seriously though how can I buy a switch at normal price? It seems the only way is to harass big box store employees on a regular basis.

Just ask them what days of the week they usually get stock and stop by on those days in the morning. You'll find one pretty quick that way.

Could you list them?

hollow knight
guacamelee
cave story
axiom verge
DS castlevania games
BONUS: Ori although i havent played this one myself

ok that's just four new ones but seriously unless you were around for classic metroid, it's not unheard of to think that most people dgaf about metroid

metroid fans always seem to underestimate just how niche the series is, it's not 1990 anymore yo

I like metroid but I also like other games and 2d exploration based platforming has a lot to offer outside of nintendo's offerings

Metroid is not niche it's one of the most well known of all the Nintendo franchises.

off the immediate top of my head, axiom verge, ori and the blind forest, momodora: reverie under the moonlight, teslagrad (even if the last two were sadly short)

i hear hollow knight and owlboy are good too, shantae has been brought up in this thread, cave story was good even if it's been re-released more than skyrim at this point

e: poo poo I can't believe I forgot guacamelee

Just one more thing!
I've never been a huge Metroid fan but like the series enough to play them, and I think Samus Returns looks good and I am going to buy it.

This has also made me remember that I have not taken the time to play through Prime 2 and 3 ever and I should do that since I have the trilogy on Wii U.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Interesting design things. I really like the parry/cannonsmack, the cinematic attacks on downed enemies not so much. They feel like they interrupt things too much. We'll see how mandatory they are in play.

Have you tried hollow knight? Holy poo poo it is so good, highly recommended

Prime 2 is really good and gets unfairly poo poo on because of some clumsy choices re: the dark world and ammo, which are not great but hardly game ruining.

Prime 3 is good, has some really weak parts that felt like they were trying to ape Halo, but still worth playing.
