Should You Buy Sphinx And The Cursed Mummy On Nintendo Switch?

- Опубліковано 29 січ 2019
- Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is now out on the Nintendo Switch after being ported to PC in November. This version actually retains settings that you would normally only find in a PC game and the game itself looks good and runs well. Both docked and handheld mode target 60FPS and while it still looks like a PS2 game a lot of the rough edges have been smoothed out. Let's take a look at the game and help you decide if this game is for you or not.

This is the definition of a hidden gem.
Is it good? I know snes and ps2 had good games. But ps4 abd Nes Switch idk. Might b crappy
@@fidelsolis6070 I like it, it kinda reminds me of Jak and Daxter somehow
@@fidelsolis6070 it is a great game. A true classic. But sometimes the graphics aren't the best it's still fun with a great story mode
@@tylermartinez3068 surprised you think so I always thought this had some incredible graphics for its day
A diamond in the rough.
This game is literally my childhood! I grew up playing this game and to this day it is still my #1 favorite game of all time!
Same here my next step is getting sphinx tattoo on me ❤❤❤
@@corsellmcfarland7167 thats fire
Ya know, it is kind of funny, I think this game looks fine graphically.
right way better then them pixel games 16 bit I can't stand those graphics
@@esprockstsjh Same it's so over done and they overrated. I want more quality PS2 level games.
@@NintendoDude888 Not really. There are too many pixal games. It's Overkill and why many games are just overlooked. Try at least a little. 8 bit is awful looking. I'd take FF7 graphics over 8 bit. 16 bit is fine but limiting the art should never be on purpose. Back then they tried going beyond what limits they had, not settle or be content. Thats why it doesn't work anymore. Comes off as low budget. No one considered FF 6 low budget. Not a single indie rpg lives up to games like Chrono Trigger, Star Ocean 2, Super Mario RPG. Just look at games that continued to use pixal art on ps1. Never got them anywhere. It's more than what "ages better"
The graphics are very good in my opinion.
@@esprockstsjh bruh. The snes graphics still hold up, they're beautiful!
Haha that climbing animation is cool LOL!
They should have at least added shadows. It looks all weird with no character shadow.
seems like a remaster would've been nice,
probably not enough faith in it making the money back
@@nowonmetube spoken like a true gamer, please keep in mind that we don't really know how this version is build and that 'just use x automatic solution' rarely is as easy as it may sound
also any added work adds time to a project which raises the cost incredibly fast
@@nowonmetube Does NVIDIA make those machine learning tools available, freely or otherwise?
nope@@robotwolf
The shadows will be added in a next coming update. By the way now is possible to play the removed regions from the game (at the moment only in the PC version.): ua-cam.com/video/FkqTxU4H_qY/v-deo.html And there's a discord server: discordapp.com/invite/heAdzUr where you can know the latest news of the mod and the game in general!
This is a great game. Very obscure title that not many remember.
I think all these remasterd older games should be $20..thats all i want to pay for a ps2 game.. and $30 to $40 for last gen. Like dragons dogma is ok at 30..
polo therenciel get used to the switch tax
I agree i mean okami hd was 20
I don't think it's remastered, looks like a port.
Just bought dragon dogma 20$ at best buy right now for ps4 21.89 with the tax & 17.99 on psn for digital not bad
Okay this is 6 months later and I don't know if you'll even see this but this game is $20.09 on the Switch store right now until September 5th. I actually just bought it and am downloading it now lol
Really great let's play Jon(SW). Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy was a fun game back in the day and it's nice seeing it re-released on the Switch, the price could be a hurdle for some people but definitely worth checking out with a price drop like Jon has mentioned.
I love Egypt and want to play this game. I’m thinking I’ll wait for a sale though. I’m pleased you have done this video as there isn’t much information about it on switch.
Hell yeah! I love this game and just got myself a Switch. I'm so stoked to find this game has somehow made it over via port. Kinda amazing, since like you said, it's kinda not really a 'huge' title as PS2-era titles go, but I remember having *so* much fun playing this one. Just waiting for it to download from the Nintendo e-shop! ^.^
Love this game. I still have the Gamecube version, but I pre-ordered this on the Switch, anyhow, as I've read that the game-breaking glitch has been fixed. Luckily I still have a bit of my Gamer's Club left @ Best Buy, so I got this for 20% off, for $20-ish.
