     Games I look forward to next year:
     [...]
     Metroid Prime 4 (I’ve never played one of the 3D troids but I wanna)

     It kinda ruined parts of Metroid 2 and it's definitely one of the weaker 2D troids, but it has solid moment to moment gameplay and Samus "feels" great to control.

     really hope MercurySteam gets to keep cranking out some more 2D troids

     the metroid fights, meanwhile, their counter tells are SO LONG i always miss them by hitting the button early. like, it can't possibly be that long. except it is. i have no success trying to do it on reaction either..
