Nice to see Nintendo trying to help out...but a patch would have been more practical than sending an SD card and waiting a week.

xino5707d ago

And I guess you didn't read the article...right?

Invader_Quirk5707d ago

No, xino, he's right. If you go to the page Nintendo set up for this, that's exactly what they want you to do. Instead of releasing a patch, you have to send in your save file on an SD card.

xino5707d ago

The site's articles gave a walkthrough on how to avoid the whole bug and why it happens:/

no one is talking about SD here.

In the olden days, when a bug actually did happen... you were SOL!

Guess Nintendo still lives in the olden days! Ironic since they are the most innovative company this generation when it comes to re-inventing the console.

TheDeadMetalhead5707d ago (Edited 5707d ago )

In the olden days, games were actually tested before release BECAUSE they couldn't be patched.

gamingdroid5707d ago (Edited 5707d ago )

Bug still happened back in the day. It's just the software logic was simpler, although the technology much more rudimentary and harder to debug.

The sort of bug you see here is a logic error. Nothing is really changed, except games are now much bigger with much larger teams working on it. It's a fact that you can't get bug free software ever including the stuff that NASA does.

''Proceed through the door that was just unlocked at the end of the room before doing any backtracking to any previous rooms.''

go through 'the door' at the end of 'the room' before backtracking to previous 'rooms'

umm? what doors? what rooms? talk about vague! almost pointless even talking when they arent giving any good descriptions of the doors in question.

if i encountered this glitch i would have sent the game back for a refund!

gladly, i didnt encounter this glitch.

if nintendo made this game, this glitch wouldnt of happened, its team ninjas fault.

tunaks15707d ago

Yes its all Team Ninjas fault,
get the stakes ready! Team Ninja is the devil.

Mahr5706d ago

"if nintendo made this game, this glitch wouldnt of happened, its team ninjas fault."

Er, whose fault was the Twilight Princess cannon room glitch?

LeonSKennedy4Life5707d ago

Here's a solution:

Play Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Active Reload5707d ago

Nintendo bug? Wow, I've never seen one from them...interesting.

LeonSKennedy4Life5707d ago (Edited 5707d ago )

It's not from them. It's from Team Ninja.

Trust me. Once Nintendo starts getting into more complicated game design...you'll see bugs.

There were bugs all over N64 games. The stuff Miyamoto is involved in...is usually top quality though. He is about as OCD as it gets for polishing a game. Gabe Newell being the exception.

I'd love to see Nintendo embrace that also.

Half-life 2 STILL receives updates sometimes. They have been polishing it since it came out years and years ago. If you'd have played it at launch, you'd see the difference. It's just...insane!

darkequitus5707d ago

I think the ability to patch like the other main consoles is in order. You simply cannot rely on beta testers fin every problem. Here is a good example.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds1214d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted1214d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman691214d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees31214d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese1214d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits1213d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff21831214d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee1459d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

H91459d ago

I mean it was a killer

Terry_B1459d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM1678d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
