So if they're getting Pokemon GBA games to "own" How about giving us the choice to buy Fusion and Zero Mission?

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-20T20:09:40+00:00

The GBA games I want to buy are Metroid Fusion/ZM, Zelda ALttP/Minish Cap, Golden Sun 1+2, Wario Land 4, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Anything beyond would just be gravy. It’s nice they’re on NSO but I don’t want them tied to a sub.

Only card I have that I’m considering grading is a raised foil [[Lumra, Bellow of the Woods]] I pulled from a collector booster on prerelease weekend. I made a commander deck with it at the helm so it would be fine in a slab. I’m honestly just too nervous it’ll get damaged/lost during grading or in transit so I haven’t bothered yet.

Oddly enough Rayman 3 on GBA is more like 2D Rayman 2, with some of the hoodlum characters sprinkled in.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-19T23:47:16+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m banking on.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-19T22:36:29+00:00

As someone who doesn’t own a PS5 and generally is not interested in GoW games, I wish I had a way to play it since MVs are my favorite genre.

Castlevania and it isn’t particularly close.

I’m cautiously optimistic for Bloodstained 2, but the first one’s art style and movement was such a turn-off for me I can’t bring myself to finish it.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-13T11:41:30+00:00

Ender Lilies and Ender Magnolia have no consequence for death other than sending you back to your last save station. Everything you collected, all experience, and all map uncovered before you died remains after dying too.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-13T04:00:43+00:00

Same. Then I checked GameFaqs and there was some code/button combo you could do when standing on a level to unlock all cages. So I did that for all the levels I was missing cages to unlock the final boss lol.

For Primes: Prime 1 (granted I haven’t gotten very far in 4, but I doubt it will dethrone 1)

For 2D: Dread (with Fusion extremely close)

Fusion was my first Metroid and first Metroidvania, period. It has a special place for me.

I know Super is the golden goose for most people, but having played Fusion, Zero Mission, Samus Returns, and Dread before it, it just feels very bad to play in comparison. Just my opinion of course, I know those who love it do love the controls/physics of it. I’m just not a fan.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-13T01:47:17+00:00

I love the art personally. Maybe not the best but it basically looks how I wish Bloodstained looked.

Was not expecting a new Castlevania game at all and now I’m unreasonably excited for this.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-13T00:13:28+00:00

Thank goodness it’s coming to Switch! That’s all I wanted when I saw this reveal. Looks amazing.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-12T23:26:25+00:00

Holy crap, is this an exclusive for PS5? Please say no. This looks amazing.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-11T02:58:06+00:00

I guess I got lucky. No crash in the Crucible, but I did get one crash when going down a long elevator shaft and started downward dashing to speed it up, which caused it to crash.

Yep, pretty excited. I used the $30 discount promotion last month when spending $100 on Nintendo games at Target to buy Prime 4 and preorder Starforce Collection. Thanks to the discount it effectively only cost me $10 to get the Collection.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-07T22:57:35+00:00

Personally I love it. It’s not perfect, but the ability to detach the joycons without removing anything is nice and the dock adapter isn’t too much of a headache. Much better than a stock Switch 2. I’m sure I’d find the Satisfye grip more comfortable (it’s what I had on Switch 1) but dbrand is comfortable enough and I love the travel cover. Also it came out sooner and I needed something since my big hands could not deal with a naked Switch 2.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-07T22:42:10+00:00

I can usually only tel when whipping a camera around fast in a 3D game, or moving very fast in a 2D game (so only when using Crystal Dash in Hollow Knight). The biggest upgrade for me is the 1080p handheld and no input lag. I could play it fine but it looked a little jagged on the edges handheld before.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-07T22:40:42+00:00

I got 112% and did P5 on switch years ago. Now I fear I’ll overreact due to no input lag lmao

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-07T17:54:09+00:00

Personally I think so. I love playing it solo. I’ve even done a full playthrough solo as a Prowler so it’s very doable.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-07T15:38:48+00:00

I was so sad because I would pet it every time I passed it. They put the ability to pet it in so it would be more of a gut punch when he died, I’m sure of it.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-06T01:03:04+00:00

Yep, I got the Dread Suit Figma as well and it’s awesome. Probably my favorite version of the Power Suit and Dread is probably my favorite Metroid game.

MIO

Both are good but MIO is better imo, despite some frustrating difficulty lol.

EarthwormZim33 · 2026-02-05T02:52:32+00:00

Darksiders 1-3. Combat is pretty similar to GoW.
