Yeah I saw this and tried to recreate it because I thought because it passed the muster it was allowed. I only managed to get one ladder on one run and it didn’t save me any time because I suck.
The puzzle design is really smart, but being able to skip most of them really cheapens the whole experience. This would be ok for completionists or the hardcore, but the game punishes you for doing this.
If still say no, not because I’m a hater or anything. Shovel Knight was and still is a leader in the indie revolution. A movement focused on doing things that are “new”
Kind of surreal that this could very well be the last dedicated Switch direct. Sure we COULD get one last one in September as we often do, but that falls into the window of the successor reveal which would spoil the fun for most people even though it’s not releasing this year.

“I really wonder, who's even complaining about this?”
Really easy to say after changing it because someone complained.
Re: Random: The Latest 'Switch 2' Rumour? Scroll Wheel Shoulder Buttons
One guy did a bad 3D print job that was vaguely switch shaped and people have lost their cool.
Re: Pokémon Unite Ending Service In Select European Markets Next Year
Just can’t help but lie about the P2W can you?
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th September (North America)
And so begins the age of Disney bootleg games.
Re: Talking Point: So Then, Is This 'Switch 2' Leak Legit?
Who cares? Fake until proven real, and then it doesn’t matter.
Someone could have seen the still very unsubstantiated rumors and made a mock up easily.
Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
Fake until proven real.
Re: Pokémon Wins $15 Million Copyright Lawsuit Against Chinese Mobile Game Developers
This is more impressive than it seems on the surface, as China basically doesn’t have copyright laws.
Re: Hands On: 'Royalty Free For All' Looks To Smash It With A Cosy Fighting Format & Timeless Roster
Cozy is now the n the same boat as roguelike metroidvania where it means nothing and is overused
Re: Does Astro Bot's Super Mario 'Inspiration' Cross A Line? Fans Seem Divided
Sony bros are hurting really bad if the best PS5 game ever is worse than a 15 year old Wii game.
And this success being sandwiched between 2 of the biggest failures in gaming history does it no favors.
Re: Konami Reveals More Game Boy Titles For Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection
I recently got into the game. I missed out on Forbidden memories and Duelist of the Roses so I hope those are included.
Re: First Minecraft Movie Trailer Features Creepers, Piglins And Jack Black's Steve
Holy cow…no unholy cow! This looks worse than Antz, what happened?!
Re: Review: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (Switch) - File This With The Series' Finest
How accurate is the translation?
Re: Nintendo Indie World & Partner Direct Announced For Tomorrow, August 27th 2024
This is a very clever way to manage expectations. Makes sense that we won’t be getting a direct in September like we usually do.
Re: "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" Sees Pokémon TCG Player Disqualified At World Championships
Can someone post a link to urban dictionary or something? What does that mean. It just looks like a normal fist pump.
Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
As long as they charge “well” under the competition it will seem like a competitive deal. My prediction will be $450 at launch
Re: Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Celebrates Remaster With Launch Trailer
I never played this series, but I read the first game got censored. Is that still true?
Re: Capcom Wants To Revive All Of Its Legacy Fighting Games On Modern Platforms
A friend of mine has informed me that they have proven this isn’t true by skipping Xbox for both the MvC collection and SNK v Capcom
Re: Sega Announces New Sonic X Shadow Generations Manga, Here's A First Look
You should make an article on how the OG generations is mostly getting scrubbed from the internet.
Re: Random: New Zelda: OOT Speedrunning Route Requires A Wii U GamePad And A Rubber Band
Who cares what controllers you use? It's a test to see who can beat the game the fastest.
This isn't a version specific glitch that would disadvantage anyone.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Player Uses Glitch To Top Donkey Kong Leaderboard
Yeah I saw this and tried to recreate it because I thought because it passed the muster it was allowed. I only managed to get one ladder on one run and it didn’t save me any time because I suck.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Sales Have Been "Utterly Terrible", Says Creator
The problem is that Braid does not hold up.
The puzzle design is really smart, but being able to skip most of them really cheapens the whole experience. This would be ok for completionists or the hardcore, but the game punishes you for doing this.
Re: Review: SNK Vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos (Switch) - A Great-Looking But Painfully Average Fighter
You misspelled soapbox.
Re: Switch Physical Release Of Psychological Horror RPG 'Omori' Cancelled
One of the best indie games of the generation, play it do it. Do it now, stop eating, sleeping, working, play it now.
Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Fire Emblem: Three Houses Or Engage?
FE3H is the worst game in the franchise, FEE is the 2nd best. IMHO.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th July (North America)
Yo Those Games 2 looks great. I’m glad to see the original did week enough to warrant a sequel.
Re: Random: Nintendo's New 'Button Collection' Toys Can Be Used For Real Controller Repairs
There is a great video on YouTube about the shortage of N64 sticks.
Re: Random: The New Denpa Men Is Getting Roasted For Its Translation Issues
It has begun. Localizers have ruined their industry and the machines have replaced them.
Re: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Switch Physical Releases Announced
Censorship bad, I guess they listened to the backlash
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Receives A New Switch Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Still no word on the botched localization.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition?
The problem with DLC or worse making this live service is that it would just get people complaining about the drop feed of NES games again.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th July (North America)
There’s a new Toree game?! Literally the first good game of the year.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Receives A Day One Update
With the trouble Nintendo went through to avoid this with SMBW, it’s kind of odd that this game is so unfinished. It’s even less finished than BDSP.
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Looks Stunning In New Gameplay Footage
@OwenGamer22
Bad translations are all the rage nowadays (and I mean that literally) people dont want a new or "updated" story for a remake, they want the original.
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Looks Stunning In New Gameplay Footage
What is type A and B, do they mean male and female? Why is the story no lomger about Erdrick?
This is going to be another localizer butchering isnt it?
Re: Nintendo Reveals Disturbing 'Emio' Teaser, And Fans Are Baffled
It’s Emio Mario!

