@Quarth it will me something you have to manually add to the map. I added a few map markers in my time spent with the game but obvioustly not the one mentioned in the post. I had 0 issues in my 15 hour play through.

@PortuGuy as i said above, id love to see a boss rush mode. I enjoyed facing Kraid and like you i died a bit. Would be awsome to be able to replay bosses as you like. The only one ive fought multiple times is the end boss due to the game saving just before the battle. I can now beat him untouched which is kinda cool. Id like to be able to do the same with the others.

This is confusing me, which to be fair isnt really hard. I thought each game was being released in seperate physical form to retail stores. So weve got the 1st available to us physically but 2 and 3 are locked behind LRG. Thats me out if im reading that right. I will forfeit portable and get them on ps4. This would have been a nice trilogy to have owned physically without having to wait until im 90 to receive.

100% the game on normal the other day at 15 hours 23mins with no issues. I didnt know these bugs existed. Personally i can kinda get behind the EMMI being a tad frustrating. The blue one being the worst. I did die quite a bit but it didnt take long to learn what to do and where to go to avoid detection. It would have been alot worse if you were put back to a save room after every encounter. You never need to be in an EMMI room for more than a couple of minutes. The EMMI counter wasnt really an issue for me either. Sometimes i would nail 2 counters in a row, sometimes none. Sometimes frustrating but they arnt supposed to be easy. They are supposed to be absolute killing machines that you have little to no hope of survival against and i dont see that as cheap or padding and had a great sence of achievement once i took one down and could freely explore. Boss wise i found the 2 guardians together the hardest part of the game by far. Having to avoid 2 enemy attack at the same time did see me die a good few times but the lack of having to retread old ground upon dying helped alot. Id like to see a boss rush mode introduced to freely battle some of the better ones and hone my skills. After reloading my save i can now beat the final boss taking 0 damage. Overall as its the 2nd Metroid ive ever completed (zero missions back in the day being the first) and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

I wouldnt mind Disco but im not paying that for a digital when i can wait until next year for the physical. Not as if ive not got a back log as long as my leg. If it had been sub £30 i may have bit.

A contribution is a contribution be it 4 months worth or 4 years worth. The missing names in the credits should defenately be patched in. Especially if assets that someone worked on are featured in the final product. Sly dogs.

@Dethmunk well it always worked wit ISS on the N64. No licensing but amazing games.

@Sunanootoko @kobashi100 i didnt know that EA had access to that much. Thanks for the clarification.

Graphically looks very easy on the eye. Never played this one. I always remember playing chuck rock and dying.... Alot.

EA will pay. They dont really have a choice if they want the official name and leagues. So glad i dont buy this drivel. 2 money hungry companies going at it. I wouldnt usually find entertainment out of this but im sure i can muster up some for these 2 companies.

I would need to see that set in the flesh to be able to appreciate its monetary worth. To me it doesnt look all that amazing and most of the time would be spend building the yellow cube. I like the look of the ghostbusters car more personally. I do love me some Mario64 tho.

@Moistnado 😂 this is true. Its funny when you think the switch doesn't even have analog triggers. Id love to get a racing game on the switch but i just dont know how it would play without them.

I wont be buying this Pokemon game. Ive purchased the last couole on switch and have always been left with a same old same old taste in my mouth afterwards. Albeit these newer games are a cake walk. By the time you get to the gym youve naturally over levelled and left with no challenge. Cmon, these gym leaders are supposed to be tough but instead they are no harder than steve, standing in the middle of a field who you battled with 5 minutes earlier.

This looks to be a fun little racer. Will keep my eyes on this one. I could do with a fun racing game on switch but the lack of analogue triggers has kept me from buying one. Im not anout to fork out for an adapter to connect my cube controller. I shouldnt have to in this day and age.

@Moistnado ive just swapped my joycon shells out for some retro snes style ones. It also swaps out the left cons buttons for a Dpad. Absolutely amazing for playing the snes games with.

I thought my 15 hours with 100% completion on normal was pretty good. Then i heard to unlock the art gallery i needed to do a sub 4 hour on hard 😬😬

@Jimmy_G_Buckets "I'd love to see a boss rush mode with a fully upgraded Samus."

