Gamecube was a fantastic console. Lots of good college-time memories for me, with… Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, Super Monkey Ball, Killer7, Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Sunshine… Loved that console!
It’s a tough fight. Encourages you to keep exploring and beef up on upgrades, which is a big part of the Metroid gameplay loop. Very well designed, I think, and a pretty awesome remake overall.
Lots of gameplay in that video for a kickstarter game thats 2 years out! Hope it comes together, as right now it looks pretty fun. Love the octopus focus with this developer—they’re amazing creatures!
This looks so generic and lame, copying Metroid to the point of sterility. It clearly also has frame rate problems based on the footage in this trailer. HARD pass 💨
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!!!
Definitely sad the X-Men beat’m’up isn’t in there, but holy cats this is an amazing collection that I’m sure will sell like the cakes that are hot 🔥
Can’t wait to rock my Mega Man & Wolverine combo!!!
Renaine looks pretty solid, with some fun looking combat and cool pixel art. Kind of the only game calling my name here, aside from the obvious Beyond Good & Evil curiosity…
@KimBread Yeah this trailer was to let us know the game is alive and coming along, and will be Metroid Prime firing on all cylinders. They have not truly revealed the game yet. There will be a new gimmick! “Beyond”… beyond the scope of one world? Beyond our expectations?! lol
@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!
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!
The models wearing these shirts on the website, just… wow, hilarious! They DO NOT look happy about their new Legend of Zelda graphic T-shirts. Modeling is a special industry lol 😂
Don’t forget the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme borrowing from “Rocky Raccoon” by the Beatles, or at least very inspired by! Go to ~1:55 in the song: https://youtu.be/sDcDCZGcZj8?si=EtmgCxxUtZy7MnWm
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.

Definitely up for trying this, sounds like a satisfying challenge. Hopefully they patch that ginormous UI though—good grief!
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: Shinji Mikami Wants Suda51 To Make A Killer7 Sequel

Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?
@ChromaticDracula Right?! Amazing to me that they never made one. Nintendo exclusive; seems so obvious! We can dream…
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?
A Wind Waker port, Metroid remasters, and a Shin Megami Tensei V Nahobino Amiibo would make me a happy panda.

Re: The Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Has Officially Wrapped Filming
Strongly disliked the first film. Like, STRONGLY.
But I grew up loving the Paul Anderson film, so I’m probably super biased…

Re: Reminder: Splatoon 3's Deep Cut amiibo Are Out This Week, Will You Be Getting Them?
Deep Cuts is a fantastic album by The Knife. Does the Amiibo unlock more tracks? 🤪
@alienigenX Do it! It’s a good one
Re: 'Blade Chimera' Combines Stunning Pixel Art With Stylish Metroidvania Action
Looks fantastic, but that main character design… blech!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario RPG On Switch?
Loved the original growing up. Remake looks lovely, but not a priority to buy at the moment, especially since I have the old one on the SNES mini.
Re: Poll: Do You Think We'll See Hollow Knight: Silksong This Year?
It WILL be released
It WILL be fantastic
In 2024
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Is Backwards Compatible, What Will You Do With Your Switch?
Definitely keep it as a second console. I’d probably delete all the cartridge games and use it as strictly digital only to bring on trips and stuff.
