Me too, mostly because I feel I didn't really get into it the first time around and I wish I did because I hear great things about it, but I think at the time I was a bit annoyed / disappointed by the constant need to shield yourself from the "dark", it felt like I couldn't really explore in the...

I finished the game today with 17 hours and 40 minutes spent, I tried to get 100% items and 100% scans but I ended up at 98% items and missed 1 scan in the final battle (make sure you scan the final boss in the third phase). If you're going to attempt 100%, make sure to copy your save onto...

I had been driving over green crystals on my way through the desert area between worlds and it only got me about half of the crystal vessel, but once I unlocked the mega bombs it lets you destroy the big boulders and those really drive the numbers up, I wouldn't waste much time on the small...

The central desert area has a bunch of points of interest other than the green crystals though. There's at least 3 underground "shrines" to boost your elemental beams, at least 2 other places to boost your bike's boosts, several buildings that you need various abilities to explore to find...

Since you need the five teleporter keys to access it, I assume the Chrono Tower will be the sixth area, maybe the last one. I finished the third area (not counting the bike area). I recall the engineer telling me I can go to whatever area I wanted after I got the bike but in the end I felt like...

Homelander looks like he's punching someone that can take several hits from him so that limits the candidates, and it looks to be someone he cared about or admired based on his expression, so I'm gonna guess Soldier Boy. By the way, in the original comic (which this deviates from in major...

During desert exploration after I got the bike, I think he contacted me twice in about 10 minutes on the radio to remind me I can go to any zone now and to check my map if I need to find other places to explore. Then once I found the fire chip and went back into the overworld, he contacted me to...

Some of the final dungeons are pretty challenging as far as puzzles go, sometimes. I wish Nintendo would port / remaster A Link Between Worlds (the sequel to A Link to the Past) on Switch/Switch 2, it was a really great game but it was only on 3DS.

For those still on the fence due to the ever-present yapping NPCs in Metroid Prime 4.. here's some more thoughts as I keep playing the game : I'm now on the third "zone" of the game, and I've only had a NPC with me in about 3-4 rooms of the first zone, and he didn't talk for more than 5...

I got it on Switch some time ago, it's Contra, just with 2.5D graphis. There's some unlockable characters for some replayability since they get their own special attacks. It's probably not worth 20 bucks but it's not BAD.

Having mostly paperbacks (though all the same edition at least) of all of those books except the last three that I got in hardcover, I find those books shown above pretty damn nice-looking but $150 per book (at the very least, I expect prices will go up over time due to "materials") is a big...

Metroid Prime 4 definitely has Metroids, you encounter them like five minutes into the game. I've played another hour or so. The first "tag-along NPC" comes with you for about 4 or 5 rooms until he has to stay in place to repair some stuff while you go explore on your own (including a boss...

Shang Tsung finally lost Mortal Kombat :(

I played it today for about an hour. It feels exactly like a Metroid Prime game, with eerie music, silent protagonist, space pirates and weird fauna and flora. The first area after the prologue level reminds me a lot of Pandora. Game looks absolutely gorgeous on Quality setting for graphics (as...

I'll receive my copy tomorrow and hopefully I can play it some over the weekend. I'm not worried about the negative reviews, I don't really have expectations, I just want to play some new Metroid. If it ends up pretty mediocre, then hopefully that tells Nintendo they should instead focus on the...
