While I'm a diehard Metroid fan and seriously hope this is the case, I also really doubt it. Even if it was true, "the early stages of development" means we probably won't see anything about it for another, what, three years? Four years?
@MortalKombat2007 Exactly! Why release an accessory for 27-year-old console? Admittedly, it's an excellent console, but why now? Why not even only 10 years ago? I don't understand what the point is.
@leo13 You know, I forgot about that... The battery is compact enough that it's no big deal carrying it with your phone - at least, for me - so I've never really cared about charging times. However, I can certainly see why others would want it.
For the record, it DOES charge at something like 2.8A, which is higher (and therefore faster) than most other batteries - not sure how it compares to Quick Charge 3.0, though.
To be fair, 30000 is MUCH bigger than is really useful; while it certainly can be useful in certain situations, I'm perfectly happy with my $10 10000 one from Best Buy.
@argh4430 If you stopped after Metroid 1 and 2, give another couple a try - those two are by far the worst. Like someone else pointed out, a fan-made remake of Metroid 2 was released today, and it's really freaking good. Try that out - it's very well-designed in that it lets you feel lost and feel like you're exploring, while actually leading you exactly where you ought to be going.
Of course, it's entirely possible that you don't like that, or that you've already tried other Metroid games; if so, that's fine! They're certainly not for everyone, but they mean the world to those who really like them, such as myself.
In either case, thanks for being so respectful of a series you don't see an appeal in! An unfortunate number of people can't see the difference between "bad to them" and "bad in general".
Smash Bros is definitely not a single-player game; treating it like one would guarantee that it gets stale quickly. My school has a Smash club, and it's wonderful. The game never gets old, because every day is new combos, new matchups, new matches, etc. Every discovery we make changes the way the entire game plays, like when some of us realized that sidestepping was way better than rolling against some attacks. The game hasn't gotten anywhere near stale for us yet, and I don't think it will for at least another couple years.

Ah, yes, because I can't imagine using glue that doesn't have Mario on it.

Re: Here’s What the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Day One Update Does
Am I missing something? Where does it say anything about adding in content?

Re: Mario Paint Lovers Rejoice, Hyperkin Is Making A New SNES Mouse
Wait... Not for the SNES Mini, for the actual original SNES?

@LemonSlice Any external battery can with a USB adapter.

So does that mean that downloading your local map from Google Maps will save data, as someone else suggested?

Is Ridley too big for THIS Smash Bros., too?
Re: Poll: Are You Still a Miitomo Regular, or Has The Great Mii Q & A Lost Its Charm?
I love the Miitomo app from what I've seen of it from my friends, but I can never get it to work. Every time I run it, it crashes.
