Buy it because there's comedy things going on with it. Theres the "who gets the upgrades picks" at the end - whoever gets highest score gets first pick.

It'll be as dumb as zelda and as fun if we play as a team. Hell, playing with other people even made Dead Island tolerable.

Oh aye. Ill sp as well anyway

At least it can be played without the max number of players involved.  You're gradually hauling me back in.

Dude - don't buy it if you don't want it, don't want you to be miserable!

Classic Moot. Fucked it for everyone.

I'll be regular I'd reckon. Monday night multiplayer works well on 3DS for me.

Monday should be good to go, it has been Mohan for the last couple of months / maybe for a year already, but 2 is not enough to grind G rank.

Just a shame the only 2 3ds games I want on release date get released just before my wedding (Mohan) and holiday (Metroid) so I'm out for September 12th. Hate waiting to jump into a game late, but people tell me I need to get priorities right.
All other Mondays should be good.

Metroid NX

I didn't want to piss on chips but after reading the Polygon review and watching some of their gameplay I thought this looked god awful.

Polygon conceded that it would be fun with friends but only because most things can be made to be so. Therefore they didn't factor that into the score and instead judged the game on its merits, which I think is fair enough.

They've not had a clue what to do with Metroid for years.

This game is Metroid in name, has some of the visual cues but totally ignores what makes Metroid great.

True but the same could be said for Mario Kart, Links Crossbow Challenge etc.

This does have a spin off vibe to it, unlike Other M which was a risk that the majority of fans rejected.

Thing is its no wonder Nintendo are so reluctant to fuck with the Zelda, Pokemon and Mario formulas, like you said the experimental approaches to second tier games often ends badly.

People moaning about the Zelda blueprint and z-targetting don't know how lucky they are.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, Nintendo should just make a Metroid like Super and a Star Fox like 64.

Leave the new ideas to new IPs, it worked wonders with Splatoon.

If Federation Force was its own thing it might not be getting so much hate.

Metroid Prime HD for NX would be a start.

Fuck it, Metroid Prime 4 for Wii U should have been a no brainer.

I know exactly what they should do with Metroid.
Approach the guys that did that Metroid 2 remake.

Offer to release it on Nintendo hardware, pay them to make some exclusive levels and a very small percentage of sales.
Sell it as a download and as a big box with amiibo and a guidebook like big box Super Metroid had.

If sales go well get the team on another 2D Metroid.

An online F-Zero or failing that a remake of literally any of them to save on time designing courses. See if there's any life left in these franchises.

F-Zero X HD Online. Problem solved.

I'm playing through Super Metroid on my Vita, for the first time!

So the new emulation gubbins works well, then? I've been pondering a PS TV for this very reason.

Would definitely be choice of remakes too.

Chances are they would've fucked that up anyway. 3 was already showing signs of not really getting it.
