Tell me some games in your backlog. Here’s a small handful of mine:

1. Cyberpunk 2077
2. Hollow Knight
3. Donkey Kong Bananza
4. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

I think I’ll start Hollow Knight tonight 🔥

I think most criticisms of Metroid Prime 4 (level design, NPC interactions, the ending) are valid. At the same time, I still find it to be a blast.

It might not be a great Metroid title, but it’s a damn fun game.

Continuing to work on 100%ing it on hard mode today.

@NintendoCoLtd Out of all the things to wake up to this morning, this is perhaps the best thing. Other than a shadow drop of Metroid Prime 2 + 3 Remastered on Switch 😅

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@agentundertaker Absolutely

@nintendolife Frame rate stability > higher frame rate. When I play this game, not for one second will I be wishing it was at 60 fps.

As long as the 30 fps is consistent I’m good to go.

@thebrownhat1 @YachtClubGames So excited!

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@schweinebrot @YachtClubGames Planning on doing both ;)

@carotteid @YachtClubGames Love it! The galaxy is such a beautiful system 💜

@MetroidFREAK21 Nice! I might double-dip too at one point. I’m just starting up a GC collection actually, currently have four games: Metroid Prime, Prime 2, Melee and Wave Race: Blue Storm

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@MetroidFREAK21 Oh no I definitely do. Just saying it’s nice it’s coming out on Switch now so we don’t have to buy an old copy for a more expensive price

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@MetroidFREAK21 It’s great timing too, my girlfriend and I were starting our search for a GCN copy just weeks before the announcement of the Switch version. Now we won’t have to shell out $100+ for a complete physical copy!

@mattschneidman What years of losing over and over to the Packers will do to you. You can take Thielen out of Minnesota but you can’t take the Minnesota out of Thielen.

@agentundertaker A travesty

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@NintendoStoreUK @NintendoUK My favorite Metroid game is Dread (for now)! The movement, graphics and bosses are some of the best in the whole series. I will say, Prime 1 is right there at number two — and I have yet to play Prime 2 or 3, so we’ll see if the top of the list changes ;)

@agentundertaker 👋

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@agentundertaker Which boss was toughest for you in Dread Mode? I spent A LOT of time against the robot chozo soldier in Ghavoran.

@GessertErin doing amazing coverage of the AFSCME Local 1110 rally and march.

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@SammyLev Right, why would players want to play so their team could potentially draft their replacement? Might as well make it a coin flip between the two teams’ GMs for the first pick. At least the players don’t risk injury for their replacement that way.

[JP @jack_podlesnik]

@mfojr Still doesn’t feel real.
