Oh thank goodness it’s free. I just bought the Hat in Time DLC and I was not gonna be happy if I had to buy more DLC for another game I really enjoyed. Also excited for the eventual Celeste DLC
This game looks nice. Reminds me of Shinobi on the GameGear. Guess I'll buy it. I've already spent more time and money on the Switch than my ex girlfriend lol.
Wasn't a big fan of the metroidvania aspect of the game . BTW it was by no means difficult to get lost since the game literally hold your hands for the objectives , just wasn't a fan of the design choice . This DLC however , 10/10 masterpiece because it is linear and great + challenging bosses !
I bought the game because of this trailer. I immensely enjoyed the first half of it. I loathed the second half, except for the last stretch. Then, I could finally play this. And it IS as good as the trailer suggests :)
Considering I 100% completed this game, it’s nice to see some brand new content to go through. It’s definitely a surprise that it is free. I’m not complaining.
Dude, I just watched this trailer ut 10 times in a row unironically. I just can't get enough of the music and art man... Is there a poster of the picnic panic cover available somewhere? Would love to get that.
@@NathanSifuGaming idk if its a big sale since i already buy it and cant see the price tag. But its a good game with a lot of abilities to unlock and i dont think im far in the game. Also it has a good 4th wall breaking humor.
Great game! Sad to hear the creators are making a turn based RPG next =( I hope we can see another game similar to this be it messenger 2 or a totally new side scroller if not i we always have cyber shadow..
@@NathanSifuGaming There was this thing called virtual console where you could actually own the games and not need to be connected online after buying them. I know that sounds crazy but it was real.
I had to redo the music box also...I haven’t played the game in months so my muscle memory of the controls was a bit lacking for the first 10-15 minutes.
Matthew McCrory haha, I know what you mean. It’s like a refresher course for the DLC isn’t it. That final boss fight though 👏👏👏 loved it. Can’t wait for the (hopeful) next instalment.
So, how good is it? I keep meaning to buy it, but I'm pretty good at reality checking, and feel like I might enjoy it for a while, but not bother finishing it. Do you go into that addictive zen that you get from a challenging level in SMM2? I want something hard but with fun mechanics that feel great. I also don't have a lot of patience for downtime when I'm trying to get my action/platformer fix. Any thoughts are appreciated. Unless they're mean, then, bring 'em, but I won't appreciate them. ;P
GLO-TUBE get it. You’ll like it. I’ve been finishing the regular game and going back and forth between this and smm2. The bosses are challenging enough and the dialogue is funny. I giggled. I love it. After I finish the dlc I’m most likely gonna play it all over again. If you dig platformers like smm, celeste, cuphead, like I do, you’ll dig it too. Cloud stepping is dope☁️
@@madmikemike Thanks for your comments and encouragement to buy, really helps me make a decision. I do love the type of games you mentioned, and I assumed I would love this, but... sometimes the flashy trailers don't give you the full picture of how fun it is to go through a stage... like how much of what you're seeing is being done with skill and timing. I like the NES Ninja Gaiden games (which seem clunky and unfair at first, but actually feature a pretty fun system once you stop trying to do your own thing, and learn the game's mechanics), so I figured I might like The Messenger, but wasn't sure if the cool "ninja aesthetic" was blinding me to some hidden flaws... or whatever. ANYWAY, I think its still a few bucks off (probably ends today), plus it has this awesome free DLC so I guess I'm getting it... even though I, like most video game-ists, have too much to play already, heh. P.S. Cloud stepping, if its what I see in the trailer, is actually something I was (am) really looking forward to! :P
Nintendo can u do super mario galaxy 3 (the trailer should be good)pls because I've always wanted to see at least one more game about it I understand if you wont
Shovel Knight King Of Cards got pushed back by several months. Either it will come at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. At least with this game the DLC is out right now.
I know this has nothing to do with this but can we get a mario kart double dash HD remake for switch and it would be nice to have a sequel for super mario sunshine, I really loved sunshine
Whoever writes the dialogues in The Messenger deserves a prize.
The fact that this expansion is free makes an already amazingly priced game so much better
The messenger is one of my favorite indie games! I was so happy when I got this notification.
When is this out?
@@Anyoneelsei It's out now in the EU.
