Nickelodeon Splat Pack will launch for PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC via Steam on January 30 for $14.99, publisher Limited Run Games and developer Mighty Rabbit Studios announced. The previously announced Xbox Series version has been canceled, a Limited Run Games representative told Gematsu.

Limited Run Games has cancelled the Xbox Series version of Nick Splat Pack and will not be releasing the Ren and Stimpy Collection on the console. This follows the cancellation of 1348 Ex Voto on the console, alongside CEO Josh Fairhurst's comments regarding poor digital Xbox sales of their catalog. Is this the beginning of the end for indies on Xbox?

Any Magnus news yet? Rumors? Anything?

S SneakersSO said this would start to happen.

Disrespect his words at your peril.

 

[Skifi28]

I have no doubt a few specific people will focus on the game itself to make light of the news, but there seems to be a certain trend lately.

It's a PC that will have Steam.

For that reason, Xbros will still get access to this game. In 2027.

It always starts with the smaller less funded guys first.

Just like those smaller IP "just 4 games."

Then it went to 8. Now it's their flagship Halo and everything else going forward.

 

[th4tguy]

It is concerning but very clear. MS future is as a third party publisher. Not a platform.
Not hardware and not service.
The writing is on the wall. I would not be shocked if Magnus doesn't get cancelled prior to production.

We're gonna have access to everything in 2027.

Xbox apps, BC apps, Win store apps, Steam apps, EGS free games etc etc

The memory debacle might be their "out" excuse. But we shall see.

I'd personally like to see it as morbid curiosity of a scorched earth-like approach.

You can do that now, goober. It's called a PC.

Of course you know this. But that persona and all.

PC won't get my Xbox/BC games library on it, that's the main reason I'm waiting for the Ultra Magnus.

That's gonna go great along with RPCS3 on the Ultra Magnus to expand what isn't already playable.

Xenia Canary is still very lacking on some key titles for me so that gets a big thumbs down as far as X360 emulation goes.

 

[onQ123]

But was it ever really announced for Xbox?

I seen this news earlier but when I watched the video from a few months ago I didn't see Xbox to begin with.

Sidenote: It's not even the fact that it would be extra work for low return this time because this is just SNES games in a new package. Someone actually went out of there way to say F#(K Xbox this time

This is why nobody takes you seriously, Aaron.

 

[GriffinCorp]

Wow rough day for Xbox. Xbox leadership is to blame, they basically killed off the hardware with games everywhere approach. I think their hardware was better than PS5's, definitely like the controller more. GamePass killed buying games for Xbox too. Not surprising at all.

 

[adamsapple]

This is why nobody takes you seriously, Aaron.

eh?

Regardless of Xemu, my original point about bringing my entire native library still stands. I can buy a new gaming PC right now but it's not the same as having a thing that carries over my entire existing library.

It's not that I disagree, in fact, I bet you and I agree way more than we would disagree when it comes to our hobby. You just come off as a constant marketing mode, often.

Pretty much. Adam is one of the people, contrary to other insufferable fanboys, that you can tell really loves the hobby and can have an actual good discussion about games regardless of platform. It's such a shame that forced persona often rears its ugly head and ruins things.

You don't know that. They may release an official emulator for PC. If Magnus is essentially a PC, you most likely will be able to keep your Xbox catalogue on any PC.

Dreamcast bros, hold me.

That's very astute. His takes kind of feel like a bunch of Xbox push notifications.

Let's be honest, no new device is gonna be cheap. Hell, we're looking at close to $1000 for an anemic Steam PC.

Right but when Sarah Bond goes out of her way to say this will be a very premium and high end curated experience,..I'm thinking $2k+ easy, maybe $3k, especially with steam pc potato being $1k and ram prices up in the stratosphere.

"I can tell you right, that the next-gen console will be a very premium and high-end curated experience. You're starting to see some of the thinking we have in this handheld, but I don't want to give it all away."

 

[ReBurn]

I wonder how many people bought this? Genuine question.

I'm mentally prepared for anywhere from $1000 to $1499. Anything beyond that I might have to arrange a Gaf meet and greet to snatch some kidneys.

 

[BlackTron]

They forgot to include Quest for the Shaven Yak in the R&S pack. Edit: and Stimpy's Invention...pretty lame pack lol

 

[EN250]

This follows the cancellation of 1348 Ex Voto on the console

Well, at least not everything is a bad news for the xbros, Sony fans can enjoy their strong independent lesbian woman fighting the patriarchy game #964

 

[Kokoro2020]

They should have included Rugrats: Search for Reptar on this.

great price for some shit video games
I didn't even know this was a thing.

Or you could finally trade that PS3 you've been clinging onto at GameStop for some nice store credit.

Fuck that. That modded Slim is worth more than the nickle and handshake Gamestop will offer.

 

[rkofan87]

a Nickelodeon PC collection ported to console or just on Steam would be amazing

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I remember the Aaahh Real Monsters game being difficult, being a big fan of the cartoon it was a must buy for me when it was announced.

Disappointed it's cancelled on Xbox but I'l just get the PS5 version instead

 

[Bark]

Dreamcast bros, hold me.

I really feel bad for the DC refugees that jumped on xbox out of spite of PlayStation, and are now in the same boat again, sinking.

 

[rkofan87]

They should have included Rugrats: Search for Reptar on this.

reason we did not get the Ren and Stimpy games or the Rugrats game for PS1 is because those games are made by THQ these games are made by Viacom New Media

 

[Joe Cool]

 

[Gambit2483]

Xbox probably accounts for less than 10% of their ENTIRE sales. I'm surprised they haven't canceled more Xbox games tbh

 

[SneakersSO]

S SneakersSO said this would start to happen.

Disrespect his words at your peril.

From my most recent understanding, these are mere snowflakes on the iceberg. Expect this to be an occurrence with steadily increasing regularity as time goes on.

 

[rkofan87]

well holy shit this game got more love then it deserves.
it has a platinum trophy but to get it you have to play through monsters four times Rocko twice and guts twice.
that is because Monsters has both the SNES and Sega version and all four games have two difficulty levels.
they have a box art viewer and an instruction booklet viewer / music player.
and a intro with all the characters from the games running through a version of the aggro Crag it seems.
even though the games are shit I got to give her 7 out of 10 for the love put into this collection.
