This game is going to be a system seller, that's why they're capping the year off with it to coast into next year with a stellar release.

Yeah, it'll be Switch 1's final system seller.
Shame about Switch 2. You'd think Nintendo would've invested in a system seller for it around the holidays.

>>721182559
Games that entered development after about 2005 are no longer designed for anything, since at that point bioaccumulative fluorocarbon concentration in Boomers and Gen X reached supercritical levels and catalytically unfolded most of their grey matter.
So you can play games on any platform, knowing that the experience will always be roughly equivalent.

It will be overshadowed by Kirby and Pokemon. Pokemon is also on the Switch 1. The three trailers killed the hype for the game.

This is my own opinion. I thought the first trailer felt dated, the second trailer was just Hyper Mode but with Psychic powers, and the third trailer was this >>721188294. What hype I could have had for this game, eroded.

You can literally see it in the trailer, they could have used the Switch 1's power to make the biggest most interconnected world in the Prime series but they instead shrunk the Metroid Prime sections down and shoved a big ass empty desert in the center and gave you a bike.

Okay you giganigger, strap the fuck down. I know you're not going to appreciate the effort since you didn't come in here to argue in good faith, I'm doing it for myself.
Dread was a great game, and absolutely a right step for the series, Mercury Steam really picked up the slack after the admittedly lukewarm 2 remake that got mogged by AM2R.
The suit - by which I assume you mean the default suit - looked sleek and very fitting for the vibe of the whole game. Definitely wasn't uglier than the default Fusion suit either. Metroid suit was incredibly cool too.
The plot was solid too, used the events established in the previous games nicely, shed some light on things no one really expected, the Adam twist was well done.
>idnige game tier mechanics
First of all, what the fuck does that even mean? Second, it only builds on the core Metroid mechanics, I don't know how you can sincerely call the mechanics bad (which is what I assume you meant by indie game tier, which, also lol).
>graphics
At the end of the day it's a Switch game. For what it is, it looked great on the OLED screen. The art direction was on point.

Why do they keep doing this? They already ruined Zelda. Why hasn't something replaced 3D Metroid like Souls replaced Zelda? Seems like a huge void. Souls is only missing 2 things, tool based exploration and puzzles. Any game that wants to dethrone them will need to include these.

It didn't damage the hype. Good old Metroid Prime is still there. People were mostly curious how the bike was used. The open world could just be like an interactive elevator.

It won't be a system seller and the amount of people who pretend to be Metroid fans is orders of magnitude larger than the real fans (who number a couple of million). Nobody shows up to actually buy these games, they just bitch about them online despite playing Silksong (or maybe pretending to play Silksong). This game will be great, probably the best 3D Metroid, seems likely. It will sell... 5 million units which will be still far and away a major success for METROID but not a major success in general.

But it really doesn't. Neither the Halo wannabe base assault scene of the previous trailer nor the huge fucking barren desert of this one instill much confidence.

Mother fucker, you can tell. Stop giving the game toxic positivity. I'm getting tired of this toxic negativity on Nintendo and toxic positivity on Prime 4 thing that's been going on. You must not call out negatives of other companies just Nintendo and you must ignore Nintendo's positives. You must not have any negative criticism of Prime 4 you must only be positive. That's not how it works, and you know it.

Not the guy you responded to but dread absolutely isn't going the right direction. 2D metroid should be closer to its roots, not step further away by continuing to devalue meaningful exploration. Dread's major new mechanic was fucking stealth segments, the worst thing introduced in the series.

That said I do think Dread is still a good game overall but no where near the top with games like super and prime

Prime 1 Remaster looked about the same and had the benefit of being a remaster. 4 took a lot more time and budget, in addition to coming out way later in Switch's life. Plus, we've been seeing Switch2 footage in the trailers, chances are on Switch1 it's going to look like ass

No it wasn't, it was in fusion, zero mission, and dread with it becoming more prominent with each game. SR also had chase sequences with the diggernaut.

Prime R doesn't look about the same as dread, it's noticeably better to the point people were speculating it was running on stronger hardware than the base switch during its reveal.

>chances are on Switch1 it's going to look like ass
We already have footage of it running on switch 1 (reveal trailer and parts of the spring direct) and it again gigamogs dread

>You have no idea what you're talking about.
