NVC: Metroid, Metroid, Metroid


It's been seven years since we got a proper Metroid game. We're ready.

Welcooooooome to episode 372 of Nintendo Voice Chat, our weekly talk show for all things Nintendo Switch and 3DS. Brian, Zach, and Peer are back from PAX -- and thanks in part to extended flight delays, had plenty of time to play Metroid: Samus Returns while waiting on the tarmac. But we also invited Sam to give his perspective of Nintendo's first proper Metroid game in seven years (nope, we're not counting that other one). We've invoked the name "Metroid" on this show so many times, we're still getting used to the fact that we're this close to the return of the franchise. If you haven't watched NVC before, this may be a good time to jump in.

Join Brian Altano, Zach RyanPeer Schneider, and Samuel Claiborn for much Metroid talk, a rundown of the latest games available for Switch and 3DS, and, of course, what it means that Rockstar is creating a version of L.A. Noire for Nintendo Switch. See, Metroid -- you don't have to feel bad. It's been eight years since we've seen Rockstar anywhere near a Nintendo console!

Discussion topics and times:

00:00 Welcome!

01:58 What the hell happened at PAX? Cringe at the Top 10 list abomination we birthed. (Yes, we'll post video of our Let's Rank panel online as well. Look for it next week!)

07:10 Monster Hunter Stories, Neuro Voider, Double Dragon 4, Lichtspeer, LEGO Worlds, The Bridge, Rayman Legends -- lots of new games are out. Which ones beg for a closer look, which ones should you avoid?

17:21 Switch is turning into the indie mega-machine. More announcements trickled out right after the Nindies event.

19:10 Splatoon 2's updates -- plus, what we think of Japan's exclusive Splatfest (are we, you know, "loving it"?). Also, be sure to check out the Five Things We Want Nintendo to Fix in Splatoon 2, now also in article form.

20:58 Nintendo-branded* SDXC Cards are coming. What's it mean for Switch fans. (*packaging) Also: tangent alert!

27:08 The biggest game announcement of the month!

29:05 Okay, sorry. The biggest game announcement of the month (even if the game's not the freshest squid in the paint bucket)! What could it mean for Switch that Rockstar is bringing L.A. Noire to the system?

38:35 Fan trivia at PAX, featuring Naomi Kyle

40:38 Metroid: Samus Returns. We share our views of the final game after putting in a few hours. Should you dig out your 3DS (if you've, you know, switched) or is it okay to skip Nintendo's leading lady's return?

01:01:00 Question Block

Will you play Metroid: Samus Returns?
