Zelda was out of stock earlier today, but isn't now, apparently. However I don't see the BOGO promo on it now, which is more likely why it couldn't be ordered for a while, they took it down to remove that.
Apparently, the B1G1 50% off deal was working on Zelda, Pikmin 4, and Metroid for a short period of time.
Yes, it was working on those. I had some in my cart and was debating on purchasing when they fixed it and I got an error code. Now they don't work for the bogo50% I wonder if they'll honor it for those who got it in time or if they'll cancel the orders.
I picked up the Metroid remaster too. It's amazing how great the game looks on the Switch. It's like a brand new game. I played for over an hour this evening. Well worth the $40 asking price.
I never buy digital so I cannot wait for the physical release. Am gonna move to jump back into this... I hated the Wii release since I hated Wiimote controls so super happy they allow for a traditional control scheme on this. Would be even better if you could use a GC controller via the adapter to play this.
So, I'd like to pick the game up, but I'm worried about it feeling dated. The only Metroid game I've played is Dread, which was great. I'm worried I'll buy Prime and it'll feel like an old version of Doom or something
I just tested it with the Gamecube adapter that was released for the Wii U and one of my Gamecube controllers. It works as expected. There are settings under controls for classic control settings. I prefer the modern control scheme with the pro controller though.
Metroid Prime was pretty advanced for it's time and the remaster makes it look and feel like the best modern 3D games on consoles. The game is a first person 3D adventure game. Metroid Dread is more a classic 2D version of Metroid with modern 3D models and graphics. Both are good for different reasons in my opinion.
I went ahead and picked it up. Really enjoying it so far. Definitely a legit remaster
yourself up, play through the intro of Metroid Prime Remastered and then change the controls to the Classic controls.
Top down DMC? I can’t comprehend this but I’m curious. Also, just noting DmC is the one we do not talk about and I doubt inspired anything, DMC is the main series
That said, at least DmC’s Dante isn’t quite as repulsive as DMC’s.
I think he’s a fun character, and I don’t remember any scenes too problematic, if that’s what you’re talking about. Other than being the one supposed to fill Trish’s dark soul with LIIIIIIGHT-Liiiight-liiight...And DMC has Nero as a more generic hero character to play off original Dante’s increasing zaniness now. I don’t remember much about DmC Dante other than the haircut and constant profanity. Didn’t his game have a scene where he slaughters a bunch of demonic so called B*thches and Wh*res at a strip club though? The ones fawning at his feet in most of the promo images. What I remember of that is more repulsive than anything I can recall about original Dante, but it’s been awhile.
Got these on the $13.39 sale just before Christmas, played them both for the first time within the week. Look great, run great (solid 60 fps while played entirely in tabletop), only minor gripe is that the loading times between levels/death screens are a little long.
Ah right, big mistake on my part. I completely forgot about that one aside from the name. It's heavily combo-based so I guess that's the link going from the preview I read. Not a lot of reviews up, but I thought I'd support a solo dev. It goes on sale digitally for around $6 regularly as well.
Thank you!
Yeah, I'd buy this for sure. Especially with the Battle Network collection coming. I haven't been playing the GB/A games in handheld mode at all because the d-pad is a bit too uncomfortable for me to use.
I love playing them on my switch. Doing the bonus levels on the first one almost complete and then on the portal 2 which I really loved on PS3. No brainer at this price and if they come physical I'm getting them to collect.
Not a perfect solution but the official NES controllers will work as joycons when playing in handheld mode.... though it looks a bit monsterous. If not concerned with playing in handheld, then the NES controllers should work for GB stuff, though I think the better deal are the SNES controllers as they have a wider range of compatibility since they have the extra ZL/ZR buttons on top as well as the standard L&R.
Yeah I have like 4 of those. Better than the Switch Lite dpad but wish the dpad were higher.
Have the NES, SNES, N64, and Sega Switch controllers and playing with NES attached is a joke.
I feel like all these classic console accessories are a total waste of money. I rarely use them since the pro controller works just fine with the classic console games for me. I tried using the N64 controller for Goldeneye with the standard control scheme and it did not make the game any easier to play for me. I know that is the "authentic" way to play, but my mind has been conditioned to play FPS games a certain way for the past 20 years.
