@Slideaway1983 Thank you for the brilliant response to my silly post, that made me chuckle

I like buttons

It is beautiful, but I'm saving my money for when Nintendo release their living, cat sized, Meowser onto the world. Hope they will be lead trainable

@Novuscourvous they were one of a few to who Retro outsourced some work, same as this game, but Retro were primary developers

This film looks good

@Elitepatriot You could always go physical and sell it after, you'd make a nice chunk back, making it far cheaper for you.
For me, I'm fine with the price, preordered for £40 on Switch 1 (although can't play till Christmas, as I stated elsewhere I'd like my mother to give me something I truly want, so got it posted to her. Regretting that now) but even if it cost more I'd be cool with it to be honest. I don't judge a games price worth by amount of hours, rather the enjoyment those hours provide.
That said, like other Metroid's I will likely replay this multiple times. Using the latest, Dread has about 80hrs clocked, it's a 10 hour game first time and far, far less on repeat plays. I have also played through Remastered 3 times since it's release. My all time favourite game is Mario World and that only clocks in at 4hrs to 100%, yet I have put more time into that game than any other ever

@Pillowpants gotta get yourself two arm canon pillows to match those pillowpants

Finally all my right arm resting needs are catered for!!!

I posted this on the other actor post but had to post again.

I looked up the two actresses who portray Samus to see who they are as I didn't know by name and some of the photos of Erin Yvette gave me Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) vibes. I had to chuckle, can you imagine Liz Lemon being hired to portray Samus.

Samus turns to the federation troopers "There ain't no party like a Samus Aran party because a Samus Aran party is mandatory"

Hears of a new area "I want to go there"

Shoots and enemy "BLAMMO!!"

@Elitepatriot Honestly, 40hrs would concern me. Metroid games tend to linger between 10-15hrs first playthrough, which I have always found perfect. You never tire of it and the replay value is through the roof.

@NolandC I mean Prime Remastered is more than just an upscale, an upscale of a 2002 game would be Sunshine on 3D All-Stars, Remastered had every asset redone done to make it the most visually stunning game on the OG Switch.
Retro games have always been as smooth as silk and with them building a new game for the hardware from the ground up (despite also becoming a Switch 2 game), I never expected it to run less than 60fps, which it does so wonderfully. The only reason I mentioned that game was because Prime games have always been 60fps and Retro showed that even producing a game so visually stunning as Remastered that that tradition would continue, which it has.
Another company producing Remastered for the OG Switch with how it ended up looking we may have seen 30fps or struggle to maintain 60fps. My comment was merely displaying that I had enough faith in Retro to produce a smooth experience that I expected that smooth experience and they didn't disappoint. I did not mean it to sound like a comparison

@LightSpirit "Don't give a carrot what these boring critics say. I'll play the game and decide for myself"
Very well said. There seems to be to much importance placed on reviews and their scores or other peoples opinions. If something interests you and you believe you might enjoy it, try it and form your own opinion.

@Lizuka When Bowers Fury was released and everyone saying that the next 3D Mario would be open world, I felt the cracks in my heart forming. I don't think Nintendo will go that way to be honest, but there is always the possibility

@canaryfarmer My apologies. Now, if I may, I would like to place my order for my Christmas canary

@canaryfarmer That would have upset a number of OG switch owners who have waited so long. Pitchforks would come out faster than a blast from Samus' arm-cannon and extra sharp as well

@mudmask Yep

So, basically, was spoilt by Switch 2. If that version did not exist then this would be a very different video. I plan on playing on my OLED and it will be gorgeous, then when the day comes to play on Switch 2 it will be even better. I think the Switch 2 should not have been so much a focus here, the difference is obvious and expected, a higher focus on the Switch 1 achievements would have been preferred.

" and I'm not even going to mention the Galactic Federation Troopers once"
@AlexOlney Yeah that counts, mate

@jfp Absolutely. For a game like this, it's about the world and it's beauty, 60fps is more than good enough, no need sacrificing that beauty for 120fps

@sportymariosonicmixx Any game that is for the Switch 1 but is also sold as a Switch 2 edition, the Switch 2 edition cartridge work on the Switch 1, only without any benefits, be that upgrades to performance or additional content. The Switch 2 Editions are basically a Switch 1 game on the cartridge with the downloadable content for Switch 2 on the cartridge as well.
Any games that are made for Switch 2 exclusively i.e Donkey Kong, Outlaws etc will not be compatible at all

Switch 1, it runs fantastically so fine with that. I have yet to get a Switch 2, first time I haven't bought a Nintendo console on day 1, as at the moment only DK is of real interest to me, so I'm fine to hold off till another big hitter or two I want drops. Plenty of life in my OLED yet.

@TomSupreme reading that comment as if you were not talking about a game makes it seem like you have one crazy life!

@NolandC Just posted this on the review page, but it's a comparison video between S1 and S2 if your interested

Edit would help if I put the link in

Comparison video between S1 and S2 for those interested

@NolandC Given what they did with Prime Remastered I certainly was expecting 60fps, I think Nintendo and Retro knew they would get a lot of criticism and backlash if not. Retro seem to have that magic touch, as they have previously proved. My concern was with the open area, corridors etc were always going to run lovely, but the open area could prove troublesome. Seems like some pop-in here and there is a fine trade off to keep things smooth.
As for most other Switch 1 games, yeah, I never expect past 30fps to be honest and as for LA and EoW, I simply don't understand how they are not smooth. Certainly shows the difference between Grezzo and Retro.
Anyway, what ever Switch you pick it up on, if you do, I hope you have fun!

