Oh man... the Metroid hype is hitting hard now. I've been waiting for this day since I bought a 3DS and Wii U 10 years ago and got into gaming as a hobby.
Didn't play many games as a teenager or young adult (so many other things going on at that time), but one game I did play was Metroid Prime 2. Loved it so much, played Metroid Prime after. When the Wii launched, I didn't know who this Zelda character was with a green elf hat- my hype was focused on Metroid Prime 3 (though I did also play Twilight Princess as my first Zelda, loved it a ton also).
From the day I got that Wii U, I dreamed of the next Metroid game in the HD era. Surely it would be announced at the next e3 Direct. Right? e3s came and went. But never any HD Metroid.
And yet, the year is 2021. We've fast forwarded through the Dark Age of Nintendo and have arrived safely 3 days before the launch of the first ever HD Metroid. We're there

I keep mashing the A button for the game icon on the main menu.
Just... let... me... IN already!!!!
Ooh, btw, guess what we're getting this weekend? A Monster Hunter Rise theme for Tetris 99 via the Maximus Cup!! And it has multiple songs, and busts out the epic and climactic "Proof of a Hero" when you make it down to the final 10 or so.
Hype!

Damn, between Tetris Effect and the start of that Monster Hunter Rise event, Oct. 8th is looking mighty fine for Nintendo fans who love Tetris. I also love the little symbols on the tetriminoes. That might become my go-to theme for a while.

I don't get how Tetris Effect is out on Friday but we still have no price on the eShop or even any footage since the announcement trailer...

Oh...all 3 as cloud? Hmm. I'll get them on discount then. I don't dislike cloud games, but I already own the series on PS4 so I'd be less inclined to pay full price for a non-native version.

Wth is wrong with Square Enix. They get the honor of Sora in Smash and THIS is their response? The lowest possible effort?
Man I really hate SE sometimes. They're a garbage company that does the bare minimum when it comes to Nintendo (except for their Switch division, their only saving grace). I know why it's cloud. Cause they don't wanna port all those games. Too much work.
Yeah, all the games being cloud versions is total BS, however I can't help but be ecstatic at Sora's inclusion in Smash.
Fantastic reveal trailer too. When everyone turned into trophies with the light behind them my first thought was playable Master Hand in some capacity. When Mario was approaching the fire in the dark with trepidation I thought "Dark Souls" rep. When Mario pulled out a flaming blade I totally thought Alphen (from Tales of Arise), but then it became the keyblade and my jaw dropped, lol.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Cool reveal for sure, and it's great sora is in smash, but why half @$$ the release of his games to switch owners? Surely I can't be the only one who hasn't played the games before, and with that said, why would I buy him as DLC if I haven't had the chance to experience him in a game before? Brining a cloud version of his games doesn't push me to even try them now, let alone buy him as DLC.
I think it's just 3rd parties starting to move away from supporting Switch natively. With Furukawa's comment in May 2020 about the point in the Switch's lifespan suggesting something's happening around late 2022/early 2023 and rumours intensifying about some kind of 4k Nintendo system, I think it's likely 3rd parties are focusing on that instead.
The end of Smash Ultimate would fit the timeframe too for a new system happening:
Smash 3DS/Wii U ended February 2016, Switch launched March 2017
Smash Ultimate ends October 2021, Switch successor launches in November 2022 perhaps?
It's like Square-Enix is going out of its way to make sure people can't play these games portably, lol.
Eh, oh well. I never liked KH1. I wanted to give the series more of a chance, but if they're going to act like this, I'll happily leave the franchise as one of the holes in my gaming resume.
Really wish the last rep had been Monster Hunter or Nahobino.
