Played Dead Cells for the first time in a couple years last night. Didn't pick up the Castlevania DLC, but I had recently picked up all the previous DLC while they were at all-time lows. I forgot how awesome this game is...though it seems like the performance on Switch has gotten way worse over time. Load times are way longer than before.

We played the Wave 4 tracks in Mario Kart 8 last night. I feel like each wave keeps getting better and better, with Wave 4 being the best yet! Even the Tour courses were all really solid, and all of the other courses were great! There wasn't a single dud, IMO.

Loving Metroid Prime, aged better than anticipated. Wish you could turn up the brightness though. TV is a bit rough but handheld is really bad (non-OLED). Playing in my truck waiting on my kid at Karate... Near impossible to see some rooms with all the daylight.

Back in a TMNT mood so I’m finally finishing up Shredder’s Revenge. Think I have 2 levels left. Mega easy but my god do I love the art in this game, it’s so perfect. And all the little easter eggs and whatnot rule so hard. Not even a huge fan of beat em ups, but I could totally use a sequel tbh.

On the subject of beatemups, apparently Streets of Rage 4 got a big update yesterday too

Thank you for the heads up! Checked and game n DLC are 50% off too.

Ori and the blind forest is on sale for $4.99, ori and the will of the wisps $5.99. Are these must have metroidvanias?

They're the best ones I've played in a very long time

Thanks. I was going to get Adium Verge 2 while it’s on sale for $15.99, but those Ori games seem like a much better deal.

I didn't yet play Wisps, but Ori was enjoyable. A must have? I don't know. Very subjective. Hard to answer. But worth 4.99? I'd say yes.

Speaking of Cuphead, how was the dlc?

At that price, I'd say get one or both. As for are they must have "metroidvanias"? That a matter of opinion. I got a good ways into the first one and got pretty bored with it. I don't think of it as a metroidvania so much as a platformer.

Still haven't played it

Lol brother, I’ve got no answer for you. One of these days, hopefully.

My buddy and I actually just recently restarted it from the start to play through it via multiplayer, so maybe that will result in me beating it sometime this decade.

I'm not much of a fan of beat em ups either, but I've always loved the TMNT games. Shredder's Revenge was excellent. I got it for Father's Day last year and made my wife play it with me and the kids lol

I've seen it described as a "platforming metroidvania", and I think that's fair. Maybe a bit more platforming than metroidvania, but there's enough metroidvania elements in it that I think that label is totally reasonable.

@back4more Both are definitely "must haves" IMO, and well worth those prices.

Thanks @KCPenguins and @Scott . I started the second Ori gamelast night and see what you guys mean about the platforming, cool combo with the metroidvania.

The first one is very linear. I heard the second one was more open.

I'm finally playing Twilight Princess (HD). I played it once a long time ago on Gamecube but didn't make it super far before giving up on it. It was just during a weird time period of gaming for me, and I wasn't in the right mood to fully enjoy and appreciate it.

So far, it's pretty awesome! I love that it has the graphic style of OoT, only much better. I'm not too far into it yet, but it's really looking like this is going to beat OoT for me. It just seems like it's going to be better all around.

For me, GameCube is the only system I finished it on. I played TP on both Wii and Wii U but stopped about halfway through. Loved it that first time though.

Metroid Prime, on the other hand, I didn't finish on GC. I saved in the Phazon Mines last night and that's the farthest I've ever been. Really like it and hope the other two come to Switch.

I wonder which is a better experience for the Twilight Princess prior to the Wii U: with the wiimote & nunchuk controls, or
