"Competent, confident, and intelligent, Samus Aran is an ex-Galactic Federation soldier turned intergalactic bounty hunter and the star of the Metroid series. This week’s pick is definitely a no-brainer. Granted, when Metroid was released in 1986, it was not apparent that Samus Aran was female until the end of the game. However, once we became privy to this fact we were never the same." -BootHammer
Metroid Prime is a detective game at heart, and the Scan Visor is Samus' trusty magnifying glass.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.
I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.
Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".
It's been two decades since Metroid Prime first launched and it still holds up fantastically well.
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I bought this for my GameCube! My best friend and I ordered pizza for delivery, it was snowing outside and we stayed in all weekend playing it. Still one of my all time favorite games and I really hope the Switch ports being rumored is true. Fantastic game, one for the ages🙂
Samus is so boss, one of my fav characters to use in Smash Bros. as well
Samus is awesome, but Nintendo needs to get off their ass and make a new metroid.
One of my all time favorite franchises. Where is the Wii U version!!! Metroid fans have been neglected far too long.
