And nobody gives a sh*t

I just can't get into a game that doesn't have a central "point". Trading, upgrading, building outposts, discovering planets.. for what? What's the core element tying them all together?

The game has a 100 different mechanics, but no narrative worth a damn.

There are some issues I have with the game, chiefly the original soundtrack being rather forgettable and not up to Metroid standards of excellence. But what absolutely trumps everything here, is how f*cking perfect the game feel is. It's just leagues above any other metroid game in the gameplay department. Samus allows you to feel like such a badass once you master the moveset. It's the one Metroid game I'm constantly compelled to replay every few months just for how good it feels to play. Definitely a masterpiece in its genre.

Typical dense AF Nintendo

What do you actually do? Vibe around underwater and take photos? That's it?

For 50 bucks, forget it. It's a 20$ indie game at best.

@Savage_Joe I actually didn't know that. Thanks for educating me

@LikelySatan Why so sensitive?

Nintendolife: Why make our own anlysis when we can just regurgitate someone else's work?

The camera controls in the 2nd game were an absolute abomination. How capcom, of all studios, can be so inept as to map the camera movement to DIGITAL input, is F*cking staggering. It feels like trying to look around with a keyboard. Oh and the framerate half the time chugs so hard, it's barely playable.

What do you actually 'do' in it? Swim around and take pictures? Is that it?

I imagine Square's surprised pikachu face, seeing how overblown budgets don't mean sh*t against game quality, reasonable prices and positive word of mouth.

Pretty terrible review written by incompetent people who have no clue what this game is all about or how to approach it.

The Switch is probably one of the best consoles ever for jRPG's. It's just seriously lacking in other major genres, like racing and fighting games.

@Khezu
Nintendo no longer wants your money anyway and doesn't give a damn if those games vanish from existence. I'd say you're free to do as you please. I certainly will.

The 3DS eShop felt like a fun experience every time. From the loading screen, the lovely background music, the fun download animations. So full of personality and charm.
It was almost like going through a toy store as a kid.

It's a shame that all we get from Nintendo now is a sterile, laggy AF alternative filled to the brim with garbage shovelware.
Different era I guess.

Ubisoft realized they'll be the only guest arriving at the party and didn't want to look awkward.

Serves the organizers right. This is what years of arrogance and mismanagement get you.

If you play a PC build of a game (Golum), DON'T call it a Switch game. We all know it'll look nothing like it.

Zero Mission for me. A friend lent me his GBA along with this one game. It introduced me to Nintendo as a whole and got me though hospital when I was a kid.

They should have started with that frame rate first

Where’s that Xenoblade X port though

Pretty much 100%ed this game on Switch.. oh boy, what a treat to get back into if, if only for a moment.

Though it’s hard to tell if we’re getting some actual quests or just costumes and collectibles.

Nintendo can’t even get their joysticks right. And when confronted about it, they deny it.

So I wouldn’t trust them to magically come out with a superior screen to what’s already out there and known to cause issues. And they sure as heck won’t address it when it’s time.

If my OG Switch does give out any time soon, I might just go and buy the existing V2 models since internally they’re the exact same thing.

Pretty much every single piece of footage that’s been shown of this game looked and ran like total dogsh*t.
I’m pretty tolerant of Switch’s lower res releases since I still appreciate the novelty of it’s portable nature, but damn.. so far this has been among the ugliest exclusives for the platform.
The first game on the PS3 looked infinitely better than this! HOW?
I know people say “oh but it’s only a demo from an earlier build”.. and yet they delayed the game once already and chose to quietly show it during Treehouse mere months before release.

I have serious doubts.

@HamatoYoshi We could ask that about 99% of games released these days.
The age of common sense is long gone.

And that’s why I don’t pre-order anything.

Ever.

