I'll pick it up at a later date. I had it preordered but cancelled at the last minute, I loved the demo but want to be a bit smarter with game purchases, get the backlog whittled down a little more.

Nostalgia is telling GameCube but heart is telling me Famicom Disc System. Heroic is what that start-up conjures. Good stuff.

Sun sets as shadows lengthen
Waiting for the Switch release

Lamentum does look amazing. I have a huge soft spot for 2D pixel art horror games.

I thought the demo was good fun enough that I'll be picking it up.

Looking forward to it. My character will be based on an older bearded Road Warrior aka Uncle Mel.

We are closer to 2050 then we are to 1990.

I was 10 years old back then. Time flies.

It does look good so hoping they can hit the gameplay out of the park. Though minimalist storytelling kinda sounds off... something like BotW maybe?

I'm just wondering if this is the same Kate Gray who penned these fascinating articles.

Only just started XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 recently so will be chatting up Pyra this weekend.

Also continuing my daily chapter of LAST STOP on Xbox.

Can't wait for all the game journos calling for an easy mode to be implemented. LOL 😁

Okay. I'm interested.

@Snatcher Who's we? Is that you Gabe?

I reckon we should just send these journalists and analysts over to the conflict areas to sort the problem out as they seem to know what to do about everything.

Cool. I only just bought the Divine Edition the other week for the Switch.

Just bought a PS4 physical copy of the first game as I read it was a mix of Bayonetta and Persona on a smaller budget.

My copy will come tomorrow, missed the delivery guy yesterday. Looks amazing from the stills I've seen.

Corporate Pride, World Wide

I started Metroid: Zero Mission the other day as a lot of folks did I'm sure. Currently about to fight Ridley. And yes, I plan to play all the 2D games in chronological order.

I returned to Animal Crossing: New Horizons just over a week ago, I'm just pottering around everyday slowly paying off my house, just one more upgrade to go. Also today I finally got K.K. Slider to visit for his concert and saw the credits. Nice. Though it's really just the beginning now I can renovate my Island proper.

Got the new theme in Tetris 99 and earned enough tickets to purchase the only one I was missing.

Also started the extra story recently in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, feels good to jump back into this beautiful game. I so love the soundtrack, so relaxing.

And I was just going to buy these on the Wii U after my 2D Metroid run. Awesome!

@Ryu_Niiyama looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

Metroid deserves to be a 10 million selling franchise. Make it happen folks.

EDIT: It's number 2 best selling on the Australian Amazon site.

@jon625 the prices on ebay are ridiculous and my local ebgames have none in stock, but I did find a copy on Amazon with a pegi rating so I guess it's a pal version (damn 3DS for region locking). Anyway it should arrive next month.

Timely article.

I already begun my first playthrough of Metroid: Zero Mission on Wii U, just made it to Kraid. Don't know why I didn't play this one back in the day but getting to experience for the first time now is so good.
I'm going to need to buy Samus Returns soon but why is it expensive on the second hand markets? Is it rare for some reason?
Super Metroid I have on numerous systems and played already but never beaten for some weird reason. That will change this time.
Metroid Fusion was my very first 2D Metroid back on the OG GBA. Absolutely loved it. I had to buy it again on Wii U because both my GBA and OG DS have died.
And that will leave Dread. I already have my Collector's Edition and amiibo preordered!

Loved Attack of the Friday Monsters many a year ago, should replay it one day.

Would also like to see Crayon Shin-Chan get a localised version.

It'll be ready when it's ready. Patience, grasshopper.

Already preordered from EB Games along with the amiibo. 🙂

This was the announcement that made me sit up and yell YES! Surprised this is getting a multi platform release. Might just pick it up for PS5 then, but we'll see.

You're right, that trailer is SO MUCH better, why they didn't just whack english voice over on that boggles me. Plus I want that collectors edition!

I absolutely love Golf Story but I need to finish it as I got stuck on the last tournament.

This definitely looks awesome. Hopefully this sells a few million so it won't be the last 2D Metroid.

I'm ready. My body is ready. My wallet is ready. Let's do this already.

I agree. I've been gaming since the Atari 2600 and now owning all three current consoles, gaming has never been better, especially how easy it is to play everything retro. Can it be expensive? Sure. But it can be inexpensive also. Whatever floats your boat.

Where's the love for Phil? I really need to go visit him, it's been a while.

Ah, that sweet, sweet stability.

I might just start Monster Hunter Rise tomorrow if I get time.

I knew I should have bought an extra copy.

This reminds me, I need to use the download code I got in my Collector's Edition.

@jarvismp surely not another.... Great Train Robbery

Okay, I'm very interested.

Now that I own an Xbox, my only problem with the layout is confusing the X and Y top buttons when I return to a Switch game. And sometimes pressing B to accept lol.

It used to come to me so naturally but that third console has buggered everything. Decades worth of gaming ritual. That near instantaneous communication between brain and controller. A button layout more familiar than family. Now just dust.

There once was a bathhouse in Tokyo
They called the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a streetfighter
And God, I know I'm one

Please do not discuss politics on an article that is about Russian politics.

Okay.

I didn't know I was reading a Kotaku article or did I stumble onto the ReeeeeeeeeesetEra forum?

I just woke up to this news. WOW! YES!!

Absolutely massive numbers.

Calorie deficit, weights, walking.

Almost got to my target weight last year, only 3kgs off, before the holidays hit and I splurged eating a bit too much.

So back to the discipline. Any body composition goals you have, patience and consistency are key.

Still love my Wii U and have it hooked up to my bedroom TV.

No thanks. Nothing there for me. Too busy playing the PS5 and XboxSeX anyway
