It’s been quite a journey for Glover, the beloved 3D platformer originally released for the Nintendo 64. With time, it became an N64 classic that many fondly remember, and now it’s making a return to a more contemporary console—Nintendo Switch! 🎮✨
Limited Run Games (LRG), in collaboration with QUbyte, is handling the release of this game as a physical edition. Fans can pre-order their copies starting today for $34.99 USD. Pre-orders will close on September 15th, 2024, ensuring availability for a January 2025 delivery.
This physical edition marks Glover’s first official appearance on Switch, and with it comes the excitement of revisiting classic gameplay through modern hardware. 🎉
Would you add this retro gem to your physical Switch collection, or do you prefer digital formats?

I found this game so hard as a stupid child. I wonder if I can get into it as a stupid adult.
The N64 version seems still to be hard: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2lV23zqWtY
I don’t think AVGN is a reliable source, it’s entertainment. There have been many moments where it’s clear (to me) that he’s just pretending to be stupid or bad at games just to give the viewer a laugh, so I’d take this one with a grain of salt.
It was hard because the controls were abysmal, with some otherwise difficult sections to go alongside the controls. That said, the game itself had a lot of charm. I remember it with fondness.

Oh wow, I completely forgot this game existed.
Probably because it was released just before OoT so it was an irrelevant title almost immediately.
Wasn’t this game released on the Evercade too?
Never again
Games that required a memory pack in order to save were next to worthless in a household where one’s siblings would constantly clear the memory pack’s save data.
They might as well have just been tech demos
It was definitely a shitter to discover that they didn’t bother setting up the ability to save on the cartridge, but I don’t think you can really blame them for your siblings being arseholes!
