I finally fixed the drift on my Pro controller, at least for the time being, but I had to take it completely apart and get some contact cleaner right into the mechanism, but at least it's holding up for now
It's ridiculous how badly made the Switch controllers are. My Pro controller is now unusable due to drift and one set of my joycons is starting to do the same. What a waste of money
@technotreegrass that's no excuse, I'm pretty sure the winner was as well! I came second but as soon as I found out it was 200cc in the final I knew I was done for. I'm just no good at it!
I figured Nintendo would release it and hardly release any 'new exclusives' much like the dsi as they wouldn't want to split the user base so I was planning to avoid it. However, they got me with the ambassador version and made me look a right chump.
My favourite Metroid. Loved this gave so much, only eventually beating it recently as I could never beat the SA-X. The SA-X makes this game terrifying and in my opinion better than Super Metroid.
Finally played this through and completed it last year on an original cart on the SNES. Think I still prefer Fusion but this is also a fantastic game and clearly gave Fusion a way forward.
Yeah, I got this yesterday and was disappointed from the moment I switched on. Single player is ridiculously cumbersome and like the review I can't fathom why the whistle was removed. After playing a few levels I went back and played Four Swords which was infinitely better. On the one occasion I managed to connect up with other people who had the game it was laggy in places but much more fun than the single player. Poor stuff Nintendo.
Yeah, I noticed it this morning and got two 3DS home themes. After that though they did discontinue it and there was a message saying so and asking you to sign up for email updates about the successor. Looks like it's been revived again. It's the undead club Nintendo!!
Just noticed my pending transactions on my Barclaycard have jumped £300 overnight. Good job I paid by credit card. Am on to the bank at the moment as they'll inevitably fix it faster than GAME and with less mess ups.
Urgh. It's so annoying having to wait in the queues to speak to an assistant just to get a code. Then they don't have any idea what you're on about and have to ask someone else who has no idea. Besides I already have like 50 Charizards from previous events. Give me a Mew!
I'd love a new 2D Metroid. Fusion is simply the best Metroid out. I bought a SNES last year just to play Super Metroid as I didn't have a Wii U at the time. I also started playing Other M and found it enjoyable enough. I'd never really got on with the Prime games although I bought the trilogy when it was re-released on the Wii U and was enjoying it until I took a break for some Zelda.
Excellent, I thought this was going to be a lean year for the 3DS but hopefully Nintendo will focus on it and bring out some great games. I was really annoyed that Nintendo shafted 3DS owners by putting GBA games on the Wii U eshop. This could go some way to placating my rage.
Much prefer the 2D Metroids to the 3D ones. My first Metroid was Fusion which I love. Bought a SNES recently to play Super Metroid. Have dabbled with Metroid 1 & 2 and completed Zero Mission. I've never really gotten anywhere on Prime and not played 2 or 3 or zero mission.
Well, I think I'll be ordering just the game then. I already have Links Awakening (the original) and I don't think all the extras are worth £18 anyway.
Whilst we don't get these rewards and the Club Nintendo stuff in Europe is a load of tat, I'm fairly happy with my equivalent reward of 3 games worth of 'Club Nintendo' points for a full retail download
