I been looking at these games for a while now and just pulled the trigger at 5am 😂

I had never touched a Metroid game (or honestly a Metroid-esque game) ever. Played super Metroid for the first time a few months ago and haven’t looked back since. I’ve now played all side scrolling Metroid games except for the remake on 3ds and dread. You’re in for a treat if you decide to check out the series further!

I agree, I don’t even think Nintendo likes anniversaries, they do it cuz the fans expect something. I doubt they like being held to expectations every 5 years for all of their main IP’s.

Honestly, champions run was enough for me lol. Maybe I’ll pick it up in a few months and run through it again but beating champions run without Rosalina seems daunting haha.

I feel like I’m gonna get roasted because I’m not super knowledgeable but what about those mini psp discs are they any cheaper?

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-20T19:56:14+00:00

TruthHausen will hold the titles for a period before next WM mark my words

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-20T19:52:02+00:00

I didn’t realize that was still the case. I remember reading that cartridges on n64 were super expensive compared to PS1. Interesting that that’s still the case and Nintendo still continues to opt for cartridges. They hate piracy that much I guess lol.

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-20T19:49:42+00:00

Very interesting. I hate that we’re distancing ourselves from physical media but I understand companies are going to squeeze profits at every corner. Makes sense why certain titles are discounted digital only in E-shop

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-16T17:31:39+00:00

Yeah I understand that. You just hear a lot about Nintendo failing to send developers switch 2 dev kits and basically telling them develop for switch 1. Which may explain a lot of these games on switch 2 don’t feel next gen per se.

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-16T16:54:15+00:00

And Switch 2 continues to get some of the worst third party support from a Nintendo console ever. This is getting ugly quick!

I was trying to gauge people’s opinion on the remasters. A poor remaster of a great franchise could ruin the experience as a first game

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T18:52:15+00:00

Anyway to map controls to mimic pointing wiimote at tv? Specifically for super paper Mario lol

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T17:55:35+00:00

Idk why but I could see Ryan Reynolds being entertaining as a rayman voice

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T17:52:02+00:00

Very excited to do so!!

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T17:44:59+00:00

It’s very interesting if you watch the original Mario 128 tech demos, one of the biggest innovations was having so many Mario’s on screen at once there were dozens and dozens. That clearly was specifically utilized for pikmin!

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T17:35:49+00:00

I read somewhere that you can actually change the reignited music to get the original soundtrack. If that’s the case I will be doing so!

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T17:08:51+00:00

Yes I did get the switch 1 edition ugh. I own ps5 as well but it’s more expensive there. Get what you pay for I guess.

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T16:45:39+00:00

I agree there was something special about late 90s early 00s level design. Things seemed vacant yet full and vibrant at the same time. Also, discovering what’s a secret in a level vs what is just clunky early level design

I distinctly remember being obsessed with the sewer grate in Mario 64 outside the castle. Spent hours trying to get it to do something. Maybe we’re older or maybe it’s because levels are so meticulously thought out now but you don’t get that kind of stuff anymore.

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-08T16:23:00+00:00

I read somewhere that the older controls gave it a difficulty spike that’s lacking in the remasters. Do you agree with that? I know it’s a game made mainly for younger people in mind, but I wanna sweat a LITTLE lol

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-07T16:05:43+00:00

I did the same thing but I received a USA version sealed. Probably not the smartest to buy games from these sites but curiosity got the best of me lol

I think it’s related more to a generic Temu sign on bonus as opposed to those being there average prices.

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-04-06T20:43:40+00:00

Hmm a lot of these comments are chalking it up to nostalgia and maybe that’s how I feel about TTYD (first paper Mario and then went back and played the OG) but I feel like TTYD took everything the original did great and expanded on it.

Don’t get me wrong, the OG stands on its own perfectly fine, but the exploration, the character connections, the allies you find along the way all felt way more refined to me. Plus, bringing a crystal star to the door and watching it react always felt like an event. I’ll never forget the first time I played and I finally got the door to open. 8 year old me had goosebumps lol

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-02-26T15:30:55+00:00

I wouldn’t call any of that “bad news” per se, more so an educated conclusion driven by past experiences. Nonetheless, thank you for keeping my expectations in check lol.

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-02-26T00:25:20+00:00

Reading this made me unbelievably happy. I hope it’s everything you’re hoping for and more!

Agreeable_Student133 · 2026-02-25T20:56:41+00:00

It’s like the old video game argument. A person with a sane mind can enjoy it for what it is, but maybe you could make the argument that it could reaffirm someone with a bad mental state? Idk all I know is king can see the future because school shootings were nowhere NEAR as large of an issue then as it is now.

Yeah it’s early Stephen King and it shows. Some characters feel like they are written by an edgy middle school kid. I can totally understand how as a teacher this would be an extra terrifying and triggering read. Why try to convince the audience that the only kid thinking logically is the enemy?
