Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium games on sale for $0.99 apiece. They also lowered the normal prices to $1.99 each, like the first collection.

Damn, I miss Sly Cooper. I wish they would make a new one or update the old ones.

Which companies are doing it better? There are a ton of remasters that have come out from all kinds of companies. Sony has the Sly Collection, Jak and Daxter Collection, The Last of US, etc. Capcom keeps remaking/remastering Resident Evil games and releasing 90 versions Street Fighter 2. EA just gave us Dead Space, but we've so had some Need for Speed remasters lately and Burnout Paradise. Nintendo with the Switch was maybe worse because so many early titles were Wii U ports. Some games are so good people want to keep buying them, so publishers would be dumb to leave the easy money on the table.
To the point that Nintendo ported over all the good Wii U titles to the Switch. I no longer have a Wii U for this exact reason. The only game I had, that isn't on the Switch, is Xenoblade Chronicles X. I predict the Wii U will be an expensive novelty to own at some point...soon. The systems have held their value well. The actual 'exclusive to the console' games have as well. Hold on to your Wii U's!

Dread was actually pretty awesome gameplay wise, my issue is you have to spend an hour going back thru the map and it turns out you have one pixel on a random wall to blast to progress thru the game. Makes it feel like a slog.
I think Ori is Metroidvania done perfectly. No parts that are so hidden as to actual game progress, etc.
Anyways i really hope we get the trilogy on switch, but it feels like we'll just get Prime and Prime 4..

Beside the HD Zelda remakes, XCX is the only game left that i care about from the Wii U as well...really hoping that XC3 did well enough for them to want to sink their money into it before monolithsoft does something else.

Maybe I'm just bad, but I had to do a lot of backtracking and searching in Ori. More the second one, but some in the first one too.

I recall no backtracking on Ori as the game tells you where to go...... I just did the main games, no exploring.

I don't know, I remember a lot of times when I did not know where to go and had to just wander around looking for new paths. Or, I knew the location on the map I needed to get to, but I didn't know where the path to it was actually located.

Nintendo is doing a Metroid Prime giveaway for platinum coins. Can enter 3 times for 10 plat coins each. You can win a metroid themed hooded jacket or a nice looking metal sign.

I loved MP1. It was just so well crafted from the level design to sense of exploration and didn’t overstay its welcome too much. I think it was one of those rare nowadays 15-20 hour middle of the road length games. I did not finish MP2. I wasn’t feeling the dark/light world at the time. But the last time I played it was when I was like 17 so maybe I’ll enjoy it more if remastered now. MP3 I watched a friend play and it looked really cool. The new smoother traversal via grappling hook was neat. I’d love to play that one as well now if ported to Switch.

Is Metroid Prime good? Skipped out on it since.... GameCube.
Honestly I'd skip it if I were you. They did a great job of making a first person metroid(vania), but it's more classic metroid focused on exploration in a 3d environment. Plus scanning everything is rewarding for lore, but tedious. Lastly I always thought the ending sequence was a letdown. All that said, I'm excited to revisit it, but I'll wait for physical.

I saw that, but honestly I'd rather not win the acrylic "figures". Look like shrinky dinks. I'd enter for the pin set, and if there was anything else worth getting I'd have gotten them with Plat coins. Shipping kills it for me.

I guess in comparison to the previous controllers it's different (nevermind the N64 alien hands controller - idk what to make of that one. I don't know if any of us really do)
