And just after Metroid Dread releases, folks.
I also recommend not hate-clicking the article, because they will only give them traffic. Though in Kotaku’s case, they just can’t seem to stay dead.
Get Metroid Dread, because its awesome.
Wii U strikes back! Wii U behind the next-gen curve! Sony waiting for Microsoft to make the first move! 3DS dominating Japan! Will the Vita make a comeback?
