Neat

This game was really nice even at launch

It’s the best looking, the best sounding, and the best feeling kart racer ever

But it feels obvious that it’s not going to reach GOAT status until next year

The two games I thought of the most while playing Metroid Prime 4 were the original Metroid Prime and Ocarina of Time. Here's my review. www.giantbomb.com/reviews/metr...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the best video game of 2025. It's a beautiful maze to unravel and the most creative shooter campaign since Titanfall 2. I adored it.

My review, the first original perfect score I've given in years, now live on PCMag www.pcmag.com/reviews/metr...
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch 2 Is an Instant Classic—and My Top Game of the Year
Gorgeous, highly entertaining, and a thrill to unravel, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch 2 is the best single-player shooter in years and a triumph for gaming's coolest heroine.

Really sad that they wasted a decade on kickstarter fulfillment

It was probably smart to get it out of the way of Silksong and Hades 2, but they need to get Mina out soon
NEW: Yacht Club Games needs a hit. In recent years the maker of Shovel Knight has had to lay off staff, pause a 3D project, and delay their next game indefinitely.

The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Creator of Hit Game Shovel Knight Is at a ‘Make or Break’ Moment
Yacht Club Games needs its next title, Mina the Hollower, to be a success.

People have been upset at Mario kart being $80

How about $50?

Interestingly, Bandai Namco Singapore was working on two exclusive Nintendo games: Ridge Racer and the original Metroid prime 4 (before it was rebooted)

I believe they were also involved in Star Wars 1313

(all canceled)
Nintendo acquired Bandai Namco’s Singapore studio - now Nintendo Studios Singapore

Did various support work on big games like Ace combat 7, Splatoon 3, and soul calibur 7

Sega are particularly bad at this

It’s wild they kept selling Atlus games with the intention of remaking it just a year and a half later

Got super burned with persona 5, most normal people are not replaying 100h+ games
Sega has admitted sales of its games may be lower-than-expected due to players awaiting "definitive editions" before buying. https://bit.ly/4imXUqA

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.