Just having that door-disappearing glitch gone is worth buying this again, but it's also great that its graphically smoothed out.
This game reminds me alot of Legend of Zelda i'm going to get it for sure especially since it released physically.
@@nowonmetube I actually never got to play that one either I didn't realize it was on the eshop I'm going to check that one out too
@@nowonmetube back in those days when I was a kid I only had Nintendo stuff so I missed out on alot of good games back then I've played alot now but apparently I missed these two some how lol
Takes heavy inspiration from LoZ for sure
I love playing this game as a kid on the GameCube! It's such a blast! I always thought it looked amazing and I hope this small revival gets us a sequel! 🤩😁
Great game. I had this on PS2 and finished it years ago. The Mummy puzzles are brilliant and challenging.
Kingdoms of Amalur being THQNordic is something I'm only just now learning but that makes so much sense now that I think back to playing it. I just bought the remaster recently, I'm excited to play it!
Love this game, when I was around 8 I would play it for hours. Got rid of the ps2 and never really forgot about the game. I would always wonder how the game ended. Finally got another ps2 and told myself that I had to get the game again. It will always be one of my favorites.
This game is in my list of top ten all time favorite games!! Love this game and I am so happy to have it at $30 on the Switch!! I originally played it on the GameCube. I was worried about this port but I am very happy with the results. THQ Nordic did an amazing job!!
They shoudl've made Darksiders III better ... T.T i'm not buying it even if i own the first two because i've heard that the second part of the game is laggy and buggy. But i may pick this up
I've ordered the physical on amazon
I loved this game when I was kid. I’m glad to see it’s on the Switch. It it looks about as good as it did back then.
good video. I think I remember hearing that this game was one of those rare instances where the gamecube version was actually the lead sku, and not ps2 or xbox. Which was the more likely case during that time.
Loved this on gamecube. Definitely grabbing it
does it still have the game ending glitch?
I picked it up. Grab it soon if you want a physical copy, as it seems there weren’t many printed. I think the Switch is the perfect platform for the older era games.
My local gamestop only had one copy and they used it as a display copy. I was the only one that had bought it XD
@@bert98deer same here
I got one a year later $15... like 50 copies here at Wal-Mart lol
@@aaronlegresley9495 You never know though
@@Muntu-Miziki-Ya-Kongo whatta you mean lol
Your thumbnail face you use for all of these type of videos is hilarious. Its just looks so sarcastic
For some reason this game just reminded me of a game I totally forgot about, Heretic 2. Now there's a game that should be remastered.
has the save bug been fixed?
Widescreen support was already available for the GameCube on this game. :)
It's great on the switch. I would love to see Maximo ported to switch. Another ps2 era character game I loved.
For some reason I end up watching a lot of your videos.. For that reason i will hit that subscribe button today.. Lol. Keep up the good work dude. Thanks for all the vids.
Idc how much it is. I sold my game cube in my teen years and I wish I had this game lately and just realized it's available 😂😭💕 yesssss
Under $9 on eShop right now…seems like a must buy for puzzle and platformer fans.
im gonna pick this up after work i have it on my ps2 but id love to have this for my switch i havent plyed the game every much but looks amazing
I was just playing this on the gamecube :) An amazing game. I've beat it years ago but had to play it again, one of my favorite videogames of all time! It's definitely a puzzle game and they don't "hold your hand."
You're hot
Lol
I remember when this released in 2003, this was 1 of 3 games I wanted to get that holiday. (Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and either Beyond Good & Evil or Prince of Persia: Sands of Time being the other.) I think I bought it on sale a few months later, played it a little and then traded it in. I'll pick this up when it goes on sale and actually play it through this time around.
Best game in the world, i still walk around the city just for enjoing the soundtrack
Should you buy a banana at GameStop?
Damn it
Did you say, banana? 🙄
I have my banana pre ordered
Banana rama

Looks fun! Never played it back in the day.
I loved this game back in the days.
This game is definitely a hidden gem. I remember hearing about this game on a forum back in 2006 or so and I decided to try it out on PS2. One of the best purchases I ever made.
