The following post will meander a bit as I wrote it in a kind of stream of consciousness state.

I don’t know where you heard that Super Metroid was originally a remake of the NES game, I’d never heard that and I can’t find anything to back that up. As well, keep in mind that Super Metroid came out a full decade before Zero Mission did, and the original NES game that Zero Mission is a remake of was even lighter on story than Super is. If you aren’t enjoying Super because of a lack of story that’s fine, you won’t miss much if you skip it, though I will warn you that a very common complaint about fusion is that until basically the very end the game is extremely linear. That said, I also think it’s unfair to call Zero Mission an asset flip, it’s much more a full on remake. Back to the Super Metroid thing, I will point out that the Wrecked Ship in Super Metroid is mostly not the Wrecked Ship you traverse in Zero Mission, there’s like one screen that is shared between the two games.

Lies of P is amazing how dare you.

I mean, I for one consider the innevitability of burn in to be enough of a problem that the lack of an OLED screen is an upside honestly.

You are partly correct about DS2. It did increment even by wiping without spending the souls, but on the other hand the ranges involved meant that there was very likely always someone in range.

Looks like it’s not an issue fortunately.

Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.

The Wii U sold poorly for many of the same reasons I expect the Switch 2 is likely to sell poorly. That is a price increase, not great marketing as far as I can tell, and it being possibly too similar to its predecessor. On the other hand, at least the switch 2 does seem to have a better lineup of launch titles than the Wii U did.
