So instead of transforming the series (like most IPS from nintendo in switch era) they have just remade an old game.

Starfox is one of those games that has so much potential but this ain't it.

Ohwell. At least we have Pokopia and the new platoon game coming

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

My first proper Build attempt in #Pokopia.

Its replacing the bridge in the first area. The pokemom can walk across the miranda

The bottom two are shops and top two are houses 🏘

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Just got super annoyed at pokopia with the item you get after beating the game.

All the building I've been doing would have been so easy.

Builders. Complete the game. Trust me.

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Definitely didn't spend all day digging out a mountain cause I didn't like the tunnel.

Definitely didn't regret it half way through.

Looks good now though

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

The machop and his trainer actually built his building from the original red and blue games.

Love that easter egg in the game..

#pokopia

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Built my first house on pokopia.

Yeah its ugly but it's mine and I did it from scratch. Very proud of myself.

What a great game

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

First thing I did in pokopia was remove that damm hill in front of the pokemon centre i keep seeing in everyone's videos.

Its fugly and needed to go

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

The spoilers for pokopia are crazy.

Calm down people. Let us play it.

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Why is it 2026 and on X tweets are not auto translated.

Its so annoying having to click the tweet and then click translate.

Surely technology has evolved where it can auto translate and a little tag on the tweet to say it was translated.

Remember when @MrBeast took the top 10 to Riyadh and made a huge deal about it and then took all 10 contestants in a room that could have been anywhere on the planet for the next episode?

Cost him a bunch of money to move them and did nothing for the viewer.
Good episode tho

[Jack @Jackkk]

MrBeast flew all the remaining Beast Games contestants out to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the final two episodes

They picked up the contestants from the airport in 10 Lamborghinis and shut down Riyadh Times Square to film

“The $5,000,000 winner is going to be detetermined here”

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

That last episode of Beast games was 🔥

Really good season this year.

I already have my favourite and can't wait to see who wins

@MrBeast

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

First ever direct where I can honestly say I wouldn't buy a single thing.

There was some good games shown but I've already got them on other platforms.

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

@garylangley @CostaCoffee Wife used to work there. For a white Americano you get what ever milk is left over in the jug. So if someone has ordered a latte you will get given the left over milk once there glass is full. Always stipulate what milk you want due to this

Avatar fire and ash was the first film I walked out of in 2025.

Its the same as the last two. Absolutely beautiful with a lackluster story.

I walked out at the 2 hour mark

The mistake of the last two films was focusing on the kids which I have no emotional attachment too.

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

@xboxuk @SpongeBobMovie @ArtyRachel66 we need this for our gaming dates

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

@nomorerobotshq Accidentally found this game on the eshop and spent 3 hours straight playing. Loving it so far 😍

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Just found a cozy factory game called Little Rocket Lab on the Nintendo Eshop and im 100% shocked that this game isn't getting any traction.

I played for 3 hours straight. Its on of the best starts of a cozy game I've played.

There's a whole town and friendships and even a dog

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Just finished my 100% playthough of Metroid Prime 4 on hard mode.

Had a blast of a time. What a great game. Really enjoyed it.

(Apart from having to collect every single green crystal)

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

Just beat the game and agree with everything this person has said.

I enjoyed my time but would never replay the game

[Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly @kiwitalkz]

Okay I finished Metroid Prime 4, heres my review!!

For most of the game it’s the best Prime game next to Prime 1 and even eclipses Prime 1 in spots but then the third act hits and it’s so terrible that it’s put me off ever replaying it (unless they patch it to make it more tolerable) so it’s definitely the worst Prime game and I understand now why critics scored it so low. It’s a game of massive highs and massive lows.

PROS
- Music is the 2nd best in the whole series next to Prime 1

- Best art direction in a Nintendo game ever

- Psychic abilities are great and the puzzles are the best in the series

- The NPCs are actually great for the most part, there are a couple of parts where there is some cringe dialog but I enjoyed them, Takabi and Duke being the highlights for me, Armstrong starts off way more annoying than Myles but was endearing by the end, way better characters than the characters in Prime 3.

- Bosses are great, one boss in particular is one of the best bosses in the entire series, the final boss and ending is the best in the Prime series, they never hit the highs of Prime 2 though (Quadraxis is still the GOAT)

- Viola is great for the most part and it was necessary in this game to prevent it from being too samey, the certification sequence is tonal whiplash though

- The backstory for the Lamorn is so so good,

CONS
- The game doesnt really hit its groove until Volt Forge and peaks at Ice Belt and then never hits that high again.

- The combat in the Prime games is showing its age now and needs a complete makeover. There are straight shooter segments a couple of times in this game and it becomes apparent. It does have the best combat in the series though

-Sol Valley (the desert) is the BIG weakspot, its relatively empty with not much too do and becomes boring, the lack of a soundtrack makes it worse though (im not buying an amiibo just to have music in the game.)

- The story for this game is all over the place and a lot of questions go unanswered (it makes me think, Prime 5 will be a thing.)

- No Screw Attack in the game, seriously wtf!

- The fetch quest at the end, by far the WORST PART OF THE GAME, if you thought Prime 2's was bad this is 10x worse and there isnt 1 but 2 of them!!! It is so bad, that it was at this moment that it dropped from my 2nd favourite Prime to being the worst Prime, cause I was so bored and turned off by it, that I have no desire to replay the game because of this segment.

Overrall I think this game is Metroids Skyward Sword moment. I hope to review the game with some of the OG Prime devs in the new year to get their thoughts.

[JoeySplats @JoeySplats]

6 hours into metroid prime 4. Really enjoying it and would advise anyone to get it.

However. Its the worst metroid game and should not be called a metroidvania
