I’ve never played Golden Sun, I’ll be sure to give it a go whenever it drops on NSO. The screenshots do look pretty (just not as pretty as the 10/10 Minish Cap )

Just played for another hour. The biggest differences from the first game are the day/night cycle and the water travel. You can switch between day and night by just pressing the ZR button. I used this to finish the first side quest as Throne, to make a thief appear. While on the canoe, I came to a grotto or something with a danger level 34. Quickly turned back around lol.

Golden Sun was awesome. I beat The Lost Age a couple years ago recently on my DS with my original cart. Never played the DS version (it's sitting on the shelve).

I would love a new version of Golden Sun.

Playing Minish Cap again. It's been a long time, but I hope the hat shuts the fudge up. Not quite as bad as Navi, but I don't need interrupted with dialog explaining what I was trying to go do before the damn hat stopped me in my tracks. Brings back flashbacks of LISTEN!!1!1!!

Aside from that this is probably the most charming Zelda game.

Minish Cap and the Oracle games are some of the best classic Zelda games.

Pretty excited to try the Oracle games. I only played one for a bit, never the other. Back on Minish Cap, yet another game that could've greatly benefited from the GBA having 4 face buttons like the SNES. For such a great system, that was a terrible choice.

Wow. You backed that? Must have been around 2 years ago.

I was just browsing the rewards, and one of them was particularly interesting to me. They included a copy of The Messenger (same developers I think)

Cool.

I'm playing through Super Mario Land 2 right now. Never played it before for some reason. Thought I'd just play for a little bit but have already collected 4 of the 6 coins. I'll probably finish it tomorrow.

6 Golden Coins is great. Wario Land (Super Mario Land 3) is my favorite though growing up.

The soundtrack of that game is fun and squeaky :)

The bosses are interesting too. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't say anything about them. It wouldn't be a major spoiler, but anyway.

Sun wrote:
Yes! Wario Land, and then 2, 3, and 4 were so good. I've said this before, but it's been too long since a Wario Land game was released.

The squeaky soundtrack!!! I missed this game so much!! Definitely playing through again. I got this game the day it came out as a kid and played through it soooo many times.

I did miss that soundtrack the most though I’m realizing

:) I was just listening to the soundtrack the other day.

Any particular favorite tracks?

:) Squeaky goodness. Brings me back. Ah, I miss those times. Going to Toys R Us, seeing all those boxed games and Gameboys on the shelf. Ahh, so good.

I literally remember getting this (and donkey Kong land at some point) from my local toys r us

Advance Wars: $59+99

I don't get it.

On another note, who'd they switch the perspective on the map screen in Advanced Wars Reboot?

I fully expected Advance Wars to be full price, but I really don't like it. I know it's two games. I know they are rebuilt from the ground up. And I know they are awesome games. But it feels like it should be a $30-$40 eShop game, not a full priced $60 game.

It's been $60 since before it got delayed. Wait 7 months and you can buy it for $40.

I don't think you will see $40 until possibly Black Friday if then.

Retail $60, then eShop should be $50 or a digital Deluxe Version if still charging $60. I would prefer this. At least on 1st party games across the board. What ya think?

Hope it plays like Advance Wars not Battalion Wars. Loved Advance Wars, not a fan of Battalion Wars. Have but never played Advance Wars 3DS, I am going to commit to playing it on 3DS before I think about getting it on Switch. Pretty sure I have the Ruin one too on 3DS.

Neon Abyss is on sale in the eshop for $7.99 (regularly $19.99). It's it a good metroidvania type game?

It's a rogue lite

Also, last I read the developers don't update the Switch version (many of these games smaller indie games are not updated) so I wouldn't bother.

Kommie wrote:

Bummer. Thanks for the correction and info though.

So we are getting Metroid Prime, that is cool. I was considering getting prime trilogy but if they release them all for $40 each it's still cheaper than a mint/new collector's edition on . So can you play Prime with the joycons like they did in the trilogy remaster?

Also, FIRST Power Pro baseball in the USA in 10 years! Plus Baten Kaitos I&II, as well as finally a release date for AW Remaster!

ErickRPG wrote:


Sounds like a barebones release which the price tag reflects($.99 baseball!). Probably dipping the toe in the water. If love another MLB Power Pros full release!

ErickRPG wrote:

Yeah, but the joycon control us never as good as Wii Remote controls. I haven't played yet (waiting to get physical), but all reports say joycon controls constantly need to be reset. It sounds like dual analog with gyro controls turned on is the best option.

bonham2 wrote:

I played Super Mario Galaxy on the switch with joycons it was pretty nice. But yeah I can see that being annoying. I guess I'll wait on this one and keep MPTrilogy as a possible option if it has superior waggle controls.

My concern is they're only going to release Prime and not 2&3. Sort of like Gears of War.

For me it's a Patrick Henry situation, fuk this Prime shiz give me trilogy or give me death.

Yeah the rumor for the longest time was that the whole trilogy was getting remastered together, then about a year ago it changed to just the first game. I wouldn't be surprised if they do end up remastering the other two games but releasing them all separately so they could get more than they would have if they had just bundled them into one $60 release.

If that is what they do, I wonder if they will add online play to Metroid Prime 2's multiplayer mode, or if they will leave that mode out completely? For example in the BioShock trilogy remaster, BioShock 2 has no multiplayer mode even though the original release had one, and I know there are other examples I'm forgetting at the moment where the remasters omitted multiplayer modes.

I'm annoyed that I clicker on this link. Now my YouTube algorithm is going to suggest RGT 85 videos for the next week. I really hate that guy. Everything is CONFIRMED OMG! Then he says the same thing over and over again for 10-15 minutes and nothing is ever confirmed. He is everything I hate about YouTube.

Cathedral is a great, old-school challenge. Still playing it. It's supposedly a 20+ hour Metroidvania game.

I thought I read something around the time that the focus turned to just the MP1 remaster that MP1 was a landmark title they wanted to do right, but 2 & 3 might just get ported and bundled together mostly as-is. Remastering all 3 games either separate or bundled wasn't something they felt strongly about doing. But given the interest in MP maybe they'll change their minds.
