Carrion is fun for a little while. The biggest sin is that there's NO MAP :argh:

i remember the control scheme in samus returns was fine it was just painful to grip the 3ds like that for any period of time. shouldn’t be a problem with the pro controller.

a right stick doesn't solve the annoyances of free aiming since you cant use the shoot or jump buttons if you are using the right stick
2d metroid never needed free aiming. 45 degree on a shoulder toggle was always fine.

This is true of any 3DS game.

One thing I can give credit to for Microsoft over Nintendo is that they've done a fairly good job of supporting old games and keeping things backwards compatible where they can.

It is extremely frustrating digital files from the Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS should be defunct and useless the next generation over.

I feel live I've heard that the very architecture and software running the switch makes it tricky, but even so the could at least give us access to the Nintendo brand old content available on the other systems, especially the pre-Wii stuff that the Switch shouldn't have issues emulating.

The fact that I'm patiently waiting to play N64 Zelda games on the Switch is wild, since I could play them reasonably emulated on the Wii like 13 years ago.

I hope they do less of a poo poo job going forward because if my entire digital library becomes bricked again switching to the Super Switch or Switch U or whatever I might just ignore Nintendo again for a while.


Legit if they could bake a bunch of major Nintendo titles from the Wii and back into the Nintendo Online service by the time of the next console that alone would be worth the purchase for me.

It's not much to go on, but that's interesting news. I'd buy it just for Aria, assuming it's literally only the GBA games in a three-pack. I was hoping for a Metroidvania collection to go with the Classicvania collection, but lol leave it to Konami to disappoint.

Why would they do that when they could do rondo/symphony, the GBA games, the DS games

That's four collections they could sell!

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.

So why not throw the DS ones in too?

Edit: Of course as I post I remember the, you know, dual screen part. But still that can be worked around I'd think

Konami is basically a shell corporation at this point and figuring out how to port the double touch screen games is way harder than just buying an emulator from the Limited Run Games guys and throwing a few GBA roms in it, unfortunately.

I bought Dawn of Sorrow and saw it was anime and never bought a Castlevania game again.

They rebooted it as an overly serious God of War clone and killed the franchise. Anime is where it thrived

It's only anime in the character portraits you see for like 2% of the playtime during a boss cutscene. The other 98% was just like SotN.
