Totally - Zero Mission is an awesome game and completely blows the original away. Axiom Verge isn't bad, it's just not quite up to par with Metroid. It does have a few low points and after dealing with a few of them, it was enough that I walked away and haven't looked back.

Did some quick research and it doesn't support Cross Save at this time. So I might restart the game at some point here since I'm in between games on handhelds at the moment.

I might pick this back up on Vita. I was playing it on PS4, but eventually lost interest. I usually love these kinds of games, but it got to the point where I was running back and forth the entire world a lot looking for a needle in a haystack, which just got... boring, quite frankly.

Does anyone know if this one has cross-save? If I can pick up where I left off I might start up again on Vita. Seems like something that I'd play in bed.

Cool! Looking forward to checking out the review. Hopefully you enjoyed it :)

Also, I'll definitely be sure to post something about my thoughts on Star Fox Zero when I give it a shot. I'm 50/50 on the controls. I've heard people praise the fact that you can do a lot more using them than with the traditional Star Fox games and others lambaste the general mix of motion + button controls. I can definitely see both ends, so I'm hoping they click for me. Star Fox 64 is long overdue for a competent follow-up!

Still haven't cracked open Star Fox Zero yet. Came at the worst time (near the release of a Dark Souls game), so it'll be a little while before I jump in. I'm excited to try it and I hope the controls click, because I adore Star Fox and desperately want to enjoy this game.

If you're curious to learn more about Star Fox 2, I wrote a piece on it a while back. Give it a look!

I had and hated this game as a kid. What a turd. One of the few games I traded in to Funcoland along with TMNT, Ghostbusters, and Robocop. On the positive side, they collectively funded A Link to the Past, which is phenomenal.

Oh, sure. I'll throw enough into Dex to make it worthwhile a bit further down the line. But I try to dump most into Strength up front since it's cheap and the ROI is best on that stuff early in the game.

I just grabbed the bundle version with Sly and Lego for $30. Haven't done anything with it yet, but I figured it'd be nice for playing the Persona games on the TV, as well as other oddball Vita and PS1 games. I'd also like to try the PS4 streaming out, but I'm guessing it won't be perfectly smooth based on my experience with Steam Link.

So far my typical strategy of dumping 100% of my levels into strength is working out well. I agree that it hasn't been too tough yet, though I'm not particularly far at this point. I think I saw you mention on Twitter you finished in 74 hours... so you've got 70 more hours into the game than I do at this point haha.

They're not my jam, but if you like them, I'm glad they're out there for you.
