I still cannot decide if I am part of the audience who would like Metroid Dread. So everyone please share thoughts and impression if you can!

Physical copies here are €60 too. Some shops here used to be €50 for switch releases, but since Brexit they're €60 now. I guess they don't think they have to compete with UK prices anymore.Why the hell is Metroid Dread €50 if you buy a whole physical thing, but €60 when you just want to download it? This makes no sense.
Hey I had a Switch Oled too ! It was ordered and all !Someone over on FontGeek said their friend had made a switch game so i took a look and whoah, it looks like a cross between Monkey Target and Pilot Wings. I might pick it up myself later on.

Got to get motivated to make my OLED Switch my primary machine and transfer data over to it first though.
Video of those 10 games that use the trackball/knob and were not in the above video.Video with all 40 games bundled shown for like 10 seconds each, I guess it only doesn't include the 10 that come on an SD card with the trackball/knob thing...
I have no intention to turn this thread into a sales thread, but the Media Create numbers for Oct 04-Oct 10 have dropped. And as it has seen the release of Switch Oled and Metroid Dread, I think it's a week of particular interest.

My totally uneducated take is that Metroid seems a little low at 86.798 units, I would have hoped for 100k+
On the other hand 138.409 units for the Switch Oled doesn't look too shabby, it's 100 euros more than the base model after all.
Metroid isn't a big seller in Japan so my guess is that unless word of mouth is particularly strong, it will disappear from the chart in less than a month.My totally uneducated take is that Metroid seems a little low at 86.798 units, I would have hoped for 100k+
I feel hilarity.So, how are we feeling about the pricing on the NSO Expansion Pak? It's €40 / £35 / $50 for yearly individual memberships (which includes the base NSO package), so that's basically doubling the price.

I don't have a subscription right now, so I'd have to pay up the full price even though I couldn't care less about NES, SNES and Genesis games... Maybe CDKeys will have some sort of cheaper offer down the line, like for the base subscription.
Pretty much how I predicted. They doubled it (even more lol) and they will double it again with GB, GBA and GC titles in the future.So, how are we feeling about the pricing on the NSO Expansion Pak?

I was totally down with paying $30 a year, but $50 a year is a scam. I'll just load some ROMs on my Steam Deck and call it a day.So, how are we feeling about the pricing on the NSO Expansion Pak?

I'm super conflicted between "wow, super tacky, who'd want this" and "I need that Leonardo one, and I need it now!" Super weird.
For anyone who's looking for more Metroid after Dread, this is indeed the best choice. For anyone who never tried Prime before, seriously look into it afterwards. They hold up super well considering their age, and look amazing running through the Dolphin emulator.Must now get the Metroid Prime trilogy.
They do look cool in a weird way haha. I just wish they did not have the game logos listed on it.I'm super conflicted between "wow, super tacky, who'd want this" and "I need that Leonardo one, and I need it now!" Super weird.
Prime games came first to GC though just so you knowStarted Metroid Dread this morning. Only put between 30-60 minutes in. Enjoying it so far.
Not sure what to think of the EMMI encounters. So far they have been more frustrating than tense. That will probably change as I learn the skills to evade them.
Looks nice and pretty. Samus is a lot faster than the last time I played as her. In fact, the last time I played a Metroid game all the way through was Super Metroid, never owned a N64 during it's heyday so never played the prime series. When I eventually did, they where far too expensive on the second hand market. And there was no way I was touching Other M.
Anyway, enough old man ramblings, Metroid Dread has been a decent game so far.
Damn, completely got my timings wrong. Rest still stands thoughPrime games came first to GC though just so you know
I've been using the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ since it launched and never had that problem.I'm considering getting that 8bitdo Pro 2 wired controller instead of a Series controller for my controller gaming needs on PC. Thing is, I haven't use a controller with symmetrical sticks in forever, so I'm not sure if I'll find it comfortable. Do you folks with PlayStation consoles ever experience your thumbs hitting each other when holding right on the left stick while holding left on the right stick? Seems like that could be a thing.
The only problem I've had with my 8Bitdo SN30 is that for some reason Forza Horizon 4 doesn't like it and controls go crazy / unusable.I'm considering getting that 8bitdo Pro 2 wired controller instead of a Series controller for my controller gaming needs on PC.

Beep beep boop beep boop boopI still don't like the EMMI encounters,
The NSO pricing is a bunch of shit and I will not subscribe.
Other than that, Metroid Dread is fantastic.
Yes and yes. All joycon sticks are doomed to fail at one point. The problem with the Lite is that you’d have to send the console to Nintendo so they can repair it.so a family member is looking for a Switch Lite, is drift still a thing? it's a big problem on the Lite?
Unfortunately, the same for me. I stopped playing the game after dying two times on the first real EMMI encounter ... Too much dread and too little metroidvania power fantasy? I am sure that I will return to the game, but uncertain if stealth gameplay and chase sequences are a perfect match with 2d metroidvania platformersSo far EMMI encounters are the least favorite part of the game for me.
