HzMod supports the original 3DS. I apologize if my wording was confusing. The issue with the original model is it has less memory and processing power compared to the later model, which may introduce some performance issues that you won't necessarily see on the New 3DS.
Use a PS4 or PS5 controller with DS4Windows for the touchpad button.
Aside from having Metroid DNA integrated into hers now she is still very much human as we see at the end of the game. I was frankly kind of disappointed upon seeing her with her suit off at the end of Fusion as I had gotten the impression that her power suit couldn't be completely removed anymore due to the X parasite infection. We'll have to see how they handled it when the game comes out in October. I do have to wonder, though, if the corruption between the the Metroids, Dark World, and X parasites all contribute to why the Chozo are hostile toward her in Dread.
Right, forgot about the Phazon. Maybe they retconned those ending images to fit more with the plot points I was referring to in Fusion.
Either way, she's genetically a hybrid super human now.
The OLED switch seems great. But.....I don't currently play portable mode often enough to warrant the cost of upgrading.
The game was fun. The aesthetics don't do it for me. The switch is showing it's age. Load times are unbearable in this game after playing the PS5. Game does chug a bit in spots like the final boss.
Fantastic news.
that you can use to get more health and missiles.
This game only exists because Samus Returns was so successful. Same developer & style. If you enjoy this game, I highly recommend playing SR on 3DS. I'm kind of shocked Nintendo didn't cash in on samus returns by porting it to Switch about a year ago.
Is that the purple one? That one is the hardest by far. I read a walkthrough that said you had to fight it in this tiny area, but you really don't, you can get to a much larger platform pretty easily.
They're adequate, but I agree if it were on a different platform it could look way better. This is kinda what I mean earlier in the thread where it looks like it could have been a 3DS game or something, not a whole lot would have had to be changed.
I just kept hitting dead ends because I still needed a couple of key pieces of gear. Rolling pretty smoothly now that I have those actually. I suppose when I hit the purple guy I'll know what you're talking about.
Gotcha - yeah, you'll get to the purple one, it's one of the last ones you have to deal with. I believe the yellow gives you the speed boost, which is why it's so fast.It was the yellow one in Dairon. It wasn't hard at all to fight it. It was just the first one that seemed faster than I could run, and the EMMI Zone was split up into separate sections that had to be accessed from other areas. It wasn't terribly difficult, and I seem to be good at parrying. It was just more of a pain than the others up to that point, and I died disproportionately to the others. I took it out pretty easily last night after I finally figured out how to get to the central area of the map where the eyeball thing is.
I'm really enjoying this game. IMO it's more about the feel and speed than some of the other ones. Of course Super Metroid and the GBA ones were fast and smooth, but I always felt like some of the movement (jumping specifically) was clunky and floaty. You get used to it, but it all feels much more fluid on this one. Chaining complex movements together just looks and feels right to me.
There's also a few items that are behind block chain puzzles, where for example you have to use ball-bombs to bounce up, open one space, then jump up and hit it with rockets, the jump in, roll through without falling through the touch-blocks, in order to just get a missile tank upgrade. I still haven't grabbed that one yet. It pissed me off. I'll have to go back for it later. (I'm also trying a 100% approach.)
Ah, yeah. Some of those you need the cross-bomb upgrade to get across. The game doesn't really do a good job of explaining that you can use it to boost you across those pitfall blocks.Having just finished Hollow Knight for the second time, including Path of Pain, this isn't too bad. I do agree that some things are a bit of a pain to access though. I've run into a couple of the speed boost bricks that are definitely pretty stupid
Some of the bosses are pretty stupid-hard, but some that feel that way on your first few attempts are surprisingly easy once you know their patterns. Some of them are hard no matter what though. I didn’t really do the Pantheon of the Gods thing much. I really hate boss rushes and boss battles for the sake of it. If they aren’t hiding some amazing tool for me to play the rest of the game with then they can…
Thanks for all the info, I will more than likely revisit it someday.I’m not a controller thrower either, but Hollow Knight is the one game that made me feel like that!
I’ve explored the entire map a million times over, and eventually it’s just second nature to get where you want to go without much map use. The path of pain though. Fuck that place! Beat it twice which may be twice too many.
Actually I basically beat it three times, because the middle try, I got all the way to the end, had plenty of health for the two guys you fight, but got pushed into the spikes and kind of stuck there until I died. If you die-die, like that, you have to start from the beginning!! It was a little while until I decided to go back that third time to complete it twice.
Anyway, it’s not required to go that route. I just had to prove to myself (more than once it seems) that I was still good enough at these sorts of things.
You should give it another shot someday. There are two excellent YT channels to reference if you’re really stuck on something. They’re both a bit annoying, but they know their shit. One is Relya the other is Rusty-something I think.
I tried not to resort to that, but there are a couple of spots, and a couple of bosses that almost require looking up.
The other thing is to know which combos of charms are actually useful, and which ones seem like they would be but aren’t. That makes the later game SO much easier. It’s worth grinding to get the stuff you need as early as possible, then play more relaxed later.
Anyway, sorry for taking up Metroid space with that
