Banjo-

@Tyranexx And we can always keep listening to his wonderful soundtracks! 😊

"Things drop slightly with GameSpot's 6/10"

Slightly? 🤣

@Serpenterror That's what I thought, that Nintendo cancelled and rebooted Metroid Prime 4 and Bandai Namco was developing it. Now is being made by Retro, which makes sense since they made Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3.

Super talented composer.

Owning the original systems and the Virtual Console titles (GC physically only, but still), I wouldn't rent roms on NSO either. If I didn't have four GC controllers in perfect condition, I would buy one of the new, too.

It's possible to dump your GC games on Wii, and play them without piracy on Wii and Wii U, and even use the original GC controllers through the official GC adapter that Nintendo released for Wii U and Switch.

Another thing I like about Sakurai is that he talks about other systems (Xbox included) and video games naturally, as a player.

@-wc- Right! The SNES controller is comfy and the D-pad and front buttons are perfect. 🙌

@swoose I completely agree. Your comment perfectly summarises it all.

Yeah, we are the kings. 😁 Seriously, it's a nice video. Basically, leadership must not equal rudeness. I agree with everything he says. Respect is the most important thing always, but excessive formality sounds insincere.

@-wc- True, Nintendo was an industry-leading company. I still like the SNES controller for 2D games (including the Wii and the SNES Mini editions). Using the joy-cons without the NIntendo brand, you would think that they are not made by Nintendo but a Chinese company that manufactures cheap clones.

@-wc- I would say that Switch is Nintendo's least reliable console ever and also has the weakest exclusive catalogue. Of course, my opinion. I enjoy more their previous content and consoles.

Totally. The Wii controllers use Bluetooth, like the Wii U pro controller, but none of them are compatible with Switch; not to mention the full-priced Wii U ports. Nintendo has become way too greedy.

@-wc- Plus, the Wii Remote is more accurate than the joy-cons and the nunchuk doesn't suffer from drifting, in my experience 😅.

@-wc- Right. Gamecube was Nintendo's last console to have cutting-edge graphics.

I still have four official Gamecube controllers and the Wii U-GC official adapter, so...

@Mortenb My first comment says "possibly". What you say it's also possible, but it's not the most logical thing to do if the emulator runs on Linux; but that's just a tiny part of why I think that Nintendo is hypocritical. They are using an emulator on Windows. In a real museum, Super Mario Wold would be running on SNES and emulation would be explained as a way to preserve games.

@LuigiBlood "You just proved to me that you don't know how programming works."

Another tag and another personal accusation based on your prejudices. I made a video game when I was a teenager, it's on my profile. What you say doesn't make sense, using their own emulator on Windows instead of Linux when their emulator runs on Linux. You can believe whatever you want. In any case, stop tagging me or I'll report/block next time. I'm here just to express my opinion, not to endlessly reply to your ill-tempered comments.

@LuigiBlood Yeah, sure, you did. I am not going to argue with you either, so stop tagging me.

@LuigiBlood "All of what you're saying is false."

And I can also say that all that you said is false, because if they were using the SNES Mini emulator, it would make more sense using Linux, not Windows, because the SNES Mini runs Linux.

The problem is that Nintendo is using Windows emulators, possibly made by video game fans (as far as I know, Nintendo's emulators do not run on Windows), for advertising their brand in their pseudo-museum (and for selling ROMs that they downloaded, if you remember the Virtual Console controversy), while suing everything related to hardware emulation, even though it's not illegal, not to mention stalking fans for using Nintendo's imagery. If some people still can't see the hypocrisy and how little Nintendo cares about anything but money...

I agree. I always say that the smaller New NIntendo 3DS is my favourite handheld. The pixel density is one of my reasons.

@SillyG Imagine anyone but Nintendo excluding one of the highlights (Super Mario Galaxy 2) from the collection...

I'm happy to see the second trilogy coming to modern platforms.

@AStupidID That is one of my favourite music albums!

@brunojenso Very nice comment I can relate to. Those were the days when I was in love with Nintendo: SNES, N64 and you are right, Gamecube wasn't that innovative, but it has some games that impressed me deeply. It was a perfect combination of top-notch hardware and controller (SNES, N64, Gamecube) and software what made Nintendo so special and that's their golden age. Wii is fun and has better controllers than Switch, but then Nintendo started to get greedier and commercial. The masterminds were not as involved in software development, new staff started making games, e.g., the awful New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Nintendo outsourced most of their projects. That's probably why I prefer 3DS and Wii U over Switch, because they are more connected to that glorious past. When I got the SNES Mini, I couldn't believe how comfortable that controller still is for 2D games, after all these years.

It's a really interesting video although this must be the fastest language in the world. It's telling how influenced by other gaming handhelds this model is and I mean the massive difference in power between the already dated in 2017 tablet and this. I can't help wondering if Switch would stay for eight more years on the market if it wasn't for them. Kidding, kind of. I also consider a bit too late to try to emulate the Wii Remote properly and that's something that Switch should have done. Is Wii Sport scheduled for 2025, for a fourth time? Call me crazy but I'd still play the Wii version on Wii (U) with a Wii Remote if I feel like playing. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I haven't enjoyed Switch as much as the previous Nintendo consoles, including 3DS and Wii U, but mostly because of the software compared to their past catalogue, so I guess that it has become the most important part to improve when it comes to modern Nintendo, even more considering they used to have separate home and handheld development teams.

