LOL
I play Metroid Prime Federation Force 3DS instead.
That's the only Metroid game i have some interest about.

Super Metroid > Fusion > Zero Mission > Prime > The rest (All good games)
I honestly believe Super Metroid is one if the best games ever made.

@KratosMD It’s maybe worth £3. The hate’s pretty justified, especially if you don’t have friends to play 3DS with. It’s just not a very good game. Samus Returns is also on 3DS and is a genuinely good game. Hunters on DS was even better than Federation Force and it was a launch title, or close to launch.

@KratosMD To be fair, Other M’s gameplay was mostly solid, the problem was the plot. Hunters is decent but I don’t see it being particularly comfortable to play on the Wii U, so a DS cart might be a better idea. I still think the best Metroid game outside the main series/Prime is Prime Pinball on DS, now that was a great game.

@Kidfried it’s a great console indeed, gunna play Xenoblade?!

@Kidfried Wow, I forgot Cuphead wasn’t available on PS4, it’s a great game. I don’t play the Switch as much as I should but I would recommend Animal Crossing, Smash, Mario Odyssey and Zelda as the staples.

@Kidfried Ori and the Blind Forest is a good shout too. Beautifully animated.

@Kidfried Welcome to the Switch club. I mainly have the Switch for the big first-party exclusives, so I'll recommend Smash and Splatoon 2.

@Kidfried Cuphead is one of my favorite games of the generation. I've played through it three times or so on two different platforms.

The DLC expansion is taking SO long to come out, though.

If you have any love for the tactics genre, pick up Mario + Rabbids when it goes on sale (which is quite frequently).

Also, obligatory mention that you can buy an adapter that plugs into your dock that allows you to use your DS4 on the Switch.

@Ralizah You can get a DualShock 4 adapter?? That might genuinely lead to me playing my Switch more, I use my Cube controller whenever I can but it doesn’t have a ZL so certain games are impossible.

@nessisonett Well, you can get an adapter that lets you use a whole mess of controllers with the Switch.

I use it to connect my DS4 and Wii U Pro to the Switch. It works about as well as you could hope!

It also works on PC, and is fairly durable. Mine accidentally got put in a washing machine and still works OK.

@Ralizah Woah, I might get one because it also is pretty cool looking. I use workarounds to get my DS4 working on PC but having it on Switch would be a godsend so that I can actually play Hollow Knight comfortably.

@nessisonett What games are you having to use workarounds for on PC? The DS4 connects via Bluetooth and Steam natively supports it.

@Ralizah Hardly any of my games on Steam actually recognise the DS4 which is really annoying. I also use Game Pass PC where Microsoft pretend that the Xbox controller is the only one that exists so it’s easier to just use DS4Windows whenever I plug it in.

@nessisonett Weird. Are you customizing the controls and launching in Big Picture Mode? Like I said, it's natively supported by Steam, so you should be able to use it in almost everything.

Game Pass doesn't surprise me, though. If I ever get around to "upgrading" to Windows 10, I'll probably snag an Xbone controller for those games. I have a 360 pad, but I really hate that controller.

Hmm a new Paper Mario is right round the corner. It looks absolutely gorgeous, but I wonder if it will reintegrate the RPG mechanics missing from the last few entries.

I started Octopath Traveller these days and I love it! Why I haven't played it till this time lol?

The only bad thing I find is that the characters don't interact much but I love the graphics, the setting, the characters and the music. Highly recommended if you are into old school jrpg games.

Wow, the new Paper Mario game is gorgeous-looking.

Environments look very large and exploratory, too.

Also kind of digging the creepy vibe at the beginning there with Origami Peach.

I'll still wait for reviews to make sure it's not a gimmicky mess like Sticker Star/Color Splash, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I have to say I was 10/10 excited to see that there'd be a new Paper Mario coming because I love me a Paper Mario but I am worried it's going to be one of the rubbsih Paper Marios and not one of the good Paper Marios.
