I'd throw up if I spent actual money on this game.

@johnvboy

I live a sheltered life!

Never reallly cared what any of my consoles looked like as I tend to focus on the tv/console screen when actually playing games!

@WiltonRoots

I sincerely hope so!

@WiltonRoots

Like that Minecraft Master guy above complaining he would have to choose between two differently decorated Switch consoles?

The horror!

@westman98

Yeah people sure have romanticised ideas of Nintendo from the past.

They have always had the capability to be ruthless and make bad decisions.

But this one is not anti-consumer, everyone knew the facts in advance and could plan appropriately.

As I have said before this wouldn't really be a celebration of 35 years of Mario if the games/products celebrating it were available forever.

@Burning_Spear

I have seen their other comments, no helping them.

@westman98

Yes 50 quid for the PAL version of SNES Mario All Stars.

Now THAT was taking the P.

@Minecraft_Master

"And then Nintendo sold the Animal Crossing console and no one could ever get one a week later. And then a year later, they brought it back but at the same time as the Fortnite console. So if you didn't get one at launch, when no one could, now you have to buy two consoles at once or choose only one."

Wow.

@Minecraft_Master

Or you could, you know, just not buy it.

Literally (you like using the word "literally" I see) 99.99% of the population isn't buying it so doesn't seem forced to me.

@Minecraft_Master

Just sell your PS5 then you can buy 10 copies of the game.

@WiltonRoots

"Dawn of the final day"

@johnvboy

Yeah but I hope NL doubles down on the 31st and has an article every hour counting down the remaining hours. Would be bedlam!

@UltimateOtaku91

When you complete the game your camera gets replaced with a powerful rifle and then the real fun begins: Pokemon Shot!

Only room for one Ryu.

@SmaggTheSmug

I am aware, but that is always potentially the case.

Bottom line is Nintendo informed everyone from the start it was a limited run and people could plan ahead if required. If money issues are that serious a videogame isn't a priority anyway.

@Minecraft_Master

I mean you have had over 6 months to save up for the game.

@WiltonRoots

😂😂

@ManaOwls

Is this a paid service?

Wise up.

@Onion

Well if Nintendo killed their cat I would like to know about that!

@Carnictis

1st April - "It's been one day since Mario 3D All Stars etc were removed from sale"

2nd April - "It's been two days since Mario 3D All Stars etc were removed from sale"

3rd April - "It's been three days.............

It isn't a mess though as it has been clearly communicated by Nintendo from the start.

And on the brightside you guys have got so many articles out of it!

@SalvorHardin

This is a game collection to mark the 35th Anniversary. It wouldn't mark the occasion if the collection was around forever.

Also there have been millions of physical copies sold so it has hardly been a limited run nevermind the 6 odd months people have been able to purchase the digital copy.

Plus the three games will no doubt be available on the eshop for seperate purchase at some stage.

To sum up: It aint that big of a deal.

@sanderev

Odds on NL reporting the games are finally gone and someone in the comments section is genuinely shocked and gets annoyed!?

It is the internet, I wouldn't be surprised if that occurs.

So long, farewell.

@eltomo

That is fair enough but bear in mind people who enjoy playing Fifa or CoD aren't all heathens and can enjoy the likes of Mario, Zelda and Hollow Knight as well!

@eltomo

I would rather play Fifa or CoD than Monster Hunter as the games bore me to tears but I don't feel the need to tell everyone about it.

Alternative title:

"Japanese CEO wants to play Monster Hunter Rise so is getting rid of all annoying employees for the day"

@TSR3

Hmmm, fair enough. I just saw the Rumours tag at the top of the article.

Suppose it is news that Bloomberg reported this so that is technically correct as well.

Still not understanding what would be irresponsible about it though, what can people do with this information that negatively affects them in any way?

@Beatrice

How is it irresponsible exactly? It is a rumour article identified as a rumour article.

At this point I am going to ignore further articles speculating about this and and just wait for the official announcement (which I think is coming in the next 6-9 months).

@westman98

Yeah that is true too. The charts worldwide are filled with 7 or 8 non movers it seems in their top tens. Even the Japanese weekly charts has the same 7 or 8 non movers in the top 10 each week and most new games are in for a week or two then disappear.

Will find out next week if MH Rise will be an evergreen title or shine brightly for a few weeks then disappear. My money is on the latter certainly in the west.

The shadow draw-in is so distracting, should be an option to turn if off altogether.

As for the bit about framerates, I have no issue with 30fps if it is consistent but 60fps is far superior and improves how responsive a game feels to play whilst also looking much smoother.
It is apparent Chris doesn't consider it a big deal but that is why people like to know what the framerate is and I appreciate it being addressed in the game's review so thanks.

@johnvboy

Yep, for everyone who said RE4 took the scares away just didn't realise it was a different kind of scare. That opening village section was completely panic inducing and no other game has replicated it before or since for me.

And it could still deliver the classic RE scares as well with the Regenerators, the section with Ashley and the sewer section with Verdugo stalking you.

But one Game+ run later and I enter the village like a one man wrecking ball and destroy all around me and it is even more fun!

What.A.Game.

Gonna start a new run this evening!

Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever made.

Play through it a few times a year and it is just as much fun as the first time I played it in 2005.

Gaming perfected.

@Shambo

You too bud!

@TheBlackholeProducer

No worries!

@Kiwi_Unlimited

Cheers!

It can be hard to identify sarcasm when written but that is why I doubled down on the "!?!?" to help indicate!

@Shambo

I do find it odd people mention COD and GTA V always being there as strange but don't say the same about Mario Kart 8 or Animal Crossing or Minecraft Switch, all of which are now over a year old some near 4 years old. This happens every week and again in the comments today.

My only take away from it is that people think it is OK if it is a game they like that has been in the top 10 for an abnormally long time but when it is a game they are not fond of, such as GTA or COD, then it is strange.

I think it just shows people's unconcious bias.

Edit: Also the start of the year is quiet for big new releases so the chart will just be the evergreen sellers swapping order depending on stock/sale prices until there is an increase in new releases.

@TheBlackholeProducer

Yeah I was taking the mick.

"many of you will know that 3D All-Stars is being delisted next week"

Wait.......WHAT?!?!?!?

@Clyde_Radcliffe @dugan

Animal Crossing actually dropped sales by 7% this week. It is just all the other games dropped by higher percentages.

So it looks like Animal Crossing is number 1 because it is such a consistent seller.

@blockfight

Ha! Beat me to it!

@ShadowLFC

Third week in a row Fifa hasn't been in the top 10.

@Shambo

You have my curiosity, what do you find unusual about it as it seems pretty standard to me?

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the eshop.

@Strumpan

If they exist, not sure they do, they would be prohibitively expensive.

But it is good Nintendo has Switch future proofed for them (quite unlike Nintendo).

Does the soundtrack come anywhere close to a DKC game?

It just doesn't seem like Doom anymore. Eternal was such a let down after the incredible 2016 game.

@nessisonett

Yep there are so many games over the years I was unable to play just because developers left out the option to remap all the controls and even when they included options for left handed people they missed the point.

Best example is first person shooters, games like Doom included an option for southpaw but all they did was swap the sticks and for some reason swap the trigger buttons so I shoot with L now instead of R ( why?). But they keep the jump button at A.... how am I meant to jump with A whilst walking with the right analogue stick?!

As I said the system level button mapping all 3 console makers have implemented the last few years has been a revelation.

This is new information!!!!!!
