Wario Chalmers! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Super Metroid is a must play because they don’t make maps like that anymore. Tightly designed, interconnected, and no fast travel needed because your movement upgrades eventually have you flying around the map. It’s clear that they designed some of the opening levels with endgame traversal options in mind.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Sega is schizophrenic about stuff like that. On one hand you get Christian Whitehead showing up all of Sonic Team Japan and on the other you get them taking down YouTube channels for the crime of hosting Shining Force videos.

Also remember that Nintendo took the best possible route to dealing with it. The official C&D/implied legal threat came a day or so AFTER the full game released. Long enough that a bunch of people downloaded it and it's super easy to find online, quick enough that Nintendo's rear end is covered on a "defending our copyright and trademark" sense.

Plus, Samus Returns came out only a year after the C&D was issued. Nintendo waited as long as reasonably possible imo

yeah the fatigue I get with all the metroidvanias now I never got with Zero Mission or Super Metroid. Sometimes having a gigantic map and gameworld in a metroidvania is awful when there's way too much ground to cover.

3ds also has Metroid Federation Force which is similarly hated but honestly I think it's a pretty good game.

It is! It's a fun multiplayer shooter and is definitely worth playing if you have friends to come with you.

Hell yeah, and make sure you have bugs that make your defense drop in half for equipping items and have the final tournament be randomly decided with one team tricked out to competitive levels.

Hey look I made Bobomb battlefield in unreal 4! It plays and sounds exactly like an HD version of the original, I used the model from Galaxy.

What!? Nintendo took this down? HOW DARE THEY need with that guy's artistic vision!


In all seriousness though I think AM2R is fine, but way overrated.

I don't know how they do it but Into the Breach is giving me the same amazing vibes that FTL did. I really hope that gets sent over to Switch. Would happily double dip, especially since iOS never got the expansion.

I got so much mileage out of FTL that I have no problem paying again.

Same. I booted it up on Steam just to see, and it's terrific. Only the final boss is kinda dumb because there are really certain layouts that are great at killing it, with others giving you way too much trouble (old spoiler Yes I griped about the "automated" spaceship endlessly, why the hell make a boarding crew set-up...). But it's never been a game about the destination but rather the journey. And that journey... Those developers are two for two so far, I'd be happy to give them as much money as I can.

Perhaps I was mistaken. I haven't played it in about 3 years. I just checked the Apple Store and it indeed says it was Advanced Edition.

SMBX and a good handful of mario romhacks are way better than NSMB and mario maker.

I don't believe you at all. It is so loud and I understand why this was more fine on a handheld than on a system that docks and uses the TV. It's like the loud-rear end battle sounds in XBC2 where everyone's yelling random stuff. Great games, but jesus why is it so loud?

This is 100% true, but Freedom Planet was really built to fill in the "gap" of sonic games (edit: this is how it felt when I played it and the impression I got from the promos) , but I wonder if the indie dev timeline is why it came out after Sonic Mania.
