I think Metroid: Samus Returns for 3DS is the first Metroid with a fast travel system. I guess Prime 3 had the ship with a few points on each world it can drop you off at.

Super Metroid is well designed enough to not need fast travel points.

For reference, I just found the super-speed upgrade in Norfair. Not in usual gameplay but there's a debug option that lets you select which area to start up in. You'd need a game genie or equivalent, though.

Thanks, all. I'll just be patient and keep spelunking. Game's great, and the sound design is unbelievable given the limitations. (Follow-up question: what's the best way to kill those loving vampire cricket things? I survived a roomful of them largely by accident, but I think I curled into a ball and bombed them?)

My guess is that some version of the Rare collection is coming to Switch. It makes perfect sense for MS to do it since it's pretty much free money and lots of goodwill, something they really need right now. But here's a nice video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ2-FfXZlAU I love the angry drummer.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised because "gaming news" sites will post anything for clicks but the whole Banjo WiiU stuff is especially stupid because it's very clear that they were added with placeholder dates like 8 years ago and they just forgot they were still in the system. It's less than meaningless.

Len posted:The Rare Replay is the only Xbone exclusive game, it isn't on PC More money from people who own a Switch but not an Xbox platform, particularly since a lot of the games on Rare Replay are ones that N64 players in particular are nostalgic for. It's not too bizarre, Microsoft's more than happy to take certain properties to other consoles, like Ori and Cuphead to Switch, or Minecraft to everything. It's certainly more likely than Mother 3 at this point.

For the same reason that they handed over Banjo & Kazooie and Steve to Smash. They didn't do that out of the good will of their heart. I doubt they actually asked for any money there, it's just to be good guys.

Missiles and super missiles will kill them, though it might not seem like it because of oddities in where those spawn when you fire them in different directions and the hitboxes involved. Standing and firing a Super Missile to the side or jumping and firing either down should do it. Or bombs, like you found out, and a few upcoming weapons make life easier as well.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I think Metroid: Samus Returns for 3DS is the first Metroid with a fast travel system. Prime 2 had some warp points you could use once you got the light suit too. That one was particularly annoying to navigate what with the light/dark worlds and all that. Super metriod does some one way progression gating that would be hosed up by fast travel but a late game warp system would be a good addition for cleaning up missed items imo.

Anything first party to look forward to on this thing other than botw2, or should I still assume it's just a little indie machine? Nintendo put out strong "phoning it in" vibes after breath of the wild / Odyssey and while I'm sure the pandemic impacted lot of their development plans I don't think I've booted up a proper switch game in over 12 months. Just playing ports and 2D games over here. Everything first party or exclusive is just so uninspiring on the eshop. I did get cook eat delicious 2 or whatever for $2 which is fun enough I guess. I've put thousands of hours of time into this machine so I have definitely gotten my money's worth. Just wish I had more to be excited about for this platform, especially now that the next gen consoles are here and in fact very good My next big anticipated titles are silksong (not an exclusive) and MH rise (gently caress yessss this is gonna own). I think Mario 3D world will also be pretty cool but wow they really milked the wiiu releases for three years huh

Of course they're making something, the question is do y'all think they're making something good that isn't BOTW2? For my personal preferences/tastes, the last six or so exclusives have been very hit or miss. Then you see odd side projects like the FE nes romhack and the mario $60 bundle and ehhh kinda reinforces the whole idea of this is rehash land Who even is talking about their profitability lol what an odd thing to bring up in a non finance forum. You got nintendo stock? Maybe I should get some... also I realize the irony of posting this when I'm using my ps5 exclusively to play years old ps4 games KingSlime fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Dec 31, 2020 |

Paper Mario looked good on all fronts other than the combat which was a bit of a deal breaker, from what I read and saw I don't think I would have enjoyed dropping the full $60 on it. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a pretty safe bet for $60 though.

Earlier I came in looking for games like fantasy life, was recommended Rune Factory 4, which I had the for the ds. And with Rune Factory 5 coming out in 2021 I probably wouldn't get Rune Factory 4S. Anyways I bought WorldNeverland - Elnea Kingdom based off Story of Seasons players, and it's interesting? It's on sale for $15, and I guess it's sort of a life sim where you're supposed to last several generations, working jobs getting skills. I think it's worth it for the sale
