Is the sub 4 hour ending or reward much different? I’m not sure if I’d ever be able to get that kind of time.

Right, I know @Glen-i video will be up with substantially more content but he can’t get the custom stage ones added, so I took the opportunity to use my capture device to get that @RedShell stage shown. But first here’s a little vid from last weeks games. And now for the highlight. With a little extra at the start. I did win one after all, am I’m taking that win, thanks RedShell. -

Thanks to everyone for showing up. That’s possibly the first ever 8 player room we’ve had. @RedShell you may have outdone yourself with the everyone’s here stage. No one expected that. I should be able to record the first one. I didn’t win a game but had so much fun. Thanks all. See you Thursday for anyone playing. -

7 NE smashers. I’ve missed these day. Take This! Thunder! Back Off. -
It is done. There’s clearly rooms in the game that you can totally miss just playing normally, are are just there to hide energy tanks and missile upgrades. Spoiler tagging some of the shinespark puzzles I’ve done just in case. Great game and addition to the series. I’ve never 100% a Metroid game before so this is an even greater achievement for me. I don’t know if I’ll get the sub 4 hour ending time for whatever that gets you, but I can see playing this again (I want to try to do the early bombs and grapple beam for the secret Kraid kill)

Been doing some more tonight, up to 91% with just Burenia (88%) and Artaria (72%) to do. Noticed that the ones I need to do are possibly hiding entire rooms, I found that out in Dairon by the elevator to Artaria, a whole section I didn’t know was there. So it’s off to check the last two areas, I can get this 100% and that will be some achievement for me in a Metroid game.

So an hour and a half and I don’t know how many retries I just beat the final boss. Great game, thoroughly enjoyed it, even when the bosses gave me grief.
-
So as many Metroid players know the game is a great one for expert players to sequence break, getting items early and getting to section early. Well it seems this game is no different and people are already doing that. However the best part Is that the developers put something in the game for those that are finding this. Gonna put it in spoiler tags just in case.

So I’ve made it to Raven Beak and he kicked my butt so I’ve gone back through the areas collecting as much as I can, going to the places I haven’t been and basically “painting” the whole map (as in covering every inch of it). I’ve found some of the boost puzzles to be challenging, but I’ve managed to pull them off. Samus with all her abilities somehow seems over powered compared to the start of the game, the screw attack pretty much makes her invincible but this is great for exploring every inch of the planet. I’ll be covering more of the maps before I head back up to have another go at Raven Beak again. Hopefully he doesn’t put up too much of a challenge.

It will be able to be used on the main game if you’ve bought the DLC. I’m guessing you may have meant standalone. I personally loved the updates. Some nice new features, a few good little updates and two major changes in the visitor island and DLC. Cooking added just means I need to find a place to plant the veg. The first person camera mode looks cool, permanent ladders, new characters, new emotes, some new items. Shame they said it was the last major update but I’m going to assume this was planned over a longer timeframe but didn’t happen cause of the pandemic. So it’s all come now. Oh and also still playing every day here Also a little confused over the DLC and NSO sub bit. Hope they clear that up a bit. -

Oooh pick me! I’ll take Timeless River (that’s the black and white old timey one right). And yay, @Ugh first aid will be here to school us in the ways of Rosalina. -
Think I’m getting closer to the end, or at least two thirds though.
-
I thought that at one point too, but it seems the game does have a somewhat linear route through the game.
-
Villager just chasing a butterfly is nice too.
-
Right some more play in and more impressions.
-
Love the details. Wario and King Dedede reactions and Dr Mario and Game and Watch down in the corner there.
-
Mine are slightly bent too but nothing to complain about. Been playing a few hours and I’m getting both frustrated and loving the game. I am; enjoying what I have played so far as it’s satisfying which you defeat an E.M.M.I
-
I love that the game is in a bigger box than the Switch OLED Model. It really is a nice special edition. Just had a flick through the art book. 191 pages and lots to look at. It looks very impressive.
-
Yay. It’s surprisingly heavy.
-
Me too woohoo
-
How else are you supposed to read it? Lol

I’ve had a pretty much 100% black out of this game and can’t wait to play it. I’m not a huge Metroid fan, never got into the older games, but the Prime games on GC really pulled me in and were great to play. I even ordered the deluxe set thing from the Nintendo store. I expect them to be shipping them real soon as I’ve still not seen confirmation that mine has been sent but it was like this for the last game I ordered there. It was sent Thursday evening and arrived the next day.

The first thing that really comes to mind is the whole aspect of the Switch being both a home console and handheld and that switching from one to the other is simultaneous. I mean I’m playing on the TV, I take it out the dock and I’m instantly playing again. No delay or anything. This also makes it great when there’s a power cut as it just switches to handheld mode and no loss to the game I’m playing. As for games, Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey are up there for me. I was never into open world games and liked my games to have some kind of linear progression. But BotW really did change that. You can do the game in any kind of order and however you want, and even now, people are finding new things, new ways to kill enemies, and funny exploits. It’s amazing how many different ways I’ve seen people complete a shrine or certain parts of the game. Mario Odyssey was just the perfect Mario game for me at least. Visually stunning, controls were tight and perfect, and cappy was a nice new addition. Plus you get to go to the moon. (Yes Galaxy was in space too) I guess that’s why I love it so much, as Galaxy was my favourite Mario game before this. Oh amd you get to turn into a freaking T-Rex. I’ve also found that I’ve bought more indie games on the Switch than on any other console. Favourites include Oxenfree, Limbo, A Short Flight to name a few.

Another fun night of Smash with @Glen-i and @Dcubed who joined in for the last 30 minutes or so. (Why is it so convoluted just to get the dang link for the video to paste here)
