With Metroid Prime and GBA games on Switch, I can finally reconnect with the adventures I grew up with
Nintendo has always had a combative relationship with preservation, if not its own history. Despite cultivating a large player base, spanning seven console generations, the publisher has often made it more difficult than it needs to be to return to its classics. The best GBA games have effectively been lost to time, while a great many of the best Game Boy games and best GameCube games are prohibitively expensive in the second-hand market. Want to go back and replay something like a Metroid Prime or The Legend of zelda: Minish Cap? Then you, my friend, are shit out of luck. The tide is changing after the February Nintendo Direct, where it was announced that Nintendo would be putting a selection of Game Boy, GB Color, and Game Boy Advance games on Switch, along with remasters of cult-classic GC titles.
