A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Of newer games i am considering super mario bros wonder or tears of the kingdom. But i also never played metroid prime (had it on gc but hated the controls) - just not sure if i want to play it on wii (i liked corruption controls) or the remastered version om switch.

Ill probably also start a ds game i never got to play in parallel.

Maybe uncharted on ps3? Never playes those. As you can see i have not yet decided :p

If you have a pc/steamdeck there is a metroid prime hack pack that gives you more standard joystick controls for all three games. I'd recommend playing that way.

How do you get that setup? My steamed is mostly stock now.

I think I used this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/u8748j/metroid_prime_trilogy_primehack_a_steam_deck_guide/

Basically you can install emudeck (emulation package) through the desktop mode and through that install primehack. I think it automatically adds them to your steam library, but could be mistaken.

Wonder is alright, but felt really short to me. TOTK on the other hand is an amazing mess that really hurts if you loved BOTW. Pick your poison with those two, I guess. Wonder does have a "challenge road" at the end, but it didn't feel great either.

Yeah, both are okay in my book. Wonder spent to much time on the "wonders" that the platforming is just okay. And TOTK is just a more grindy BOTW.
