Metroid Prime is still really, really good and the remaster looks and plays great. It’s a lot darker than I remember though. Not in tone, but visually. Unless I’m in a brightly lit outdoor area, I can’t see poo poo. It’s like scuba diving in black coffee and there’s no gamma or brightness sliders to mess around with.

Splatoon DLC pricing up

https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/splatoon-3-expansion-pass-switch/

$25 is a bit steep with very little info

“A new single-player campaign called Side Order super jumps to the Splatoon 3 game in the second wave of this DLC. See what has become of Inkopolis Square, the central area featured in the Splatoon 2 game!”

At least it seems like the story revolves around Inkopolis Square, so the alt lobby seems like more of a bonus while they are still working on DLC

I wish Konami would finally bring Bishi Bashi to US audiences. It was a PS1 game series that was similar, but focused around competitive play. There was a European release but Americans never got to know this game

some of the leaks said it's been done since mid-2021, but those were also saying it'd be this sort of total graphical overhaul, not a barebones port

Metroid remaster is loving great. Hopefully 2 and 3 get the same treatment. Would love to play 3 without motion controls, could never get into it and the trilogy release on Wii as a result.

yeah unless I'm missing something it's just Retro that's credited for the Remaster. they're still the masters of getting the best possible graphics and performance out of Nintendo's consoles.
I guess this kinda serves as a tech demo for Prime 4 then, huh

Yeah they’re the Naughty Dog of Nintendo consoles except they make fun games instead of long movies with control sticks
