NES Metroid was my first and I loved it. I didn't play most of the series after until Prime 3, Other M and Dread. I liked all of them, but still haven't played super metroid, prime 1/2 or the others.
I loved what I saw, will no doubt buy it and I haven't bought a sonic game since adventure 2. I think their decision to show random gameplay videos without a proper trailer that gives it context was a mistake and causing the poor reactions.
I don't know exactly why but Hyrule warriors was way more enjoyable for me than age of calamity. I think a lot of it was my enjoyment of the adventure maps. But even the main story of Hyrule warriors was much better for me.
The switch is 5 years old. The capability at the time was just fine but it's aging quickly. I'm not a gfx snob but games like Zelda and Metroid deserve to look good as they always have.
@Yorumi totally uncalled for. for your info I'm also a PC gamer and fine with upgrading components and fixing issues but this is marketed as a handheld and the average user is not going to want to replace parts all the time. You're defending a defective component.
Might be my least favorite direct from Nintendo. A lot of remakes of games I've already played or not interested in, ports, and DLC. Kirby looks interesting but we already knew that, and not a Splatoon or xenogears fan. It dodged all the franchises I enjoy. At least ff6 pr releases soon on PC.
It seems too early for a new Mario kart. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a new 3D Mario teaser. Also, botw2 is practically a must - name and release date.
We are past due for a full trailer of botw2 with a title and release date. It's gotta be early this year. They'll have other big titles for holiday like Bayonetta. I'm guessing April or May, earlier could impact Kirby sales.
That's a ridiculously harsh punishment. I don't agree at all with what he did but a month in jail and a hefty fine seems more appropriate. Six years for a small non violent crime is outrageous.
Looks like it nearly uses the same assets. Not that I'm complaining, if it's fun I'll definitely get it. Also, the song sounds a lot like Aerith's theme from ff7 at parts.
Definitely agree with this soapbox. People who use the phrase are ignorant of how projects like these work, and are just resorting to insults to deal with being upset.
For me, a lot of older games don't hold up very well because of controls and their interface. That said for me the biggest draw is shining force. But still not going for this expansion.
More employees who don't want to address the issue in the appropriate way so they turn to public internet mobbing where you start out guilty. People just love to air out their dirty laundry!
The inclusion of AC content really irritates me. Obvious marketing strategy to get more sales both for AC and NSO+. I'm not interested in AC at all. May cancel NSO altogether.
@Jayvir I got past that part but there was one you have to destroy with the omega canon and I cannot find a spot where I get enough room to stun it before it gets to me. Seems like I've tried everything and just kind of over it.
I've enjoyed the game, but the later EMMI parts are too difficult for me. I used to love games like this, but at this point I play games more to relax than to play something with high difficulty.
Not terribly interested. Only Castlevania interests me and it doesn't need a "reimagining" that's how we got lords of shadow, which was fine I guess but not really a good Castlevania. Now that Iga is making games we basically have the Castlevaniai want. Maybe they'll prove me wrong.
I haven't played it since the Dreamcast original release. I haven't touched it since, I'm afraid it would have aged very poorly. But a new coat of paint and interface update would be an instant buy for me.
Child of light deserves so much more recognition for its story and music. I would love a sequel. Aurora's theme was a fantastic choice! I should replay this soon.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?
They all sounded great! Looking forward to watching, and not being a scrooge about it
Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?
Was impressed by everything - animation, Bowser, Mario, voice acting, all of it.
Re: Wizorb Brings Fantasy-Style Breakout To Switch Next Month
Wow, I played this on Steam forever ago. Fun game.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Game Ranked
Hard to believe sword of vermillion rated so poorly. It's one of my favorite Genesis games, even after playing through again last year.
Re: Retro's Mysterious Zelda Spin-Off 'Project X' Apparently Had A Playable Prototype
How do you further simplify whack a mole? It's pretty much as basic as it gets.
Re: Talking Point: How Were You Introduced To Metroid?

Re: Developers Don't Take Kindly To EA's Single-Player Gag On Twitter
I'm not a fan of EA and I only play single player games but people generally need to chill.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Will Take About 20 - 30 Hours To Complete
I haven't been a sonic fan since sonic 1-3 and adventure 1 and 2. But I can't wait to play this. May bring me back to the sonic series.
Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Frontiers Won't Be Delayed, Says Fans "Don't Understand" It
The negativity about this game is crazy. I am pretty excited to play it.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Netflix's New Castlevania Series
I wish they would do a live action Castlevania. With Simon as the main guy. That would be perfect.
Re: Talking Point: Should Sonic Frontiers Be Delayed? We Discuss Its Bizarre Debut And Fan Reaction
I loved what I saw, will no doubt buy it and I haven't bought a sonic game since adventure 2. I think their decision to show random gameplay videos without a proper trailer that gives it context was a mistake and causing the poor reactions.

Re: Memory Pak: Forget Zelda And Mario, Thumper Was The Biggest Surprise Of 2017
I love thumper. I'll never get past level 4 or 5, whichever started having multiple lanes, but before that it's a blast.
Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
The switch is 5 years old. The capability at the time was just fine but it's aging quickly. I'm not a gfx snob but games like Zelda and Metroid deserve to look good as they always have.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii Receives GDC Lifetime Achievement Award
Well deserved. We should be getting some dq3 remake news soon. And dq12 news would be nice.
Re: Final Fantasy's 35th Anniversary Website Hints At New Projects
@fafonio I gave up on that hope when they did ff6 pixel remaster. I can't see them doing another release.

