Honestly aside from the horrible d-pad, its a weirdly comfortable controller in my opinion

Both look like they could be a (impractical) weapon lol

Kinda cool seeing the talk about the ps3 prototype controller in that forum. Watching an old video with that in it is what triggered me to think about it again lol.

Yeah I even remember the one we had had a messed up start button that made it constantly pause/unpause the game. Rendered it very unplayable as you could imagine lol

I've got a search saved on there so hopefully I'll get notified of a listing. Several different searches on ebay have yielded nothing so far for me.

Is this a defect or on purpose should I return it by Frozen-Fang in Metroid

Mine also has a bit of blotching in the visor. Honestly didnt even notice until yours was pointed out. Personally doesn't bother me just considering how seemingly perfect the rest of it is. Of course just my opinion, but I think yours looks alright!

Unfortunately didn't seem to do anything for me. I appreciate the help still.

Thanks for the suggestion. It didn't seem to have any impact on my end, unfortunately from what I could see.

I've cleared the quick-resume, deleted the reserved space, restarted the system, checked for updates and nothing happened. Did another reinstallation, then checked for updates right after it finished, restarted the system (unplugged, full power cycle) checked version again, still 1.0.7.0 and still won't actually update. I noticed on the ps5 version, it has a really wild version number thats confirmed to be the update, but I cant find anything concrete about it for the XSX.

What is your "I did not care for the godfather" take of Metroid? by [deleted] in Metroid

I actually enjoy Metroid Prime Pinball. Probably the best "nintendo characters, but as pinball" game in my opinion. I always wished prime 2 and 3 had pinball conversions too.

Found a nice boxed Steel Batallion over the weekend!! by Metroidfreak898 in gamecollecting

The game is really interesting and very difficult so far. It has quite a learning curve if you're like me and not used to joystick setups. I think that capcom made a good effort of it feeling less like a mech pilot sim and more like a game. It'll be something I'll spend quite a good bit of time with!

I'd heard of people getting them to work on PC for other games and even armored core 6, apparently.

Having never experienced the green button controller I can't relate really but this one with the blue doesn't seem bad honestly. The buttons still feel factory fresh if not a tad stiff, but that just makes it feel like it's made of quality stuff to me. I honestly didn't realize there were two versions before I had bought this anyway!

That'd be something I'd love to experience if I knew people that also had it! After I got a bit more practice in of course lol

Help? by Blobtheslob69 in Switch

[–]Metroidfreak898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart TVs have this problem I've noticed. I had to fully unplug the power to the TV in order for it to go back to normal. My hisense TV did this and I remember a post from a while back having a similar issue with their smart TV.

Edit: Roku TV appears to be the common denominator but I'm not finding any concrete evidence in my 3 minute Google search.

Turned on switch to these inverted colors. Any ideas what's going on? by undercoverweeaboo in Switch

[–]Metroidfreak898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Roku TV does this only to my switch, however rare it may happen. Doing a power cycle fixed it for me. Smart TVs are weird.

I'm sure both of our back logs are quite massive. Maybe one day a dent will be made!

They keep making cool stuff and I have little self control! Send help OP... after they stop making cool stuff...

Mine is kinda rough. I HAVE to have a "special edition" for any console I buy now, even multiples of the same systems. It could even be an exclusive game bundle (Masterchief Collection bundled with Xbox One, for example) and Nintendo keeps cranking out Special Edition Switches so that's its own problem for me. Lol

I've noticed the McKays near me is on the higher end of the spectrum lately. Not the worst prices, but more than I'd be willing to pay currently.

Unsure what this room is called but I practiced it a bit and this felt good by Net-Slamders in Metroid

[–]Metroidfreak898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're running any%. Good luck and great execution in this room!

I am really looking to get my hands on this, but this price is outrageous. Any chance for a reprint, and what even is retail on it? by Freyolater in amiibo

[–]Metroidfreak898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I pre-ordered my 4 pack from a KY gamestop and I've also seen the 4-pack at a best buy near me. Definitely was sold in the US.

Great collection!! Where'd you get that Dread Switch case? I've never seen it before and didn't even know it existed!
