Re: Metroid Prime 4's Sweet New Trailer Builds The Hype For Next Month's Launch

Nice trailer. I was a little concerned about how much footage they had of that bike in the previous trailer, but this one thankfully focuses a lot more on the traditional Metroid Prime gameplay. That means that, hopefully, the bike gameplay won't be a large part of the game. My confidence has (mostly) been restored and I can't wait for Metroid Prime 4 to release.

Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous

I was hoping for more of the same gameplay as the first three games (with some new ideas, of course). The open world looks barren, and I'm not sure a large space like this works in a Metroid game anyway. I'm looking to play a metroidvania, not another open world game. The bike didn't look like it fit the pace of a Metroid game. Regardless, I'm optimistic that Retro Studios has made a great game.

Re: Nintendo Lawyer Breaks Down What Makes An Emulator Illegal

I completely agree with all of these points. It is definitely illegal to use copyrighted software in the emulator, such as the BIOS. If you write your own software that does the same thing, it should be fine though. Emulators such as the popular GBA emulator mGBA does this. I imagine that's why it's been in operation for over ten years.