I friggin love this game! Got my vinyl copy of the soundtrack and this just dropped... I'm so ready!
Sams
Vinyl master race 😎
I read it as you dropped your vinyl!
Rainbowdragoneyes doing the sound track makes me oh so happy
This is one of my favorite switch games! I'm pumped for this expansion, lovin the tropical vibes! :D
Saw this I was like dope new dlc then I saw it was free and I was like take my money!... oh wait
Oh thank goodness it’s free. I just bought the Hat in Time DLC and I was not gonna be happy if I had to buy more DLC for another game I really enjoyed. Also excited for the eventual Celeste DLC
@@thestormwizard6447 lol don't you normally pay for products you like
@@MrFrost009 of course I do, but free stuff is good
If anyone considering buying this game, Just do it! This game is amazing.
I don’t know what this game is but I like the music ^^
I tell you what this game is: Awesome!
Both you and cherry bomb must play this game. It is one of the best platformers I've played in a long time.
I’ll consider it! Just gotta buy a switch first lmao
Is it on PC?
@@DragonEXecuTionER yes absolutely
This game looks nice. Reminds me of Shinobi on the GameGear.
Guess I'll buy it. I've already spent more time and money on the Switch than my ex girlfriend lol.
This game is awesome
Its more like Ninja Gaiden on the nes but less cheap lol realllly tight controls with great music and storyline. Totally worth it!
Also Nintendo switch + The Messenger > your ex. Trust me buddy lol besides, you'll find someone better. She's your ex for a reason!
@@gc4397 1jiok
Definately in my top 3 favorite indie games of all time. Highly recommend this game, its amazing and so is this free DLC.
My favorite game of all time! Can't wait to play the shuriken out of this!
$Free.99 is my favorite price! This is an amazing game!
So exited for this. Messager is legit my favorite indie game

I loathed the second half, except for the last stretch.
Then, I could finally play this.
And it IS as good as the trailer suggests :)
Nothing special. Just one of the greatest Ninja Gaiden games in existence going on vacation, is all.
You: It is not a...
Me: I know, shut it.
Playing through this right now!
I’m loving it it’s so good
Considering I 100% completed this game, it’s nice to see some brand new content to go through. It’s definitely a surprise that it is free. I’m not complaining.
I can’t stop watching this
Absolutely fantastic game. Nothing else is being played on my switch.
Stoked to get home and give is a go.. Thank you Devs
This looks really good! Might have to pick this up
It's free dlc
Kevin Sargent I know, but I don’t have the game yet :)
the game is 30% off at the moment - do it!!
Noah Sabadish I saw! 😄 getting a nintendy card and doin it tonight!
Dude, I just watched this trailer ut 10 times in a row unironically. I just can't get enough of the music and art man...
Is there a poster of the picnic panic cover available somewhere? Would love to get that.
I saw this in Devolver's direct and thought it was just a joke, but it's a real thing. Cool
This game is such a good and unique platformer. Its on sale right now I stongly suggest you to buy it NOW!
Oh dayum it’s on sale? Might nab it while I can!
@@NathanSifuGaming idk if its a big sale since i already buy it and cant see the price tag. But its a good game with a lot of abilities to unlock and i dont think im far in the game. Also it has a good 4th wall breaking humor.
*I need that game...*
33 percent off sale of the messenger on switch on now.
Wow this looks incredible
Good thing I just bought this game recently.
We need a sequel 😢
Nice more messenger content
Bro I rock with this ost
The soundtrack sounds pretty amazing 😌👌
I like the pixel art!
Music sounds lit af!
Finaly some good looking 8 bit suroundings
Part of the game is 8 bit, part 16 bit
OST pumpin' as ever
Highly recommend this fantastic Indie game!
OMG YES AND ITS FREEEEEE, I LOVE THESE GUYS!!
Any game with these type of soundtrack is automatically buy.
This and Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight is best games
Katana zero is good too and celeste
I love this game so much!!!
I got the update last night I’m excited
It's actually really really good game. I wish there was an upgrade for the sword or different main weapons to use.
The platforming is intrinsically based on how much hits enemies take. An upgradable sword would destroy the balance.
@@RegiRuler Then make new enemies with more health, while replacing the lowlifes with the old top tier ones. Ez
I am soooo getting this!
