@Anti-Matter I'm glad to hear some people got enjoyment out of it. I still haven't been able to beat it due to its slow-paced and bizarre missions that don't really fit the franchise. When I think Metroid, I don't think "protect the convoy" or "play golf to activate a system". Might get round to beating it one of these days.
@BloodNinja Of course it's worth it, Metroid Dread is the exact game a significant majority of Metroid fans have wanted for 19 years. This isn't a soulless spinoff like Federation Force, this is what the fans want.
I've been wanting Metroid 5 for over a decade and a half, so you can imagine what I voted for. Finally some payoff for that "See you next mission" in Fusion!
I've been getting back into Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. What a game! I really hope Explorers of Sky gets remade after the gen 4 remakes come out
@Anti-Matter Fair enough. Personally, I find the pixel art packs a lot of charm. There's something so special about gen 4. I'm really excited for these remakes.
@Lagster_YT You should try some out for sure. I'd say Ocarina, Wind Waker or Twilight Princess are safer games to try after botw, but you might enjoy Skyward Sword.
When I get a moment free, I'll go back to Mario Maker 2. Maybe some Stardew and Animal Crossing too. Quite tempted to continue Broken Hour on PC, but if I do that then it'll take up a full day
I'd love to be able to play Skyward Sword without waggling my arm every time I had to use the sword, but unfortunately, I don't see that happening. Still looking forward to the eventual remaster though
I haven't finished it yet either due to my insane backlog. Saying that I will try to fully complete it. The Hyrule Warriors prequel has given me the drive
@sketchturner Yup! It has online multiplayer due to lockdown. I presume you can only play with friends, but it's easy enough to exchange friend codes on discord or something

Re: Marvelous Celebrates 15 Years Of The Rune Factory Series With A Special Anniversary Video
I'm avoiding the series until gay marriage is a thing. Even Story of Seasons allows it nowadays, Rune Factory has no excuse.
Re: Gallery: Feast Your Eyes On 20 New Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Screenshots
I'm playing through Platinum for the first time in anticipation. Much more enjoyable than Gen 8, in my opinion.
Re: Talking Point: Which Pokémon Legends: Arceus Starter Are You Going To Pick?
Cyndaquil because Typhlosion is my favourite Pokemon
Re: Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins Has Arrived On Nintendo Switch
Fantastic! This was an enjoyable little game, though I still hold out hope for a proper Doctor Who game someday
Re: Picross S Genesis & Master System Edition Could Be Puzzle Perfection For SEGA Fans
I haven't even beaten S1
Re: Samurai Warriors 5 Is Out Today On Switch, Here's The Launch Trailer
I'm sure I'll get this at some point, but I still have both Hyrule Warriors titles and Persona 5 Strikers to get through first.

Re: Nintendo Leak Reveals Scrapped Wii Games, Including A Metroid Title From Intelligent Systems
And yet we got Federation Force. There is no justice in the world
Re: Deals: Grab A Free Gift Bundle When You Pre-Order Metroid Dread From Nintendo's UK Store
Excellent, pre-ordered the special edition a while ago
Re: Random: Internet Goes Wild Over One Incredibly Small Detail In Metroid Dread
@BloodNinja Then don't and move on. No need to comment on every Metroid Dread article. Problem solved.
Re: Video: Are 2D Games Worth $60? Jon, Alex And Zion Share Their Own Thoughts
@BloodNinja Of course it's worth it, Metroid Dread is the exact game a significant majority of Metroid fans have wanted for 19 years. This isn't a soulless spinoff like Federation Force, this is what the fans want.
Re: Talking Point: Our Favourites From E3 2021
I've been wanting Metroid 5 for over a decade and a half, so you can imagine what I voted for. Finally some payoff for that "See you next mission" in Fusion!
Re: Metroid Dread Tops Amazon's "Best Sellers" Chart
@Hordak It really doesn't. Best to leave Super's dramatic ending intact. We don't want Mother Brain to become Ridley or Bowser.
Re: Metroid Dread Tops Amazon's "Best Sellers" Chart
@Snatcher I look forward to reading your thoughts on it. How are you getting on with Super Metroid?
Re: Rune Factory 5's Local Switch Release Arrives "Early" In 2022
I would have bought it, but the decision to not include gay marriage isn't one I can support. Even Story of Seasons has it, what's this game's excuse?
Re: Feature: What's Your Most Treasured Club Nintendo Possession?
Perhaps unsurprisingly my Animal Crossing K.K. album
Re: 7 Horizons Aims To Bring 'Rayman Meets Mega Man' To Switch This Year
Not terribly impressed by the trailer. The art style is bland and lazy.
Re: Rune Factory 5 Live Stream To Share New Info Ahead Of Next Week's Japanese Release
Hopefully, they'll include gay marriage. My gut tells me they won't though.
Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Now 21 Years Old In Japan
It's also the 29th anniversary of the Kirby franchise
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has Been Delayed (Again)
I thought this was coming out on New Year's Eve. That is the listed release date on amazon
Re: Monster Harvest, A Pokémon-Meets-Stardew Valley Game, Is Ploughing Its Way Toward Switch
Good premise, but in my opinion the art style is underwhelming. The characters just look...off
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Day-One Patch To Address Demo Feedback
Well, there goes any hope of Square Enix doing another platformer
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 13th)
I've been getting back into Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. What a game! I really hope Explorers of Sky gets remade after the gen 4 remakes come out
Re: The Pokémon Company Has Given Piplup Official Twitter And Instagram Accounts
Piplup is going to be my starter for sure
Re: Feature: Why Zelda: Link’s Awakening Is Literally My Dream Game
Link's Awakening has such a homely feel to it. It pulls you in in a way that few games can match
Re: PSA: Switch Online Members Can Now Claim Some More Smash Bros. Ultimate Freebies
That's kinda cool. I'll need to pick them up later
Re: Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires Has Been Delayed, With No Solid Release Date Given
I'm busy enough with both Hyrule Warriors games. Kinda interested in getting Persona though