Thanks for the warning.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES Library With Seven More Games
DOA
But 7 times.
Re: New Transformers Game Mixes Arcade Racing And Roguelite Combat This October

Re: Nintendo Files Two New Lawsuits In Continued Clamp Down On Switch Piracy
@Matl
These pirates stole over 60 million dollars with just TotK. That’s just one game. Imagine how much when you factor in things like Mario and Pokemon.
Re: What Review Score Would You Give Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?
@RunnersDialZero
Just not players
Re: What Review Score Would You Give Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?
It’s the same game as the original minus the multiplayer base. Same problem as RDR1
Re: Nintendo Live Suspect Admits To Threats, Blames Being A Sore Loser
People need to remember that not all games are bad live service ones...also don't do crime...
Re: Talking Point: Is Shovel Knight Now A Retro Gaming Icon?
@ParadoxFawkes
Exactly. Though SK is one of the few good ones. Most games “inspired” by shovel knight are ugly as sin and worse than actual retro games.
Re: Talking Point: Is Shovel Knight Now A Retro Gaming Icon?
@Banks
If still say no, not because I’m a hater or anything. Shovel Knight was and still is a leader in the indie revolution. A movement focused on doing things that are “new”
Re: Talking Point: Is Shovel Knight Now A Retro Gaming Icon?
@Banks
It assumes that the headline isn’t a math problem.
The game is an homage to actual “retro” games, so IMO paying respects by modernizing something retro isn’t retro.
Re: Talking Point: Is Shovel Knight Now A Retro Gaming Icon?
There’s a rule in journalism that all headlines posed as questions can be answered with a resound “No!” and that holds up here.
Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep
Mario & Luigi looks great, Mega Man technically showed up, and enough he RPGs to get me through the rest of the lifecycle makes this an easy 9.
Zelda game looks pretty bad, and at this point MP4 will probably be a launch title so it almost feels wasted to show it here.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
Kind of surreal that this could very well be the last dedicated Switch direct. Sure we COULD get one last one in September as we often do, but that falls into the window of the successor reveal which would spoil the fun for most people even though it’s not releasing this year.
