Bout one of the only good things you can say about Metroid Prime 4 yeah the graphics look great. Although recently replaying Metroid Prime remastered those graphics are still amazing and feel on par with what the switch2 can do
At least this game did come out at somewhat a budget price and did not get the switch tax at least. Nintendo will charge full price if not more when porting a game from the previous generation console and most people will eat that up.
So basically this is going to be the book form of dialogue from Miles McKenzie. I swear that dude does not even give you time to think about what you want to do before he just straight up tells you what to do.
@RiasGremory oh just wait this miles dude he tells you everything you need to do without giving you a chance to look for yourself. I thought I would be able to tolerate it but the studios pretty much saying "hey Gamers you're stupid let us show you how to play"
I got the switch 1 version pre-order with a voucher because eventually there will be a randomizer for it. And I'll get the upgrade pack for my switch 2 which is how I intend to play it tomorrow going with the 4K 60fps
I bought the game I haven't played it yet but I've heard good reviews that it runs well and that's all I need I don't need realistic rocks I'm not trying to count the individual veins in grass I just want to enjoy this game. And the fact it came out for $18 regular 20 most companies will try to sell these at full price with less work involved and glitchy message all throughout
Half of that size has to be contributed to character animations, escort sequences, heavy voice dialogue for unrelatable and forgettable characters. And there's a large open desert with nothing but to travel between places on a motorbike to pop wheelies and crashing the enemy's sideways because that's what all action games have to have now.
I really really hope I'm wrong on all this as a fan of the Metroid series since day one.
Another thing that's going to be really bad for speedrunners and watching speed runs is you're going to have to hear this garbage dialogue every time
Can't believe im gonna have to mute NPC volume and turn off subtitles but still have to escort and protect this babbling piece of useless ***** for the sake of appealing to a wider audience that don't care for metroid games.
This has had more coverage than the switch 2 console reveal or direct, I can't recall a Mario game that got this much publicity from Nintendo. I mean are they expecting this to sell a billion copies
When they eventually come out with a Switch2 Lite portable only console, why oh why can't we get a console only version. And people will say "well that's the whole point of the switch it's portable and a Home console in one." Then please teach me how to connect a Switch Lite to my TV
The icing on the cake in all of this, is its not a full priced $60 port, like most other companies go with. Nicely priced at $35 guarantees a day 1 purchase from me.
Resident Evil Remake and RE0 finally priced properly. snagged em both. May get Friday 13th since it is half off, assuming the user base for multiplayer is SUPER low.
It's pleasing to read through the comments and all of those that's not accepting this price gouge from capcom. This is one of my all time favorite games, but will wait for at least a 50% off sale.
Soooo, I was bummed these sales didnt come to the NoA Eshop. Was looking forward to buying La Noire. Then I went to Amazon and it's $18 for the physical copy. Like wtf are these eShop retail prices?!?!?!?!?
No No No and FFFFF No! Not doing this stupid games being held hostage and MIGHT be considered if support for an unrelated game is high. I'll watch a play through on youtube if I'm that desperate.
I agree, $20 is a crazy asking price, but better than capcom with their Resident Evil switch tax for NO reason. These turok remasters released on Ps4 and XBO at $20 as well when first released
These games are worth $30 and more for the value you get out of them. The problem here is .... these originally released for cheaper on other consoles. There's no new features, no gyro controls that I've heard of, nothing. Just an added switch tax. And sadly I was prepared to buy all 3 day 1, now just going to wait for the inevitable capcom sale a month or 2 later.
If it is ready to be released, then that should confirm its a simple port of the Wii version, rather than HD remaster. Unless this is one of the best kept secrets of the universe, of all time.
The one glimmer of hope from this is they could push for an MP Trilogy HD Switch version to be released in the next year or 2 to hold fans over and prep those who have never played the series. I'm not talkin a full fledged HD remake, just an up-res version, audio, gyro controls, etc for porting. Hell, I'll even take the Wii trilogy version being ported just to replay these games.
@The_ghostmen I'm the opposite. I'd rather rebuy a game I know is great that I'll play again and again. So sick of buying a new game released with bugs, weekly patches, day 1 paid DLC, as well as in most cases, be a boring 'by the numbers' game that i either have to force myself to play through or stop playing after a few hours.
It'd make sense for Capcom to put the Revelations games on sale during this announcement, and the fact it's Halloween. Think I've only seen sales on these once in NA, and several times in EU.
They LEARNED their mistakes on WiiU with the VC by having us create "new" My Ninitendo Accounts to have our purchases tied to accounts, instead of consoles, so we wouldn't have to repay for them on the next system. Next system is here, and now we have to RENT the games most of us already own on our VC My Nintendo account.
This is what bothers me most. Yes, the games are there, but I'm less incline to play them when I don't own them. Just like Netflix, I have so many options I don't end up watching many of them because they're "just" there. But, if I purchase a Bluray or TV season on DVD/Bluray I'm going to watch them almost instantly.
I havent even touched any of the "Rental" games available because I'm just not as motivated to play them when I don't own them, and my progress can vanish without notice when they're cycled out. This is just another strategy from Nintendo to make us REPAY for the same games again when they "supposedly" fixed this issue with the MY Nintendo Accounts!!!!!
@aaronsullivan it's total 'eShop' sales for September 2018 ... not lifetime sales from March 2017 to September 2018. Plus, almost all 1st party games are physical, where most sales come from.
@Kochambra I get all that, I'm not paying double the price for DLC I'll probably never play. So, by not releasing the DLC for WiiU owners, its fine to charge $30 for the whole package again!?!? I used to speedrun this on WiiU, but the load times added minutes to the overall run compared to other versions. Again, I will wait for the inevitable sale a month or 2 after release.
Loved this game on WiiU, but as others have said, the double hike in price just tore away all my excitement when seeing this article popup. Will wait for the inevitable 50% off sale.
@JaxonH OK. Thanx for the clarification. As someone who has never used a cloud backup save for a gaming system, I'm in the dark. And this article is all I could go by on how Nintendo's cloud backup save would work.
@DannyBoi Exactly! The idea presented here isn't what I originally thought how a cloud save system would work. Like, if I wanted to manually upload a save , because I wanted to replay a boss fight or part of a game that would normally be overwritten by my next save in the game ; then I could just upload that and always redownload it when I wanted to. This auto-save thing sounds like more of a problem if it auto saves at the wrong time and you have no control over it.
Never had a SegaCD and I always wanted to play the game due to the controversy it sparked back in the day. I'm one of those that was excited to see this getting added to Switch. Didn't live up to the violence congress and others portrayed it as. But, I have to admit, the cheesy-ness of it makes it great! I've probably put almost 30 hours into it over the weekend, trying to unlock all the video galleries and getting 100%.
Those complaining about the score with their argument only being "the game is awful, worst game ever made" ... really need to stop taking angry video game nerd and other youtube reviewers words as final and absolute to everything. The game really does have charm and the work put into this 25th anniversary well makes up for the asking price.
And, again, those that are clueless about the game, saying Switch has glitches and resolution problems ... the original video files for the game were lost. There's a documentary explaining this, if you had actually played it
