Re: Nintendo Life's Switch Summer Survey 2024

Great survey, that was fun!
But you forgot to ask:

“On a scale of 0 - 10 how bad is your Switch physical games addiction?” or…

“How many unopened Switch games do you own?”

Personal answer: 10 / too many

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd June)

Really enjoying Sea of Stars so far—very engaging combat, beautiful environments, and great exploration. The story is a bit “meh” so far, and the characters are a bit bland too, but still a lot of fun.

Excited to jump into Metroid: Zero Mission ASAP.

Then it’ll be time to dig the Wii our for the Metroid Prime Trilogy!!!

@asmi8803 Highly recommend Metroid Prime Remastered on Switch. It’s a beautiful, high-performing remaster of a fantastic game. Lots of puzzles (mostly environmental) to solve! The shooting isn’t perfect, but a lock-on feature makes it manageable. It’s one of my favorite games of all time, and I’m not really a big FPS fan, so I think that says something…
Long live Metroid!

Re: Review: Animal Well (Switch) - An Exceptional Metroidvania That Stands Out From The Pack

Love, LOVE Animal Well so far. It’s so creative and refreshing. Discovering new items and then experimenting to find their various uses feels so rewarding. Love the lack of traditional combat; instead of out-powering the “enemies”, you need to outsmart and outmaneuver. And of course the atmosphere is just phenomenal. Absolutely fantastic game that I just can’t put down. Can’t recommend enough!

Re: Review: Ghost Song - A Potent Mix Of Metroid And Dark Souls, But Maybe Not On Switch

Playing on a physical version, and it’s performing well enough, post-patches. Still has a few hitches now and then, and the camera movement when jumping and ascending vertically feels a little choppy. You can also tell certain environments are causing the game to struggle a bit. So not perfect, but totally playable. Looks beautiful on the OLED screen as well!

Despite this, really enjoying it so far. It’s weird, challenging, and packed with nostalgia for Metroid-lovers looking for something new and mysterious. Highly recommended, and totally playable on Switch.
