It's only for VC games (or for any retroarch emulator in general), it works by connecting retroarch to the retroachievements website. It's pretty neat and it even has support for a few popular romhacks.

Would you pay 60 bucks for a Metroid 1-4 compilation on Nintendo Switch?
- Thread starter PaulGaleNetwork
- Start date
Easily. There's no affordable way to play most of them now and I have to plug in my Wii U to access most of them or pull out my 3DS and it's ass screen. I love fusion and zero mission but I don't play them anymore because I don't own the carts for them. There's a reason I mainly only replay super anymore

Yeah, and in this proposal, Metroid: Zero Mission is included. I personally think that Samus Returns alone, with improved visuals and performance, makes this bundle worth $60. 40 bucks going to one game and 20 being split across the other three = good value I think!
You would be getting most of the series; true.
In this bundle, Samus Returns takes over the original Metroid II.
Yeah, if we were talking full on remakes with exceptional detail and having the ability to toggle, then the value goes up immensely in my opinion.
Now that's a fan! Let's will this thing into existence!
Fingers crossed! :)
Samus Returns is an excellent game that hopefully you get to try out one of these days. Worth it in my opinion!
We can only hope!
Not bad.
Yeah, I think Nintendo Switch is the system to pull off a compilation on. The ratio of games sold to owners of the console is great. Now is the time to revive franchises, Big N!
One machine to play the whole 2D franchise...it'd be great! And Other M does have some good to it...just not of the pedigree of what you expect out of Metroid.
I see that and agree! Awesome.
That ability to save and rewind (the latter on NSO) is great!
Kind of like how Nintendo offered Fire Emblem for a side charge, they should do so with a Metroid bundle. One time charges to permanently have something in your library is a smart idea.
Oh I see what you mean. I didn't intend it to come off like that!
The more options, the better.
With Samus Returns being added in, I think that helps the value.
One of these four is Samus Returns which helps out.
I have them too. Good seeing someone else with the originals!
All right! That's what I like to hear, haha.
For sure I'd be up for Prime Trilogy HD!
A "making of" would be really cool, along with an art gallery of sorts. I'd love that.
Highly cleaned, optional widescreen modes!
It'd be great to play Zero Mission and Fusion, super crisp!
In that case, I'm Day One! (Well, I'd be, anyways...)
Haha, it's all good. Yeah, Samus Returns and Zero Mission being included for sure.
I see. That's all right!
I hope Metroid Dread sells 5-7 million copies, then Nintendo drops said bundle several months later, some time after that we get Prime Trilogy HD, followed by Metroid Prime 4. Staggered dates of these four releases between October, 2021 and March, 2023, keeping the fans happy and building new love for the series...man, that's what I'd like to see! Following this type of timeline and I think we'd get a new Metroid game every 3.5 years or so. Fingers crossed!
Thank you!
That would be cool.
Haha, yeah it'd be great value!
Nice!
What an OP. Single handedly replying to almost every response to his thread.
I'm working on it! Haha, thank you very much; I appreciate it. :) When I make a thread, I really enjoying replying to each and every person. Depending on the amount of responses...it does sometime take a little longer!
Yoshio Sakamoto is deadset on remaking these games with a different visual style, however he is unsure which of the following to go with. after he has planted a bomb inside your skull that will detonate of you do not choose, he asks you: Which one?

A little fanart/experiment. I really wish Nintendo would make another 2D Metroid game.

Nope. It'd have to be $40 or less. Nintendo is basically the only company in the industry that can get away with charging top dollar for barebones implementations of their classic games. What I would pay top dollar for is the same collection done in the style of what Digital Eclipse does.

Heck yeah, thanks for supporting the cause!
Yeah, Prime Trilogy HD for $60 is an easy buy!
And you know that in this bundle, Samus Returns also got a sweet visual bump to help tempt you!
That'd be a fair setup, too.
Fewer than 14 million, sadly. Nintendo has an awesome opportunity here to boost up nearly all of their dormant franchises.
Bah bah bo Bah BAH Bah bo bah bee bah bo bah BAAAAAAHHH!!
Choo choooooo!
Yeah, definitely the updated two!
I was glad that Wii games transferred over to Wii U, but yeah, it'd have really been something special to have that continue with Nintendo Switch. Hoping that Nintendo has a great future back/forward compatible setup with NS.
If we get enough games in a bundle/extra work done, I'll pay the price.
How are you enjoying the Prime Trilogy?
Haha, excellent.
Hopefully you're gotten back to. (Looks like you are below. Nice.)
Yeah, a bit of a soft upgrade approach.
That is pretty cool.
I hope you enjoy gaming on the console. Are you getting the OLED Model by any chance? And yeah, this compilation would be great!
Nice!
I'm glad you saw the reply. :)
Yeah, it's that convenience factor that's so awesome with Nintendo Switch. I have all of the games, too, but would really like them on one device.

