Apparently this is from an email being sent out, there's even a pic of it running on Switch: (Edit: eShop might just be the eShop page?)



Grain of salt of course but it looks real to me. I REALLY hope they at least give it the option of restoring the game to the GC version's style, since the HD version is based on the PS2 Overdrive release. This had adjustments to weapons (no 1-hit KOs as an example).

But MAN I was just thinking about this like a couple weeks ago! :D

Hehehe. I love these type of games. Really something from the GCN era. Goods news for me. It would be terrific to get a port of some others niche gamecube games like Alien Hominid, Billy Hatcher, or Gotcha force!

weird

but I'll take it

 

[Gobias-Ind]

Damn, that's not the biggest megaton but I'd expect more than a silent shadow drop for it!

Friendly reminder that Charles Martinet voices Fowl Mouth the duck in the game. ;)

Megaton! I didn't know there was an HD version! I spent hundreds of hours on this game with my friends back then, I think we broke a Gamecube controller because of it. Insta buy.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Wow, I thought we'd seen the last of that one.

 

[Mipmap]

Damn, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
I wonder if they'll add any extra content. I loved the game but it was pretty bare bones.

Yeah it came out in 2014. For reasons unknown it took until now to reach a Nintendo system. It was exclusive to PS3, PS4, and Vita until now.

Edit: Oh, apparently it got an XBO release in 2016, news to me.

Such a fun game! If you haven't played it, you should definitely try it out.

Was it a good game back in 2001?

Technically IntSys only did the GC port. It was created by Saru Brunei, one of the Marigul teams. Going by the copyright, it seemed Saru Brunei owned the IP? Though with their closure, I'd have hoped Nintendo would get a hold of it.

It...has it flaws. But its a fun concept (an arcade style combat vehicle game), something that has been missing for years on the major radar of video game spectrum. Last attempt of something similar it was Twisted Metal for PS3, i believe. Personally its a genre i love because its reminds me of good times with friends.

I played the hell out of Cell Damage and San Francisco Rush 2049 battle mode back in the day :P

Such a fun little game. Had a lot of fun with the original, and then with the Vita version. Crazy it still hasn't gotten a PC version though :(

 

[GUNDAM STARDUST]

This was one of the worst games I ever played back in the day.

 

[Gnorman]

Seems really random. I can't imagine there were many people asking for this.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this seemed like the most suitable place for it.

I used to adore this game for its multiplayer back in the day and picked it up after randomly discovering it on the eShop.

But after the first match started, something felt completely off. The gameplay is radically different from the Xbox/GameCube original. No slicing cars in half with chainsaws, polishing off your opponents with wood grinders, or burning them to a crisp with the laser. No more frantically trying to escape your opponents or strategically choosing weapons. What happened here? Without this over the top battle system it is a completely different – and, frankly, dull – game.

Personally I think it's misleading to advertise this as "Cel Damage HD", same box art and all.
