Thank you for the heads up on the Samus Returns theme for 3DS. I bought a “New Nintendo 3DS XL” solely so I could get my Zelda/Metroid/Castlevania classics fix, only to learn that I still need to pull out my DS Lite or GBA in order to play the GBA games. My girlfriend has them on her Wii U (Switch doesn’t have the…

I hope this is going to be good enough that people buy it enough that Nintendo will make more.

Despite the NES being my first game console, I have never had any real affinity for the vast majority of Nintendo’s IP. I don’t really care about Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros., Kirby, Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, F-Zero, Star Fox, etc., etc. They’re all fine series’ in their own right, but none of them motivate me to go…

AM2R is the best Metroid game in years.

For me personally my purchase does, and always will, depend on the quality of the product once released.

Hey Stephen, have you tried Hollow Knight? Not entirely the same, but a fantastic Metroid Vania game to be sure!

It is extremely important that fans of the Metroid franchise support this and Prime 4 if we want to see a new Metroid game ever again. It’s a very similar situation to Sonic Mania and the N Sane Trilogy.

Thank prominent members of your community who helped make your game successful? Sure. Put them in the game as easter eggs.

“Cancerous YouTube Screamlords” is now my preferred insult for the comment section.

Can you still change foliage density under graphics options? If so, that’s a far bigger problem than adding an audio slider to car horn volume.

how would it be unfair for people to control their own volume? if anything, allowing people to turn it off, would potentially hinder their awareness of car but that’s on the person who turns it down. I don’t see your argument.

I wonder how your opinion of the game would change if you were forced to endure 12 hours of that when you were just trying to play a game.

I can turn the knob on my headphones and turn volume down. Are you saying that’s cheating too?

The funniest part of all of this, to me, is that the solution is very, very, very, very simple!

Except the original game was cutting edge and realistic for its time. This trailer looks like it was produced over 10+ years ago.

The original game was one of the most graphically impressive games on the market at the time of its release. Obviously, this one doesn’t have the sort of funding that the original had, but that doesn’t excuse the stiff animations and the serious disconnect between the character models and their environments. That’s…

Actually, it kind of was. It’s obviously dated now, but at the time, Shenmue had some of the best graphics on the market, and its attention to detail is still impressive compared to a lot of modern games. Compare the Dreamcast games to something like Deus Ex 1 or even some early PS2 titles and it’s like night and day.

The ass in that trailer is all in those models. They look like they’re about 15 years old. That’s fine if that’s what they’re going for, but clearly the graphics that aren’t the characters are worlds better. Honestly, this almost smacks of, “Oh shit we don’t have anything to show,” and they took the assets they had…

the only thing modern about it is the graphics engine. but the animations look robotic and dated.

Every single expression? Nah.
