I use a 42 inch when docked, but I tried handheld and  I can barely tell what's going on. Too dark

My physical copy got shipped from amazon.ca yesterday and is due to arrive this afternoon.

I forgot how much and frequent the backtracking was> Would have been nice if they'd added the ability to teleport between save points

12 hours in. Spectacular game and @Biggie the fusion controller is easily worth $100. Hands down the best and most comfortable controller I've ever used.

Beat Grim Guardians and try this after Kirby

I really wanna try this but the backtracking and the constant getting stuck has me very concerned

I definitely say try it but I can also see it pissing you off

Today is the UK release and I’ve managed to purchase a physical copy for delivery. So, at some point in the future, I’ll be playing this too. 
 

I just hope that they make some announcement about the sequel being remastered because I’d feel bad about spending £25 on a GameCube game.

Man this game looks so good. Hope Prime 4 looks even better since it'd be running on a newer engine. It's so fun revisiting this game again after so many years. Just got to Magmoor Caverns. This game could've been released this year as the original and it still would be getting high praise, that's how well Prime has aged. 

 

Still getting used to the controls. I wanted to use motion since I loved the pointer controls in Corruption, but here they feel a little off, and I think it's that the dead zone is too big. I wish there was an option to adjust it, or at least have options like there was in Corruption. Shouldn't be too hard to patch something like that in. As is I'm using dual analog controls with gyro aiming turned on for slight adjustments.

Woooo, finally got my copy today! I plan on starting it once I finished Fire Emblem.

[gamer.tv]

I’ve just acquired the Super Missiles…now I just need some more Missile expansions so it won’t be the end of me! What an awesome, awesome game. So far, my guide use has been to tell me which area to go to, rather than scour the map for a random door.

Just started this. I’m excited! And it’s great to be back in a big gaming mood.

How are you finding it? I’ve just got the gravity suit and so far, I’d describe this as a borderline perfect game. My only gripe, which relates more to modern gaming, is the bosses (so far) could have been more engaging, but as far as 2002 goes, it’s stellar and so well paced.

I'm early, but I really like it! I'll be playing more tonight.

I got to Phendrana Drifts last night, and got the Boost Ball rolling. Time to Tony Hawk some shit up.

I started this last night and it is extremely, extremely good. It feels exactly like a 3D Metroid should feel like. I came into Metroid late - I played through about half of Super a year or two ago, and got through like 80% of Dread and loved it - so this is the first time I've played Prime. I almost feel guilty in a way, because I can see how the old control scheme would have sucked ass, and yet I get to experience it for the first time in its idealized state.

I was absolutely gonna get back to this while I was off this weekend, but nature determined otherwise. I don’t really like playing this in handheld mode.

I'm still in the process in trying to beat this but Zelda took over my life. MP is phenomenal, though.