It's a shame this game isn't more known.
I remember playing the demo back on the ps2 but I never got to play the full version...I 'll get this on sale
From now on, this is how I will climb ladders
I still have this game on the PlayStation 2. Always considered this kind of an underground hidden gym
To be clear on frame rate, most 60 FPS PS2 games used interlaced resolutions. So the console only had to draw half the frame.
I like how he's bare feet. what a cute character!
Barely got to play it back on the GameCube, but it was all good. It's on sale for $15 right now, so time to see if I can wrangle 15-20 hours to play it on Switch.
I played this game on ps2 when i was in middle school. It is like meeting old friend again. I recall this was challenging and fun game. I hope many awosome 6th and 7th generation console AAA games release again to switch on reasonable price. Last generation AAA games definitely are better than mothern indie games.
I played this game when it came out on GameCube. Such a good game!
i love that game i use to have for the ps2 eventhough i never got to finish it because of that weird glitch on the door, i personally love because of nostalgia but it's still a good game at least. i hope it sells well so thq nordiq can make sequels for all the ips that have adquire, personally i would love sequels to this game, tak and the Nickelodeon games.
Omg I’m definitely buying a switch now! This game was so damn good!
They were gonna make a sequel but it got canceled. I forget why though. I’m hoping there will be more interest in a sequel because it’s on the switch now. I love ancient Egypt and there really isn’t a lot of ancient Egyptian themed games that’s not a puzzle game or Yu-Gi-Oh! to an extent. I love those kinds of games but I would love an adventure game. Plus platformers have been doing well and getting more interest because of the Spyro and Crash remakes
Has to be longer than 15 hours. I was stumped on this for months as a kid and kept moving forward
I forgot about this game. Was planning on getting it for the ps2 back in the day. Now that it’s on switch maybe I’ll pick it up.......after I get the switch pro..... that supposedly coming out some time in 2020. 🤪🤪🤪
I will like to check this game out. I went to get it when it first came out but didn't. So it good to have a second chance.
Looking at this game really makes me want Pyschonauts and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger on the Switch
Good news, Ty 1 is now on the Switch!
@@dude071297 and Ty 2 with Ty 3 to come in the future
Is this playable with the original gamecube controller and adapter, or should I use an updated GameCube like that from PowerA? I'm trying to get an authentic experience here
Did They fix the broken save point?
Yes they have, at least on the pc version idk abt the switch port
@@nathanhamman418 They did on the Switch too, I think.
@@nintyfan1991 I'd assume they would have, but i don't have it so i didn't want to confirm it.
I bought this game for GameCube from Menard's when I was a kid. It was pretty good.
Only £8 on eBay now I've just bought it.i competed it on original Xbox back in the day great game
Oh man i didnt know it was on the switch! I used to love this game on ps2
I got this game for $13 because I had points saved up. I played this on the GC back in the day.
Question is does it still have that game breaking save point bug
used to play this on ps2 all the time, still have the disc :-)
My teenage years were spent with a PS2, but somehow I missed this title. I've been wanting to check it out ever since NitroRad covered it, though. I think I'll try to hunt down a physical copy of this.
This was an amazing game!. Maybe I should play it again now it's on the Switch.
It looked great. Would you say its better than prince of Persia?
Did they fixed the game breaking glitch as one of the save points
I read that THQ fixed it.
Ha! I was going to write this exact same comment too.
What was the glitch? I was thinking about getting it dirt cheap on the original Xbox or GameCube.
Basically in the original if you saved at a certain point in the game and rather than progressing through the game and lets say you wanted to take a break and continue the next day. As soon as you turn on the game again nothing will seem wrong at all. You are at the save point where you saved, however you will no longer be able to continue the game at all because the entryway that you have to go through for some apparent reason will literally have a wall blocking it. Which the only way to get passed it is to restart the entire game all over again. It's only one point that does this. I would suggest to do some research because I can't recall the exact point that this occurred.
@@WDuckling Oh wow, that's crazy! That kinda reminds me of the glitch from Twilight Princess where you can get stuck in a room inside of a dungeon.
Fantastic game! Played on Gamecube originally.
Picked it up on sale. Great game.
