I was just setting my new Switch OLED and after downloading a bunch of games, the system threw an Orange Screen of Death. Is this unit just toast? I power cycled and got it to boot again, but what I’m seeing online is that it’s a fatal Wifi chip error that will just come back.

I already returned the first one she got me as the right joycon was dropping connection while connected to the system and I didn’t wanna deal with customer service.

…ugh.

e: I’m just gonna return this one too and deal with my Lite until Switch 2. Such a disappointment. Nintendon’t make good hardware anymore.

Probably gonna wait for a physical copy of MP. Really looks to be more of a remake than a remaster tbh.

Couldn’t wait out the physical version and picked up Metroid Prime Again. Man, this game is pretty and runs smooth.

One of the most surprising parts is just how cool the Switch stays running it. Pokemon Scarlet turned my OLED into a hand warmer by comparison.

Apparently the Prime 1 Remaster wasn't just Retro, but co-devolved by Iron Galaxy Studios, whoever the hell they are.
Makes me wonder if Nintendo does want to do Echoes and Corruption Remasters, if they will take the lead on them because I can't imagine Retro still working on remasters and Prime 4 at the same time.

Iron Galaxy has been a dev studio for like 15 years, fronted by games press bff Dave Lang and Adam Boyes. They’ve done a ton of good games, some great games, and a few stinkers (usually because they weren’t given enough time and they outspokenly refuse to crunch).

They made the Killer Instinct reboot for Xbone among other original games but mostly get by doing mercenary port work. They’re almost certainly doing the other two ports with some oversight.

Metroid Prime isn’t an FPS on GameCube because you shoot with a face button

It is an FPS on Switch tho, unless you still use the A button, like a psycho

They're not doing any of the other ones. They're working on Metroid Prime 4. If you want to play Trilogy then dig out your WiiU.

why wouldn’t they, they need some games in the intervening years before mp4 drops in 2026

there could also be underground sections or a dark world or something wild, idk.

a buddy pirated it but he hasnt gotten very far in last i asked if there were real dungeons. i would assume the concrete answers to this are out there if you cared to risk knowing more than you bargained for by googling.

Never played Metal Gear Solid (well, maybe for minutes here and there), but it's a series I've always wanted to play. Seemed cool.

Would I be making a mistake if I jumped into Snake Eater first? Or is this something where I need to start from the original MGS?

Edit: Or are these bad ports and I shouldn't bother with them?

i think you should probably just play release order
