Bizarrely, each Prime game is worse than the previous one.

Yeah, but if Prime is a 10, then the worst you can say about Echoes and Corruption was that they were a 9 and a 8.5. It's not like Corruption was this horrible downgrade that doesn't deserved to be played.

I liked corruption the best because the general lack of backtracking or the game wasting my time. The mechanics were implemented seamlessly and a lot of things like travel became more convenient.

Echoes is kinda weird in that it's way better after you've played through it once. I like it a lot more than Corruption but it does have the worst artifact hunt

I hope GoodFeel is making another Yarn/Wool game. Assuming that only a small division tackled the new Streetpass games, then they would have had a year and a half already working on something else, which could mean a new game this or next year.

I'd dig Felt Metroid, or Matte Wario.

I hope Good Feel can make another hand-animated game like Wario Land: Shake It, that has to be one of the most gorgeous games I've ever seen

I loved Wario Land: Shake It's animation and art design, it was all really distinctly Wario, which in itself was over-the-top and cartoonish. And also it brought us this gem:



I would love to see a hand-animated game like it again but with a different franchise, maybe even for something unexpected that they've never tried alternative art styles for.

I ended up driving around to a few Best Buys and other stores clearing out Christmas gift cards. The Nintendo sections are devastated. Nothing in the case (3DS or Wii U) and the games are in a small section. Plenty of $50 classic controllers though. The Lego Dimensions shelf was also bare but they have everything on sale for half off.

It's good and the only one of the Prime series to present an actual challenge. If the ammo system has been implemented better/wasn't there I'd prefer it to the first one.

I'm excited for the Switch and for playing it at home and never using it as a portable because with the joycons and poo poo how portable can it possibly be


Hopefully they release a handsome carrying case and screen protector.

Echoes environments are cool, the swamp area and the initial dusty bug desert place feel organic and weird in a very Super Metroid way. They're not as pretty as Prime's better areas but I dig them. And the super tech tower is cool and looks great. It stumbles a bit with the ammo and dark world integration, which feels too much like them flailing to mix things up for a sequel, and the Ing are lame as hell.

I'd like to see a remake of Super Metroid like how Zero Mission was an enhancement of the original Metroid. Maybe something like what they did with Link Between Worlds.

Can i sneck in to say that Link Between Worlds is the best zelda game indecades? like it everything that i love about gaming, it is a game made for the system itself, a gimmick for puzzles that is not poo poo, money in the game is useful. it had balls for making a zelda game where you don't get weapons from the dungeons. i love it and the idea of doing something like that with metriod make me shoot out baby cream out of my love stick.

but i would love to see the splatoon team make a new metriod, a new generation of game devs given the rights of metriod is better then just getting another prime game.

it was fine but it should of been announced around a wii u metriod game. like i am sure it far better then hunters but at least it came out in middle of a block of good metriod games and not 7 years after the worst one.

if during the direct they announced metriod U and then announce this in their big treehouse stream i am sure it announcement won't have manchildren calling world leaders to cancel the game.

For what it's worth, it's pretty safe to bet there won't be an EU/PAL delay on getting the Switch released. Level 4 EB members in Australia got to enter a competition for a chance to win invites to go try the Switch in an exclusive demo event on the 15th of January.

And I didn't win, dammit! :rant:
