Like say, hitting a specific tree in Shiver City with a hammer: It only saves when you properly quit the game.Īs a result, anything that causes the game to crash will render your last session completely meaningless.Īnd this includes glitches made possible via the dodgy emulation. Instead of updating the data on the file when you hit a save block (as you’d expect to happen), it only truly gets written when you quit the game: No, it’s related to how the game seemingly saves in this version. And that’s because it’s not really related to General Guy per se. Instead, this issue apparently has an unknown number of possible causes. Still, at least that’s everything, right?Īt least you can simply avoid losing to a specific boss to avoid this issue, right? Add this to him being found in Shy Guy’s Toybox (aka chapter 4 of 8), and well… anyone who didn’t quit the app since starting out could easily see themselves losing up to 10 hours of work simply because Nintendo’s emulator screwed up. So it’s entirely plausible a random player might lose here, and potentially lose all their save data in the progress. Yeah, it’s pretty damn bad isn’t it? I mean sure, General Guy isn’t the toughest boss in the world…īut he’s also not the easiest either.

N64 emulation never ceases to amaze me lol /oViQj3tkdQ At least play time and save states remain there. Here’s Dysphoria’s tweet about the matter complete with a video showing the found an error in Paper Mario on N64 Online that deletes the current save and returns to the one before opening the app. Why? Because just a few days ago, fans found that glitches in Paper Mario can seemingly delete all their progress since opening the app too! Yep, if you lose the battle to General Guy, apparently all your save data from last opening the app is just gone forever. Something far worse than with even their buggiest games and systems beforehand.īut now it turns out the bottom of the barrel still hasn’t been reached.

Then the graphical glitches came to the forefront, with the missing fog and glitched water textures in the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time being just two of the most blatant ones.Īnd when you add this to the memory card not working and hence saves not being recordable in certain games, well it’s quite clear something went horribly wrong over at Nintendo. Ah, the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack is such a joke isn’t it?įirst it turned out games played via the system had input lag problems, with N64 titles suffering from severe delays that made even their Virtual Console counterparts look decent.
