Didn’t Mercury Steam do a Metroid 2 remake for 3DS? Maybe they’re porting that to Switch to follow up on Dread’s success. I never owned a 3DS but I would love to play that.

It isn’t a given that a game company will always get to work on a new game right after they release one, much less two new games.

It’s making search engines useless, for one thing.

I don’t think they can recognize the flyswatter, but they do seem to find a sudden increase in movement around them suspicious. Move slowly and strike from close up.

This actually brings up a good point that I never thought of before–it seems likely that if aliens have a religion, that religion will become a source of instant fascination to humans and will likely shake up Earth’s religious landscape a lot more than the simple existence of alien life would (alien life simply existing would not have much of an impact by itself IMO).

One of the founders of Reddit mentioned in an interview a while back that it was all bots when it started, to give the illusion of being populated when it was too new to have any users except the people who worked on it. From bots it came, and to bots it will return. The circle of life.

I pretty much agree, maybe if they’d managed to somehow capture the weird feel of Mario RPG’s prerendered sprites in real time it would have impressed me more? Not sure, but it definitely looked more generic than the original game in terms of graphical style. Plus I’m just not that excited to play it again for some reason, even though I loved the original.

However, Super Mario Wonder looked so creative, the surrealism drew me in and it seems like the perfect direction to take 2D Mario in. It’s the one game in that Direct that I saw and was like “I need to play this”.
