Yeah… I like to do other things with my limited free time on Earth.

@Samalik good to know, been looking for a game to play with the family over Christmas. Thanks.

@IpsoFacto I mean it literally says ‘content’. What more do you need explained to you?
And they’re also not ‘real’ porn/hentai games, Nintendo would never allow the stuff that you find on Steam.

@CrimsonDragoon Simple if you think about it - that content must not have violated the guidelines…

For anyone that skipped most of the article (myself included), this is the statement:

"due to the contents of the Re;Birth series and Death end re;Quest: Code Z not complying with the Nintendo Guidelines."

So it’s definitely not performance.

@CrimsonDragoon but as others have said, the quality cesspit that is the eShop exists. So I would be surprised if it was performance-related.
We had that King Kong game earlier this year and apparently that was criminally poor.

Sony have been the ones coming under criticism for strange censorship decisions in recent years, so I wonder which guidelines they breached (if any - this is of course one-sided). Not a great loss for my perspective though, these games have never interested me.

A surprisingly touching and classy gesture. Some have argued, however, that Astro Bot has gone beyond more ‘influenced by Mario’ and has straight-up copied mechanics at times. But respect to this guy for even having the audacity and awareness to reference Nintendo when accepting an award for a first-party Sony title.

@obijuankanoobie I mean, he does mention Super Mario Bros. by name, which is a game made a company that I’m sure everyone in that room is aware of…

Thanks for the clickbait! Even if you are just the messengers of said clickbait on this occasion. Good job, have my ad revenue. I’ve only got myself to blame.

The Game Awards is a shamelessly terrible advertisement event organised by an egotistical, uncharismatic, self-appointed cretin.

Of course I won’t be watching.

@Not_Soos You’ve spoken about something similar before, what makes you so confident that Intelligent Systems would hire you?

Also ‘image not found’ lol.

@BTB20 see my previous comment where I already corrected myself, thanks.

@Stormcloudlive Ah yes you’re right, I was tired when I commented this morning so didn’t read properly.
I also seen your follow-up comment where you wrote that the article could be more clear, so I don’t feel as bad, haha.

Don’t forget, we’re only getting one side of the story here. For example, I know he’s paraphrasing but he was never told to “go away”, I refuse to believe that. Unsure why he’s coming out with this 17 years after the game release too, what is the point? Like everyone else, I’m siding with the so-called micromanagers as that Nintendo quality is obvious through the course of their work.

@Anti-Matter is this even a game you would play? Seems like the opposite thing you would normally be interested in. There are much better JRPG’s out there.

@KingofRedLions mate, I’m not reading all that, have a night off of it. Although lol @ copying a moderator in asking for help. Have you really got nothing better to do than proclaim your NintendoLife account innocence? Hahaha

@KingofRedLions that’s not the definition of misandry, so you clearly didn’t do a good job of looking it up.

@RetroGames you just said that you don’t have quite enough skill or talent to be hired there in the first place, so I think you answered your own question as to why they wouldn’t hire an ‘old fart’ like you.
The article doesn’t mention anything about the average age of employees so how would we know their policy around that?
Keep sticking to the NintendoLife comments section and maybe someone will notice ye and offer you a position.

It’s a brilliant platformer, but I don’t need another copy and I don’t really want to support this one.

Nice clickbait headline.
I’m the biggest cynic on this site and even I think you’ve overreacted. It’s not a technical showcase by any means, but it has nice effects and the shot changes every few seconds, so boring is hardly the word I would used. Possibly uninspired, but it’s not boring.

Well if it’s Ubisoft then that game won’t be a competitor. How about an original idea, huh?

@nessisonett not sure if it’s necessarily a gambling addition or he just wanted to be ‘first’ for temporary internet attention.
However, I do agree with the last sentence you wrote. Been saying that for a while.

Christmas 2006 with a copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue and New Super Mario Bros. A memorable time for me, definitely left an impression.

