The question is do I get vouchers and then upgrade Prime? Problem is that might not actually be a good deal when you consider the other games I would want have probably been on sale at some point and would've been cheaper to buy individually

@Yoshi3 the Prime games in and of themselves are pretty separated from the feeling of the true series

I've never been excited for this because they are not making a sequel, they are making a completely different type of game with some familiar characters. It's like saying Dr. Mario is a sequel to SMB3

Be perfectly ok if they just made 2D Metroid games instead.

What a bizarre system

@delanoche I want a dedicated button to call his name, like in Heavy Rain yelling for Shaun

@Serpenterror you know how much shovelware is put on steam every day? Probably more than the eShop gets in a year

Roughly 22 million gamecubes sold. Will this get to 2 million?

I like the controller but I have major issues with snap back, where if say a boss in ninja gaiden was on the left side of the screen I'd turn to attack and when I let go of the stick my character would turn to the right

Um, it's Yoshi. I don't even know what you're talking about with the eyes.

If I didn't play the demo I would have considered this on sale, but now I know it 100% isn't for me. I've never been unsold on something so quickly. That's not too say anything of it's quality, just that I don't have any desire to play this again

The next good Crash game will be the first good Crash game

"Why didn't they focus on characters that have not had 1/1000th of the online popularity of Lady D?" - people online. SMH

Regardless of how much effort went into getting these all together the games are not worth anywhere near $60 at this point. I grew up playing 1 thru Ultimate but I wouldn't pay that to play those again and the other titles are real bad. Not to mention who has any desire to play game boy versions

So is the Switch version not getting the update?

The town building stuff made this so tedious

Kind of funny that a company so many people love like FromSoft would benefit from reaching out to a company many people hate in Ubisoft for advice on how to port games to the Switch 2

I'm confused how this game could have been in beta or early access or whatever and they still ended up on these hard to see font colors and extremely tiny lettering on some menus. Fun game with almost nothing in the UI done even slightly well. Even the level select is not clear

The Prime games are not anywhere near as good as the true mainline Metroid games, but I'm looking forward to playing 4. Might end up being the first time I ever use the controller in mouse mode

While I've never been a game pass guy, the huge increase in cost it just had really hurts the value of this as well I think

Right now it doesn't look like something that's less than a year from release, even with only 12 characters. I can't imagine a lot of people are looking to spend any real money on a game with such a small cast before being expecting to shell out more

It would have to be A LOT better than the original to be anywhere near an 8 to me but I'll never know because the original left such a bad taste in my mouth

I did not care for the demo for this. It felt awkward and like there was not great ways to avoid getting hit and the weapons didn't feel fun or that different from each other

@deKay free patches according to polygon review

How could they "represent 3D Mario at its absolute peak" and be 9/10?

@vyseofhr it was docked a point

Since my Sony electronics (TV, PS5, and PSVR2) were the only things that died in a lightning strike I'm glad this is shaping up well for Switch 2

Finally getting around to Brothership

Nothing divisive about the music though, it slaps. The game gets goofily difficult and wildly unfair toward the end which makes it not very good

Would make sense if you weren't punished severely for not going back to where you died in these games

I'm worried because they're barely showing it and not even bothering to do voice over in the trailer like literally every other game in the direct had. It's been a middle of the direct dump a couple times now, and I personally think the prime games already aren't as good as 2D Metroid. But I'll get it and I'm sure get some enjoyment from it. Thinking of getting game vouchers for it and then paying the $10 upgrade cost but not sure what I'd use the other voucher on. Maybe Kirby and then get the $20 upgrade for that

If it's anything like Hollow Knight it's a 6/10 at best

This has been added to the game voucher list. Considering buying the pair and getting this and Kirby and the Forgotten world. Save $20 as opposed to Jay buying the switch 2 versions outright

I could maybe forgive the needed accessory IF the entire lineup was out day 1. I couldn't imaging owning this thing for 2 years and still only having like 7 of the available games

I really don't understand the "I don't like one thing so I'm giving up on everything" mindset. I didn't think it made any sense to re-release DKC Returns HD or whatever at all, let alone at the price they wanted. I hate that over the last 4 or 5 years Nintendo had really prioritized JRPG Xeno junk on the system. But I just don't buy that stuff. I don't say I'm done with Nintendo as a company because I don't agree with everything they do.

By far the best part of the direct

Every direct i just say, "please don't end with some lame JRPG like fire emblem" and yet I know 95% of directs end with some lame jrpg

@Ichiban fart riders is a great idea. Different foods give different farts for speed boosts, leave behind a stench trail, or the Arby's Cheddar meal where you spin people out with your "i guess that wasn't just a fart" power

They didn't say that description is for Metroid Prime 4, it's the blanket of what makes a game T for Teen. Animated Violence, Blood, and In game purchases are the reasons MP4 got it, not depicting gambling or strong language

The comparisons to Nintendo are so dumb. Would you like Nintendo to make one game every 7 years and only employ 3 people? A Nintendo game doesn't need to just make enough to support a single college dorm room worth of people. It's supporting an entire company, including the people working on other games until those are done to pick up the cycle.

It was an interesting is that sadly didn't turn out interesting in the end. Needed to be edited way down

But why do you think you'd only shout the last word in Princess Peach: Showtime! or Warioware: Move It!? Not to mention an exclamation point after showtime or move it both seem like completely logical times to use one

I mean, 6 years is a long time to wait for something people backed on kickstarter. And I don't forgive them the "it's a 3 person team" argument either because they could hire people. But it's nice that they finally finished it. Of course they are already hyping post launch content before the game is out, just like some major developers who would be getting a hard time for doing the same thing

Giving Hollow Knight another go as I always bounce off early. Still not immediately loving it but this time am using a guide because the punishment for getting lost and dying early in the game is way too high. Hopefully if I make it far enough to get more items it will grab me

Having never played the original I'm not sold on this yet. I need to see that it has way more depth than what they showed. The parts I've seen look fun, but for like a couple of hours maybe.

It's a pretty bad "game" though. The experience was cool and unique once but the gameplay was a boring chore and the visuals were bad for the GameCube

7 for me because I've never played the original and while this looks fun it didn't convince me it's worth being the big holiday title of the Switch 2's first year

One of the best games ever made. It's a shame Nintendo didn't do right by the franchise after the first game. I was able to sell my copy for nearly $200 to help pay for my Switch 2

$60 is crazy expensive

@Burning_Spear Nintendo games are always on the cart