Re: Random: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Steam Deck And Switch Might Have One Thing In Common
@Savage_Joe
True, I sometimes forget switch lite is a thing.
Re: Random: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Steam Deck And Switch Might Have One Thing In Common
Ouch. That would require an entire system replacement. At least with other consoles it's just the controller.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2022 Nintendo Direct - Every Game Reveal And Trailer
Might be my least favorite direct from Nintendo. A lot of remakes of games I've already played or not interested in, ports, and DLC. Kirby looks interesting but we already knew that, and not a Splatoon or xenogears fan. It dodged all the franchises I enjoy. At least ff6 pr releases soon on PC.

It seems too early for a new Mario kart. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a new 3D Mario teaser. Also, botw2 is practically a must - name and release date.

Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 9th February 2022
Time for a full Zelda trailer and release date!
Re: US Government Wants Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Locked Up For Five Years
That's a ridiculously harsh punishment. I don't agree at all with what he did but a month in jail and a hefty fine seems more appropriate. Six years for a small non violent crime is outrageous.
Re: Zelda-Inspired Adventure 'Airoheart' Could Be A Treat For Fans Of A Link To The Past
Looks like it nearly uses the same assets. Not that I'm complaining, if it's fun I'll definitely get it. Also, the song sounds a lot like Aerith's theme from ff7 at parts.
Re: E3 2022 In Doubt As Journalist Claims Digital Event Is "Probably" Also Cancelled
Not surprising. My guess is that the event is too expensive and they're not recouping any of the costs in a digital event.
Re: Random: Pandemic Shooter's eShop Page Makes You Wonder If Anyone At Nintendo Checks These Things
@somebread thank you! I can't imagine my day being tarnished by the summary of a video game.
Re: Random: Pandemic Shooter's eShop Page Makes You Wonder If Anyone At Nintendo Checks These Things
I don't see anything wrong there, but then again I don't waste my time being offended by things.
Re: Konami Is Celebrating Castlevania's 35th With An NFT Auction
Precisely how not to celebrate an anniversary for a big franchise.
Re: Square Enix President Knows You Hate NFTs Because You "Play To Have Fun"
Call me old fashioned but I miss when games were just games.
Re: Five Sega Genesis Games Have Been Added To Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Sword of Vermillion is great! Was one of my top genesis games. I don't really have the time to play again but highly recommend it.
Re: Introducing Sonic Frontiers, Arriving On Nintendo Switch Holiday 2022
Looks interesting. Definitely won't buy it on switch. Will keep an eye on it at least.
Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?
MM, ST and PH.
I love AoL, great replayability too. A shame to see it with most votes.
Re: Nintendo Shares Classic Legend Of Zelda Art In Celebration Of The Zelda Game & Watch
Seeing those are so nostalgic from when I was like 7 playing those. Pretty sure the instruction manual and Nintendo power used those.
Re: Soapbox: Can We Please Retire The Phrase 'Lazy Devs' Already?
Definitely agree with this soapbox. People who use the phrase are ignorant of how projects like these work, and are just resorting to insults to deal with being upset.
Re: Sakurai Says He's Not Thinking About A New Smash Bros. Game, But Won't Rule It Out
They'll need to come up with some innovative ideas to build on smash ultimate. Pretty hard to top IMO. Of course that will be 6-7 years down the road.
Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
For me, a lot of older games don't hold up very well because of controls and their interface. That said for me the biggest draw is shining force. But still not going for this expansion.

The inclusion of AC content really irritates me. Obvious marketing strategy to get more sales both for AC and NSO+. I'm not interested in AC at all. May cancel NSO altogether.

Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made
Cannot wait!!
I have so much to do this weekend. Might not get to any of it
Re: Rumour: Konami Reportedly Reviving Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, And Silent Hill
Not terribly interested. Only Castlevania interests me and it doesn't need a "reimagining" that's how we got lords of shadow, which was fine I guess but not really a good Castlevania. Now that Iga is making games we basically have the Castlevaniai want. Maybe they'll prove me wrong.
Re: Former Mario Movie Star John Leguizamo Isn't Happy With The Casting On The New Film
I was thrilled by the full casting, can't wait.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 25th)
Going back to an older game I never played, etrian odyssey Nexus. Also never played 5 but I don't have time for both and Nexus looked better to me.
Re: Castlevania Advance Collection Is Out Today On Nintendo Switch eShop
@Purgatorium
I'd say order of ecclesia it has multiple areas rather than just one big castle.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Finally Gets A New Trailer, Out In 2022
Not a Bayonetta fan at all. I knew the last bit would be Bayonetta but was really hoping for Zelda or Metroid prime 4.
Re: Best GameCube Games
What I would do for a skies of arcadia return...
I haven't played it since the Dreamcast original release. I haven't touched it since, I'm afraid it would have aged very poorly. But a new coat of paint and interface update would be an instant buy for me.
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
It's using their product name so obviously a bad idea. You can't represent a company's product when you don't have permission, that easy.
Re: Chill Music From Video Games - Relaxing Playlist
Child of light deserves so much more recognition for its story and music. I would love a sequel. Aurora's theme was a fantastic choice! I should replay this soon.
