I basically never had 3D on, unless I wanted to see a cutscene or something. There were maybe 2-3 instances in Super Mario 3D Land that having 3D was actually helpful. Otherwise it's been more of a hassle than anything else. Just like I do with every game, I'll check out what the 3D looks like for 5-10 seconds, admire it, and turn it off while I actually play.

I see pre-orders are live for the Legacy Edition at GAME but has anyone else got this message when trying to buy? Was only trying to get one!

"We know you're super excited to get gaming, but unfortunately this product is either out of stock or has been limited to a certain number per customer.

I didn't see it until today but the Tweet responses are showing lots of trouble ordering. Or a few went through at least.

Hopefully more stock becomes available. Also hope it is not a GAME / Nintendo UK exclusive only.

The amiibos are still not up for preorder on amazon Mexico... But at least I have been able apply a few different discounts on the game itself.

Bloop.

I Hope this does well enough, for future new 2D Metroid games. (weather or not it will be on 3DS and Switch)
sure, im excited for this and prime 4 (which, reminds me. i need to get all of the primes games.) But, it would been nice, to have a new 2D one. instead of a remake.

I just can't wait for Metroid: Samus Returns! I bought a New 2DS XL just for that!

Many people dislike the idea of more ports of old games, but I'd welcome a Metroid Prime Trilogy collection in HD for the Switch. Since I've never played any of the Prime games that'd be beyond awesome!

I just heard the news. SCamiibo strike again.

@Peek-a-boo You had to pay actual money for Breath of the Wild's hard mode too. Imagine that!

@Tsurii I'm surprised you think this is the dumbest anything they've locked behind amiibo.

If the usage isn't significant people complain. If its too much stuff people complain.

Like Splatoon and Metroid, they lock extra content. Complain.

Breath of the Wild and Hey Pikmin, and many others, they lock consumables and nothing of any value. Complain.

Maybe amiibo just shouldn't exist at this point. That seems to be the logical solution to this problem.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I just heard the news. Apparently you guys have hundreds of Switches lying around. Must be an Irish thing.

@BLP_Software C'mon, be rational. What you've just wrote is drivel. We shouldn't have had to pay to unlock the hard mode in BOTW. We also had to pay to unlock Hero's Path. Something the game was following from the very start. Explain that please? Pack 1 of the DLC is a scam and full of stuff that should have been in the game from the start and should have been free. Most of it took little to no effort. And I can say that, I paid for it. Nintendo are ignoring the real first pack which had the Switch T-shirt and the 3 treasure chests. What a joke that is.

Just wait for the Metroid Prime 4 amiibo support, use the Samus amiibo to unlock Samus mode.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I totally agree...

Hard mode is already on the cart - you shouldn't have to pay extra to unlock it! ..same with Hero's Path in Breath of the Wild. I'd also argue that the additions of those floating platforms etc in BotW's Master Hard Mode aren't enough to justify the price - everything in BotW's DLC Pack 1 should've been a part of the full game in my opinion...

I much prefer the Mario Kart 8 model: scan an amiibo to add a harmless and purely cosmetic little custom flair to your game...don't lock people out of any more meaningful content - especially if it's already on the cart and used to just be standard! Sucky, sucky way of doing things!

It's a very stupid and anti consumer practice they've got going on, locking something as standard as hard mode behind a physical piece of plastic. Anyone who defends that cannot have my respect, because there's no excuse. I never understood the people that wanted - more- to be locked behind them, and I'm going to assume they're just a small minority compared to people who prefer usage like Smash's.

Meh. Higher difficulties never really added much to Metroid games. Just extra damage taken and less damage dealt. At worst it's cheese like Corruption having all hypermode-capable enemies use it at the slightest provocation, forcing you to burn health to take them down. Zero mission halved expansions... but that is kinda pointless when people just avoid grabbing them to add challenge, and in fact that specific game AWARDED such behaviour!

Alone, a force. Together, a force of nature.

It's a bit disappointing to see them lock such basic extras behind amiibo.

I mean, I fully plan to get them either way because they look cool, but sheesh.

@BLP_Software To be honest, I rather see amiibo go sooner than later. And seeing how the toys-to-life business is slowly falling apart, I'm hoping amiibo will soon follow. I'm not against Nintendo selling physical toys, but amiibo create too many problems. There's a group that doesn't buy amiibo (that's me as well) that wants to see the toys get as little functionality as possible. The last thing I want is paying €15 for plastic toys to unlock some extra stuff. And there's the group that owns amiibo and/or collects them, and they, as expected, want to get as much usage of the things as possible.

But hey, you're right, Metroid isn't the first game that's doing this. Zelda also locked a hard mode behind DLC. At least you don't have to track down a rare toy in real life to unlock Zelda's hard mode...

Five years ago this was the kind of thing we laughed at when other companies like EA and Konami tried to pull things like this. Look were we are now...

I don't even want to think about how they're going to sell Mario Odyssey in pieces to us!

@Operative2-0 The entire purpose of any business in any industry is to make money. You don't do that by being nice.

@Octane I like how everyone tags me just because I said it's damned if you do damned if you don't. I never said I agree, I just stated the situation.
