Game Preservation is not just about preserving games you like. Bizarre to see the video celebrating that some games are delisted - like Jump Force - especially considering how vocal GVG has been in the past about game preservation. The loss of any art, of any media, is never a cause for celebration.

[@Tim-007]

Not to mention that by celebrating a games delisting he’s essentially stabbing those who worked on it in the back. Not all games are perfect but behind most of them are teams that really do care but are more often than not bound by the will of the publishers.

[@kevinc8597]

Guess he only wants to preserve Nintendo games.

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

This isn't celebrating anything at all lmao, and any games that didn't require servers can still be found easily online and played on a modded console or emulator. This was just to make people aware that games can and will be delisted, even popular ones.

[@ts7844]

Let’s not be over dramatic. The games mentioned here are rubbish.

[@keijijohnson9754]

​@@ts7844Have you actually tried some of them?

[@nitinanku]

It’s a shame the console edition of minecraft was removed, i still have it and it runs excellently, meanwhile bedrock is a lagfest

[@Jomander]

I enjoyed the video but I was thrown off by the comments saying you are glad that x game was delisted or who cares that x game got delisted. For me it felt a bit mean spirited especially for the purposes of this video. I'm not saying you should have to pretend to like some of these games but to basically say the game's value as a piece of art is so bad no one should ever play it again felt counterintuitive to the purpose of preservation. In my eyes all of these games deserve to still be available even if they seem bad or unwanted because there is still value in their existence. Whether that is as a teaching tool, to commemorate the hard work that was put into them, or to just satisfy the curiosity of someone who might want to play them one day. Again the video was good I just wanted to share my personal thoughts on those comments that make up a tiny portion of this video.

[@Crusty783]

The scrubbing of 4J Studios' Minecraft Nintendo Switch edition is still so upsetting to me. Runs so much better on the Switch than the modern Bedrock edition :(

[@zZFlaviusBoss]

Even emulating minecraft bedrock on a jailbroken switch running android using yuzu runs better, idk how I'm supposed to fell about that

[@yuzef_jayden]

100% agree. Truly one of the biggest loss in switch history. For anyone who still has Minecraft for Nintendo Switch by 4j studio, hold on to it.

[@kevmk8997]

Dude yes! I'm furious the switch edition got delisted! I'm angry they killed it and the old Xbox one edition off before they could get update Aquatic and the older systems before them, the Wii U and Xbox 360 get update Aquatic! Wtf!? This move also killed my interest in Minecraft! This move by them pissed me off so much it killed my interest in the game! Bedrock Minecraft is horrible!

[@asackboyplush6508]

Honestly 4J Studios should of made bedrock, I genuinely believe they would do bedrock justice

[@GhabulousGhoti]

I still regularly play Legacy Switch Edition. Stopped getting updates right before the Phantom was released so I don't even care about the newer versions, and it ran sooooo much better than Bedrock Switch, and I can play as Waluigi. All those together makes it objectively the best version without a doubt :P

[@escargoat8552]

The snippy tone throughout this video is really rubbing me the wrong way. Sure, I might have never played some of the games featured here, but now I'll never be able to. There were actually a few games in here that I planned to look into eventually, in spite of any apparent lack of quality or hype around them. Beyond morbid curiosity or games that are "so bad they're good," even 6/10 games can make a lasting impression for one reason or another. A game doesn't have to leave ripples in the larger gaming zeitgeist to justify its existence. Bad Vibes Baming. By the way, saying these comments are "just a joke" isn't really the get out of jail free card you think it is. That's mostly because this video is humorless and you aren't very charismatic.

[@kevinc8597]

This whole commentary of "I am glad games are gone" is disgusting. You gain nothing as you weren't playing them and someone else lost something

[@keijijohnson9754]

It really goes against this channel's namesake too. Between this and that Super Princess Peach video, there really go against their name sake completely.

[@laur.33]

Yeah I agree, the whole point of not delisting games and keeping them available is that every game even if it wasn't well received desserves to be preserved. Such dissapointing commentary to hear.

[@pacostasol8132]

Maybe we can try being a little less inquisitorial about game preservation. At least on a video made actually helping game preservation.

