Metroid Fusion is still one of the best Metroidvanias ever, and here’s why
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
At the time of writing, we still have a few weeks to go until the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s also been a pretty quiet year for Nintendo in terms of first-party releases so far, with only Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. That means it’s a perfect time to delve into some of the company’s older games, and I recently played and 100 percent completed Metroid Fusion for the first time. In recent years, the Metroid series has seen something of a resurgence – between Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, you can definitely tell that Nintendo is pushing to bring this franchise back into the spotlight.
My first Metroid game was actually Metroid Dread, and even though I originally wasn’t a big fan of Metroidvanias, I loved it – you’re left completely to your own devices to figure out the right path, and the story really ramps up in the latter half of the game. This is completely obvious to those who have beaten Metroid Fusion before, but I didn’t realize how similar the game was to Metroid Dread. Not just in terms of the genre – the story shares many similar elements. So many, in fact, that Metroid Dread is essentially a direct sequel!

The most overlooked major Nintendo Switch games
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over some of the most overlooked major games on Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo recently commented on the Switch 2’s high price, confirming that the company will continue to support the current console for those who aren’t ready to make the move just yet. With that said, it seems like Nintendo Switch has at least another year of support left – with games like Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream coming in 2026. So even though it isn’t quite the end of its life cycle, we figured it’s a good time to go over some of the most overlooked Nintendo releases. With this list, we’re targeting high-quality games that aren’t discussed as often as they should be.
Dragon Quest creator “contemplating” Chrono Trigger remake [update: another mistranslation]
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
May 2: A remake of Chrono Trigger is apparently in the works. That information comes from Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii, who allegedly shared the information at Comicon in Naples, Italy.
We do have confirmation that Horii was present for the event and was on hand delivering some sort of talk, based on various attendee reports. Regarding Chrono Trigger, he apparently let that information slip during an interview. After the host whispered something in his ear, Horii covered his mouth – indicating that he said something he wasn’t supposed to.
