I hope this is just the start of the game and he gets killed by some gruesome alien so I can go solo. 7 years in the making and apparentky the most expensive game Nintendo has made. This game should be Nintendo's magnum opus. Nintendo should not do NPCs in a Metroid game unless the can have some Sony first party quality script writing.
This is the largest file size of any Nintendo game ever, and apparently the most expensive they have ever made and they are doing nothing to build hype
I wished they would get rid of all the other characters. Metroud is at its best when it is a lonely Samus vs the Planet, and the story is told via the graphics and setting only.
I want a 1st party game made for switch 2 from the ground up. This is supposed to be as powerful as PS4 Pro which was producing hanes like The Last of Us 2 and God of War.
@Lizuka Okamiden, Dragon Quest IX, Bowser,s Inside Story, Meteos, Final Fantasy IV 3D, Phantom Hourglass, Bangai-O Spirits. There are a lot of great games to add to te service
Each game is multi million selling. The budget should reflect this. The Pokemon should have voice-overs like they do in the anime and there shoukd be fulll voice acting.
With regards to the pokemon, once they have copied snd pasted the voicevers from the anime, they would not need to do this again.
I feel Nintendo are just taking the piss now. We have a machine as poweful as a PS4 Pro in your hand and there is yet to be 1st party game which shows of the capabilities of the system.
A very sad day for Rare, and the end of an era. We all knew they would ne er be a good fit for Microsoft. We only dream of the golden age of gaming when Rare were at the top. I can't help feel Microsoft are going to close the studio. Hopefully they will at least sell the franchises too.
First Metroid, then Echos of Wisdom and Peach Showtime and now a female company lead!!
I just can't cope anymore. My masculinity has been severely broken and Nintendo has made me gay and turned me trans and I just bought a chihuahua and called it Prince Fluff.
It's not great that these types of games can't run at 60fps on Switch 2. Pac Man World 2 can't even do 4k at 60fps and that gane is pretty basic graphically even by ps4 standards. I hope this is just early teething problems. This has not been a great console launch for Nintendo.
The customer service has been abysmal in Europe for years. Nintendo are not the family friendly company anymore. They are a greedy corporation who are abusing their current popularity. They should know better than most how fragile that popularity can be.
For me Gen V was the best. I love a lot of the designs. The Pokemon were finally animated in battle too. I personally think Black and White are the only Pokemon games that have a good story. The other games had awful stories and you just play them to collect and then battle the Mon. Black and White's story was moralistic and quite thought provoking and by far N was the best villain of any game. Some Pokemon not used competitively got hidden abilities which made them usable. The legenderies were great too and some of the Pokemon have cool menacing designs such as Kyurem, Zekrom, Conkeldurr, Genesect and the Therian forms of the flying legenderies. I loved how these games had post gane content and so many new legenderies and event mon to catch. I really hope they do the quality remake there games deserve, and not the abysmal cheaply made cash grab of the DP remake. The story is not suited to those awful graphics.
We literally know nothing. There could be an enormous interconnected section underground. This game has been in development for 7 years. Surely it's going to be something special. Mind you TotK for me is the worst Zelda ever.
I played the Virtual.Boy for 10 mins at the Nintendo Museum. It was a horrific experience that left me sick and with a headache. Unless they have fixed the side effects I will not be buying into this. These games would hace been a fir for the 3DS
I was let down by Donkey Kong Bananza. The DK games are known for their challenge and it was too easy. It was not as funny to explore as Mario Odyssey or anywhere near as varied. The ending was great and the postage better but more of that was needed in the main game. The best games on the system were the bid hitters on Switch and an indie game.
It does not feel like a next generation Switch yet. With it having a bot more power than PS4 Pro, I want to see games as graphically great as The Last of Us 2 looked on PS4 Pro.
I think i can see how both look the part. Those talking about hair colour.... hair can be dyed.
Link has historically been a child or a teenager. Some people were commenting about it being a British cast on other sites.... British accents are far better suited to fantasy movies than American. This has always been the case.
Do we think Nintendo will add upgrades to other OG Switch games?
Piking 3, Xenoblade ganes, Bayonetta 3, Astral Chain, Mario Kart 8, Pokemon Swird and Shiekld, Arceus Legends, Metroid Dread etc could all do with a nice free upgrade.
A real missed opportunity. It shoukd have had more unlockables tied to it and a map which details all that's been collected. Without that map it is a chore.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC Scores December Release Date
@Willo567 This game has been super cheap to make. A budget of 13 million. It's only just out and the DLC is coming already.
This was held back as paid content. There is literally no doubt about that.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC Scores December Release Date
@Willo567 Defensive much? In the past Nibtendo stated these kinds of practices were agaibst their ethos, but now sadly this is no longer the case.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC Scores December Release Date
So it was already finished and omitted from the main game. Most mainline zpokemon games are now without any worthwhile postgame content.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Nintendo's Cheapest Switch 2 Edition Yet
How is this only running at 30fps on Switch 2 at 4K? Is the consolevreally that underpowered?
Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
How an earth can a game like animal crossing still only run at 30fps at 4k, when Metroid Prime 4 will do 60fps at 4k?
Minimal effort from Nintendo again

Re: Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake Finally Shows Off Gameplay, Seven Years After Reveal
Why do I feel it doesn't even look as good as Orta from the OG X-Box? I really hope that one is next as it was fantastic.
It all looks basic and barren in this remake.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Gameplay On Switch 2 Emerges From Tokyo Game Show
And to think Pac Man World 2 can't even run at 60fps 1080p is insane
Re: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac Switch And Switch 2 Performance & Resolution Detailed
@sixrings Metroid prime 4 does 4k 60fos or 1080p 120fps. Surely it is powerful enough for a remastered a ps2 game
Re: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac Switch And Switch 2 Performance & Resolution Detailed
@AussieMcBucket It still looks like a PS3 game at best
Re: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac Switch And Switch 2 Performance & Resolution Detailed
So a super old game can only do 4k at 30fps?
