Should Metroid Prime be remastered for the Nintendo Switch?

When we think about classic GameCube titles that deserves to be remade or remastered in some way Metroid Prime is definitely one of the few games that instantly comes to mind. Metroid Prime was arguably one of the most popular video games of the early 00’s; it was definitely one of the top titles for GameCube following its release in late 2002. The original Metroid Prime game was developed by Retro Studios the same company that worked on Metroid Prime 2 & 3. In fact, Retro Studios is currently working on Metroid Prime 4 which is far from being completed in terms of development. As far as sales are concerned Metroid Prime managed to crack over one million copies worldwide and is considered to be one of the most memorable installments within the entire series. As a 3D action-adventure shooter game a remastered version of Metroid Prime would look lovely on the Nintendo Switch. However, Nintendo apparently has no plans what’s to remaster the legendary Metroid Prime game whatsoever.

While many people would agree that Metroid Prime should have been remastered at least a decade ago its still something that hardcore fans of the series would definitely pay to see. In fact, all three Metroid Prime games from 2002-2007 deserves to be remastered especially for the Nintendo Switch since we have no high profile titles from that series available for the hybrid console right now. Despite, the GameCube being one of Nintendo’s lowest selling game systems ever there were a few gems that came from that console that deserved to be remastered and Metroid Prime is just one of them.

Is Google Stadia a threat to Steam?

There had been people who have various opinions on the Google Stadia since its launch back in November 19th. While the Google Stadia is popular for features that involves streaming games at 4K resolution there are people who have been skeptical about the service especially after the beta version was initially released a couple of months ago. Even though, it seems like streaming is becoming increasingly popular as it pertains to cloud gaming there are definitely those who still prefer to download video games through Steam. After all, Steam has been around since 2003 and has seeming become more mainstream during the 10’s decade in comparison to the 00’s. Players get to enjoy demos of indie games before their official release date and the joy of downloading games on their PC is much more convenient than going to a local retailer to buy CD’s or disks. As far as whether or not the Google Stadia is threat to Steam or not is definitely a topic that is open for debate; especially since many people have different preferences as it relates to gaming.

There are still a lot of people who enjoy physical home consoles such as the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One because they grew up in a time period where game systems were huge attraction before the rise of online gaming. But it seems like home consoles are slowly beginning to decline in popularity while gaming corporations such as Microsoft & Nintendo are also interested in focusing more on streaming services. While PC gaming seems more popular now than ever its highly doubtful that Steam will see a sharp decline in popularity throughout the 2020’s decade. But there is no question that streaming services and cloud-based gaming will definitely see a dramatic increase in popularity throughout the 20’s decade.

Retro Gaming 10’s- Mario Party 9: (2012)

When we think about classic party games for the Nintendo Wii one of the few titles that instantly comes to mind is Mario Party 9 developed by NDCube and published by Nintendo in 2012. While Mario Party 9 May not be the most popular installment within its series it was a game that was memorable in terms of gameplay since players had to utilize the Wii Remote & Nunchucks to make thing happen within the game. Mario Party 9 was also memorable because it was the final game within its series to appear on the Wii console since Mario Party 8 appeared on Nintendo’s some console during May 2007. Also, Mario Party 8 had a different developer prior to its release in Spring 2007 since Hudson had worked on it before ultimately going defunct in March 2012. In fact, Hudson Soft had been the developer for just about every Mario Party game since the late 90’s when the first installment had appeared in the Nintendo 64 back in December 1998. Seeing that we had a new developer for Mario Party 9 there were some interesting changes that people saw in comparison to what we got from some of the previous installments within the series.

Along with impressive visuals we got to see improvements with mini games with more emphasis on gameplay. In addition, to better gameplay in relation mini games the idea of having boss boss battles halfway through each board definitely made Mario Party 9 more interesting than its predecessor. The new features in Mario Party 9 were pretty cool especially considering the fact that its possible that we would have not seen those elements within game if Hudson Soft had remained the developer for a few more years. The inclusion on twelve different characters with two bonus villain characters Shy Guy and Kamek as unlockables was something that people definitely found interesting. There were various playable characters in Mario Party 9 including popular characters such as: Mario, Luigi Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Waluigi and others that made Mario Party 9 enjoyable despite not being the best installment within the series. In fact, Mario Party 9 had managed to sell at least 2.7 million copies on the Nintendo Wii since its release on the Nintendo Wii back in 2012. Mario Party 9 managed to be within the 25 best selling video games for the Wii console despite not selling as much as Mario Party 8 which sold at least 8.8 million copies worldwide since its release in ’07. While Mario Party 9 was mainly criticized for elements such as predictably many would still consider it to be a pretty decent game overall.

Retro Gaming 90’s- Super Mario: All-Stars (1993)

When we think about classic SNES titles from the early 90’s one of the few titles that people think about is the Super Mario: All Stars game from the early 90’s. For those who do know Super Mario Bros I, II, III along with Lost Levels were all initially released during the mid to late 80’s between 1985-1988. Super Mario Bros: All-Stars consisted of the four digitally remastered Mario games from the NES and seemed like a real treat for fans of the series. Super Mario: All-Stars was a couple of years removed from the release of Super Mario World from 1990 and was considered to be something extra to keep gamers interested in Nintendo’s main attraction; along with the release of Super Mario Kart from ’92. Also, it’s quite rare that we get to a collection of Mario games remastered in general. While Super Mario Sunshine along with Super Mario Galaxy I-II were not as popular as the Super Mario Bros titles for the NES they were still really good games that were never officially remastered for next generation consoles that succeeded the game systems they appeared on.

While its no secret that Nintendo likes to look to the future to constantly reinvent themselves its cool that Nintendo took the time to give us 16-bit versions of the NES Mario games from the mid to late 80’s. Super Mario: All-Stars was so popular that it eventually reached over 10 million copies worldwide in terms of sales by 2015. We also got to see Super Mario Bros I-III and lost Lost Levels ported for the Game Boy Advance during the 00’s. The amount of success that Super Mario: All-Stars had since ’93 is a testament to how fun the game was especially since you did not see too many four in one deals going on due the early 90’s on cartridges in general.
