  • Now, I may be biased as a long time fan, but I still play MGS1 every few years and I still love it. The first two (or four, depending if you want to count the NES games) Metal Gear games, those are far more outdated and are more a curiosity and are not really required to understand the story, especially with the interview / interrogation of Snake extras on the MGS1 discs.

    And the later games are even less outdated than MGS1. I would recommend starting with MGS1 on the PS1 rather than it’s remake since while Twin Snakes was made under Kojima’s supervision, the more Hollywood action movie style of it and especially it’s cutscenes don’t IMO really fit MGS1. It’s a good game in it’s own right for sure, but as an adaptation/remake of MGS1 it’s kinda hit or miss at times.

    I have a what I assume to be about 1500€ to 2000€ machine (I don’t know the exact value as I inherited it from my cousin who passed away in January) and I can play BotW on yuzu just fine. I assume that even a thousand euro machine would be able to handle switch emulation fine, at least if you don’t go doing any enhancements like unlocking the framerate or running shaders…

    Nintendo games rarely (as in, barely ever) get discounted, especially first party games. Remember how they offered a certain game (I think it might have been 3D All-Stars?) for a limited time only? Nintendo is rather anti-consumer in the long run.

    So if you keep waiting for a price drop, it’s gonna be a while. Maybe you get lucky and some third party shop sells it for 40$. Don’t expect it to go under that for a long time, it’s a Zelda game. The ones who really want it will buy it regardless of the price, and Nintendo or the other shops don’t really care about the rest.