Three different, but very cool takes. I'm going with #2 before the bomb goes off!
I think that one is gonna happen, eventually. Hoping that Prime 1 gets a "remake" treatment within the trilogy compilation. Let us play it the classic way or with modern visuals. I'm ok with the others being in 1080p, 16x9.
So many satisfied heartbeats in this thread. Good to see!
Thank you! I got it from First 4 Figures. One of my favorite statues.
A new, optional art style to select would be sweet.
I'm planning to. Might take a while until I can find one, though.
OP's photo doesn't do it justice. That first 4 figures statue is even better in person. Took forever for f4f to release it because Nintendo asked for changes multiple times which caused delays. Ended up being totally worth the initial asking price though
Personally I wouldn't, but that's because I still have my Wii U hooked up and my 3DS at the ready. I can easily play all 4 games as is.
If I didn't have them handy, though, I would definitely consider buying a collection. At $60 I would grumble but ultimately buy it anyway. I would want the original versions of 1 & 2 to be there, though, as I still prefer NES Metroid to Zero Mission.

Yeah, I probably would.
Metroid Zero Mission is fantastic.
I skipped Samus Returns, but apparently it's pretty good.
Super Metroid is a bit old and outdated compared to the GBA games.
Metroid Fusion is a quite good.

That game is still full price lol
But I would pay $40 for Samus Returns remastered.
I know this pain too well. I have a few statues that I couldn't bring with me when I moved out because I had no space to display them. I ended up only bringing one statue with me :'(
I would assume that if they did a $60 paid collection they would have better scaling, filters and save state support at this point, given that it is expected of collections these days
Im gonna spend 49 euros on Dread (and would pay 60 euros, but nintendo games are always cheaper at release at a famous store here), and spent full price on the rest of the series. I dont mind being it a 2d game, is brand new, it looks amazing and theres was a lot of work put into it.
Huge fan of the series, but the practice of nintendo putting roms bearably touched in a card for a high price and limited time is fucking disgusting, when other companies are making remakes of trilogies of games for less money in better packs.
Im not saying the should completely remake zero mission, Samus returns, Super and Fusion. But at the bare minimum they should rework all this games so the pixelart look crisp in modern tvs, add 16:9 to Super Metroid and control retouched so it plays more like zero mission and fusion (theres already mods out there that do this for super), remaster the ost of zero mission and fusion, add better textures to samus returns so it looks nice at 1080p, all that jazz.
They should also add the movie theater of Other M (like kingdom heart packs do with non playable games), and the original game already had that option so its work already done.
That and i will pay 60 euros, and even more for a limited edition. Shit like the mario collection and it can stay far away from me.

I hope you snag one come launch!
Yeah it's a gorgeous statue! From when I pre-ordered it to its final arrival, was quite some time, but totally worth the wait in the end. Multiple changes had to take place, coloring work, more lights, etc. I love it though!
Samus Returns HD might make it worthwhile for a good amount of people.
I'm sure some would!
Not everyone will. Curious if Metroid Prime Trilogy HD is more attractive more most gamers.
Heck yeah and thanks regarding my Samus! I don't have a designated statue room, but rather have them in various places throughout my house. This way, it gives me more opportunities to see them throughout the day. None are in the kitchen though, haha. Yet? I know the Link on Epona one and it's great. (Don't have it, but do have Link on King of Red Lions). I hope you find a place to show it off!
Remakes of the originals would be awesome if handled right.
That's true.
I think the 2D Metroid series has been consistently great over the years, especially when you add in the remakes, but everyone's different.
Yeah, if all 6 were in there, 60 bucks would be quite nice. Good that you have the originals though!
I know what poll option you selected. Nice!
Yeah, I think you'd enjoy Samus Returns if you like the others. Super Metroid with a few updates that don't change up the game in a bad way, but rather modernize the feel slightly (perhaps along with some crisped up visuals) would begreat.
I think that answers that, lol. Maybe...hopefully we get Zero Mission and Fusion on NSO this month.
Yeah!
All 6 would be pretty sweet, especially with some minor updates and an art gallery thrown in.
Stuff like an optional widescreen mode that still looks proper within the games' worlds, would be cool. Nice that you have a statue. What of?
You laid out just what I was getting at with this compilation! A crisp look that maximizes the pixel art, not tainting it, 16x9, etc. I'm not expecting a Crash Bandicoot Trilogy remake experience and cost, but some work done would be huge.
1/6 scale: Wolverine, Spidey, Magneto
1/4 scale: Joker, Batman, Sagat, Ryu, Master Chief, Samus and Akuma. Akuma is the only one I ended up bringing when I moved. Rest are still at my parents place
OP
OP
That's a cool lineup! You don't happen to have THIS Ryu, do you?
I have it pre-ordered from Prime 1 Studio and am pretty stoked. They also made an Akuma which compliments this statue. Pretty cool. I'm looking into getting a Superman: Hush statue as well. (There's an amazing Godzilla vs Kong one but it's quite large. Would be totally worth it though!)
I was so stressed out when i had to move a year ago that I straight up just donated a bunch of games including my pristine steelbook case copy of metroid prime trilogy. Not even on accident, a conscious choice. Now I'm pissed lol.
Just had to get that off my chest

That stings! Hopefully you'll have a new opportunity to play the trilogy again on Nintendo Switch. 🤞
Already own all the games physical, but I'm such a Metroid fan I'd buy it anyway for the collection.
If anything they'd split out Samus Returns and sell an HD version at the full price. That's a modern game.
