Trivia Time!

Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the name "Metroid" was chosen in honor of American lawyer Metroid Smith, who defended Nintendo in the Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. case.

During the case, Miyamoto paid Smith a visit, who took Miyamoto on the NYC Metro, and then to a Mets game. The serendipity of these Met-based names left Miyamoto no choice, and the word "Metroid" was trademarked that very afternoon.

While trying to find his way back to his hotel after the baseball game, Miyamoto found himself lost in the metro system, encountering terrifying street performers throughout his journey. This underground exploration would inspire the gameplay of the Metroid series, and the game's bosses would each be based on the most upsetting performers that Miyamoto fled from.

Kraid in particular was based on a large man with a rickety green sousaphone, which shot screws and bolts out whenever the man blew too hard into his instrument.

Stay tuned for more Trivia Time segments in the near future!

The only bad thing about this game is they removed Steven from the E4.

Trivia Time!

WarioWare is actually canon within the Zelda timeline! After using the Sheikah Slate to activate the Divine Beasts before the Great Calamity, Princess Zelda became increasingly enamored with the device. As you may know, King Rhoam eventually banned the Princess from continuing her research of ancient technologies, commanding her to focus instead on awakening her sealing power in preparation for the conflict with Calamity Ganon. But what you may not know is that the final straw for Rhoam was when Zelda came to him and showed him something she had been working on.

On the Sheikah Slate, Zelda had discovered how to program "microgames", and created cartoonish characters based on people she knew. Dr. Crygor was based on Robbie, Purah became Penny, and the King himself (due to his gruff demeanor) was reimagined as Dribble. While upset that his daughter had drawn him as an anthropomorphic dog, Rhoam was especially incensed by the idea that his daughter was becoming a "degenerate gamer", and, between dry heaves, he immediately forbade her from using ancient tech.

El detonante de TODA la saga. Historia hecha videojuego. Está terriblemente mal hecho, lleno de bugs y completamente roto, pero cuando eras un niño en los 90, esto era lo puto máximo. Como GEN puede gustarte más o puede gustarte menos, pero es gracias a este pelotazo que tengamos lo que tenemos hoy en día.

La mecánica de las piedras de la suerte no está del todo pulida, pero que tu compañero sea un viejo transformado en gorro que te grita es prácticamente insuperable.

Ningún otro musou me ha conseguido enganchar.
Este ha sido el primero y el único.
Y es INCREÍBLE.
Eso sí le vas a tener que echar una barbaridad de horas XD

El modo historia tiene el equilibrio perfecto de dramatismo, epicidad y payaseo que pide el juego. Es increíble lo bien que conoce esta gente a sus propios personajes y a su público.

PD: confirmo que King mola más que mi puta madre

Éramos felices y no lo sabíamos
