Re: Rumour: Another 2D Metroid Has Begun Development

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?

Re: Hardware Review: Aukey 30000mAh Lightning Power Bank With Quick Charge 3.0

@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.

Re: Metroid is 30 Years Old Today

@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".

Re: Masahiro Sakurai on Keeping Super Smash Bros. Fresh

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.