Re: Xenoblade Developer Monolith Soft Wants To Hire The Class Of 2022 For Their Next Game
Please be a Xenoblade X Switch port. I'd buy four copies of it if needs be
Re: Video: Check Out This Side-By-Side Comparison Of Pokémon Diamond And Pearl On Switch And DS
@Anti-Matter Fair enough. Personally, I find the pixel art packs a lot of charm. There's something so special about gen 4. I'm really excited for these remakes.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 1.8.0 Is Now Available - Super Mario Items And More
I'm looking forward to using the warp pipe. Let's-a-go!
Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Look At The Switch Box Art For Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
@Lagster_YT You should try some out for sure. I'd say Ocarina, Wind Waker or Twilight Princess are safer games to try after botw, but you might enjoy Skyward Sword.
Re: First 4 Figures Reveals Metroid "Samus Helmet" Statue
If it was even vaguely affordable, I'd consider it. Unfortunately, it won't be
Re: Review: Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection - A Masochistic Medieval Marvel
Ghosts n Goblins are coming for you tonight!
Re: Expect To Hear More About Zelda's 35th Anniversary This Summer, Says Industry Insider
@Zorox88 You mean Oracle of Ages, right?
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fans Will Want To Tune Into Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct
Thanks for the warning. I'll not be watching it with chat then
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 13th)
Animal Crossing, Mario 3D World and possibly some Stardew Valley
Re: Among Us Quickens Masahiro Sakurai's Pulse, But He's Not Sure How Long It Will Remain Popular
Here comes the onslaught of "____ for Smash!" comments
Re: Review: Persona 5 Strikers - Much More Than Your Average Musou Spin-Off
8/10? I never saw that coming
Re: Mini Review: Glyph - Takes Metroid Prime's Morph Ball Ability And Turns It Into An Entire Game
@Pod Thanks for the reply! Might pick this one up
Re: Mini Review: Glyph - Takes Metroid Prime's Morph Ball Ability And Turns It Into An Entire Game
Is it just me or does this look similar to Morphite? I wonder why so many 3D Metroid-inspired titles have this art style
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 6th)
When I get a moment free, I'll go back to Mario Maker 2. Maybe some Stardew and Animal Crossing too. Quite tempted to continue Broken Hour on PC, but if I do that then it'll take up a full day
Re: Mike Pollock Will Continue To Voice Dr. Eggman In The Sonic Video Games
Sonic wouldn't be Sonic without him
Re: Remember Castaway Paradise, The Animal Crossing-Meets-Farming Game? It's Finally Coming To Switch
I'd give it a try, but I'm not a fan of that art style. Wild World looks better than this
Re: Modders Just Made It Possible To Play Skyward Sword Inside Breath Of The Wild
I'd love to be able to play Skyward Sword without waggling my arm every time I had to use the sword, but unfortunately, I don't see that happening. Still looking forward to the eventual remaster though
Re: Hands On: We've Played Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, And Here's What We Think So Far
Just over a fortnight to go! I can't wait to play this with a better controller. Never liked the Wii U one for platformers
Re: Nintendo Unveils Monster Hunter Rise Special Edition Switch Console
I'd happily get a second pro controller for this! And a third if Xenoblade X is ever ported and gets a custom one.
Re: Soapbox: I Never Completed Breath Of The Wild, And I Never Will
I haven't finished it yet either due to my insane backlog. Saying that I will try to fully complete it. The Hyrule Warriors prequel has given me the drive
Re: Super Mario 3D World's Platforming Will Be "Snappier" On Switch, Gyro Support Included
@sketchturner Yup! It has online multiplayer due to lockdown. I presume you can only play with friends, but it's easy enough to exchange friend codes on discord or something
Re: Feature: 6 Huge Video Game Franchises Missing From Nintendo Switch
Metroid is currently missing from Switch. The original and Super Metroid do not count, they're untouched ports
