Re: Mailbox: Metroid Excitement Levels, Game Clubs, "The Galaxy Strategy" - Nintendo Life Letters

YoshiTails

Metroid Prime is easily in my top 10 games of all time, it's just unreal, the level design, atmosphere, morph ball puzzle goodness

Really hope they can do MP4 justice, They might fail but if they succeed then hot damn

Was about to say the Switch 2 will finally be cooking, but maybe it's more fitting to say the Switch 1 will have an incredible send off bookmarked by Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime 4. (I'm ignoring semi notable 2026 releases, I know)

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Legends: Z-A?

YoshiTails

It's weirdly enjoyable despite the constraints of being in one city.

If they had allowed you to get a train to at least a couple other environments to make it a bit more like an evolution of Arceus, would be a 10

As it stands... Currently feeling an 8 but surprised by that, it shouldn't be good but it is, Pokemon always seems to draw you in regardless

@electrolite77 I actually don't believe there is such a thing as objectivity, everything is subjective and yet, here I am having thoughtlessly crammed the dreaded word into a hastily written "star" letter 😂

It is a good response, though I feel some outrage is warranted, Galaxy 1 being re-released again and asking for that much does make my blood boil a bit, guess I just needed to vent 🤷

I also think Donkey Kong Bananza was a greater experience than Mariokart World but the latter was a ridiculous £75 or $80

I think Trinen was telling porkies, there's a comment above stating Nintendo will charge whatever they want, and that's spot on - it's Brand dependent, not experience dependent. Mario is the brand that commands and Nintendo realise they can take advantage when his name is on the box.

Metroid has never sold over 3 million copies for one of its titles so despite (in my opinion) it likely being a phenomenal experience, at least I hope it will be, it isn't being valued the same.

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

YoshiTails

The number of comments this article has generated is insane 😂

What if the motorbike sections are just fun and everyone winds up loving them?

I think more inspired by Breath of the Wild DLC than Gears 5

However, they did hire some AAA developers to help get the project back on track so a link with Gears 5 and one of the devs is a possibility

Re: Talking Point: Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Too Difficult?

YoshiTails

I rage quit the first game after an hour because of the difficulty and never went back to it but this one, I have made it to the final boss of Act 1 after 12 hours.

I think the character moveset flows better for me. Maybe it feels better if you haven't gotten used to the first games playstyle

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th September)

YoshiTails

I think I might be a rare individual because I hated hollowknight but am liking silksong quite a bit, put 8 hours in. Have gotten to Greymoor, which prob isn't that far but I missed the room with the dash so wasted 2 hours not being able to get further 😂

Still, the art and sound design are amazing and I think it's more playable than Hollowknight, not saying it's easier but having less trouble with it.... So far

Re: First Impressions: Same But Different? - Our Initial Hours With Hollow Knight: Silksong

YoshiTails

I never like Hollowknight but thought would give this a go at its low price, seems kinda cool, haven't died too often, beat a couple bosses.

The sound design and animation are amazing, I think if I get a couple more hours play it will feel like £16 worth anyway.

It kind of feels like the world just weaves and opens up into new areas, you feel a bit like rootless, I don't feel able to return to any form of hub world easily, even with fast travel unlocked, but it kinda keeps a feeling of variety and leaves you on edge hoping for a bench.

Re: Mailbox: Ninty Getting Its Freak On, Area Codes, The 'Discourse' - Nintendo Life Letters

To add context to my bonus letter I was referring to the number of racing games releasing with Switch 2

Mariokart World
F-Zero GX
Fast Fusion
Ridge Racer 2 Archives
And later this year...
Sonic Racing Crossworlds
Kirby Air ride

It's a bit bananas isn't it? Thank God for DK Bananza, it's an amazing game, much needed genre shift (unpopular opinion: it's way better than Odyssey 😉)
