This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Metroid series. ScreenCritics explores why the series is wrong to skip the Wii U and focus on the ill-advised Federation Force for 3DS.

Two 3DO games recently reissued by Limited Run Games, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and D, appear to have a major problem, according to customers.
D was a great, atmospheric horror game. It was worth the rental back in the day. Also, Limited Run Games sucks.
LRG are just glorified overpriced reproductions.... and now they can't even get that last part right. I make better repros using my own stack of CD-R.
Just don’t. 3DO games were the worst. Imagine paying premium prices for a dog-crap version of a game. The era of barely trying or understanding their own tech and charging asinine prices… 3DN0. It’s best that you don’t admit that you had one of these.
The 3DO was ahead of its time and one of the first to enter the 32 bit console space. Yes FMV games are awful, but at the time there was a real thirst for games to look like movies. Removing the FMV games the 3DO had Gex, a solid Myst port, and was often the best place to play non-SNK (best on NEO GEO) near arcade perfect arcade ports. Their downfall was poor marketing and a high price point for a time when consoles were considered to be kids toys.
It was certainly superior to the “64 bit” Jaguar, which was falsely advertised as stronger hardware and had one of the worst console controllers in history.
Limited Run Games makes me sick. The prices they ask are ridiculous and then the whole burning discs instead of pressing them is pretty disgusting. This is a company that takes their customers for a ride and demands extortion level prices for a product, like we’re talking 2x to 3x more than MSRP.

Wouldn't it be great if they had new Metroid, Monster Hunter, Zelda, Mario, and others available at launch for the NX?
It's sad the way nintendo handled this franchise the past few years. Nintendo protects the rights on this game so hard you can't even make a fan movie of it. But the company does absolutely nothing with this IP. very frustrating.
I really want another 2D Metroid, in particular. It's been so long.
As a long time fan of metroid, I've waited years for Nintendo to make new metroid games. and they don't seem to care as much anymore to keep the series at the forefront. So, you have to rely on the fan creators out there who are making great stuff. Like in open bor and mugen.
But gamers need to keep an eye on this remake being created of metroid 2 that I had on gameboy. Why Nintendo never updated this one is surprising. But check this out

And there is a demo too
It is not that important.
Federation Force is not ill advised.