I just got this. It was $40 for the hard copy from Walmart. I want Ys8 now but it's like a $100 or more for hard copy.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who drops legit money on physical copies. 😅
Is it phisical though or do i have to watch for a limited run release lol
I still have my original PS2 copy! I loved this game so much, I definitely want to get it. But, in Australia it's $49.95AUD.. for a digital copy of a PS2 game? Seems a bit much to me.
*OMG I REMEMBER THIS GAME RELEASING!* (All the GameStop posters for it were so bad!)
i'm going to get it for sure
Loved this game as a kid!
Now I want to play this...but I’ll wait for a price drop. Thanks !
I hope they have fixed the door glitch.
I played this game as a kid. I got up to a certain point saved my game to come back to play it later. loaded my save the next day only to see I was soft locked because the door was closed due to a glitch that happens at that specific point in the game and never played it again never going to.
I’m really only interested in big titles on the switch. The big appeal of it is having console quality games on the go. Even if it’s the last generation I’m fine with it. I don’t know what hold up is. I could think of a bunch of games off the bat to bring over. Kingdoms of Amalur, Castlevania lords of shadow series, Dead space Fallout 3 and new Vegas, Grandtheft auto, Red dead redemption one, The list goes on and on I’m not even trying right now this is just off the top of the head right here. I can understand first party games but let’s grab some older third-party titles. It looks like for the most part you’re not going to see graphic heavy games on the switch. It can be done but every time a game comes out that I really want it it’s always PS4 or Xbox and it makes me mad. So let’s backtrack a little and get this thing rolling here will you Nintendo?
The physical version for Switch is going to be a very uncommon find in the future.
Yup its already getting harder to find
@@belto3149 I still see it fairly regularly
It's an OK game. Not the worst game released on switch eshop by a long shot. If you like rime or old school 3d Zelda then you'll like it
Since you can get the original for so cheap, could you compare it to the original emulated?
It’s almost 40 dollars now on switch haha still love this game, definitely a childhood favourite. Happy they made it compatible with Xbox an PlayStation as well. Still enjoy it to this day.
Was free on Xbox to keep if you had Gold.
I loved this game as a kid. Just picked it up on the e-shop for $10.
I still have this freaking game after all this time
Halcyon 6 is coming out soon, will you cover it? It's a great game. Goes for X-morph Defense. Please say YES! xD
You look funny in the thumbnail
His face is like "really this shit again?"
I love how he has the same faces in the thumbnails
Actually, he changed the thumbnail.
@@nowonmetube Sorry. I'll post the screenshot later
@@nowonmetube ibb.co/sgwXThj here it is
I know I waited forever to get it but I loved it on the ps2 but it's now on the E shop for 9.99
On sale for 14.99 on the estore
I'm running into sound glitches in this game. Just a lot of popping sounds and stuttering in the music. I would like to note I'm playing off a physical copy.
Thank you
Too much money. Good game. Played back on the GameCube when it released, but $30.00 is too much.
3to5andglassy I agree (owned it on ps2 back in elementary school). $15 dollars should be more than plenty for a game that is over a decade old.
9.99 at Best Buy.com today
Well you can keep an eye on steam sales, the lowest that it has been was about 5$ so that's not that bad.
I paid $20 for the physical Switch version on launch day. Where are you looking for it to be $30?
Bought this after I saw Nitro Rad’a video & preordered this one as soon as I heard about it
I'd buy this on Steam, but I already have it on ps2 … the mods are making it tempting during sales though.
Damn. I had never even heard about those mods. I would never even have thought about searching for them.
Thanks.
I absolutely loved this game as a kid, definite buy from me!
I didn't mind paying the money honestly. I played it back in the GameCube when it came out for that system I loved it I played it so much that I screwed up the disc so I couldn't play any more honestly. And considering how much the remake for Resident Evil 2 is 30 bucks is not bad honestly I don't know maybe it's just cuz I really want to support this so hopefully they'll make DLC or sequel since I've been waiting forever for them to make a sequel because leaving the game of the Cliffhanger is a dick move.
I have sound glitches with this game, like sound skipping. I wonder if someone has the same problem.
This game was my childhood
Is the door glitch fixed?
OMFG this is my childhood here, i love this game😍😍
Is there a physical release?
Yes
Yeah.
