Theres only a few 2d metroids, and most are remakes of the original. And then the prime games are too expansive. But they still should've at least celebrated the anniversary.

There are only 4 real metroid games (Fusion, Super, II and original), and the Metroid prime series is pretty much a filler for the story (Taking place in between the games), and seeing how not really many people even know about it (We know about samus, but I personally never played a metroid game until Metroid came out as an ambassador game on the 3DS, so there are others like me) nowadays. I think they kinda acknowledged it with the Fusion, II and I rereleases on 3DS anyway.

You forgot Other:M
Never forget Other:M

Isn't super an expanded remake of the first?

Super Metroid is entirely a standalone game. It has similar things but its in no way a remake.

You are know realizing that the closest thing Metroid got to a 25th anniversary celebration was Other M.

How are the Metroid Prime games not "real" Metroid games? And what's your evidence for not that many people knowing about it?

Metroid Prime gets probably the most recognition and critical acclaim in the entire series, saying its not a "main Metroid game" is ignorant.

Let's just watch as this topic becomes another Metroid fan war.

Well, considering how it's a different mini series all on it's own, and it's a series taking place between the main games, I consider them side games. Though then again they are still fun and great.

And I know quite a few friends that never played a metroid game before until the ambassador program, so that's how I back it up.

Regardless, Kirby is here, so let's talk about him.

...And King Dedede, who still has a weight gain problem.

Could someone answer me this? Will the crystal shards be playable with a wiimote? Probably not, but I just want to make sure.

On the collection yes.

Btw there's blood in 2 Kirby games.

ESRB why are you not doing your job?

Kirby's Dream Collection looks like an excellent collection, especially for a company that we thought stopped doing compilations completely after the GC/GBA generation, and it would be a perfect way to introduce Kirby to people that have never played any of the games before, since it also includes a list of ever Kirby game ever made (before 2013 of course) so newer fans could easily find out what the other games in the series are if they want more Kirby. A minor flaw is that the 2 Game Boy games don't have the Super Game Boy features, so monochrome is the only option for them, but I'm still glad they were included at all.

I'm really excited about this. Although I've played four of the six games, I'm still convinced to buy this because of all the bonus content. This puts the Super Mario All-Stars re-release (which I was foolish enough to buy) to shame. A soundtrack CD that's not half sound effects? What a novel idea!

The soundtrack CD sounds awesome, from what I heard it has 45 songs!

That definitely puts the 10 "song" Mario CD to shame.

As long as I get green greens, butter building, masked dedede(unlikely), and nightmares theme, then I'm happy.
@KaiserGX people would be really mad if they changed those fights.

Because we need to show that people need to grow up when they reach the final boss.

It's a whole new world.

question does anyone know when the dream collection is coming out, i just picked up last story and nsmb2 from my preorder and it dawned on me wondering about it i thought it was coming out this month but with little information it says its coming out september 16 in canada which is funny because the bonus survery expires september 9th

This is all correct. You have until the 9th to take the pre-release survey, which will grant you 10 bonus coins when you fill out the registration survey after buying the game.

I can't find the bonus pre-release surveys for like any game anymore, where are they?

@Emaan: After logging in go to the bottom of the page and click on New ways to earn coins link and you should see the survey. But just to let you know you wont get the coins till you buy the game.