I placed my order for Crimzon Clover in September 2021 and still don’t have it.

That’s not a typo.

20+ years of gaming and I’m now just finding this out?

There’s got to be more to it than this. Pocketpair wouldn’t be stupid enough to post all the details of the lawsuit on their website, and Nintendo wouldn’t be petty enough to go claim such a small amount of money in damages.
Will see how this develops.

Bizarre article this. Essentially an ad for these products but with very little substance in the writing and photography that misses out key features.

“No huge time commitment required” is proper clutching at straws.
By that merit, should a larger time commitment be a con for other games?

@Astropez I finished it when I was 3. Nae mods.

@Astropez wild assumption buddy. I still have my original PS1 copy from when I was a kid, so I do know quite a lot about it yeah. And what I do know is that I even preferred Mario 64 back when I didn’t know s**t about games.
And well done, you basically admitted that you couldn’t complete the original version because it wasn’t great and had to mod it to enjoy it. Good job 😂

@coolioam very much agree. I’m sure it was perfectly serviceable as an early 3D platformer that wasn’t on N64, but I feel that many people are viewing this game with rose-tinted glasses.
It’s not that good.

Goodbye, Wii U!!

Considering the review is 15 years old, it could have probably done with a more contemporary critical appraisal. A lot has changed in those 15 years, and even more since the game was actually released.

Looks like the game has had a barebones facelift at best. The controls were pretty terrible, so they’ll need to work wonders to get me interested in this, because it honestly just looks like misplaced nostalgia at its best.

@bigcalsworld agreed. The trailer does a good of showcasing the incredibly simple locations.

“Sega - obviously most famous for Sonic the Hedgehog” is such an unnecessary line 😂

@Olliemar28 or a baseless rumour. We know the site loves one of them too.

I mean, of course this was always going to happen so that some internet personality could gain some clout.
They could have used reverse psychology: input your Twitch/Instagram/X username in the form. If you have too large a following then you’re not accepted.

When I heard Blumhouse were getting into games, my expectations possibly couldn’t be lower. I’m not a fan of their endless franchising and largely-forgettable output, but this has come as a surprise. Will wishlist this one for now.

@Jarne yeah I think it’s just a bit of a clickbait-like article, because you’re spot on. Judging by the other comments, I don’t think many people would have thought it was anything to do with Shigeru, which makes the ‘FYI’ in the title all the more impertinent.

That’s 20 million Moon Baboons. Good grief.

I’ve been waiting for this since reading about it this morning, checked at 16:05 (because I’m busy in work) and it’s already closed.
What a bloody letdown. I selfishly hope it’s rubbish, sorry! 😂

@Olliemar28 respectfully, I hope you guys take feedback from the comments. Because myself, along with the majority of other users here, don’t regard this as ‘fun’.
I personally hate rumour-based content and I only clicked on it to complain.

Source is Reddit now? Really? No, seriously… really??

I’m taking a very much wait and see approach and don’t care for rumours and speculation. I will buy Nintendo’s next console day one as always, but I have plenty of games to keep me occupied until then.

Damn. Annapurna have consistently published absolute winners. Their games always catch my attention, like Devolver Digital, so this is a real blow.
Fair play to the staff for staying true to their values and the leadership who resigned, there is obviously a lot of trust there. I hope they bounce back from this.

Of course Geoff Keighley is trying to justify the asking price so he doesn’t upset Sony. Most of his Game Awards s**t is cinematic, minimal-gameplay trailers coming to that console.

“A study of video generative models of the creation of interactive video games”.

Keep AI out of all creative industries, it’s that simple.
While I don’t see Nintendo using it any time soon, it’s the sort of thing Ubisoft or EA would latch onto to reduce costs and because they generally don’t care about the player experience or artistic endeavours all that much.

At this stage of the Switch’s lifespan, who really gives a s*** about third party icons…

Even with the few performance hiccups, I would buy on Switch if a physical release came out.
