@LinktotheFuture Ah I see Sorry if my previous comment came across as argumentative! ð
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.
@LinktotheFuture "Are Prime 2 & 3 not mainline games?" Metroid Prime games are obviously their own series, hence the first game then Prime 2 then Prime 3 and eventually Prime 4.
Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread are not Prime games.
@TLink9 @LocalPenguin ÂĢ70/âŽ80 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 ð§ 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
I think they could've added Game Boy to the standard tier. Seems mean not to keep adding more systems. Fair enough that they want to add a higher tier with extra systems for more money, but I think they could still add the likes of Game Boy to the standard tier also
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
@Kiz3000 the Mario Red Joy-Con Pair had been exclusively available from the [UK] MyNintendo Store for a few years. Wasn't well known about at all AFAICT

@Investor9872 Yes. Interesting article about IGZO screen tech here -> https://www.displayninja.com/igzo-vs-ips/ IGZO vs IPS â Whatâs The Difference? 80%-90% more power efficient due to the higher electron mobility. Additionally, this provides a quicker response time, better color rendition, and higher pixel density.
