Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Another Classic Title

@LinktotheFuture Ah I see Sorry if my previous comment came across as argumentative! 😅

To be fair I was surprised when I found out Dread was officially called Metroid 5, I was like "What about the Prime games!?".

Then I guess I realised they just wanted to keep the (2D) Metroid games as their own thing, kinda separated but sharing all the same everything with the Prime games

Remember there have also been Prime spinoff/sub games. Prime Hunters on DS and Prime Federation Force on 3DS

So just think of it as Metroid = the 2D games and Metroid Prime = the 3D games

@LinktotheFuture I didn't say Prime games are spinoffs, nor did I say they are not mainline games, I just said they are clearly their own series, being numbered as they are, separately from the numbered 2D Metroid games.

I definitely consider Prime games mainline, it's just that they are numbered separately from 2D Metroid games.

Re: Where To Pre-Order The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom On Switch

@TLink9 @LocalPenguin ÂĢ70/₮80 would actually be the equivalent of US$85. But saying that, it is important to remember that in the UK and other European countries, sales tax in already factored into sales prices. So with that in mind the UK price of ÂĢ59.99 - tax (20%) = ÂĢ49.99, which exchanges to around US$60. So seeing as sales tax isn't already included in US prices, it seems the new US$69.99 price for TotK is OTT 🧐 But then again BotW and SSBU have always had a higher price compared to all other full-priced first party Nintendo Switch games, which has never been the case in US. I guess Nintendo just decided that US should now have a higher premium price like other countries

That Amazon saving price is BS
"Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue + Switch Online 12 Months" with "ÂĢ227.98" crossed out and "ÂĢ216.99" price offered, inferring a ÂĢ10.99 saving.

It should state ÂĢ217.98 is the standard price and the saving is 99p

@buggysdad "I just sent off eight yesterday. E I G H T. These Switches are predominantly played by younger kids who have no clue why the cursor moves all over the screen or that Link keeps walking when nothing is being pressed. That is just part of the game to them." STOP SPOILING THEIR GAME!! Haha
