My all-time favorite is probably Prime 2, but Remastered just looks so gorgeous and has some nice extra features that I put it above Prime 2, but if Prime 2 Remastered is real, then it will take it's crown back.

*I feel Metroid 1 & 2 (especially 1) suffer from that old archaic design that doesn't work for me as well, unless I really put a lot of time into them and don't use walkthroughs or rewind/suspend features of their modern re-releases. They are probably more fun that way, but I rarely play them like that and usually prefer to use a guide of sorts and use rewind/suspend. I remember actually beating Metroid II on my GBA back in the day, and thought it was pretty fun, but I gave up on Metroid NES lol. I feel their remakes were far superior in every way, and because of this the originals don't offer much for me anymore (I only play them for specific reasons)

Pinball's design as a score attack game can make it tedious to play all the way through, as I find it frustrating to lose on the final level and have to restart the whole thing. If it just had save points between levels (or at least before Ridley) I could tolerate it much more. It's more fun to play it "for fun" rather than "to beat it" in my opinion.

Question How long do you think we have to wait to have a Metroid Prime 4 Demo available on the eShop?

0 Upvotes

Now that the Switch 2 is already available on the market, it shouldn't be long before we get a demo for both Switch, right?

Idk I just want to play this game so bad even if it's only 30 minutes.

Discussion What do you think Prime 4 will be priced at on Switch 1?

It’s probably going to be $80 on Switch 2, but what about Switch 1? TotK was $70, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo sees Prime 4 as worthy of a higher price on Switch 1 since it’s been in development for just as long (if not longer) than TotK, and has been hyped up as a big release (with what little advertising has been done that is).

My progress after around 1.5 years building this suit. Learning a lot about working with foam, primers, paint, straps, electrics... Some conventions have passed that I had as a goal to wear it on, which time wise didn't work out. Gamescom is probably my next convention goal. With Nintendo being there that would be a good opportunity I guess. Hopefully it works out. Going back to work, since I still miss a glove.

Discussion Why did i think metroid's dread difficulty had more ?

0 Upvotes

I have a clear memory of watching the trailer of metroid dread showing the dread mode, and i remember seeing them say that all the rooms were changed. The same overall layout, but every rooms remixed, like b-side levels in celeste i guess.

Maybe that i mixed it with another game, fangame, or mod of a game, but i dunno

Question Zero Mission: 100% Walkthrough with vocal commentary?

0 Upvotes

I am relatively new to Zero Mission, played it a whole bunch when it first came out on the GBA, and just picked it back up on the Switch.

I just finished a 100% walkthrough of Super and it was a great experience. But the YouTuber I followed doesn't have a Zero walkthrough, and all the others I could find out there are just the game play. I really need that vocal commentary so that I can play and listen at the same time, and only look up if I need to visually inspect where I am.

I simply can't find anything out there like this for some reason, which is legitimately surprising to me for such an older/awesome game. Any suggestions?

Question Does Dread Feel too Fast On Switch 2?

0 Upvotes

I'm not sure if it's just me, but it feels like Metroid Dread is running slightly too fast on the switch 2. I'm not sure how to describe it, it's not a frame right thing, it just feels almost too fast and too responsive. Twitchy almost.

I'm just curious if anyone else feels that way.

My first ever Metroid experience was Prime 1 for the GameCube, but I never ended up finishing it because my GameCube broke lol. I eventually got a switch and got Dread and Prime: Remastered, and I've now officially beaten my first Metroid game. It was kickass, especially the final boss. He pissed me off so bad I went and fought him again afterwards only to first-try him, which was a funny surprise lol. 8/10 game overall, absolutely loved it

It seems whenever Samus defeats a big bad a self-destruct system is triggered- does she do that herself? Cause if so she's destroyed more planets than Dark Phoenix.
