‍♂️

@DTFaux I wouldn't view AI tools like ChatGPT as a "culture war" "issue"; unlike most of "that" hyperbolic nonsense that isn't worth the time of day, AI is an actual tool, a useful one at that, and now that it exists, that isn't a cat that can be put back into its bag at all, regardless of the subset of people who cry hysterically about it. 💼❌🐈
AI has been a godsend for me for coming up with topics/points to write about for school assignments.

Personally, I miss the days of All Ur Base and other poorly translated text; it's beyond hilarious and charming. 😂

@IceClimbersMain It says right in the embedded tweet there will be standard, collector's and deluxe.

@OldGamer999 Like the whole Pikmin series, I still wish we could get LM1 on Switch. 😢

@RadioHedgeFund Just imagine how well a feature-parity version of COD would sell on Switch, had Activision bothered to even try. 💡

Good Capcom, good. Also, don't go full scumbag like Ubisoft or Konami by turning to LRG for distribution... 😡

@Zeebor15 Man, that is completely confusing AF...

@MrCookieCrisps For real. Seriously, 3 years later and its never gone on sale once!

@Zeebor15 If you're counting the Super Famicom Satellaview game...okay. I wasn't even aware it existed, and it's never been re-released since. My understanding is that it was essentially DLC for the SFC remake of the second game, The Girl Who Stands Behind.

@anoyonmus "The first entry, The Missing Heir, was released in 1988, followed by a prequel released the next year titled The Girl Who Stands Behind."

• Taken from Wikipedia

Oh that's so cool! Famicom Detective Club 3! After the surprise remake, we get an all-new entry. 🙂

Switch 2, please! 🙏🥹

Starfy on the DS was awesome. 😊

LRG = violent vomiting 🤮, then pass.

Switch version, in terms of fun, was decent, but my god does it have serious slowdown issues. Whereas Doom 2016 runs flawlessly and is a much more demanding game. Crazy.

The dude had a steller role model to follow for how to act completely unhinged when you lose... 🍊😉

@Zeebor15 Ye- err, I mean no, no, certainly not, no, never again... 🤣 🤣

🎶... Infogrames is entertainment, that rocks mmyyyy wooooorrllldddd! 🎶 😂

For those unfamiliar, you're welcome. 😉 https://youtu.be/522bVV-82qQ?si=GTfoSsvCKtM3LBYn

@SillyG My very first original introduction to Doom was the SNES port, which if you haven't experienced before, was kinda rough to say the least, lol. 😂 So I didn't have the luxury of the expansions, in addition to the cuts and downgrades for consoles of the time. I did play some of that additional content when I was going through the entire series from I to Doom 3 on Switch, and it's amazing how well it still holds up today, even to an essentially new player. 😍 And with how good the reboot Series has been so far, I'm very excited for Dark Ages. 😁

I bought the XBLA port for $3 years ago before it was delisted, but apparently the camera controls can't be inverted. Perhaps this version would be the better option. 🤔

@Danrenfroe2016 Absolutely, the new Dooms are outstanding. Although I just played through Doom 64 for the first time after it was ported, and thought it too was fantastic. I really regret not playing it 20 years ago. 😢

@beartown I don't worry about what other people are doing. I just play the games that look fun to me and try to enjoy them. Play how you want to play.

@beartown Yes, it was optional.

@PoeTheLizard It's a very annoying trend. All of us, yourself included, have things that may be inconsequential, yet irk us. Welcome to humanity. 😉

How you could make this list and leave off Doom 64 is insane.
Also, you couldn't just round the number to 10 games instead of AGAIN copying IGNs stupid, played-out gimmick of making lists with X9 entries, time and time again? Pathetic.

@beartown Then I'd say develop stronger will power to resist. 🤷‍♂️ Reminds me of the whole super guide online freak out meltdown, from its debut with Super Mario Bros Wii. Turns out it didn't ruin gaming after all, since it was optional. What a shock... 🙄

I'll get it at some point when it drops further in price, or there's a physical release.

@RygelXVIII Ironically, I find Nintendo's cloud saves to be the most reliable at actually retaining my save data, as the occasional Steam title save has been wonky for me. Same with Xbox's save feature. 7 years later, and my Switch is still getting regular active use. As cool as Steamdeck is, at this point, it's just a waiting game until Switch 2.

@Picola-Wicola Oh and just as an aside, stuff like the campaign co-op, multiplayer challenges, etc.. (even nearly every gun having an alt fire mode which I forgot to mention but was so cool) were carried over into the Timesplitters series, as many of the staff were ex-rare/GE/PD developers.

@Picola-Wicola You're welcome. I always do enjoy a chance to talk about and reminise over Perfect Dark, lol.

@nocdaes If you have to ask yourself "why would I play MP4?" after playing dread and Prime 1 remaster, clearly Metroid Prime 4 isn't for you. I'm a die-hard fan of Metroid and the Prime series since 2002, and Prime 4 is exactly what I was expecting.

I greatly dislike it when people criticize a games' direction, but don't give one single idea or suggestion as to what they would do that's so radically different. The original Prime was the radical change for the Metroid series, let's not lose sight of that. The only thing I can think of is to make Metroid a third person action adventure game, maybe something like Uncharted, as to preserve the platforming elements, which I would also be down for.
But then it wouldn't be Prime, so I wouldn't want it to have the Prime name. I would prefer it to have a different title; Metroid Delta or something, and begin a new subseries. What would you do that's so radically different? It's not like we can make Prime into a pinball game or some-oh wait... 😜

And then regarding the whole breath of the Wild angle, which is weird to me, as much as I enjoyed BOTW, it doesn't replace the traditional Zelda formula, at least for me. I hope we get another Zelda in the style of ocarina, Wind Waker, or Twilight Princess again.

P. S. MP Pinball was actually awesome. ❤

@Picola-Wicola Bring up the main menu and select solo missions for single player.
The Carrington Institute is literally a training area, with a firing range on the 1st floor, with some additional weapon challenges to do.

Combat simulator is the multiplayer mode, complete with bots. You'll also find 30 special challenge scenarios against a team of bots for up to 4 players to attempt. You can also issue orders to bots on your MP team. 8 bots + 4 players matches back in the day got insanely hectic and fun.

PD also has a full campaign co-op mode, as well as a "Counter-Op" mode where one player controls an enemy soilder and tries to stop Jo.

PD had it all (even hidden pieces of cheese in many levels, lol). Truly a groundbreaking game. It took everything Goldeneye did right, and refined, upgraded and enhanced the hell out of it. Hence why it remains my all-time favourite FPS, which I still return to now and then. Hope you give it another try when not rushed.

FFS Nintendo, announce the date already... 👀 👀 😰

@nocdaes I don't even care about LM2, but that doesn't make any sense. If I took that stance over F-Zero, I'd have abandoned Nintendo decades ago.
I for one am happy to see more remakes/remasters, especially from the GameCube era.

@SillyG Blame muskrat for charging ridiculous monthly prices to every company using their API. 🤷‍♂️

I find it truly facinating the platform split of Hogwarts, not to mention it's staying power, as well as Fifa 24 doing so well on Switch, given EA's awful "Legacy Edition" crap they've been pulling in recent years. Just goes to show that when a console sells well, putting effort into porting games to it will often pay off.

@MisanthropyAGoGo Right back at ya. 🥂
