Of course, I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment.

Sheesh you weren't kidding about it being stretched out.

Looks like June 15th is the date to watch for me.

Don't worry, I'm over here waiting for Metroid news






Never finished the last route on maddening mode in Fire Emblem. That should hold me over until the Legend of Mana remaster coming out on the 24thm

Sheesh, I don't envy you, if you're a big Metroid fan.

I've been keeping one eye out for MP4 as it might be something I'd pick up...but it's nothing but crickets on that front.

It's a similar feeling on BoTW 2, but that's "probably" more imminent. Who knows with Nintendo. Seems they've been even more tight lipped than usual since the pandemic started.

Big metroid fan....although not enough to dig the Wii out of the basement to play through the Prime Trilogy so..... That's my biggest hope for e3, a Prime Trilogy remaster to dangle a carrot for the fans. If not, at least there is the timeless classic that is Super Metroid.

I'd be shocked if BotW 2 isn't the "one last title" segment in their presentation. I am also hoping for Switch Pro news, but they have said it's exclusively software for Nintendo this year.

Yeah I'm surprised they havent thrown any bones to Metroid fans. I was expecting something after they announced the delay...but no dice. A port or maybe a new 2D style game in the style of maybe Megaman 11 would've been nice.

Kinda bummed to hear that last part. My OG Switch is getting ragged out. It's been running hot lately...probably from 3.5 years of dust. Plus the DLSS running Switch games at upwards of 4k and 60 fps sounds NICE.

I love that Sega still produces high quality games. I was always more into Nintendo, but I think everyone my age owned a Genesis at some point. I even had the giant Sega CD attachment. Really wish I would've held on to it.

What kind of game is it?

Hard to describe. It's a rouge-like, but there is progression. It's like DmC, Diablo and God of War had a indie Rouge like love child. It was less than 20 on the Nintendo eshop, so there has to be great deals on other consoles.

Finished Syndicate. In the end due to the grind I enjoyed Syndicate more than Unity even though Unity destroys it in both gameplay style and storyline.

Into Origins now (I only got past the introduction in Siwa originally) and I'm rather enjoying the story. Gameplay is meh I prefer the simpler styles of the older games. It's nice to actually be able to sneak around again which was kind of oddly gone from an Assassins game in Unity/Syndicate.

Origins is completely open for the most part on how you do it...   Take out the whole base by stealth you can run in a fight them all is also possible but harder lol..

Loved to newer gameplay style especially how the controls are set up   Much more of an RPG in the newer titles than just the action adventure games of the original formula.
