NGL that's frickin cool

Right?
When Sakamoto acknowledged sequence breakers and said the game was built to accommodate them, I didn't expect actual unique cinematics to be part of that. They really DID build this game with the hardcore old-school Metroid players in mind.

I'm confident enough to believe my opinion in games without reviews, but there's no denying that critic reviews for games/movies/etc are more important now than they've ever been when it comes to influencing sales success and social media chatter. Dread being tied for the highest-rated new game of 2021 is a huge W for the brand

I might have to add this to the list of "things to buy". Never played it before.

It's a masterpiece -- truly a one-of-a-kind experience. If you can get it on a device other than the Switch, I'd encourage you to buy it elsewhere, but if Switch is your only option, it's still 100% worth playing. Probably the best-written game I've ever played, and I never even beat it due to work picking up steam

Why would you recommend not Switch? Performance issues?
 
It's a shame Rise won't support cross saves. I will probably skip the PC version, then, at least for the time being (i.e. after playing Sunbreak on Switch, probably).

Anything I/we could help with?

I don’t know how to use spoiler tags here but I am at an area and trying to reach a boss according to the guide and it feels like I’m playing somewhere different than what I’ve seen on the guide and on a video. I’m just confused and lost here, and dying to the same EMMI over and over again isn’t helping
 
Oh dang.. So this game is gonna just up and turn into Fusion just like that, huh? Okay, cool.

I'm guessing the joke is you don't have one? :p
 
Not sure where to ask this, but do we know if the Diamond/Pearl remakes will have surprise trade? I've not played the originals but loved the feature in Sword and Shield.
 
My copy of Metroid Dread just came I the mail... Am I one of the cool kids now?

I have to carve through a bit more of my backlog first though—first Link's Awakening (currently stuck in the Face Shrine), and then I want to get the Master Cycle and Guardian unlocked in Age of Calamity (bought the DLC yesterday) before I start playing Dread!
 
I told y’all that Metroid Dread’s incredibly ugly graphics will only allow it to achieve a Meta Critic score of Three Houses range.

Should’ve been on Switch Ultra and would’ve gotten a 100 MC

Reading the reviews, performance seems to be functional and certainly playable but just not close to being at the level of the other consoles. It doesn't sound like straight-up poor performance -- just technical hiccups and some chug/super low res at times.

Hmm… that’s not a lot to go on, sorry! Roughly how far are you? Or you could try asking in the Metroid Thread, folks are helpful and less worried about spoilers in there

I just keep finding new areas in Dread, I thought I was close to the end like 5 hours ago. All of those shinespark puzzles are slowing me down.

On the matter of N64 Rare games on NSO, I think it's wise to not expect Perfect Dark (nor Conker lol) mostly because of the rating.. The NSO app has a rating of itself, and if you check on the NES and SNES apps, they go just to T for Teen max, and I don't think Nintendo wants a package that includes Mario, Kirby and Pokémon games to be rated M.

Otherwise, everything that goes to T-Rating on N64 should be a non-issue
Click to expand...
I agree Conker is a hardsell because even if it were re-rated, the language would firmly keep it in M-rated territory. But for instance say Perfect Dark were re-rated, doesn't it seem likely it could move down to a T if based on how society's tolerance for games has improved in 20 odd years? I never beat the game myself, but coming from the devs who brought us GoldenEye and also had copious amounts of murder sprees, I never did see much difference between game content (unless there's some hidden sex scene I've completely missed/forgotten about).

And even outside of all this, if the parental guide is activated, Nintendo could probably do something to prevent minors from accessing the Adults Only game list for games rated M (or make them separate downloads so that they couldn't even be streamed accidentally). The problem from what I understand is that there's really no precedent for M rated games on the NES or SNES service. Mobygames lists the only three SNES games that received M ratings: Doom, Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate. Doom is already released separately on Switch, and Mortal Kombat I feel would be better suited to the Sega Genesis console anyways where it's uncensored and more importantly has a wireless controller that has the six button layout in Japan. I know it's still a longshot for M-rated N64 games to appear on the service (if only because in checking the ESRB list, it seems Doom 64, Quake and Turok have been successful as individual releases), but I wouldn't rule it out completely (licensed games though, haha gl;hf seeing GoldenEye as either original or the unearthed remaster with Xbox crossplay).

That's a weird decision

Boo, surefire way to guarantee I won't be double dipping. Shame especially with no crossplay; I could probably get some friends hooked on it too but if I can't play with them online then it's just whatever.
 
They really started a tweet with these five words smh my head. I'm in Spain, the S is silent. And on mobile (where I first saw the tweet), it only previewed "The Legend of Zelda Collection..."

Perfect Dark on X360 and XB1 BC still kept its M rating, years after the original release and without any real changes in content. Perfect Dark had way more blood effects than Goldeneye (including blood spurts when someone is shot), and there's a quite a bit of swearing and other language (e.g. "you bitch!" and "I'm dying!") among the goons you mow down. It will absolutely keep an M rating if it was rereleased on NSO.

There it is then lol, I forgot the language was stronger in PD than GoldenEye

Maybe that's the caveat to keep up the age gate, the M rated games will be separate purchases in the future while everything T and under is through NSO

I would still double dip but the timing is just bad all around , january is gonna be elden ring and legends for me , and when sunbreak releases i am playing on switch. By the time maybe i am willing to bite on mhr+sunbreak on pc I expect mh6 to be announced and coming in 2023 or so, and that’s the one I’m more likely to get for pc (since i’m certainly not likely to find folks to play it on xbox lol ) .
