Welp I was walking through Walmart yesterday and remembered that they sell all Switch games for only $50, and since I'm passing through Oregon (no sales tax) I was like hmmm I can get Metroid now for $49.94 physical instead of having to wait a year or two for a decent discount to like $40 on the digital version, so I just picked it up on a whim.
Only an hour in but good so far. I am actually very surprised that I do in fact feel the Dread! Whenever I'm in an EMMI zone I'm freakin out and get all tense. Didn't think that would actually happen. So good job Nintendo. Cool so far, but I do miss the old school style of lots of platforms with enemies walking in loops around them - just feels a bit less like classic Metroid. The slide and targeting and counter attack are all nice. Great atmosphere. I like the no hand-holding approach how you just gotta figure everything out on your own. Died a bunch on EMMIs already.
