Finally got around to playing this today. I've just used the second elevator and now have a flashing red light on my 3DS. I'm really enjoying the game. It's fairly linear so far but Metroid II was fairly linear to begin with. The detail in everything is amazing. Plus all the musical cues are spot on! The most annoying thing has been that the R button doesn't point your gun downwards. That's purely an issue because of how much I've played Super Metroid. I'm also not a fan of how the ice beam doesn't destroy a basic enemy on a second hit. I really like the melee counter ability, it makes Samus seem even more badass. Not so keen on Aeion abilities, the scan pulse feels a bit out of place at the minute. Maybe they'll grow on me. The enemies are nice 3D versions of the ones seen in Metroid II & Fusion. The stereoscopic 3D is really well used in this game. Gives a good depth to the areas and makes the shattering ice have more effect. I've experienced no noticeable frame dips so far, which is very impressive with how much detail there seems to be. Saying all that... I wouldn't have complained had this been 1080p on my TV without 3D either...

Received my Legacy Edition from the Nintendo Store today. Unfortunately I haven't had chance to play it but I have spun the audio CD. I love the music of Metroid so much. I'm not usually one for liking covers of video game music but I highly rate this: Metroid Metal.

I've also pre-ordered the Odyssey amiibos

Also available on Spotify: Edit: Wow I like how that autoembedded!

Sometimes I find doing a full reboot of the Switch fixes any issues I'm having with the wifi on it.

I'm liking the new thanks button. Also I don't seem to have that weird can't click in the new post area bug anymore. Fingers crossed that's gone completely.

Is it actual pointer controls? I think the only other game to make use of this at the minute is World of Goo. Remember we have no sensor bar any more so it makes centering difficult.

The game isn't terrible but it is different to the prior games. I enjoyed playing it over the last Christmas holiday. What I did hate was the DLC which takes place after the game. I'm still yet to finish it because it has a timer which I've found makes it almost impossible to complete. On that note, if anybody does have any tips on how I can complete that, please let me know! The DLC is pretty important to the story.

I bought Farpoint yesterday and it's actually better than I expected it to be. I mean, the environments are a bit sparse and some of the animations are just naff, but it's not a terrible game by a long stretch. Did it get patched up a lot after release? More interestingly it comes with a very nice PS Camera visualisation when you first boot it up. If you've been following my rambling in this thread you'll probably have seen me moaning about how my PSVR drifts really bad. Well this visualisation has helped me diagnose why. It seems to be tracking only the bottom half of my head when I stand up and only the top half when I sit down. I think I need to have the camera much higher up with a bigger angle down, rather than directly above the TV facing forward. I did the best I could with the space I have at the minute and it seemed to help, over the weekend I'm going to look about moving in about 50cm higher. The visualisation should be included on PSVR setup, rather than the optical camera based setup that we get.

In America it's not getting an actual price drop, is it? It's just going to be coming with the camera and two move controllers. Arguably what it should have been sold as in the first place.

Thought I'd quote Jimbob's post in here. I've already got RIGS, but the more people who get to play it the better! Just be careful as playing it for too long made me really really nauseous.

Just completed World 1. This game is excellent. If you have a Switch, and don't hate turn bas d games, this is the game to get. The attention to detail throughout is top notch. And all the little animations are well thought through. Well done Ubisoft.

A day late but I've finally got it! Very weird to see a game with Mario in it and no Nintendo logos on the box. Beyond the Nintendo Switch branding and Nintendo Seal of Quality.

Like Cube has said above, the games that are being neutered because of Miiverse shutting down could have quite easily been patched so that other features could continue.

It's been a while since I played it, so correct me if I'm wrong, but Company of Heroes isn't a traditional RTS. The resource gathering is limited, there's no base building and it's very small scale in terms of its unit numbers. The original Dawn of War was closer and then if you go even further back you have Homeworld. Edit: I suppose I should mention what sort of games I'm referring to when I say traditional RTS. Games like Age of Empires, Command & Conquer and Settlers. Basically anything from the 90s! 😀

I'm not sure how well this will go. Age of Empire is a traditional RTS, Relic aren't really traditional RTS makers anymore.

The page has updated today. It is £49.99. My worry was that it'd be like Zelda and have an extra tenner added to it.

Does anybody have any suggestions on an image host to use now that Photobucket have started to charge?

Any ideas how much this will cost on the eShop? Trying to decide if I should go digital with it or not. Currently our eShop doesn't have a price associated with it.

Very weird. They've spaced pretty much every release out perfectly at about one per month. I wonder if this is, maybe, a 3DS game that is getting a Switch port and had always been targeting October.

I've put a pre-order down on that New Nintendo 3DS XL. I really don't need yet another one but I love Metroid.

Had real issues with the connection when trying to play this today. When I finally got into a few fights they were all ketchup vs ketchup!

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I Am Setsuna is currently £20.09.

Thanks for taking a look. I have no idea what has happened to mine then.

If anybody has their New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition to hand, can you have a look to see if the sides of the faceplate/rearplate have cracked really bad? Just took mine out of it's storage place to look at it and it looks terrible. Those faceplates have never even been out of the house. I bought some cheap plates to make sure the originals were kept in nice condition so I'm a bit annoyed.