[@kevinc8597]

​​​@@pacostasol8132 I don't think this video actually helps or hurts anything. It's more informational if anything. Once you express editorial commentary you're always open to criticism. I, myself, am on no inquisition. I don't believe games will be preserved and the only avenues for that will likely be illegal backroom solutions. I wish every game would remain in circulation big or small -- but it won't happen. I am, however, super disgusted by the mindset you're glad something is gone for someone else and have mentioned that. It's ick.

I never thought I'd see the day where Limited Run Games of all companies would delist anything. Edit: Ah. Licensing issues. Of course.

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

They are not about preservation of media and haven't been for years, they only care about selling stuff based on fomo. They're a company I expect this from because they aren't in it for preservation anymore. If something can't make them money they can and will drop it.

[@PIKMINROCK1]

Their entire business focuses on physical. Digital is a minor part especially with how they sell on digital storefronts. From their point of view, the game is preserved by being on Switch carts /PlayStation discs. They'd probably keep it up if they had the choice but some licensors are not going to give it on friendly terms.

[@Psygnosis7]

The entire modus operandi of Limited Run is limited time games?

[@nickstarlingch]

Limited Run Games is an anti-consumer company, they're the worst.

[@RockstarMazy]

[@johncomi6389]

Why are we celebrating the delisting of games again, gvg? I mean, i get if you dont like something, but as someone who really champions preservation, this is disappointing to see from you guys. In general, maybe let this guy stick to the editing, his videos seem not to be what the audiance is looking for, especially if he acts like this

[@Beny763]

Slight correction, the series is JUST the Trails series, or Kiseki. Cold Steel is just simply an arc within the series and not the series itself.

[@new__guy]

Love the channel, and I watched through the whole video. However, while this script was largely well-made, this video is distinctly not a very good vibe with some of the more personal comments about liking that certain games got delisted. Even bad games deserve a spot out there, and you can still have a lot of fun with them. That Popeye game from this video is legitimately one of my favorite Switch games because it's so broken and ridiculous that with a big group of friends it absolutely kills. Lots of laughs and we all end up taking turns seeing how far we can last through it. That's more of the vibe I was expecting from this, but it wasn't really here unfortunately. Excited for future stuff from the channel!

[@WeWontGoAlone]

I don't think you should be saying that you're happy certain games are delisted. Games preservation is important and even critically panned games deserve to be preserved. It's an interesting topic and a well put together video but I hope future videos are more in line with the "Good vibes" I expect around here.

[@jenerossitea9247]

there are people who enjoyed Jump Force, myself included. bit of a jerk thing to be happy about a game being delisted just because it wasn't something you were interested in or liked.

Fun fact about Cooking Mama: Cookstar, it seems that Planet Entertainment rereleased the game... kinda, There's a game called Yum Yum Cookstar on the eshop right now, published by PLANET ENTMT, and it looks to just be exactly like CM: Cookstar but with another woman taking the place of Mama.

[@keijijohnson9754]

From what I've seen of both, they're more different than just being the exact same game. I own the game on Xbox twice now, once because they made that free and had us keep it for the longest time until they took it out our libraries and made it unplayable, and the second time after that. They both have different scenarios going on when it comes to what occurred in both of them too all the while having similar gameplay to one another.

[@CatFish107]

Thanks for the heads up. I borrowed cookstar from the library, and would like something similar for my collection.

[@richardflynn4574]

Bit of feedback: it probably would have made more sense to group games in the list that are similar/have similar reasons for being delisted together rather than just having everything in alphabetical order as there are parts of the video where it feels like you are jumping around too much.

6:22 - As someone that actually owns this gane digitally on both PC and Switch, and HAS played it a few times on the latter... You can go screw yourself for saying that you're glad it's been delisted. Had you actually TRIED the game out beforehand, you'd be surprised at how fun this game can be on the console, especially in short bursts. It really did lead true to being "Splatoon Meets Tony Hawk" and it ended up being surprisingly better than expected for being something a Crayola themed scooter game. So again, screw you for being glad that a title that's not this bad at all is unplayable now. It really something that goes against the name of a channel called GOOD VIBES Gaming.😤 1:11 - Also, THIS right here? This is misleading as heck righr here since a lot of these games like Jump Force for insteance, which also screw you for that to add that game isn't even that bad at all either, nor too bad looking on the Switch, but games like that still ARE purchasable physically on Switch to this day. You just have to know where to look for the lot of them.

I happen to have the Stranger Things 3 game on my Switch and PS4 being a big fan of the series. It was rather shocking when I learned that it got delisted when my old friend wanted to get it.

