Any difference between this upcoming one and that previous one?

Thanks for the link @KCPenguins

Wow. That's wild. I was hoping to get one of those. I've been pushing off playing Metroid Prime for ages now. Figured now was a great opportunity. I miss the days when it was simple to just walk into a store, buy that game you were interested in, pay, and leave. Simple. No crazy lines of resellers, or massive amounts of stock gone because someone ordered 27 copies of your game. It's kind of exhausting honestly. Takes some of the fun out of gaming, having to keep in mind that it might not be simple to get the product you're interested in. It's one thing if everyone going for these things were buyers who are actually interested in playing video games. But sadly that's not the case.

It's enough to make some people go digital.

Is there any amiibo support with Metroid Prime Remastered? I’ve still got Dread amiibos waiting for a reason to open.

Got my physical copy last night. I pre-ordered from GameStop because they advertised it would be released early, but it only arrived 2/21. I picked it up last night, but I was too tired to start it up. I can't wait to get started. MP is easily one of my top 2-3 games of all time.

MP is being scalped... lol

Sad times when standard edition games that aren't announced as limited release are being scalped. Wtf is wrong with the people paying more than MSRP? One account had 30+ copies available at nearly $80, and the sad thing is he likely sold some as it was an odd number.

Do these people just visit every local store and buy all the inventory? Seems like a lot of work and risk for what little they make after all the fees and expenses.

I'll just wait patiently for the restock. Also has me a bit worried for Zelda, but N should ship an asks of that.

Edit: Play Asia still has the American version for $45+shipping. I will still wait.

Probably bots mostly. And there's not really much risk if you can return them free of charge.

Other than reputational risk of everyone knowing what a jerk you are when you have 30 copies

I meant the risk of selling online, not getting stuck with them.

I'm playing YS VIII even though I beat it once on . It's such a great game though, but I know the PSV version was downgraded compared to consoles at the time. It does look much sharper. I love looking at the sand water and grass in this game.

If you haven't played YS8 it's probably my favorite. It's about crash landing on a tropical island and setting up camp. Lots of exploring, collection materials, upgrading weapons, etc. . The locations are beautiful and the music is great.

Once walked into Best Buy to get a 3DS game. The guy behind the counter said he couldn't give me a copy because although they had them in the store, someone had ordered around 20 copies. I think it was 17 or 27. The worker felt bad, but he said they had to fill the online orders.

That many copies of a game? Really? Several copies, okay, I hear. Collection, etc. But sometimes there is a thing as too much.

Check Walmart in store. They just put them out today at my store, and the lady said they weren't allowed to sell them until today. This is the same store that canceled my in store order yesterday. So two days ago showed 4 in store. Yesterday 0. Today they were there. Still available via Walmart in store pick-up as of now. Obviously ymmv.

Enjoying MPR so far. The control options make it infinitely better. I tried the traditional controls and woof. Playing handheld I like gyro assist. Playing docked I have to turn gyro off. I find the 3 shot burst before charging a bit odd. Nintendo taking a lesson fron the M16A2?

Is that available for download? Can’t watch the video at the moment.

I know I’m a dork, but this has been one of my favorite visuals from a video game for a while:

The Minish sections are so good.

I'd like to see the Minish in a 3D Zelda. I actually saw a couple of characters in the leaked art book that looked like possible Minish, and Link appeared to be small in a couple of pics. But maybe it was just the other stuff that was enlarged.

Me too! That and season-changing in a 3D Zelda are my top mechanic wants. I'd also like to see time travel again, but much more complex. I'm thinking something like Chrono Trigger where you can travel to multiple time periods, some very far in the past/future, and actions in the past can have huge effects on the future.

After 30+ hours, finally finished Cathedral on . Hard game. Died 217 times. Finished with 96% item completion. I missed 13 out of 100 books which unlocks the last bottle.

Game scales terribly in terms of enemy damage you take. Bosses are also sponges.

Waluigi Stadium, AND more past characters on the way, nice!

Give Me Toilet Paper! just released in the eShop, and to play it you insert your Joy-Con into a roll of toilet paper.

Lego Star Wars the Skywalker saga is 17.99 on the eshop until 3/19. I think this is the lowest price to date I have ever seen it.

More garbage for the eshop!

Metroid Fusion, OH yeah!

My all time favorite Metroid. Awesome

My all time 3rd favorite Metroid!

Samus Returns > Dread > Fusion > Zero Mission > Super Metroid > Metroid > Metroid II

What did you think of the Samus returns remake? That was the first Metroid game I got bored with and didn’t finish

Unless I'm missing something he has it 1st.

KCPenguins wrote:

Yep, that's my #1, and then the original (Metroid II: Return of Samus) is last. Samus Returns and Dread are VERY close for me. Both had their pros and cons over the other. Samus Returns' amazing soundtrack is what ultimately pulled it to the top.

We might be getting more DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe than we thought?

I still wish we could get a brand new Mario Kart, but this is better than nothing. What could be really cool is if future Mario Karts had all of these tracks available from the start. Or, start with new tracks in the base game, but add the rest of the existing tracks over time.

No. It didn't dissappear, it just moved to make room for the Wave 4 announcement and whoever posted that cropped it out.

Mario Kart 8 Double Dash Deluxe for the Nintendo Flip

That's what I'm talking about! I loved the unique mechanics in Double Dash, please bring them back Nintendo!

Scott wrote:


I'm the same way. I bought the Booster Course pass thingy on day one, thinking "alright we're not getting Mario Kart 9 but this will be just as good" and I was pretty hyped for it but I haven't played since the first wave released. It's cool that they're doing this at all, but in the end this is still Mario Kart 8, the same game we've been playing for almost a decade now.

Contrary to what non-fans might think, there is more to each new iteration of Mario Kart than just new tracks.

PizzaTheHutt wrote:

Unpopular opinion here but 8 is a far better kart racing game than 8DX.

So really it's only been the last 5ish years.
