would be kind of weird to only get the first metroid prime remastered, right? especially if this thing sells like hotcakes, which...seems likely.

i guess it's good to know they have the mp engine ready to go. not sure how hard it would be to remaster mp2 and mp3 based off this mp1 remaster? they were very similar engine-wise, i think?

Looks like the $69.99 price tag for Tears is confirmed now.

Either they're doing some surprise shenanigans or they don't want to reveal to people how much of the game is just a retread of the original's landscape.

I suspect both.

it's going to both have ww style sailing as well as be set underground

Haven't played much XBC3, but when they showed that second new character, there was a shot of a landscape that really looked like the Bionis Knee from the first game.

I'm actually surprised Switch got We ❤️ Katamari, I once bought an old used Xbox 360 exclusively to play it and dragons dogma.

When Reroll came to PC I figured they'd release the follow-up but haven't heard a peep about it coming to steam

It's a wild year. There's not enough time.

Will get: Pikmin 4, We Love Katamari, Tears of the Kingdom. These are all pretty much Day 1 purchases.

Considering seriously: Octopath Traveler II, Advance Wars, Return to Dreamland, Metroid Prime Remastered. Metroid Prime and Octopath are pretty much guaranteed.

Considering: Ghost Trick. I've played it and it's very cool don't know if I need to replay it.

Maybe considering: Dead Cells Castlevania

Splatoon 3 DLC looks pointless. Unless it comes with the Single player campaign, I'm skipping the first wave.

Engage: which I now want to get means I'll get the Hector DLC, the best lord.

I'm incredibly excited for GBA and GB games. I'm not huge on the N64 stuff (give me Smash), but I love d-pad portability. A lot of these games I have on my 3DS though (how convenient for them the shop closes in month).

Naw. The epic directs were in the past. Remove the stuff you already knew about and the remakes and the direct was pretty empty, actually. Cool looking visual novel, though. Not sure I'd call that epic, though.

Or have your expectations gotten so low?

If being happy that I don’t have to dig out a Wii and working Wiimote to play Prime 1 counts as low expectations, gently caress yeah I’m rock bottom, now give me that Prime drop

the version I'm seeing on the store for release today is eSports sponsored, costs $0.99 cents, and mentions absolutely nothing about the idea of modes period

so it's looking like a pretty profound "no", sadly

Hoping the GB and GBA emulators have rewind. I miss that from the 64 games. It's such a nice little thing to include.

They're just slapping it in an emulator so it's like 0 effort and Symphonia is beloved enough that it'll probably still move a ton of units, at least enough to make up for the 'work'
