The Weekly Stuff #458 - Nintendo Direct Breakdown & Metroid Prime Remastered

<p>Nintendo didn’t just drop a surprise Nintendo Direct on us this week, but delivered an event chock-full of surprises and a huge number of immediate releases – most notably the long-rumored, much-anticipated <i>Metroid Prime Remastered, </i>a terrific release that is pretty much the platonic ideal of a video game remaster. But we also got GameBoy and GameBoy Advance games on Switch for the first time via the Online service, got new demos for imminent releases like <i>Octopath Traveler II </i>and <i>Kirby: Return to Dream Land Deluxe, </i>got our first real look at <i>Pikmin 4, </i>and saw our first decent chunk of gameplay from <i>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. </i>We talk about all this and more – and you better believe Jonathan is here to spread the gospel of <i>Metroid Prime. </i></p><p>Enjoy! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:00:40</p><p>Intro & Stuff: 0:00:40 – 0:16:56</p><p>Nintendo Direct Breakdown: 0:16:56 – 1:25:40</p><p>Subscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our sister series about the wide, wacky world of anime: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation">https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation</a>  </p><p>Explore our archives and subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcasting platforms:</p><p><a href="https://weeklystuffpodcast.com/">https://weeklystuffpodcast.com</a></p><p>Follow <i>The Weekly Stuff Wordcast </i>newsletter for regular updates and extra content! </p><p><a href="https://weeklystuff.substack.com/">https://weeklystuff.substack.com</a></p><p>Ending music by Thomas Lack <a href="https://www.thomaslack.com/">https://www.thomaslack.com/</a></p><p> </p>
