I bought that HORI travel pouch on Amazon, I hope it's good. Only problem I see is that it only holds 5 games and there doesn't seem to be an inside pouch for wires

A composer who likes Metroid games is composing for Retro Studios is a huge leap of faith, but I guess when you're a metroid fan you don't have much to go on.

Metroid is dead or the things it did very well have been grasped by other games that I'm not sure Nintendo could do it justice again.

There are so many good metroidvanias at this point that it would take a really, really strong showing for a 2d Metroid to be well received. I'm not sure if the capability is there, much as I'd love to see it. Kind of just expecting Prime 4 eventually.

But if it's Retro they're surely building Metroid Prime so whether 2d Metroid has been eclipsed or not is irrelevant.

It's really pretty awesome. The sword fighting game really feels like you are blocking a sword. The marble rolling is awesome, and so is the dice shaking.

It'd probably be a Metroid Prime game if only to get well away from the last Metroid game that came out...

Game isn't great for more than a short burst but it really does show off the HD rumble in a wide number of settings. Mario Kart is a great example of how it can be used in actual game play.

I've finished both Shovel Knight (and both DLCs) and Master Blaster Zero and they were as good as advertised. Especially the latter.

I hope ARMS gets some DLC guest characters. Dhalsim being the obvious but also some others.

To me at least.

Other than Hollow Knight (waiting on switch ver so idk), none of these really compare to how good the designs of Super Metroid/Fusion/Zero Mission.

There are a lot of games that attempt Metroidvania or what Metroid tries to do, but pretty much none of them have the same polish or tight movement/level designs that make Metroid feel special.

Like I'm personally still looking forward to Ghost Song but at this point I've just accepted that nothing will really capture Metroid again fully.

The thing with Nintendo characters is that (aside from maybe the glut of Animal Crossing amiibo) every single one of them has fans who will fork over money to buy it. Especially when most of them have no other similar merchandise, like Shulk or Olimar. As for the Links, everyone has their own personal favourite Legend of Zelda game and Link to go with it. I've already preordered a Majora's Mask Link :shepspends:.

That's why I bought Ryu, and plan on getting both versions of Cloud.

Does Mario Kart use HD Rumble? I haven't tried 1-2 Switch yet to compare but I could swear the rumble feels different depending on terrain.

Mario Kart uses SD rumble. It's a port, not a remake.

The HD rumble in Puyo Puyo Tetris is pretty great whenever you lose. The board collapses and you can feel all the tetrominos and puyos fall down.

So my Switch case doesn't have spare room for the extra joycons. Anyone got recommendations for a joycon carrying case I can toss in my backpack without fear of the joysticks getting messed up?