Exactly what i said to my friend an hour or so ago. Its a shame we cant replay the boss battles to hone our skills etc. Ive already loaded up my save and beat the last boss 4 times today.

@Kid_Sickarus maybe we should update them to oldfunkadelic and old_sickarus. As you quite correctly pointed out, to know that reference were certainly not kids anymore 🤣

I echoe alot of comments on here. I nejoyed Super with the kids and wife as it was the 1st Mario party that i had played but the 5 boards soon became stale and we only ever played on 4 of them. As a compilation and nod to previous games in the series 5 boards just doesnt cut the mustard. Am i right in thinking previous versions always had more than 5?

@Specter_of-the_OLED just amplify it then it does. Gotta change the game up some how other wise everyone moans that Scorpion is a lame OP character that only cheats use. Btw hes my character of choice. It was also my favorite move. Spear then a classic uppercut. Toastyyyyy (Anyone old enough to have played the origionals will get it)

Im up to the final boss and so far my time with dread has surprised me. Ive only ever beat fusion previously and am not a fan of the genre really. I really like the layout of the map and the different terrains on show and the EMMI add that bit of suspense . The majority of the bosses were great with Kraid and the big lizard guarding the burner being my favorite (chozo guards not so much) only issues ive not been so keen on are the quick time events during boss battles and having to find the sweet spot area for the faster EMMI later in the game. Its bad enough just getting past them let alone trying to work out where they have to be lured to give you enough time to charge your cannon. Also im not keen on the layout of the lifts hsving to go from here to here to here just to get to here. Overall ive enjoyed it alot going in to the game with no expectation. I wasnt even getting it 2 days before launch.

Im almost through to the end now i think. Its a maze of a map with alot going on. Use your map markers to highlight certain spots as you pass them. Also if you press Y on the map screen you can hilight all of a particular thing, like all plasma doors, all grapple points etc. Comes in handy when your stuck and have just got a new addition to your arsenal. Im not shy to confess ive used a walkthrough for a couple of bits as i was also lost and didnt know where to go. Love the game tho and look forward to a speed run afterwards to try better my time.

Dread is a fantastic game. I wasnt sold on it to start with but after a few hours in im loving it. I think the thing with metroid is you either know you want it or know its not going to be for you. Its part and parcel of the genre. Mario is always going to sell well as it appeals to a broader spectrum of ages. I cant see many parents buying dread for the kids to play, can you. Zelda is just zelda. Always gonna sell.

@LukeNI next time go to shopto.net and get it (usually) a day early and cheaper. Had 1 issue with them in about 10 years and as there is a sirect phone number to them it was sorted right away.

I wasnt sold on Dread when i first started it. I still wasnt 2 hours in to it. 4 hours in and i am. Its really good. I do get stuck tho from time to time and not know where to go.

@gaga64 awsome. Thats great to know. Thanks alot.

Forgive me guys as im not a smash player but have thought about getting it recently. Are there limited time sprites that can now never be collected or are they all available. Basically if i got it could i go about collecting them all?

@darkswabber i got stuck on DQ11 at the boss fight at the port when you go to get the ship. Batters me every time.

Got Dread and Monkey ball yesterday so i will be dipping in to both. About 3 hours in to metroid and its enjoyable. Do i love it tho... No,not yet. Ive always had this issue with metroidvanias. Get stuck, dont know where im going then give up. Also about 2/3 of the way through Bayonetta 2. Far, far superior to the origional which to the end i felt out stayed its welcome.

@blockfight i was about to say they didnt test for drift on the OG systems did they? 😂

@ukuneilee also got mine from Argos. Very rarely are they priced higher than anywhere else on a new release. Can often find some cracking little offers in there too.

Makes me laugh how people say its a short game at about 10 hours in length. Yeah, maybe once you know the map like the back of your hand after a few runs of it. Ive put in 3 hours and only just got out of the first area. Its a bloody maze🤣. You will spend 10 hours getting mauled my the E.M.M.I 😂😂

2 hours in and still not countered an E.M.M.I's attack. Pains in the a**😂

Was going to get it then i realised it would end up in the same place as Astral chain and 3 houses collectors edition. In a box under my bed. Didnt bother in the end and just got the standard edition.

