I’ve always felt they should go a similar route to what Apple has done. Create 3 versions of the switch 2; a home console version only (similar to Apple TV); an switch xl (similar to iPhone pro max); and a switch lite (similar to iPhone pro). Give consumers the option to purchase what fits their needs best. I personally would love a switch lite version that could also be docked.

I chose to wait to beat BOTW until TOTK release. So I have 30 days to finally beat Ganon!

I have completely given up on trying to get one of these. They’re impossible to get. I have no idea why you would come out and promote a product that you can’t even keep in stock. It’s completely unfair to the consumer. What angers me is that I bought the deluxe online switch because of the ability to play N64 games with this controller. And here we are years later and still no controller.

In other news, Nintendo won't get my money for Switch Expansion Online until N64 controllers are back in stock.

Though it’s not ideal, I don’t see this as a big deal. It’s up to the company to do what it wants to do, unless there was some breach of contract. The people in this article who are upset are no longer with the company and since their work was done under company time, it is their intellectual property. We also don’t know everything behind the scenes here. How do we know that perhaps maybe some of the people in this article maybe left on bad terms? Anyone here who has ever worked for a company where someone quit or was let go, left for a reason and perhaps that’s why Mercury left them out of the credits too.

As a die hard Metroid fan living in the US who wasn’t even able to pre-order the deluxe edition or even the amiibo set because they all sold out, this is more just salt in the wound.

What is wrong with you people? Metroid pinball is an absolute joke of a game and should ABSOLUTELY be at the bottom of this list.

US websites just say “not available” or “coming soon” which usually means all the bots got to them before actual people.

North American version 100%. The Japan version is dark and lifeless.

@Realness 23 vehicles and 29 tracks

Looks sweet! I went ahead and preordered it.

I know it’s a long shot here, but I figure there are Metroid fans here… anyone still play or played Metroid prime federation force? Would love to play coop with someone 😅

Yup, I wanted to preorder these and yet again, all the scalpers grabbed the pre orders before us regular folk even had a chance.

@Snatcher they picked it because this one hasn’t been remade yet. They’ve already remade windwaker AND twilight princess.

@Brydontk @ukaskew @iMarkU @Giancarlothomaz Ah my mistake everyone! I did know that about European dates, it's just not often I see dates that look like ones here in the states and I wasn't thinking! I would have been really sad if we had to wait almost another full year for this game!

Why does the release date say 12/02/21?

Highest it goes is 720p. No 4K here.

For all the people complaining it’s only for sale for a limited time...there’s still PLENTY of copies at all the stores I’ve been to.

@Antraxx777 seems like most people here have bought multiple replacements and have had drift issues with all of them. I have not had the same experience. My second set and my pro controller work just fine. That is what I meant.

Guess I’m one of the lucky ones. Only had slight drift on one controller. Bought a new pair and have had no issues since. Also absolutely no issues with my Pro Controller.

So this won’t be one of seven games they’re bringing to switch this year?? Geesh how many versions of FIFA are there?

@GrailUK you can already hook up regular joy cons to switch lite.

@4RT_D3CO on Nintendo’s website it says February 12, 2021. Thought it was also weird that the video said December. I guess it was a typo?

Why does Nintendo keep doing this to us? These directs are literally a waste of time and a constant reminder that we have nothing forward to look to.

Maybe I don’t quite understand the article, but am I the only one who doesn’t think this is a big deal? And are there restrictions because they can’t create new characters, or because the higher ups don’t want them to? And if they don’t want them to; then why? Is it to protect their brand?

Let’s not forget the little Metroid Easter egg in galactic pinball where you get to control Samus’s ship. I logged in many hours on that game!

Played this on VR. It was such a blast and a challenge! So fun!

I’ll believe when I see it. I really hope they can start bringing star wars games over to switch.

No Deluxe Version or Pre order bonus with an included Mario themed origami book and folding paper?? Missed opportunity...

50/50 blend of vinegar and water mixture is what I use to clean all my electronics and it works perfect.

Now that it seems everyone is quarantined. I dug through my whole retro collection and dusted off the old Wii U and am replaying Zelda Windwaker HD. Forgot how much I love this Zelda universe!

@Razer @Nebnosneh @Gs69 @Daz1380 @Magician ; Just curious here... now that the game has been announced to be releasing with a physical cartridge after all, are you now planning to get the game?

Wario land and galactic pinball are incredible! Wish they would port those!

@Sac_instead where are the negative comments? I see nothing but support here.

@BarefootBowser perhaps it did cost quite a bit. But imagine if they lost? Imagine other companies seeing that, thinking they could also take a chance at winning against a large company like Nintendo. And imagine all the royalties they’d have to pay if they had lost this case? This was probably a small battle but in the larger scheme of things, it’s wins like this to keep the integrity of the company intact.

This will be the first direct I will not watch. I could care less about Pokémon. Plus we got so much Pokémon last year. This is frustrating.

This is probably not popular opinion but they should not port windwaker HD to switch. It’s the perfect port for the Wii U because it utilized the touch screen; something that originally was going to also happen with BOTW but they axed it for whatever reason. If the 20% who voted for it haven’t played it on Wii U then they’re missing out but since the switch has no additional screen I just wouldn’t see the switch version as something to rave about.

I’ll believe it when I see it at this point. I gave up hope for Metroid Prime Trilogy HD long ago, but if these rumors are true I would be very happy!

@STAGGLY I also don’t understand the hate. Just like any new game, there is a learning curve to the controls and once you get it; it’s actually quite fun. I’ve also earned lots of rewards without spending any real money. Plus I like the quick races it offers. Obviously this thing doesn’t compare to Mario kart 8 but as a stand alone mobile game it’s really not that bad.

@carlos82 I haven’t spent a dime and earned Diddy Kong for free.

Can’t get them in America either. 😞

@Zeldafan79 wow! Is it really that bad? Superman 64 was one of the worst games ever made imo.

Hoping for ANYTHING Metroid. Remake, classic re-release, HD, Reimagining... it doesn’t matter. I’ll take anything.

It also says “Odyssey.” 🤦🏼‍♂️ Come on people...

Bought the game anyways despite the bad review and it’s completely fine. Not clunky or glitchy; I actually think it runs pretty smooth. This one I loved on Wii U and honestly I feel like it performs better than when it was on the Wii U. Take the review with a grain of salt and judge for yourself.

Slow news day?

Metroid Prime Federation Force HD for Switch

There are so many other ports I’d rather have. This is at the bottom of my list. But I may still get it if and when it gets discounted since I already own this and all the DLC for Wii U.

“After LOOSING everything dear to you”... I hope they spell check before the final release 🤦‍♂️

All we need is a really good direct showing off Metroid, Animal Crossing, Whatever Retro Studios is working on, and maybe a few more surprises and the sales will go back up again.