[@particalman1016]

You should never say "I'm glad this game is gone" especially when you say you've never played or heard of it. ALSO I've felt this way for awhile now...In my opinion the downfall of videogames are games that require an online connection/live service games, because Servers aren't forever...a lot of games are continuing to disappear because the companies that made them are moving on to other projects or for other reasons. OR I don't have money to pay for console subscription services to use online play, so to be completely locked out of playing a game OR ever some free demos from the PS store require a plus account because it's an online only game. The only forgiving for a game to be unlisted especially for an online/live service game is that a studio sadly get's shut down, or licensing issues...

[@tomnookyankees3761]

There was also Retro Classix Collection #1: Data East. Published by Golem Entertainment. I only noticed because I still have it downloaded on switch, but when I went to try to check the e-shop page I noticed it was gone.

[@lilypadlilith]

For those unfamiliar, Overwatch 2 is quite literally just an update to the original Overwatch. Despite being marketed as a separate game, it uses the same app and updating the original Overwatch turns it into Overwatch 2. So not necessarily delisted, just rebranded (still unfortunate though)

[@Mario1080p]

Yeah, was kinda surprised overwatch was featured here for the reasons above. Actually a net gain now you no longer have to pay 40 dollars for the rebrand. I still say Paladins was more worthy of a mention as it's just plain gone for Switch users.

[@angelthingjenny]

Odd to me to see the video occasionally take such a mean-spirited tone. Even if a game doesn't click, it's still a lot of work from people that's now gone. That said, as someone who was big on Knockout City (and there are people who were big on Knockout City, for the record), the video forgot to mention that it _also_ has a free PC community build to run on custom community servers, if you happen to be interested.

[@jenerossitea9247]

that's actually pretty cool

[@genericfriend2568]

I respect the Missile command guys so much. I genuinely respect them for looking at their work, saying "hey, this doesn't meet my standard and it definitely won't meet yours, let me go back and fix this so that the players and I feel it's a satisfying title." and then going right back to work on a better version of the game.

[@spongebobfan78]

4:05 As an additional fact, the DX versions of the games are treated as "new" games, so any progress that you have will not carry over if you owned the original game then played the DX version. Same goes for the other platforms that also had the original Mysterious trilogy of games on, which were PS4 and PC. 5:56 What's funnier is that the game then released on PS4 a year after the Switch version was delisted, then the PS4 version got delisted too more than a year after. 13:10 A neat thing I heard about the game was that a separate version for PC was released that allows for private servers. Kinda like Spellbreak. 18:11 The weird thing is that the game is a re-imagining of Nintendo's Popeye arcade game.

[@voiddroid.]

Is Killer Queen Black considered rare now? I've had the game digitally for a while now and had no idea it was delisted

[@jenerossitea9247]

i'd say so, though the physical edition is even more rare than that.

[@ludovicusbadankle2]

Good Vibes gaming usually gives me, well, Good Vibes, and I was ready to defend the GVG guys here, but I was surprised by some of these responses. I would say the problem was with who they got to "celebrate" these titles. This felt like more of a personal review of each, which isn't bad, just not what this video should've been.

[@Klaxynd]

Slight correction, Akatsuki no Kiseki isn’t specifically a spin-off of the Cold Steel sub-series. The Trails series in general is complex though so I can see how you’d make that assumption. The Trails of Cold Steel games are just a story arc in the Trails/Kiseki series. I’d even go as far as saying that the Trails/Kiseki series doesn’t really belong in the wider Legend of Heroes series (unless they somehow connect it later which wouldn’t surprise me at this point).

[@ZW_Zacattack99]

one game that was delisted (at least momentarily) was The Pinball Arcade, a free-to-play collection of real-world tables from real-world manufacturers like Gottlieb, Stern, Williams & Bally, featuring tables like Black Knight 2000, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, High Speed, Xenon, Doctor Who, & AC/DC. The game is still up; but all of those tables are no longer available simply due to FarSight Studios's license with Williams & Bally Tables lapsing, and AC/DC being the result of a seperate, limited-contract that was quickly signed in favor of a Kickstarter Campeign. The game was released in early April 2018, but was pulled the same day only to reappear over a month later taking a 100 table library to only 40 (which would tell you just how massive of a purge that was) with the all other versions removing their Williams/Bally libraries later in June. AC/DC was pulled from both The Pinball Arcade & the off-shoot Stern Pinball Arcade a year later. Tables like Funhouse, Attack From Mars, Theater of Magic, & Medival Madness are still playable, only on THE OTHER free-to-play collections like Pinball FX3, and tables like The Addams Family being available on the messier reboot built on a bed of broken promises, misunderstood monetization, & a rocky port: Pinball FX. Though given Zen Studios's Rocky ride under Embracer Group and Saber Interactive; who can say how long those will last.

