I'm making the new OP, is there anything in particular people would like covered there or in a short FAQ section?

I think it would be nice to include the advantages and disadvantages of the Switch as we know it so far. We all know the advantages (Which will be easy for you to write) but things some people may not know if looking to make a purchase would be online is tethered to a secondary device once that goes live for voice and lobby. Friends still require a code. (And if people make enough noise maybe they can change that as they did with the online free game service). Not having the ability to back up your saves to anything and restore them if needed. Possibly classify warranty periods. Joycon warranty when bundled with the Switch is One Year. 90 days if you bought the Joycon separately by itself. The 800 number for Nintendo's support line for folks that have Joycon issues. (Nintendo is good about fixing these). For those interested in purchasing but do not want to pay scalpers, how to set up alerts on Nowinstock.com to let them know when they are available for online purchase (Usually bundles with Gamestop however) as those seem more frequent than most. I would say while the online service will be sub par due to it requiring a tethered smart device for full functionality, it is significantly cheaper than standard subscriptions across the PS4 and Xbox One platforms and mention that as an advantage.

I think I would also keep a segment open for the E3 announcements for games and link those games if possible.

I will be as clear as possible on how exactly the Switch and different systems within it work, to our knowledge so far. I'm not going to label anything an advantage or disadvantage, people can decide that on their own.

Any new 2d Metroid is going to received poorly anyway. They'll always be unfavorably compared to Super Metroid regardless of the actual quality of the game.

There's been plenty of good games in the genre and Nintendo could easily usurp Super Metroid.

I think AM2R wouldn't have been as favorably received if it weren't unofficial and seen as "fighting against the man". It's competently executed and that's about it.

Well, if Am2r were an officially made game, it'd probably have been more tightly tested and designed in the first place, so this argument is already weird.

That aside, Am2r is still by itself mostly fine. It does have some bad decisions, so I agree it wouldn't look as favorable, but I think the game would've still had a good reception.

I find it less useful than metroidvania at this point, and metroidvania has already been a term that's been watered down for years.

The only thing that I'd associate as a unique upon hearing "soulslike" would be deliberately slow action pacing, but even that hasn't been unique to Dark Souls so eh.

What makes a Blasphemous a "soulslike" other than the general aesthetic? The trailer made it look like an exceptionally gory platformer.
