The first one is probably my favorite Switch game, and so far I’m loving the second, also. Through two chapters with three characters and one chapter with two. Started with Osvald, but Throné is my favorite so far.
I started with Throne, but Hikari is probably my favorite character to use. Not surprising since I usually pick the warrior class in games with job options. Regardless, I haven't removed Throne from my party even though I've finished her last chapter and can swap her out now.

I haven't played Metroid Prime since I beat it after launch on GC. At the time it was one of my favorite games. Never replayed it due to so many other great games, then Echoes came out and I absolutely hated it... so much so I picked up Prime 3 way after launch and put almost no time into it.
Playing MPRemastered, I'm reliving that first play through all over again. They did such a great job of turning a 2-d franchise who's main focus was exploration into of all things a "first person shooter". This is where I felt Dread fell flat, they took out the exploration that all good Metroidvanias have. With MPR there is a solid foundation for MP4, and the quality of life improvements help remove some previous concerns. I hope Retro has been stewing on great ideas since 3, and 4 is the new Metroid I've been looking for since Prime.

I’ll too I only played Prime 1 at launch on GC and adored it. Glad to see the remaster holds up well. And I only played a little of Echoes also and remember really not digging it as well with the whole dark and light bubble concept and never played Prime 3 but always wanted to. I hope they remaster 2-3 together in a collection before MP4 comes out. That would be pretty cool.

I'd really like to see 3 with modern controls, I don't think anything could get me to finish 2. They can prove me wrong I guess.
Excited to see Fusion getting released. I remember being kind of let down by it largely from the zero suit stuff. Will be interesting to play it again after all these years. Can't wait for zero mission. I remember thinking that was my 3rd favorite Metroid at the time, and going off (faint) memory still is. Will be fun to see how it all shakes out.

I didn't play the original and I pushed off Super Metroid for years, and didn't try out Prime. Then I played Zero Mission for one of the game threads on here. Enjoyed it. Then played Dread. Then played Super Metroid a few months ago. I'd say Zero Mission got me into the games.

I'm loving Metroid Prime Remastered. I'm about 80-90% done. I.used to play out once a year, but I've been putting it off for a few years due to the HD release rumors. It feels so fresh because I forgot a lot...I've found myself doing a lot of exploration trying to get 100% of the items.
It's amazing to me how well the graphics hold up after all these years. It really is/was a special game. This has only reinforced it as one of my top 2-3 games of all-time.

Well it is remastered, but honestly I think the ground layer was well established. Going to 16:9 (with whatever res/fps it's running) and improving the controls was all it needed. Interested to see if the couple of complaints it gets get patched. I'd guess no. Great game, great remaster!

I'm just waiting for the physical reprint of metroid prime remastered. I could play all the games I have now and still not be done by the end of the year. So I can wait.

But 2 items with 12 karts and it's less of a test of skill and more of whether you happen to get lucky at the end of lap 3. I'm on board with some randomness but too much chaos and you may as well just do a coin flip to decide the winner.
I don't even think of it as a chaos, I just think newer MK games are more action-packed and fun. I've gone back and played some of the older MK games (MK64 in particular) and they're SO boring. Just long stretches of driving with nothing happening. No thanks. Even with so much more going on in the newer games, the better players are still going to win the majority of the time (but not every single time) and I think that makes it more exciting. One of the best feelings is when you have some bad luck, get knocked around a few times, and still manage to comeback and squeeze out the win. It's nowhere close to a coin flip. Go find some of the top players to play with and let me know how many times you win due to the randomness and chaos.

The gaming backlog just won't quit. And the occasional game just keeps getting added to it, despite my attempts not to add to it 😅
Though I have been pretty good about it last year. Only added a couple of games to the backlog (though one of them, Metroid Dread, I knew I'd be making an exception for. And it's not on the backlog anymore. I opened it and beat it. Was worth it too, imo)

Until the CPU realizes you're casually cruising along in first then boosts the AI's speed 10-fold until they pass you. (MK64) I always hated racing in that game, but I loved the battle. Still my favorite battle mode.
On that last sentence, one of the best times I had was 100%ing MKWii. Really felt like I accomplished something there, being able to get the beat all cups at all levels without losing. Took so many tries, but I got there. The blue shells...

Yeah I was thinking of multiplayer. The rubberbanding in single player was ridiculous.

Same here. Getting 3-stars on every cup was really challenging.

According to this article, Wii U systems can die just from sitting unused for a long enough period of time. I wonder how many of us have a dead Wii U now and don't even know it?

My daughter and I use it for Wii U fit and my family and I have been using it for Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival. We play that once a month to see what's different and to play with all of our AC amiibo. It also stores data on your amiibo, so I've been using Kicks.
What sucks is the gamepad battery doesn't hold as much power as it used to, but it lasts just long enough to get in a session of the Animal Crossing game.
