Turok 3 Remastered Sees Unintended Early Release on Nintendo Switch That Contains Several Major Bugs
15.11.2023 - 11:31 / ign.com / Nintendo
Turok 3 Remastered released earlier than intended on Nintendo Switch in Europe and Oceania, and as such contains a number of bugs yet to be fixed, its developer has warned.
Nightdive Studios, of the System Shock remake fame, apologised for the confusion surrounding the release date of the remaster, which was intended to be pushed back to November 30 on all platforms. “This was not the plan,” the developer said.
Inexplicably, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered launched on the eShop in Europe and Oceania on November 14. Nightdive said it was working with Nintendo of Europe to push back the launch date so the latest patch fixes were included, “but unfortunately, our holiday schedules did not align.”
Turok 3 Remastered is therefore available to buy now on the eShop with “known bugs and missing quality-of-life features”, Nightdive warned. These include a crash that occurs if the player tries to access the start menu while selecting their character in the introduction sequence, the functionality for invincibility, as well as two other cheats that are missing, and various bugs and QOL features set to be tackled in a patch due out mid-December.
That’s at least a month after the launch of Turok 3 on the eShop in Europe and Oceania — a less than ideal situation for players of the game, which costs £24.99 in the UK. There is currently no warning on Turok 3’s eShop page about bugs or missing features.
The hold up has to do with the latest build of Turok 3 moving through Nintendo of Europe’s certification process, Nightdive said. All other platforms get the correct version of the game on November 30. “Thank you for your support as we continue to resolve this as soon as possible,” Nightdive said.
Nightdive Studios has already released remasters of the first two games in the cult-classic Nintendo 64 first-person shooter franchise. Now it’s the turn of Acclaim’s Turok 3, which launched in September 2000 on Nintendo’s console.
It’s a busy time indeed for Nightdive, now owned by Atari and fresh from the successful launches of the Quake 2 remaster and the System Shock remake. The Turok 3 remaster likely closes the book on Nightdive’s work on the franchise.
“We’re considering this at this time the conclusion of the Turok trilogy,” director of business development at Nightdive Studios Larry Kuperman told IGN earlier this year. “That said, Nightdive’s avowed purpose is to bring back every lost classic, so who knows? But we also have a pretty full calendar for next year. We’ve had an incredible pace of releases this year, but next year it gets really busy.”

Hogwarts Legacy Proving To Be Popular On Nintendo Switch
Hogwarts Legacy was one of the more popular games with fans this year. Fans waited a good while for Avalanche Software to turn this game out into the marketplace. However, the initial launch was not what fans had hoped for. Rather than being available across all the supported platforms simultaneously, it was pushed back into three different waves. We saw the game’s first wave land into the marketplace for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Meanwhile, several months later, the game managed to be released on the last generation’s Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms. Then, this month, we saw Hogwarts Legacy land on the Nintendo Switch console.

This could be Black Friday's best Nintendo Switch OLED deal (and I'm not talking about the bundle)
The Nintendo Switch OLED hasn't been quite as stubborn as the standard edition was when it comes to discounts. However, it took this week's Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals to fully knock the value of the console down to unprecedented levels. Yes, we've seen the odd $10 discount in the US or £289 sale price in the UK, but 2023's holiday offers are taking things to a whole other level right now - and I'm not talking about the Super Smash Bros. bundle.

WoW Fans Highlight Major Community Issue As “Fragile Players” Can’t Take Constructive Criticism
WoW can sometimes get a reputation for being toxic, with players hurling abuse at each other over the most minor issues. That said, this can go the other way, and that same toxic behavior can make it hard to have any constructive conversations with players, as one Reddit user points out.
