Metroid Dread was dogshit. There is an entire thread you can read expressing exactly why by many people.

The CPU is constantly reading/writing to/from the cartridge addresses. If someone knows the address of things like number of lives, or even something else tied to values like health then you can easily intercept and modify those values. That's essentially what the game genie was doing. Intercepting data, changing it, and making sure it passed valid data back.
I did look up a bit because I was curious how it did stuff for so many games. I guess the company really did disassemble source for games and use logic analyzers to figure this stuff out. Im sure a few developers helped them out, but it seems like a crazy engineering thing to pull off in the 80s/90s.

Hmm, so far I'm down for OOT remake, Xenoblade, Kirby, Romancing Saga 3. I'd get the Personas but they're probably going to be game keys and I'm not a fan of those.
Might grab Monster Hunter for some local multiplayer.

It would have been /passable/ without EMMI
The slide to action and rougelike is what is not wanted or needed
Look at this new metroid and the new castlevania - neither know why "Metroidvania" became a thing and why they were so popular… they want to be Dead Cells - and that is NOT metroidvania

I agree and disagree. I thought it was leaning into some sort of stupid souls like rather than roguelike. But I don’t play a lot of them. I don’t think you leveled up or got stronger in Dread. It was just a bad 2-D parry only souls like to me.

it's essentially how you legally "clone" a chip, youre not copying the chip, just putting power to each register and see what it does

Nabbed the Special Edition for Metroid Ravenous + the 2 other Amiibo's on pre-order, the game looks really good. My Samus shrine will be happy.
Didn't see any E.M.M.I.-like gimmicks in the trailer, but I'm kinda expecting this time there'll be some kind of hunger gimmick where you have to feed on creatures often.

I saw a side view shot that looked super similar to the E.M.M.I. fights. Looks like it was around 1:20 of the trailer. Either way I fucking loved Dread(minus the soundtrack which was oddly subpar for a Metroid game). Can't wait.

Even after having seen plenty of footage and talk about this game the beginning is still all fresh to me and isn't what I expected at all. I've only ever really played Awakening and loved that game. I tried to play 3 houses like 3 times and just couldn't get past the school shit.
I can't put this game down.
If you have a switch 2 this game is a no brainer.
