@tseliot Agreed back. It will never match those two franchises in sales but I love the Metroid games more than any other Nintendo series. I just wish the rest of the world agreed and backed it up with purchases. Hopefully the popularity of Switch will kickstart a Metroid revival with Dread.
This article has really annoyed me because it reminded me that Nintendo owns the license for Project Zero/Fatal Frame and chooses to NOTHING with it. 😡
I own a Switch, PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X. I haven't bought a PS5 or Series X because I literally have no reason to. Everything that interests me on those systems I can play on the consoles I currently own. Why would I shell out £500 on a PS5 when Horizon and GoW will be available on my PS4. Faster loading, better lighting and 'moss and facial hair' does not impress me. At least MS were honest about not having any truly next gen games ready. Sony lied. Mocked the competition. Then backtracked. Their first party titles are not truly next gen because they've been designed with PS4 in mind.
Aren't Polymega making a gun that works on non CRT screens? That's what I want. So many amazing games could be remade and sequelled if that became the standard.
I have 3. My OG Switch connected to my TV at all times, Zacien and Zamazenta Switch Lite for my digital games and a turquoise Switch Lite for physical games.
@CactusMan But only in Europe??? I'd understand if it was digital everywhere but there's no excuse to avoid physical solely in Europe. Anyone who wants a physical cartridge will have to import. A game like this seems like it's destined for paid DLC unfortunately and so those importers would need to set up a non EU account for the privilege or miss out entirely. It doesn't seem right considering its a first party game.
@Mr-Fuggles777 Well done for nearly turning 40. I'm a couple of weeks away myself. I have games from 30 years ago that still work. The fact that modern games need a patch to work isn't a good thing and I don't know why you use that to argue your point. A game you buy should work out of the box. I've never bought a film that required me to download a patch to watch the ending. A game shouldn't be a transient thing like hearing a song on the radio. If I pay full price it should be mine to do as I please with for as long as I want.
@Starman88 Well I guess that makes you intolerant for judging me. How dare you be intolerant of anyone or anything in the world including me and my opinions.
@Scapetti You are a moron and clearly trying to annoy people. I think you're about 14. You're 'excited for what the future holds'. Temporary ownership of something you paid full price for that lasts as long as the company you bought it from decides you can have access to it. Absolute idiot.
I have a launch Switch connecting to my TV, a Pokémon Switch Lite and a turquoise Switch Lite. I'm really struggling to stop myself from buying this because it's so ****ING gorgeous.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60
@RoguePirate Quality of game doesn't always relate to quantity of sales. I think that was the point @tseliot was making.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60
I've pre-ordered the collector edition. It's expensive but I'm not even sorry. IT'S ****ING METROID!
Re: Switch Error Code 2123-1502 - Users Still Waiting On Fix For Update 12.0.3 Issues
This is a so ****ING poor. This is not typical Nintendo but it's really stressing me out.
Re: Metroid Games You Need To Play Before Metroid Dread
I really enjoyed Other M. Fusion was a bit too linear for my liking and I'm hoping that Dread won't be the same.
Re: Where To Pre-Order The Limited Edition Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Con
I really don't like these at all.

I've just got it too. Can't download software updates for Pokémon Snap. 😟
Re: Strange Brigade Is Out Now On Switch eShop
Just bought this on Xbox for £7.99 because it's a physical copy. Not sure if that's what Nintendo really wanted following the reveal in the Direct.

Re: Talking Point: With Sony And Microsoft In Next-Gen Limbo, E3 Is Nintendo's For The Taking
@kingbk Agreed. And Animal Crossing. And Mario Kart. And Smash Bros. And Miitopia.

Re: HD Remaster Of Xbox Live Arcade Hit Toy Soldiers Announced For Switch
@ThanosReXXX So those HD remakes during the 360/PS3 era weren't HD???
HD is 720p and above. Up to 4K.
Re: HD Remaster Of Xbox Live Arcade Hit Toy Soldiers Announced For Switch
It was in HD on Xbox 360.

@stinky_t Thank god you stepped in. Hero. Peace maker. Such a lukewarm, sit on the fence, can't everyone just love everything kind of opinion. Snore.

Re: Tattoo Punk Will Get Stylish On Switch In The 'Near Future'
I love the idea of this. Such a good twist on the management sim genre.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy Switch Port? Unlikely, Says Former Retro Studios Dev
@LXP8 I completely disagree. Every game that I love needs to be remade for Switch RIGHT NOW! 😂
On a separate note, Chibi Robo DOES need to be remade for Switch right now.
