It was a surprise that Samus was female. But for me that was the end of it. The only thing that mattered was that the game played well. It's nice to get another perspective but it's not that big of a deal
DK should get a new game. Its long over due. But that's where it should stop. He isn't a viable character that will raise the Nintendo brand. They do make some weird decisions in Japan.
@Chols Yeah I know. And it's the only game that gave you gap videos so you could find all the gaps. Probably spent more time doing that than completing the game.
It's not just the price. It's the fact that nobody has played it and they are using the Metroid name which sort of guarantees a level of quality. But the game could be cack
This is a huge turning point for the switch. If the games don't start coming in then it's the end of the lifespan as I see it. Which would mean a switch 2 is on the horizon.
Even Nintendo know that the well is drying up. Time to give us the good stuff. Themes and folders Proper eShop BOTW 2 date GTA 5 or San Andreas stories reveal Metroid Prime 4 GBA games
@Crono1973 It's the same for all products. It's called the 2nd hand or used markets. Toyota sell a car and shock horror they dont chime up when the owner sells it on. THE AUDACITY. Same with games. Nintendo sell games new and that's where they make their money. You wanna play old games then track down that product
@Crono1973 What does a companies profits have to do with anything. They are in the business of making money. I think maybe you are the type of person I'm talking about.
Comes down to ownership. If its not yours then you are stealing. This stuff is killing gaming the same way the music industry was killed in the early 2000s. Companies will not want to make games when they will lose money on them. That's why we get half finished games at the moment like Aninal Crossing.
Great article. Much better than yesterday's confusathon. I won't be buying the game as its not my thing but I loved the article. Next up. Spyro was fighting for gay rights without you knowing back in 1996.
No basis in any claim. Just geeks with nothing better to do trying to drum news out of nowhere. I will wait for an official announcement but I wouldn't hold your breath
No way Nintendo want to make money. Don't be silly. They cant even give us folders and themes let alone something to play. I'm off to play with my expensive calculator
PS2 was the golden era. Games were bought complete. No need for day one patches or stupid microtransactions. Developers were allowed to work their craft on a relatively small budget without the fear of failure. Today's graphics might be pretty but I think the gameplay has suffered. For this to be the golden era we need to stop the remakes and remasters and let them be consigned to gaming history for all of us to remember fondly.
@COVIDberry What is a Metroid community. Is that where geeks sit around talking about all things Metroid. Like Dungeons and Dragons kids did in the 90s. Just play the games. Oh and your attack on those two was a bit out of order
@RayCHrasH Is it yours. No. Do you own it. No. It's the same for music, movies etc. Just cos a Thin Lizzy album came out decades ago doesn't mean its okay to rip it cos you don't want to pay for it.
@Antraxx777 Future generations are not gonna care about old games. Teenagers are not eager to play Megaman or frogger and that resonates down the years. They look at these games and turn their noses up. It's only the geeks and nerds that think anyone cares about game preservation.

Re: Talking Point: E3 Leaks Are Inevitable, But Do You Actually Want To Know?
This is a huge turning point for the switch. If the games don't start coming in then it's the end of the lifespan as I see it. Which would mean a switch 2 is on the horizon.

It's not your job to preserve games. It's your job to play them.

Re: Former Metroid Prime Lead Designer Targeted With Abusive Messages
@COVIDberry
What is a Metroid community.
Is that where geeks sit around talking about all things Metroid.
Like Dungeons and Dragons kids did in the 90s.
Just play the games.
Oh and your attack on those two was a bit out of order
Re: Former Metroid Prime Lead Designer Targeted With Abusive Messages
@anoyonmus
He said nothing upsetting. If people get upset by what he said then they need to grow up. I'm disappointed but I'm sure I'll survive
Re: Former Metroid Prime Lead Designer Targeted With Abusive Messages
I'm shocked. Getting abused online in this day and age. Whatever next.
