@outsider83 They have proven that they have no qualms about killing animals. Many of the animals they 'save'(steal) gets put down no less than an hour later, even if the animal is in excellent condition and adoptable. There was one recent case where they stole a dog that was only a year old, in broad daylight and right off the family's poorch, and put her down within an hour. The saddest part, that puppy was a little girl's christmas present.

@thesilverbrick Actually, it is very relevant. The difference between fighting an Alpha and a Gamma is how many missiles you have. (Just incase you didn't know, Alpha's take less missiles to kill than a Gamma does.) And I get the feeling they'll change where and when you encounter the Metroids such as adding a new area to explore, as is the usual case of remakes so knowledge of the old game's layout might not be as helpful as it once was. Knowing what Metroid type is where can help the player avoid the more dangerous fights until they're either better equipped with more health and missile upgrades or they are fully healed and reloaded.

Re: Nintendo's Been In The Video Game Business For 40 Years This Month

Sony & Microsoft fanboys also owe a thank-you to Nintendo. If Nintendo wasn't around, Sony would of never jumped into the console business. Microsoft would of seen Sega as having a monopoly on the industry and thus stayed exclusively to computer manufacturing. And Sega would of driven the business into the ground like what happened with Atari.

Re: Sledgehammer Games Has a Definitive Answer on Call of Duty: WWII for Nintendo Switch - "No"

@rjejr Forgetting one important factor to your 'math'. How long said systems have been out.

PlayStation 4 release date: February 22, 2014
Xbox One release date: November 22, 2013
Nintendo Switch release date: March 3, 2017

So your numbers argument wouldn't a be a fair comparison as the Switch is only 4 months old, whereas the Xbone is 4 years old and the PS4 is 3 years old. Naturally the consoles that have been out longer would have a higher base than a system that hasn't even seen its first year anniversary.
