    Sligeach is going to so torn, determined to be negative then faced with the game he is waiting for....

    Oh no its a "port" :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Seems to be a re-imagining of Return of Samus on the GameBoy..


    They've just said that on the treehouse, so confirmed!

    Grip mechanic, and free aim will definitely help!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,394 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    Jesus Nintendo! Maybe include that golden nugget in the main conference!?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    QTE for melee counters... not so sure about that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    I'd love if this was on the Switch too. I've never played the Metroid Prime games, but I did all the 2D ones on the NES, SNES, GB, and GBA (that DS one, the less said....) so I'd actually prefer that on the Switch. We can hope for a port :)

    Not exactly a QTE tbf


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,394 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    Did they mention a release date for this?

    I'd posted that when they had the instruction on screen for ages, and I've seen it in action a few times now, so you're right, doesn't look too bad!

    Metroid Prime 4 is being made by a new team but still being headed by Tanabe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    2 new Metroid Amiibo

    'Squishy' Metroid and 'Metroid II' Samus.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    There is some multiplayer in Mario Odyssey according to reports from a roundtable with developers yesterday, but only just coming out now.

    Nintendo E3 Flawless Victory.

    No more announcement expected at this point so?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord

    Wouldn't say so, they said the first hour of the Treehouse would have new announcements.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,610 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    That squishy Metroid Amiibo is probably​ the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
    I want one.
    Probably going to be popular and R@@Re though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,225 ✭✭✭Chardee MacDennis


    Disappointed about lack of online, OS or VC updates


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio

    I think that's something that will come out in a different form soon/eventually. Not sure a snappy Direct would be the best place for it, definitely understand the eagerness to hear of it though. It does sound like plans for the VC were/are a bit delayed than originally planned perhaps.

    I'm a little saddened by no Dark Souls news.
    But I have them all on various devices so I can't be too sad.
    Also, still a lack of third party support.
    The WiiU had stellar Nintendo support but not much from third parties, the Switch seems to have even less.
    EA had several big franchises in year one for WiiU, now they only have one for the Switch.
    Activision brought CoD to the WiiU twice, nothing this time.
    Ubi brought a whole host of titles also, just the Mario/Rabbids mash up this time, it seems.
    And this might, just might, be a problem....

    That's 9 new amiibo announced at least today. 4 Champions; BOTW, 3 Super Mario Odyssey and 2 Metroid. You know there'll be more before E3 is over. Who even sells these besides Nintendo UK store and Amazon? And because they make so few they'll be on Ebay for at least €50 each.
