I think the reason this game is so diverse is that its the kind of game that will have reviewers and gamers going in with vastly different expectations of what they will be expecting. Some will compare the co-op style of gameplay to others on 3DS (where in which it will look like a good game as competition is weak) others will compare to different platforms PC, PS4, Xbone etc (where it will look most likely not that great just average) then there is the case of it sharing the Metroid name which for the most part carries high expectations of a sense of great exploration and feelings of being a lone experiencing a great journey which this game just isn't about. I feel the game would have been better off an original title just due to the fact people would have gone in more open minded myself included.
Honestly this is like a bad version of Rocket League, I gave it a fair shot but its just so dull and not that fun. Nintendo should just get Rocket League on Wii U or something.

Re: Soapbox: Monster Hunter World Has Claimed Its Prize, But Capcom Shouldn't Forget Nintendo
Feel like PSP is what actually made MH what it is today, 3DS kept it alive and further build a fanbase in West though.
Re: We're Recruiting For Our Splatoon 2 UK Championship Grand Final Team!

Re: Guide: How To Beat Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Hardest Shrine Quest, Eventide Island
You can just use a raft to reach the island if you lack stamina.
Re: Nintendo of America Reveals a Lovely Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition

Re: There Are Now Over 100 Games from 70+ Developers in the Works for Nintendo Switch

Re: EA's Peter Moore Insists FIFA Switch Is "Custom Built" Following Last-Gen Engine Rumour
@Damo You're right, the bigger problem was that Wii U version wasn't actually FIFA 13 it was instead basically FIFA 12 with the current season roster.
Re: Gallery: New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Screenshots Look Pretty Fresh
@dumedum It's same game with basically added dlc, nothing wrong with that if it looks like enough to buy again.

Re: Rumour: GameCube Virtual Console Is Coming To The Nintendo Switch, Early Games Outlined
They should just straight up remaster Melee for Switch.
Re: GameSeek Offers 'Price Guarantee' Nintendo Switch Pre-Order for Just Under £200
They take money straight away and not on dispatch plus I've heard questionable things about them, personally I wouldn't order from them.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch To Start At £199.99 In United Kingdom, $329.99 In Canada
£200 seems the highest price it should be for the base version, honestly if it's more most people won't give it a chance.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Wii U Production Is Coming To A Close
And yet the west never had the opportunity to buy gamepads separately. -_-
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Version Exclusives Leaked Online
These days version exclusive Pokemon basically don't matter with online being a thing.

Re: Nintendo Confirms List Of Third Party Supporters For Nintendo Switch
Spoony_Tech has replied now so stop tagging him people, lol.
Re: Nintendo Confirms List Of Third Party Supporters For Nintendo Switch

Re: Legend of Kusakari Releases in the West on 25th August
God that trumpet (or whatever) was truly awful.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force is Now Available to Pre-load in North America
If reviews are good it will move up to my maybe list but otherwise just too many games out to be buying lemons even if it has Metroid in the title.
Re: Sources Suggest That Pokémon and Mario Will Arrive on Nintendo NX in First Six Months
I'm in no rush to buy NX honestly, really after the Wii U I see no benefit as a consumer buying something like this on say launch night.
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon May Be Winding Down, But Its Legacy Could Be Significant
@andregurov Although I agree with you to an extent discord has kind of filled the VC whole and the community mainly uses that.
Re: Metroid Prime: Blast Ball Gets Surprise Release, for Free, on the 3DS eShop
Honestly this is like a bad version of Rocket League, I gave it a fair shot but its just so dull and not that fun. Nintendo should just get Rocket League on Wii U or something.
Re: Watch: The Finals of Super Smash Bros. Melee at Evo 2016 - Live!

Re: SGDQ Speedrunner's 3DS Dies During Live Run of New Super Mario Bros 2.
@Yasume Nintendo's fault for still keeping quiet about NX.
Re: Splatoon's Last Splatfest is Next Month
@JamesCoote squidboards, various discords and r/Splatoon, that is the Splatoon community and it's decently sized and active. We also have a thread here that was pretty active but has quietened down a bit.

Re: Nintendo Outlines Ambitious Plans For UK's Hyper Japan Festival 2016
@Peace-Boy Yeah I can see how it better for northerners to have a more centralised location but it was so easy for me to get to before.