This move by them completely killed my interest in Minecraft! I loved the console editions on both of those platforms and it makes me so angry how they left the switch and xbox edition outdated without update Aquatic and the Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360 all get it but then update Aquatic was those consoles final update and then you know the feature where tou can transfer your worlds feom the older console to the new console? Such as Xbox 360 to Xbox one and Wii U to Switch? They completely broke that! They broke it because the Wii U and Xbox 360 which are older consoles has newer versions of the game while the newer consoles have an outdated version of the game forever!

Should games that were replaced with a different version of the same thing count? Outside of preservation, a DX version in most cases is close enough to the original experience. But with Minecraft: Story Mode, I don't see why that couldn't be reinstated someday. How hard could it be to make a deal with the new TellTale to have it come back? As for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, there's a chance we could see it added to NES Online in Fall 2025. And as for Super Mario 3D All-Stars, I still say we could see it return as part of some kind of future Nintendo Selects line.

[@viliuskasmocius1962]

This is why game preservation and emulation is essential.

[@barryklinedinst6233]

All games should be able to be preserved. Like them or not. Games i like may not be liked by others. Going all digital is bad for everyone. Its sad that they disappear

[@xykros]

That part about Spellbreak hurts... it was literally one of the first games I installed on my Switch...

[@senninmn]

Now everytime I look at H manga ill imagine that exact face of Jon censoring it...oh no...

[@fingrati]

Great list! I have a few of these delisted games both downloaded and on cart.

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

I'm lucky I had found out a week before bedrock released that the 4J studios classic console switch version was gonna be delisted, and those who bought it also got the new version for free. I (back then) bought it as a "hey i get 2 ways to play minecraft, neat!" Im so glad all these years later i bought it when i could

[@gaminglakitu]

Ah man I completely forgot about Whip Whip, because I really wanted to get it early in the Switch's life, but I just completely forgot about it when I got delisted. I guess I should of got it when I had the chance

[@mrhobs]

Yep, you should have. I stalled a good while too, but couldn’t get it out of my head. So cute, whimsical, and arcadey. Still got it like 3 or 4 years. Fun game, hope you can at least get it in Steam.

[@liquidocelot7934]

What was the point of making this video

[@bahamutbbob]

Wait, GVG has more than 1 host??

[@NicolausCamp]

Jump Force got nominated for best fighting game at the VGAs the year of its release. It had no chance of winning, but still. I picked up the complete version on Steam for cheap before the delisting, but I still haven't played more than the demo. That darn FOMO kicked in XD

[@degeneratecollector9950]

This guys gotta go

[@Chaosfox04]

I wish SMB 35 had a CPU mode so we could still play it like we can with Pac-Man 99.

[@DoorsInTheLabyrinth]

I wish Spellbreak had a single player game. It was fun, movement was great and the world was pretty neat to explore. Only you couldn't since it was all wrapped up in the battle royale gameplay, which I never really connected to. I wanted to love that game, but not surprised it's gone now.

[@drbowser166]

RIP Fuser. That game was so much fun. Felt great to mix songs together and make your own mixes. With how easy it was to do, it felt very rewarding.

[@M64bros]

Surprisingly I managed to get Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Minecraft Nintendo switch edition before they got removed and they're still on my switch still to this day. Along with Pac-Man 99, Super Mario Bros 35 and twitch!

[@akaimizu1]

Interesting list. I missed out on Mistover. However, I do believe they were to be picked up by a different publisher, so there is a chance of that coming back.

[@pixeltaku]

Honestly, bad vibes from this video… also just straight up lying about the second-hand market stuff in the intro

[@luckyretrotwist]

Another worthy mention is Girls und Panzer Dream Tank Match DX. Not sure if it was delisted per se, but it's only available as an Asian copy with English subs and digitally in their servers.

