Metroid Ravenous

Tales of Eternia Remastered for the Switch 2 is getting a GameKey physical.

Metroid Dread sales have surged following the announcement of Metroid Ravenous.

Reddit moderator James Archbox-Williams, who was selling a massive library of pirated Nintendo Switch games, has failed to show up to the court hearing, so Nintendo pushed for a default judgement, requesting an eye-watering £4.5 million in damages, which has been granted by the courts.

Whether he ever actually pays it or not is a whole other matter.

But actually, maybe ask me in about, you know, seven years if I agree with that statement.

Maybe not.

Metroid Dreadsales going up with Metroid Ravenous.

It's funny that I was actually thinking of picking up another version or picking up Metroid Dread and giving it a proper go again.

And Jeff, Mario Party is more important than whenever the fuck Xbox is doing grub.

What are your expectations for Metroid Ravenous? Is there anything specific you want to do different than Dread? Aside from maybe better music.

I know you guys talked about the Ravenous mechanic before, but I'm wondering if there is something specific you guys want from new 2D Metroid so Mike doesn't complain about how he's not like he is with Castlevania, which I kind of agree with.

You're not alone, Mike.

So on that note, we are going to talk a little more about the backstory when Boson showed up versus the rest of us.

But as a reminder, we do want to talk Metroid Ravenous.

It was just something I really wanted to get into.

We had Metroid Dread's, I think, fifth anniversary kind of at the same time.

I never feel like I'm out of control, but it definitely takes a little bit of time to get my attack and get to the payoff, but not so much that it does not feel like Castlevania or it doesn't feel like it has flow to me.

really has yeah

yeah it's probably it's more the visual style i guess for me that it it it doesn't feel like a departure necessarily but it's it's interesting because we'll talk about it later but i am like in love with the direction that metroid ravenous is going which is taking on some like anime kind of you know just anime vibes and i was like yes this is what it needs you know versus like with this what i wanted to frame the visual style was like did you ever play like bloodstained and there's like the last faith and like those are darker style And I think that's, for me, I could be wrong, but are some fans like just, do they wish that it was a little more like darker? And is that even appropriate to say that? Because I haven't made it that far in the game.

You know, I'm like, I'm just, I beat the first boss.

million.

know in size you've got um metroid ravenous is gonna be like 20 25 in there you know the zelda the uh tears of the kingdom is 20 breath of the wild is 25 like for that size to not have to eat up all the memory on my on my switch yeah and Hate to say this,

but if I get a switch to...

But to your point with that statement, didn't we previously talk about how Nintendo's moving away from games being on the cartridge? It's still only a license anyways?

But I still have not played Ocarina of Time, and I don't know if it's worth me getting a Switch 2.

Oh, it's not.

That and Metroid Ravenous.

And honestly, I love my Switch 2.

Yeah.

Um, January we have Metroid Ravenous.

Mm-hmm.

All right, that's, that month is covered.

So I, I thought that was just so cool.

Yeah, um, super, super awesome, and you're right, we're gonna be talking a lot of Castlevania for the month of October, um, prob- a- and maybe, maybe even into November here, uh, depending on what we get from Metroid Ravenous.

But of course Belmont's Curse is coming out.

This game looks awesome.

Um, so lots of, lots of cool stuff going on with our, with our pals playing, uh, video games for the first time.

Uh, I am, I am playing Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave still, Doom, and, and I'm gonna reiterate, if you're, if you're gonna play one Fire Emblem, it should probably be this one 'cause it's, like, really wacky and really futuristic and very un-Fire Emblem-like in, in a lot of ways.

Um, but I, I'm really enjoying it, but, but I am gonna have to put it down, I think, for Castlevania and then of course Zelda, and I'll, and I'll try and pick it back up before Metroid Ravenous.

Too many games to play, the curse of our times, I suppose.

Metroid Dread.

If I don't focus on Metroid Dread, I'll never be ready for Metroid Ravenous, and in my brain, there's, like, an excuse for me to buy those Amiibo if I beat it.

So...

Gears of War: E-Day.