@EliteXeos
So by your logic.. The Switch supports the RE engine. So RE Village is practically confirmed for Switch!!!! Oh boy!
Or have you entertained the possibility of the next DQ going more ambitious and pushing next gen while supporting the PS4 as the lowest common denominator. So instead of spouting baseless assumptions as facts.. let’s wait and see instead perhaps?

@EliteXeos The article literally said that platforms are still unknown.

Did they compensate for Nintendo’s incompetence and include analog triggers at least? Otherwise, it’s worthless.

@RogerFederer Savage burn lol. Gotta agree though, Tony shaped my childhood in a way that Peter Pan never could.

@Razer I am super glad that we have so many legacy RE titles on one portable, though. It was my first real opportunity to try RE Remake and it’s become one of my favourite games ever.
I fully agree with your complaints though.

Gotta admit, Capcom is is doing better than most publishers these days. They seem to have genuine respect and love for their own franchises. The quality really shows.
I’ll be there for MH Stories 2 for sure. Looks like such a charming game.

Hell yes. This is among the most exciting things coming to Switch, for me. So long as there’s a physical release..

@BulkSlash Looks awesome? I heard the game is a complete visual mess on Switch

@PipeGuy64Bit Wow.. isn’t it fun how players would rather skip chunks of a MARIO game rather than play it. Nintendo seriously F-Ed up with this one.

@MegaMari0 “A delayed game will eventually be good. A rushed game will forever be bad”
Some hypocrite from Nintendo.

@IronMan30
Metroid fans are oozing desperate, after having their favourite franchise so horribly mismanaged by Nintendo.

More 3rd party games!!!

on the Cloud

At full price

Honestly why would I be interested in playing a game that's trying to resemble a better game? I'll just be thinking about it's shortcomings, since there's nothing of its own.

It's never been the same since that first year. Lazy ports for 60 bucks ever since.

Remember that time Nintendo took Pikmin 3 off the WiiU e-shop, because it wanted to shovel this one for 3 times the price and hoping you would forget? Same with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.
Yup, that's Nintendo for ya.

Great. So this is probably how Nintendo will carry on with 3rd parties on Switch. People said Witcher 3 was impossible. Yet Saber Interactive took the time and effort to deliver us a great port of a game we can now play anywhere.
How about this sh*t? Play anywhere.. unless you're not around wifi. Then don't play at all. If they want to completely undermine the portability of the Switch, then why even bother calling it a portable? That's what home consoles are for.
Oh and how about trusting your game library to a bunch of independent publishers to run their servers flawlessly 24/7 for years to come.. until they decide the money well has run dry and they just cut support..in which case you're left with nothing. I sincerely hope people don't jump into this so we can have some bit of hope left for dedicated AAA switch ports. But we can trust publishers to take the lazy way out and Nintendo to not give two sh*ts about game preservation.

@hadrian We already know Nintendo doesn't give to sh*ts about game preservation. They're asking us to continuously pay a subscription to enjoy a bunch of ROMS while taking down websites that care to preserve them. Same as what happened to virtual console. Poof, gone.
If this is Nintendo's answer to 3rd party support, I'm completely done with them.
Nintendo Switch: "Play Anywhere...unless you don't have wifi around. Then don't play at all "

If this is how they will carry on with 3rd party support for nintendo I'm out. We all said Witcher 3 would never work, same with Doom, Wolfenstein, and many others. Yet they put in time, care and effort and pulled it off.
You get a portable version of some of the best games from this Generation on the GO. WTF is this now? "Play anywhere..unless you don't have Wifi around. Then don't play at all." You are paying full price for a bunch of games being streamed off a server by a publisher who will safeguard your investment 24/7, for years to come? Are people going crazy? If this cloud horsesh*t completely undermines the portability of the Switch, then why bother at all? There's home consoles for a cheaper price that play these things natively. AND give you the option to carry on playing on a variety of other devices for the same price. This effectively makes the Switch LESS accessible than any other console in the market, despite touting to be a hybrid. What a rip-off

Lol it’s mid-September now and still dead silence..
