If you already purchased several og these xbox live games, would you have to Pay for them again or will your xbox live subscription allow you to download previously purchased xbox live games again on switch? That's the big question. Somehow I think we all know the answers and it's not good.
I never played this one, since Playstation wasn't my choice of console. I played VII and VIII on PC. Not particularly fond of VIII, but VII is the best together with VI in the entire series IMO. I've been told that this one is up there close by. Not sure I believe it though, but I will give it a shot.
Well said. I'm super tired of people like @riChchestM who waste their life searching for things to feel insulted by. It's a god awful and pathetic way of going about.
How can you all be sure that Retro Studios will make it right?
They have done nothing close to a game like Prime for ages. If the crew is not the same as back then, shouldn't we worry? It's not gonna be the same director. For all we know it might be the same team who's done nothing but the platformer Donkey Kong.
It could go wrong. Hopefully not though. All I'm saying is, it's like expecting a good season from Manchester United.
I wonder why it took so long to realize this project was hitting the gutter. It's been what... 2 years since we heard that it was in development? Jeeze... what have Bandai Namco been doing all this time?
Wow... I'm happy at this descision. Not that I thought Bandai Namco was too weak to handle the job. I just like to hear that Nintendo cares as much for this franchise as they do for Zelda. .... and they do, obviously.
MM1 was a game I rented from a video store often. My first Mega Man game purchased with my own cash (yeah right, it was given to me) was actually MM2. I do like it more. MM3 was also great. I never got to play the 4+5+6 until a decade or two later when I found them on ebay. Still have them all today. I caress them from time to time like Gollum would have.
I like your "article". I believe your points are true. Especially regarding the music. It actually applies for a lot of other game franchises as well. Don't get me started on Final Fantasy.
I did like Mega Man 1 very much though. I'm not sure if it's just because it was my first. Might be. But that yellow devil dude stands out as something special. The feel of accomplishment when taking out a boss, for some reason felt greater for me in that first game.
I reckon light gun games, if working, would be much easier these days. We were used to playing these games on small tv screens. Sitting 3 feet away pointing at a 65 screen tv is like having unwanted cheat codes forced upon you.
I have always wanted a Metroid movie to happen. However... it's a dangerous move which is likely to dissappoint. It would need a massive budget and a proven succesful director, which won't ignore the series lore to stand any chance at all. Is it worth a shot? Probably not.
@Heavyarms55 I hope you're not serious. Of course you do not hear about the 99% of incidents ending well unless the outcome is something funny like this. Only the stories that goes utterly wrong ends up in the media. It's wrong of you to assume otherwise and actually you're only contributing to a negative society if that's your view.
Building an understading of the world through the tabloids is poison.
@Vlash OMG! Thank you for letting me know. I don't know what to say. It's !"#¤ up beyond belief. What the heck is the point of playing if no online support? It sounds vaguely better than watching paint dry on a wall. What do they take us for, idiots? It's a disgrace! I played 100 hours on Xbox 360 as well. That Carcassonne was great and about 1/3 the price of this. I guess Asmodee plans to teabag us in the face with the rest of their lineup as well. Thanks again for saving my time and money. I will dust of the ol' 360 to tend my needs.
I made a bet with my collegue which would sell the most copies. Pikachu or Eevee.
I know nothing of Pokémon and therefore bet on Pikachu. She is a complete Pokémon nerd and was certain Eevee was more popular. I believe that can only be the case with nerds. The common man next door only knows the yellow guy.
Finally all that Breath of the Wild hysteria has muted.
Ocarina of Time is a gem in it's purest form. In my opinion levels above Breath of the Wild in many ways. Let's hope for a better Zelda game next time around. Bring back the magic.

It IS definitely Hollow Knight.
Team Cherry said they were looking for other ways to ensure a physical release although they would be very limited.

I do hope a review is coming up in the next couple of days.

Re: Review: Smite - A Godly MOBA That Gives League Of Legends A Run For Its Money
@Painkiller_Mike
Could we maybe opt for a score system defining whether it's a good 8, a great 8 or an average 8? Seems like it's needed.
Re: Review: Smite - A Godly MOBA That Gives League Of Legends A Run For Its Money
@Painkiller_Mike
I was not being funny. I was dead serious.
That's how ridiculous it is throwing 8's about.
Re: Review: Smite - A Godly MOBA That Gives League Of Legends A Run For Its Money
@Painkiller_Mike
Are you saying previously other scores has been given on this site? I'd have to search thoroughly to find those.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About The Metroid Prime 4 Delay?
One question:
How can you all be sure that Retro Studios will make it right?
They have done nothing close to a game like Prime for ages.
If the crew is not the same as back then, shouldn't we worry?
It's not gonna be the same director. For all we know it might be the same team who's done nothing but the platformer Donkey Kong.
It could go wrong. Hopefully not though.
All I'm saying is, it's like expecting a good season from Manchester United.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Scrapped, Will Be Restarted Alongside Retro Studios
Maybe Retro's "new game" was MP4 all along.
At least when we were all certain Retro was going to develop MP4 in the first place... we were so wrong, that we were actually right.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Scrapped, Will Be Restarted Alongside Retro Studios

Re: Pokémon: Let's Go Sells 3 Million Copies In First Week, Becomes Fastest-Selling Game On Switch
I made a bet with my collegue which would sell the most copies. Pikachu or Eevee.
I know nothing of Pokémon and therefore bet on Pikachu. She is a complete Pokémon nerd and was certain Eevee was more popular. I believe that can only be the case with nerds. The common man next door only knows the yellow guy.
So... am I winning or losing this bet you think?