@NolandC As stated above, IGN commented in their review, saying "it runs at an impressive 60fps on the old hardware".
To be expected, it is at heart a Switch 1 game that has a good bump in resolution etc for Switch 2

@NolandC it runs at 60fps on Switch 1 and whilst a graphical downgrade compared to Switch 2, it is still stunning

@sportymariosonicmixx Switch 2 EDITIONS, not Switch 2 games. So, if you buy Kirby Forgotten land for Switch2 then the cart will play in a Switch 1, just without the extra content and bells and whistles

@a1904 I hope you do enjoy it when/if you ever you play it and if not, well there is always the older ones to keep going back to

@a1904 I mean I have concerns with how dialogue will go in this game, I did when they showed the footage a couple of weeks ago, but the game was always ging to be and by the sounds of it, is awesome. Would be a shame for you to miss out because of a small fraction of the game. I mean, I presume your a Metroid fan, if not, well, I'll shut up

@Olliemar28 Any question?? What's your favourite cheese?
Seriously, thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it, I look forward to my time with Samus.

I am not one for stuff, never really want anything and prefer the simple things in life. I don't own much really as I don't long for things. It can make me impossible to buy a gift for, what do you get someone who doesn't want anything. However, every now and then something does appear that a truly desire and this, being apart of my one of my top two favourite gaming series is precisely that. So, instead of being able to play this in a a days (plus) time, I have decided to let my mother dearest buy her 44year old son a gift he truly wants. So, as a result I will be waiting till Christmas Day for my copy, which is quite cool really, it will harken back to the days of being excited to unwrap DuckTales or TMNT and I really look forward to feeling that child like glee on Christmas Eve of the anticipation of what is to come.
Still, I have to wait and that sucks!!!! Hope you all enjoy!!!

I used to use the fax machine to send stuff to TV channels etc. Disney channel showed quite a few of my drawing I did, my sister was younger and she loved to see them on her favourite channel.
Made me chuckle he had to explain what a fax machine does "came out very slowly from a printer". My dad finally got rid of his last year, only due to a move to another country mind or I'm sure he'd still have it (only phone and answer phone use, not fax)
@RupeeClock That's a good bit of information right there. I love that they still use them.
@EarthboundBenjy she just wants some excitement, so trying to incite an angry, pitchfork wielding mob to her door for the kicks

I have no idea who any of these people are. I mean I enjoy me some Ryukahr and have done for countless years as he was the only one who didn't scream and shout when they were all starting out back then. I know the names of some others but not really watched them (again like to chill not have someone screaming every five minutes), but not a single one here.

"Lots of tedious quest design" is the answer you should give to be instantly hired when having an interview with Ubisoft and the question arises "What do you think makes a good game?"

@Noelemahc Just not my cup of tea. Think I'd get irritated by it as the game goes on. Not putting a slight against the idea, many will love it, it's just not for me.

Thankfully doesn't unlock anything I consider of worth, well, depending on the alternate colours for Vi-o-la, but even then doesn't matter.

@Noelemahc I was tempted to get the Mummy upon release and again in the recent sale, but that death mechanic doesn't appeal to me and I didn't want another part finished game. I know it is similar to Infestations deaths, but it took it to the next level

@Potimarron That's why people went nuts over the announcement and release of Dread. We waited soooooo very long!! A new Metroid game was amazing news as it was, but when the word Dread revealed itself it was a very special moment.

I played through the game twice, once upon release and again about 7-8 years ago on the 3DS. Was a good little game, think those2 playthroughs were enough though and I sold my copy a couple of years or so ago as a result.
To anyone who hasn't played it, I concur with PJ that it is well worth it.

I was wondering why I was woken to profanity's being screamed from all directions, then I see Battletoads has been released.
All good games here, despite Battletoads difficulty.
Kid Icarus on GB is well worth a shot for those that haven't tried it before and is better than the NES game in every way, although I actually still prefer the NES game. Bionic Commando on GB was my first taste of the games, tried the NES one a good few years after GB, both are fun. If you like the NES game, the one most people have played, the GB one is well worth a go.

I think gameplay etc will be spot on, the only problem I have still is the over clean 'cheap' looking graphic style. It's so close to looking good but it needs some grit.

@PJOReilly Typo, aunt current has it.
Unless you have an Aunt Current, then please forgive me

It was a fine game and glad I have it played before, but so much gun blazing that just goes on and on. I have been wondering whether it's worth a replay but considering I was put off playing the others due to this one, I think I should pass. I think it was the third one that had a more traditional feel, so if ever that arrives I will try that one.

Article says 15years but trailer says 17years

Are they named after the duck/fowl goldeneye?? If so Mighty Ducks and Bond Goldeneye, great pool to being diving into for stuff like this

@jake1421 I have to wonder if what you said about the boring late stages and run time is part of why I feel the way do about this game (as stated in the comment above). It does feel like it was artificially lengthened in the last third

TMNT NES is my favourite. I love the varied gameplay, music is banging, I love how the Turtles look in it and the fact it's a blend of the original comics and the animated show. Sure it's tough, but the game rewards future planning and is really rather short.
As for Shredder's Revenge, when it released I would have said it's the best Turtles beat em up ever, however, now some time as passed I don't think that is true. I keep coming back to likes of Hyperstone Heist or Manhattan Project, but honestly don't think I'm too bothered to play SR again. I can't explain it but the artwork feels kinda off somehow and honestly, whilst that first month with it at release was great, I find the game tiring and a bit of a chore now. I tried booting it up last week and just got that 'I really can't' feeling after a minute.

Lost me at roguelike, shame as I may have had an interest otherwise. Hope those that go for it enjoy themselves
