Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management

Some absolutely terrible comments here - toxic workplace environments are responsible for serious mental health fallout and this needs to stop. Disappointing to see this ignorance reflected in the first few comments on Nintendo life, a decent community. I have two seriously ill children and my wife often has to live long term in hospital. Many families have similar back breaking situations - put a bullying toxic workplace environment on top of that & you’re not only tipping the parent over the edge in a time of deep suffering but you’re hurting the children as well. People need to grow up and realise what it’s like to be an adult with serious responsibilities in this world.

@EarthboundBenjy Agreed, this was a huge mistake from Nintendo, bless them. Just send it in to them, they’ll have it back to you in a few days. Hopefully they’ve learned their lesson for the next console. At leat they provide us with some of the greatest games ever made. In fact I believe they’re the greatest developer the world has seen so far.

Just as an alternative opinion: Nintendo fixes this for free and has an incredibly fast turnaround - and much better than a home fix. I know it shouldn’t be a problem in the first place but they’re doing their due diligence, at least to a degree.

Exciting to think they’re balls deep in developing their new console - only they know what it is. I reckon it’s a new much more powerful handheld hybrid.

@Migoshuro you’re absolutely right, the sequel is 100% a better game in my opinion. The addition of the boost mechanic made the racing that much more thrilling. A lot of people dismissed the game, saying the handling was too difficult, when in fact if you mastered the combination and interaction of the stick and shoulder buttons for steering it made for a fantastically finely balanced control system that gave the game wonderful playability. Personally I think it’s one of the best racers of all time, even now, and I love it to bits.

The worst thing they could possibly do with this is change the original physics. Hopefully they've kept Toshihiro's gameplay 100% intact. That's the sauce that's eluded developers again and again which elevates the first two games above any marble/ball type game in existence. And crucially the very thing that would be difficult to translate perfectly to a different engine.

Some great, entirely realistic predictions here. Additionally we’ll get the real 4K switch pro (finally!). DLSS, roughly the base power of a series S, but in real world terms able to just about match an RTX3090 due to Nintendo’s new bespoke ultra efficient compiler. All games on mask roms to easily exceed the PS5 load times and all games will be required to run at a rock solid 120fps.A VR headset to come before Xmas with twin 4K screens at 120hz, finally giving us a decent FOV. BOTW2 and many more upcoming games will run on the headset, which will be roughly the size of a bulky pair of glasses. Complete GameCube & N64 libraries, all reprogrammed or de-restricted to run at 120fps.

Tweaked physics?? Blasphemy. Give me Toshihiro Nagoshi’s pure vision any day. The GameCube analogue stick’s so perfectly tuned to the game - for this particular title I can’t imagine another stick matching it. Thank god I recollected for the cube & became a CRT collector.

EDIT: I’m a purist, I’m sure it’ll be awesome for 99% of players

@Nintendo_Alski I never understood why people think the wavebird is better than the original, would love to hear peoples opinions. All they did is remove rumble and add wireless. I’d prefer rumble over wireless any day.
