RIP Blast Ball

I retire as the best player ever:
Two matches, two victories 3-0 with 6 goals scored
100% victory rate, 100% goals

Never forget E3 2015

Was there a demo released of this at some point? I feel like I played this but I never bought FF so I dunno.

End of an era.

I do hope that Nintendo continues to try out new multiplayer stuff like this, the timing in this case just was not right.

Is this in the main game or just the standalone? Online for the standalone was killed like 2 years ago, so I would assume we're mourning the main game, but that suspend screen definitely makes it look like the standalone.

Will people now complain about a game servers being closed less than 2.5 years after release? Or did the people who complain come to their senses all of a sudden that it's ok to shut down the servers for a game that no one is playing?

This could've happened anytime from release until now. Dont know a single person online or off that played it lol. It looked fun but I'd rather play rocket league than to get that game and use a 3DS for a short burst of action.

This has been shut down for months already by the way. I remember randomly checking at some point last year

Crazy. Every mp game (besides MMO or GAAS) should have a P2P option.

Blastball included as party of the HD Trilogy re-release for Switch. You know you nerds want to it.

Why are we asking to be punished twice?

It's not OK.

I love playing old games on GOG and still being able to find matches online.

I still play Dragon Ball Z Battle of Z semi-regularly on Vita. It's awesome that it still works.

Games need a P2P option at least.

Wasn't this the free download/demo though?

And yeah, this happened months ago.

EDIT: Years it seems.

This was for the free demo version so go take your concern trolling somewhere else.

This was a free demo version of the game.

Hmm I absolutely don't like were this is going. Very short support and without any communication.

Absolutely consumer unfriendly

But why even?

The game is peer to peer unless I'm missing something.

Edit: the twitter user is really slow if this is about Blast Ball standalone.

That's the standalone demo a la the old game from the NWC series. It's still there in Federation Force, though, isn't it?