@Astronautwithanitch Switch XL or Switch XXXXXXL? 😜

I love the Mii Maker page.

I hope it's released for more platforms. I remember that @NEStalgia mentioned this project years ago and I'm happy to see that it's nearly finished now.

I bought it at launch for 3DS so big no at that price. If they sacrificed the 3D, it should run at 60fps or have extra content. Next thing, a full-priced port of Super Mario "3D" Land.

@NintendoKnight If any other publisher did what Nintendoes, every single person would complain, but Nintendo is some kind of god that deserves milking their devotees indefinitely and only they are to blame.

@Edu23XWiiU Yep, 3 was bigger. I'm sorry to say that I didn't like Other M in spite of looking forward to it, but it has some impressive graphics. I think that the best-looking Wii game is Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles, Monster Hunter Tri not counting on-rails games. GC has more stunners: Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, Wave Race, Twilight Princess, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine... GC was an amazing console.

@Edu23XWiiU Wii was barely more powerful than GC. Metroid Prime 3 was presented in 16:9 and not just 4:3 and shows larger environments on screen, so that's why the graphics don't look better than a GC game. It wasn't the only one, Mario Mart Wii also looks worse than Mario Kart Double Dash.

Congratulations @JonWahlgren on this wonderful review made by a real player (in 2010). I hadn't read it until today.

I also agree with @dartmonkey's opinion. Goldeneye 007 is my favourite, too, although my only problem with Perfect Dark was no map in bigger environments.

In both cases, it makes a huge difference playing the Xbox remasters. By Goldeneye remaster I mean the one that was released unofficially and runs on Xbox 360/Xenia and, obviously, the Perfect Dark remaster available on Xbox 360, Xbox One and Series S|X.

@WheresWaveRace Cool name, that is one of my favourite Nintendo IPs. Where is it, huh?

@SalvorHardin Does it mean Metroid Prime Remaster Remastered before Metroid Prime 5? 🤣

@Ooccoo_Jr The developers explained how they spent a lot of time after rebooting the first project, working on the bosses' graphics and the third-person camera. They weren't absolutely sure about the final result because Nintendo didn't like the first attempt, but they achieved a great success not just in the graphics department, but the sound and controls. They made a very smooth game and even the 3D platforming was decent. I miss when Nintendo had high-end hardware.

NL answering themselves 🤣. I had no doubt that these "absolutely" not "stunning" graphics are about the best you can expect on Switch at 60fps. Enough polygons to make it look good, medium-level textures and sub-HD resolution.

@Yousef- Yep. 💯 Back at you about this unforeseen outcome! 😂

@Kawaiipikachu Thanks for the information, I had no idea.

PC version? Do they mean the Xbox version? Seriously, the Xbox remaster is the way to go. 60 fps, remastered textures, great controls, no input lag...

@Spider-Kev Metroid Prime was an optimal 3D translation of Metroid, just like Ocarina of Time of The Legend of Zelda. 😊

@Arminillo Indeed. BotW is a Wii U game that was delayed one year to make the Switch port, confirmed by Nintendo. I also found that comment weird because not just it's a Wii U game, but Switch is not much more powerful than Wii U, just different mobile technology that was already dated at launch.

Funny words because the "BotW moment" is the worst thing that has happened to The Legend of Zelda according to many fans like myself.

@Tyranexx What I don't like about Metroid Prime 2 is the dual world, because when trying to complete these games 100% as I did, it was quite frustrating and tiresome, especially because of the lack of clues. I used a guide to find all the collectibles, but these are that kind of games that are more enjoyable not using them, because of the exploration. By the way, I didn't like backtracking in these games, mostly because of the respawning enemies and the routes with bomb jumping 😅.

I love my New 3DS. The Lite was my first Switch and I hated it, especially the screen, so I sold it and bought a Switch v.2.

@Tyranexx Scanning is a bit boring in these games, but at least you can scan anything that you have missed, except the bosses. The bosses in the GC version of Metroid Prime 2 are very difficult! The Wii/Wii U collection is better, I also have it. The Wii Remote is cool for these titles.

@Tyranexx Imagine beating a Metroid Prime 2 boss and forget to scan. 🤣

@gabrigoes Yes, I enjoyed the Metroid Prime games on GC and Wii and I would be very disappointed if Metroid Prime 4 didn't run at 60fps on Switch after 18 years.

I wouldn't say that the graphics look absolutely stunning, but if it runs at 60fps on Switch smoothly, I won't complain.

@LEGEND_MARIOID Thank you. I have the two GameCube titles, but I have never played them. I haven't played any title yet.

Who is the developer?

Nintendo versus culture and the world population. They'd rather go bankrupt before letting someone else play their tunes.

This is my least favourite Donkey Kong Country game and I already completed 100% on Wii. The game looks the same but with a higher resolution output. They did not even add fur shading!
