@WiltonRoots I’m sure we’re not the only ones lol.
On the subject of the campaign length I think it’s ok. I always take my time with these games and all the 2D Metroids have been short games. The fun is going back and improving each play through.
Oh dear, a certain someone will be along to tell you how wrong the review is and how you’ve only done it because of outside pressure and fear of the dreaded “fan boys”.
@MS7000 Thanks for the heads up, I double checked and my bank card expires in august so have pre ordered from game too in case it all goes wrong with my Nintendo order
@BloodNinja Not one article I just scrolled through describes Samus Returns as a “new” game, it’s labelled as a “reimagining of a classic” in nearly everyone?
@RoguePirate Well if hours played is the metric for a good game then I declare Hyrule Warriors the best Switch game ever and should be at least £100 to buy.
@RoguePirate I didn’t try and justify anything, just wandering how you knew Nintendo were putting in less effort than another company. Despite your reply there wasn’t anything to believe it’s the case tho.
Mortal Kombat 11. Not sure where all the talk of micro transactions comes from as I’ve been playing since release day and not felt the need to buy anything??

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?
Slightly disappointed (my own fault for believing rumours) but there was some decent looking stuff in there.
Re: Bandai Namco Appears To Be Remastering A '3D Action Game' For Nintendo
If it’s just Metroid Prime but not the trilogy I’d be quite gutted to be honest.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Kicks Off On Switch This Summer
@HammerGalladeBro
Cheers, still sounds good. I’m all aboard the hype train.
Re: Canadian Hacker Bowser Sentenced To Three Years In Jail For Crimes Against Nintendo
Always find it so strange the amount of hate people/companies get for being successful/rich.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Kicks Off On Switch This Summer
@HammerGalladeBro
Was there a big difference between the Wii and GameCube version? I only played the Wii game and was a huge fan of it.
Re: Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Ed Boon To Be Inducted Into AIAS Hall Of Fame
Throughly deserved, Mortal Kombat in my eyes is a legendary gaming series.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 15th)
Just finished Zelda: Oracle of Ages and now just starting Seasons on the DS. Replaying Links Awakening on the Switch too.
Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?
From what Ive played I’d say Phantom Hourglass, the temple of the ocean king was just too repetitive for me.
Re: GTA Trilogy's Definitive Edition Will Reportedly Feature 'GTA V-Style Controls'
100% in on this one, only reason I had a PS2 was for these games.

Re: Soapbox: 10 Reasons Why Metroid Fusion Is The Best Game In The Series
It’s not as linear as it’s made out to be. You get a general idea where to go and then left to think outside the box on multiple occasions.
Re: Feature: Seriously, What The Heck Is Going On Inside Samus’ Morph Ball?
I like the hamster ball/ shrunken Samus theory just for the giggles.
Re: Metroid Dread Footage Has Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Launch
I think Samus Returns looks and plays great 🤷🏻♂️
Re: Retro Studios Scrapped An "Open-World" Idea For Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
I don’t mind the idea in general and would love to see what they could do with it but I think it would have been a strange way to end the trilogy.
Re: Best Nintendo 64 Games
For me, Majoras Mask should be number one over OOT and Blast Corps is too low on the list.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 7th)
Trying to finish Skyward Sword and then straight back into my Metroid play through.
Re: Random: This Vintage Metroid Cosplay Is Terrible, And We Absolutely Love It
All I can see is Juggernaut from X-Men, with that helmet.
Re: Soapbox: Indies Lead The Way But Nintendo Shows Progress Representing People Of Colour
@nessisonett
Any recommendations? I’ve only read him in crossover stories and wouldn’t know where to start for his own stuff?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 17th)
Working my way through my Metroid collection and have just picked up the power bombs in Metroid Prime: Echoes
Re: Deals: Grab A Free Gift Bundle When You Pre-Order Metroid Dread From Nintendo's UK Store

Re: Talking Point: Everyone Has A Bad Game They Love, So What's Yours?
@LocalPenguin
Top Gear Rally was awesome, me and my brother sank countless hours into that game.
Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Dread Be The Franchise's 'Awakening'?
@BloodNinja
I don’t need to provide an argument, it’s not a new game and everyone bar you knows this 🤷🏻♂️
Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Dread Be The Franchise's 'Awakening'?
@BloodNinja
Well you’ve argued it’s a new game, when it really isn’t.
Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Dread Be The Franchise's 'Awakening'?
@BloodNinja
How something is marketed and what it actually is though are two different things.

Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
@rjejr
The price depends on how much I can get for my regular Switch and the extra I have to put on top. If it’s worth it I may go for it 🤷🏻♂️
Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
@BlackenedHalo
Ahh, bummer. Screen is nice but hardly the upgrade I was hoping for.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
Anything on price yet?
Re: Poll: What's The Best Metroid Game?
Metroid Prime for me.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
Looks good, would like to know more about any graphics boost or improved battery life before rushing to buy tho.
Re: Dark Fantasy Metroidvania Ender Lilies Launches On Switch Today
@RoguePirate
It’s all good 👍🏻, if Dread fails to impress me then I’ll be more careful with the next game.
Re: Dark Fantasy Metroidvania Ender Lilies Launches On Switch Today
@RoguePirate
Metroid has a good record in making great games, regardless of price or length. That’s the only thing I’m basing my decision on.

How do you know Nintendo have put less effort into making this game than any other company?
Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
Not getting my hopes up but I’m hoping for some Metroid news.
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Normalise Giving Up On Games Early
Hollow Knight stands out for me. Brilliant game, happy to buy the sequel but will probably never finish the game.
Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?
I’m happy with the balance they’ve provided so far on the Switch. Got myself a few classics and a few new games to keep things interesting.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, A Game Set 100 Years Before Breath Of The Wild
Can not wait! Had the original on the WiiU, 3DS and the Switch.
Re: Mortal Kombat News Is Coming, New Reveal Planned For Tomorrow
@Heavyarms55
Personally I think the story in MK games is one of the best around and adds a lot of depth to the characters.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 1st)
Finally finished Bayonetta and starting 2 while trying to finish Castle of Heart too.
Re: Feature: Star Trek On Nintendo Consoles - Where Are The Great Star Trek Games?
Slightly off topic but is there anything I need to rewatch before Picard starts or can I just go straight in?
Re: Video: Explore Dragon Quest XI S With The Series' Creator And Download A Demo Now
Downloading now as I type, never played a DQ game before but heard so many good things about the series I’d be a fool not to try a free demo.
Re: Warner Bros. Reveals Full DLC Roster For Mortal Kombat 11's Kombat Pack
I’d rather they were all original MK characters but kind of looking forward to the Terminator, not too fussed for Spawn or Joker.
Re: Curse Of The Sea Rats Is An All-New Metroidvania Headed To Switch
Looks great, definitely one to look out for.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #1 - Super Metroid
@Sir_funkington
Pretty much word for word what I was thinking.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 4th)
Mortal Kombat 11. Not sure where all the talk of micro transactions comes from as I’ve been playing since release day and not felt the need to buy anything??
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
SNES version since I’ve not played the others. Top Gear Rally and Extreme G on the N64 and Double Dash on the Cube were my racers.
