    This video was pure ART!! Alex, Zion, Felix & Kate, and all of the amazing team at Nintendo Life should awarded with OBE'S, MBE'S, Baftas, Oscars, and damn it even a Grammy, for producing the most splendiferous video game review video that has ever graced CZcams. Cadbury creme eggs for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

      There currently is no physical console release, I think there was a limited edition Collectors Edition of the original game for PC but this has long been sold out, not sure if one is on the cards but I’d be first in line

    Having never forgotten the style of The Stanley Parable, I can confidently say that you've nailed it. Usually, I have no need to listen to review videos because I prefer to read them on the site, their content being word-for-word. However, this time I viewed both... and loved both. Well done! I'll echo the sentiment that this is the best review video yet, and possibly my favorite video you've made solo.

      @DairunCates Před 2 lety

      Presumably this version has all the content of the original minus the PC specific content (which is mostly a funny room for trying to turn on no_clip from the console menu). So, this one should be fine to start out on. Although, you may find yourself buying both to support the devs eventually anyway.

  • @luigifan001
    @luigifan001 Před 2 lety

    It is a bit if a dissapointment that the Narrator does not make use of the console's unique characteristics.
    For example. Maybe he can say something about scanning an amiibo or using the move controller or about the switch's portability.

  • @praxisvoiceworks
    @praxisvoiceworks Před 2 lety

    Quite "Hitchhiker's Guide"-esque and perfectly fitting for such a game as this. Thankfully Alex can now rest easy in the knowledge that such a stupendous achievement cannot easily be surmounted by lesser beings, though that strange, sticky goo concerningly dripping from his nose that was once most of his brain might once have been cause for concern, he'd gladly sacrifice such paltry organs in the knowledge that it was all for the brilliance that is The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe experience....
    BRAVO!