[@jojogelato]

Wow okay… I had no idea Drum ‘n’ Fun got delisted last year. I’m very happy I decided to get it plus a switch drum controller over getting Drum Session on PS4 then haha. What a close call!!

[@madmankevin]

Fuser was a huge streaming hit for about a week until Twitch's current policies on licensed music took effect. That's what killed it.

[@emnemms]

AFL Evolution 2 was delisted on the switch last year. Like other sports games, was delisted due to licensing issues

[@pikmin4743]

never knew Killer Queen Black and liquid bit went down. glad I got to play that great game online a bit

[@HunterGoodin]

One important note about the Cooking Mama game, there was also a bunch of controversy around the game mining crypto using your Switch’s APU and being forwarded to the developer’s wallet.

[@Tim-007]

Yeah that was just a hoax. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

Mistover is visually impressive, but apparently its overall difficulty has given it mixed reviews. Still didn't deserve to be unlisted though.

[@gummyshark93]

RIP Octopath Traveler

[@Joeynator3000]

I heard Duel Princess was "okay", too...but...it wasn't just removed from the Switch eShop...but Steam, too.

[@paperluigi6132]

It’s time to finally get this off my chest; whenever people say that piracy is necessary for game preservation, all my life, I’ve understood it as preserving the ACCESSIBILITY to those games. While there are some cases where some games are genuinely preserved, that’s because even the original developers and/or publishers don’t have the game anymore. For everyone else, rereleases of old games are only possible because they preserve their games on their servers, or in Square Enix’s case, they fully commit to faithfully rebuilding the game from the ground up, like they did with Kingdom Hearts for example. Look at Nintendo. They had the English version of Mother 1 and the final version of Star Fox 2 sitting in their servers for decades before finally releasing them to the public in 2015 and 2017, respectively. And Star Fox 2 is very noteworthy because despite the game being cancelled, they still wanted to finish it due to already being so close to the finish line, so they put in the finishing touches and got it fully localized, and then just left it in their archives. And for the SNES Mini, someone convinced them that it was the perfect time to finally let it see the light of day. So who knows? If all of the games listed here are still on the servers of their developers and/or publishers, we could potentially see rereleases someday. But don’t hold your breath for the REALLY bad ones. And the ones delisted for licensing reasons.

[@AlexDayz]

I remember seeing Crayola Scoot everywhere in stores, had no idea it was even delisted. Minecraft Story Mode being delisted still stings man. Also not Good Vibes by celebrating the delisting of some of these, regardless of your opinion of those games

[@safebox36]

Some of these games I get, because of licencing agreements ending without renewal or because IP rights changes. But some of them are just forced scarcity for the sake of increasing sales within the allotted time window. Like sure, I get not selling a physical version of Super Mario 3D All-Stars after the first year. But why did the digital version need to be taken down?

[@DaCaptainDerpy]

I'm surprised you didn't say the digital version of Citizens of Space

[@richardkim9952]

I tried to but the Sega Ages version of Shinobi on the eShop, since I loved playing it in the arcade back in the day. But it's delisted in the North American eShop (but available in Japan and Europe). I was wondering why this was the case and I remember that there was an enemy that strongly resembles Spider-Man so I'm guessing Marvel/Disney forced Sega to delist.

[@datalphalion]

Another high profile Switch delisting worth mentioning is the original Octopath Traveler. But according to Nintendo’s support page, the game will be coming back on the eShop “soon.” As of this writing, that still hasn’t happened yet.

[@bigcheese6417]

I know it would be a lengthier process, but maybe a video highlighting (some of) the out of print switch games. Mainly bigger titles.

[@P0chuL1ver]

There also has been the original Ori and the Blind Forest that got delisted. Only the definitive edition is available. I thought it would've been brought out in the video.

[@PikaPhantom_]

Definitive Edition was the only version of Ori and the Blind Forest we got on Switch

[@KentaB75]

Stranger things 3 is available on Netflix games.

[@JayWolf1955]

Might have to change the channel name for this video. "Preservation is good but only with games i like!" Is what it felt like. Also with how much he said "i didnt like" it had me asking, well what games do you even like that arent nintendo? Like seriously, those comment about hyperbrawl just felt so meanspirited for no reason, i havent even heard of it either and it felt harsh

[@Maxi024]

As a Knockout city fan since the beta, i will not tolerate any Knockout city slander