@Bret yeah man. Dunno if its out in the US but here in the UK its readily available.

Crikey. How did they get their mits on the blueprint for the switch pro. That HDR 🤤🤤🤤😜

@Bret Argos do it physical with a years online for £19.99. CEX give £7 for the game and ive just kept the 1 years sub so i get a years NSO for£13. Ive purchased and sold a couple in the past and have the codes for when i need them. Best i ever came was 8th lol.

@Bret i agree. Whilst this version may be fantastic they VR version is out of this world. I remember the first time i played it and the dolphin background came on. I literally stopped playing and just watched with my mouth open. But then again, you lose that portability factor.
My problem is im just crap at tetris. Sure i can play the game and clear 100 lines easy enough but when it comes to all those daft T-spins etc, i just cant get to grips with it. Thats why i sold 99. I could never win a match as there were far more superior players in every single game and it just annoyed me as i felt i was getting no better from being stuck in my tetris ways from many years back on the GB.

Didnt pre order, no hype for the game at all, not interested in the slightest... Soooo naturally went and picked it up this morning 😂. £40 from argos along with an un expected purchase of monkey ball. Damn, i hate it when i accidentally search for something on there website, add it to my cart, add my credit card details and confirm the purchase 😂😜. Banging headach when i got back from town tho so didn't start it. 3 tablets later and a little afternoon nanny nap and im all set to start it in an hour or so. As someone that doesnt mind the idea of a metroidvania style game but has never completed one, im looking forward to it.
Anyone want to add me, my friend code is in my bio. Happy gaming everyone and enjoy the upcoming weekend.

Good to see Lost Judgment up there. Not so good to see that cookie cutter crap take the top spot tho.
Got to also remember that the majority of people buying Fifa on the switch probarbly dont know what Legacy edition even entails. Not everyone reads Nintendo life or other gaming media and pressure from kids to get the latest game etc. Legacy edition... Almost makes it sound like some sort of special edition of the game. Very clever. Personally i think it should be called watered down dumb f**k edition.

Never looked in to Disco before but it looks pretty intetesting. Will be picking up Dread tomorrow for sure if i can grab a retail copy

@invictus4000 exactly what i would do. Just file it out wit a nail file. Ironically i dont own a nail file.... Because i bite my nails so dont need one 😂. Maybe a small dermal bit would be better lol.

FIC... Fifa International Casino.
FIC, its in the lootbox... or is it? 🤔

@Anti-Matter "Better solution = Get the games on PS4 version and it saves your day."

Easy for you to say when you (and me) own a PS4. For some people the switch is their only way to game. Also, good luck playing that PS4 on the bus, train, whatever. Also another major reason some people would have chosen to buy the switch.

What shocks me more is that Nintendo even allow cloud based gaming to be a thing on the hybrid home/portable device. It makes a mockery of the the latter and more to the point, us. Should simply be a case of "if our customers cant play it without being connected to a data connection then it cant be on switch" thats just my view on the matter tho and i cant imagine many really care about that.

Running the OG switch and until that dies i will still be running the OG switch. Id love the OLED but its too much for me to pay out for the QOL features id get back in return. I do play some handheld if i decide to game in bed but not enough to justify the upgrade unfortunately.

@nessisonett 😂😂😂👌

@Pokester99 thats interesting. The review states silky smooth and you state frame drops. Id be more inclined to believe you. I will hold out for a switchup review where they go in to these important issues deeper.

I owned Smash when it first came out but didnt get on with it due to my lack of skill (usually pretty good at conventional beat em ups) and i couldnt get on with moving around the maps and the items etc. I guess it just didnt click. Ive been thinking about getting it back for a while tho as my daughter quite liked it. The collector in me would still go physical tho i think.

Would have nabbed this if it was physical. Sure i can get it for ps4 but for me this would be a perfect fit for the switch and something id play on my lunch break at work etc. Cloud based gaming removes this functionality and makes the best reason for owning a switch completely redundant, portability. Massive shame really.

Really like this game. Not picked it up for a while as i got overwhelmed by the grinding for gear etc but its a great game and one that actually got me playing multiplayer.
