Metroid is 25 next week and what is Nintendo doing about it..Read on!
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Bet we wont be seeing much of a celebration, No matter how great Metroid is it hardly gets the recognition it deserves.
They better make a new 2D game.
Seeing that Metroid is the foundation for the awesome aspects of my favorite series (Castlevania), I am really hoping they do some sort of celebration. Sorry for any typos, I'm incredibly drunk.
metroid is one of the best game series ever made.. love ya samus, happy upcoming b-day :)*
edit: WOW I've only saw now, that Samus b-day IS ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!! WOW two celebrations at once! :) but I'll be 24..so Samus is 1 year older than me ;)