A new fighter aproches
Anyone know how to access this dlc? I downloaded it from the store. I’ve beaten the last boss. DLC is know where to be found
In the shop I believe. There's a magic ball you can interact with
Ninjas in tropical islands having picnics.
This seems really cool
Whoa! Was it free? Damn I bought my switch too late
A available now!!?? Yes!
I'm very positive Rainbowdragoneyes is not a human being and it's actually a bot. There's no way such compositions grow in the mind of just 1 person
I dig the soundtrack
This is fantastic
totem boss is so epic just beat it!!! 10/10
Bruh those oni exercising at the end💀
I can't believe it, I'm early, for a Nintendo ad...
On sale right now
this games looks pretty cool and hard
RainbowDragonEyes brought me here
Reminds me of shovel knight
Would love to give this a go. I really miss side scrolling games like this and I am getting a little too tired of 3D games today.
first thing i did after work: download this faster than lightning
i have it and done it (once) on epic game... epic game app showing that i have and 1dlc but i dont know how to launch the dlc ??
Nintendo is just beating a dead E3 horse at this point, they still have their foot on the pedal.
Thnx nintendo 🧡
Your welcome
My god this is great
Okay but when is it coming out?
It's out
@@zheoferyth Oh "Launch Trailer". How didn't u notice that.
Lmao, its the beach episode, everyone! :D
I don’t even know anything about this I just clicked on instinct thinking it was smash because it said DLC
Great game! Sad to hear the creators are making a turn based RPG next =( I hope we can see another game similar to this be it messenger 2 or a totally new side scroller if not i we always have cyber shadow..
When can we get a *messaging system* for our switch though? Even Wii u had one and online was free!
Did the wiiu service offer any games like the NES thing Switch does?
@@NathanSifuGaming it did apparently
@@NathanSifuGaming There was this thing called virtual console where you could actually own the games and not need to be connected online after buying them. I know that sounds crazy but it was real.
@@NathanSifuGaming Lmao, because NES games are worth it.
Lord Hue's Right Hand I like NES games :) I was just curious if a similar service existed.
I think it’s like $23 a year? I’ll think about it...
Good soundtrack
I don't have my saves anymore though. Do we have to finish the game before doing the DLC?
Yeah sadly you do. Just finished the dlc. Its great.
0:23 the real angry sun
Nintendo Switch online is still there? Or not anymore?
It won't let me play the DLC. The orb says to come back after I've completed my adventure, but I've already beaten the damn thing months ago.
you need to beat final boss again and to access it
I had to redo the music box also...I haven’t played the game in months so my muscle memory of the controls was a bit lacking for the first 10-15 minutes.
@@muat1155 you will be glad for the practice. Picnic Panic is no, umm , picnic
Matthew McCrory haha, I know what you mean. It’s like a refresher course for the DLC isn’t it.
That final boss fight though 👏👏👏 loved it. Can’t wait for the (hopeful) next instalment.
I wish they Can Add... Marvel Vs Nintendo Vs Sega War of the Civil War

This is really cool might get it
This is free DLC but the original game, the messenger is excellent! Great music, great story and great controls! Highly recommend it.
Thanks for the recommendation definitely gonna try it
For a second I thought this was Ryu Hayabusa.
So when does DLC release
Nintendo you should really make your games more realistic like PS4 and Xbox
Genius, it's an Indie game.
Why realistic? Good games don't always need good graphics.
No.
are you 12
Yay a cool ninja game!
How many people love their mother
⬇️
Lol
I mean, I know it's bait, but I gotta be safe, y'know? Mom's have those...*powers* of telepathy.
Nintendo can u do super mario galaxy 3 (the trailer should be good)pls because I've always wanted to see at least one more game about it I understand if you wont
So it's finally there?!
2d Side-scrollers reign supreme!
Which theme is this?
Luigi's Mansión 3 Halloween 2019
With my love of Shovel Knight I might get this after the king of Cards Update releases!
just get it now who knows when king of cards is coming
Shovel Knight King Of Cards got pushed back by several months. Either it will come at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
At least with this game the DLC is out right now.
FREE? DANG! 😁
I know this has nothing to do with this but can we get a mario kart double dash HD remake for switch and it would be nice to have a sequel for super mario sunshine, I really loved sunshine
