So I've been playing this for a bit now, and what I hate most about this release is the frame rate! The drops are very noticeable, and much worse than in original the PS1 release. It's pretty sad that this game runs much better on an emulator than in an official release. Why does Square disrespect their customers so much?
It wouldn't surprise me if Metroid Prime 4 was released at the tail end of the Switch's lifecycle on the Switch and as a launch title for Nintendo's next system, like they did with Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild.
I liked neither the gameplay, art style, nor the story in the demo. I guess the combat animations were nice, but that's about all the good I have to say about it for now.
Even leaving out potential non-Nintendo characters, there are still plenty of 1st party Nintendo characters that could be added as playable. Waluigi, Toad, various popular Fire Emblem characters, more Pokemon, Peppy and Slippy, Soda Popinski, etc.
Plus, they could always switch up the core mechanics and give us something fresh.
A disappointing E3, but I have plenty to look forward to this year. My "most wanted" upcoming Switch game right now is Octopath Traveler. Then we have the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, Captain Toad (I never bought the Wii U version), Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, and Smash Bros. I'm looking forward to Wargroove, too, but I doubt it comes out in 2018.

Re: Review: Pocky & Rocky Reshrined - A Thrilling New Interpretation Of A SNES Classic
This looks cool. I never owned the SNES version, but I remember playing it at a video games shop as a kid and having a blast.
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
I missed a lot of GBC and GBA games originally, so I am looking forward to this.
Re: Feature: Which Is The Absolute Best Nintendo Console Generation?
SNES, with Switch and Gamecube close behind.

Re: Review: The House Of The Dead: Remake - Control Issues Gnaw At Sega's Arcade Classic
@RubyCarbuncle I have the Japanese version for Dreamcast, plus the light gun.
I'm still sad the Dreamcast didn't take off. It probably would have done better if Sega hadn't botched the Japanese release.
Re: More Switch Owners Would Consider Game Pass If Activision Titles Were Added, Poll Finds
I would only want a subscription model if I got to keep the games forever (a la Humble Bundle).
Re: Review: The House Of The Dead: Remake - Control Issues Gnaw At Sega's Arcade Classic
The control issues, combined with the fact that HotD2 is better anyway, make this a pass for me.
Re: Square Enix Unveils The DioField Chronicle, A Brand New Strategy RPG Coming To Switch In 2022
I'll wait and see, I don't really like real-time strategy.
Re: Review: Triangle Strategy - Square Enix Plots A Total Tactical Triumph
I am so excited to play this game tomorrow. You can just inject the "HD-2D" art style into my veins, please.
Re: Review: Taito Milestones - An Oddly Meagre Collection Of Coin-Op Classics
Qix rules, and there are a bunch of knock-offs with similar gameplay that you can play online, so it would seem there are more than dozens of us!
Re: Random: 'Nintendo Generation' Skeletons Aren't Tough Enough, Says US Army Major
Cool, I hope more kids play Nintendo and stay out of the military.
Re: Poll: Do You Have An Issue With Xenoblade Chronicles' Accents?
I hate the British accents, but I always just switch the spoken language to Japanese, and it sounds just right.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2022 Nintendo Direct - Every Game Reveal And Trailer

and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Re: Awesome Triangle Strategy Trailer Introduces Frederica And New Gameplay
I almost had a heart attack because it said "04/03/2022", then I remembered it's day/month/year outside the US, lol.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Lining Up A Huge Year Of Gaming In 2022
I bet Metroid Prime 4 ends up being released for Switch and as a launch title for Switch's successor, much like Twilight Princess and BotW.
Re: Introducing Sonic Frontiers, Arriving On Nintendo Switch Holiday 2022
They're making it for the next generation consoles, too, so I bet the Switch version sucks.
Re: Rom-Com Dating Sim 'Love Esquire' Invites Players To "Git Gud, Get Laid" On Switch
"git gud, git laid" but won't any erotic stuff be cut out of the Switch version?
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Was First Announced Four Years Ago Today
It wouldn't surprise me if Metroid Prime 4 was released at the tail end of the Switch's lifecycle on the Switch and as a launch title for Nintendo's next system, like they did with Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild.
Re: Square Enix Will Share More Information About Bravely Default II Soon
I liked neither the gameplay, art style, nor the story in the demo. I guess the combat animations were nice, but that's about all the good I have to say about it for now.
Re: Here's Your First Look At The Main Menu In Super Mario 3D All-Stars
I wish that they had made Super Mario Sunshine 60 FPS for this collection. That's my main complaint.

Re: Review: Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold - Endearing RPG Action With Bags Of Character
The fact that it has been censored bums me out. I probably won't get this game.
Re: Mini Review: Gigantic Army - A Cybernator Homage That's Almost Over Before It Starts
Cybernator kind of sucked, too.
