So a little of both then, good to know.

To be honest I’ve only ever experienced the first game via Let’s Plays and the anime as I missed out on the DS version and had to abandon the Switch version because it was too awkward to play with just my fingers (unless the TV Mode option works a little better controls wise).

Was the mobile port any good?

Don't know about the rest of the week, but it seems like they're done for today, but everything they covered is it's own video on their youtube channel.

2D or FPS? Pretty different.

Super Metroid and Metroid Prime are probably the best starting places IMO.

To actually touch on video games, Metroid Dread might actually get me to buy a Metroid game. Also I was given a Nintendo gift card as an early Father's Day present so I think I'm finally going to buy Slay the Spire and maybe a 3DS game.

I remember really convincing myself that Hunters was good back in the day. I think I was just swept up in the hype of the DS and found excuses for all of the launch titles (including Project Rub). I told myself it was my fault that playing Hunters turned my hand into a misshapen claw because I hadn't correctly worked out how to utilize the power of dual screen.

super metroid, metroid fusion, zero mission. either the better metroid 2 remake am2r or if not then the 3ds one is fine.

Super metroid it is, it seems. Yeah I was around and gaming during the snes/nes era but I didn't have access to those so I missed a lot of gaming stuff. I'll try Super Metroid when I have some time.

super is a snes game and will demand you explore on your own and figure stuff out. fusion is a lot more modernised and directed if you prefer thaht

Hasn’t Dread been in development hell since way back in the GBA days? I recall seeing some beta screenshots of a game with the same name a long time ago.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I liked the scene where Jacob Gyllenhall was running from ice like it was a slasher movie.

Super Metroid is one of the best video games ever made, like easily top 10. So absolutely that one. Metroid Prime is also amazing.

Made my first batch of chicken today and while it is good, I am definitely going back to unload the entire 70% of the rest of the peppers into the batch. I took the advice of adding in more spices than the recipe listed and I can definitely taste the extra garlic which is nice, but I wanna feel the burn on these

Sakamoto did an interview and got asked about this specifically and Dread was more of a nonstarter. First on the DS and canceled because the DS wasn't capable of what they wanted, a second unspecified time that also got canceled, and now here we are the third time with an almost complete game that's releasing in a few months.

I assume they had Dread on the shelf while Other M was in production, and then the next opportunity would've been the Wii U, which... well..............

So after that one Fire Emblem game with the good art on Steam was apparently not good at all, I saw Dark Deity which came out today. Someone on Twitch I was following that I didn't recognize at all was playing it - turns out it was Kpoptosis, an old Dota2 production guy who now works for the publisher. The rundown he gave showed that the game had a lot of good ideas - no permadeath, but if a character dies they get a permanent stat debuff based on the attack that hit them, so there's an actual decision to make instead of just "oh someone died mandatory restart." You get bonus rewards for clearing maps faster to give you some incentive to not just stall every single fight for a million turns to play 100% safe, exacy stat gain aptitudes are just shown to you outright, character skills and class skills, just sounds like a lot of good design decisions
