Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Meet The Team

Ohhhhh boy! They all sound like annoying, stereotypical buzzkills in their own unique ways! 🀣🀣🀣

But they'll probably have a mission to save them, give you some stuff and hangout at a base where you meet them every once in a while. So it'll be fine!

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?

I missed both showcases and really needed to play that demo because the games controls and steering look like a "get gud" nightmare experience.

But Yhea, I'm getting this because the showcases let us see how much love and thought went in every single pixel. So you can't get a bad game, mediocre at worst!

@MarcusIsCool
The NSO expansion has A LOT of games at the moment. Especially N64 has a few gems I never thought I'd play again! (Banjo Tooie, Paper Mario, Mario party 3! 🀎)

They're taking their sweet time, but slowly releasing GameCube games too...granted you play through Switch 2. Chibi robo is on there right now with F Zero GX.... It's awesome!

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With Three More Titles

@Dylan69 I have mine because not ALL games play better on Switch 2. Some are glitchy or aren't playable at all. Also, The 2 is bigger, so you could argue you have the SW1 as a portable, and the 2 for at home...

If it's a money issue maybe set up a goal so you can save and buy it without help? If it's an issue with space, maybe keep the old one in your room?

Re: Nintendo Music Adds Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Switch & GameCube Albums

@hisownsidekick
There's multiple reasons:

  • They love drip feeding us! Just that bit of news or attention once or twice a week without having to do too much.
  • Nintendo famously doesn't want you to. They have this weird idea that listening to the music makes you not want to play the game. Want the music? -> PLAY THE GAME!!
  • It takes time to program all this, and there's also someone taking all these screenshots which must take time!

Re: 'Scurge: Hive' Spreads Its Isometric, Metroid-y Retro Virus To Switch This Week

garfreek

This was considered a big hidden gem at the time, it released basically at the end of the console lifetimes so it was a bit overshadowed by new and shiny things.

You're constantly on a timer to get you next "fix" of... I think it's energy pellets released by enemies. It's not a Metroidvania, but an action game. But it really gives that Metroid vibe in everything else!

Would definitely recommend! 🀎

Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?

garfreek

There's a lot of games, I don't need to pay 60+ bucks for one I already played! πŸ˜‚

But yhea, if you've never played 2, you're in for a treat guys! It's my favourite Wii era game and it's not close...okay maybe Sports resort too....but for the others, not even close! πŸ˜‚πŸ€Ž

New Adventures await! Thank you for your chill and thoughtful approach in videos, your love for rpg's and game preservation and your subtle (and sometimes not so subtle...thinking of those Christmas vids!) humor that gave your vids such a cozy feeling!

I'll definitely keep an eye out for your next step, good luck and have fun! ☺️
