To be fair, I've only been on here for a year haha. I recognise you from twitter too. I also have an Instagram account, so I'm pretty much on multiple social media sites for a bigger reach :D

Good news is that I'm working on one of those right now :D

These are the remaining worlds:
Star Fox, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Metal Gear, R.O.B., Xenoblade Chronicles, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy VII, Bayonetta, Splatoon, Castlevania, Fatal Fury, Minecraft, Kingdom Hearts.

Additional franchises will be considered after these are done.

I'm still waiting for my copy. Amazon UK thought it was a good idea to have mine dispatch a week later, so I'll have to wait until Wednesday. They're bad with pre-orders, yet they're the only retailer selling it for my country.

I was expecting the marketing to pick up this month. We've already seen that Nintendo have hidden two videos, so what's the hold up? It feels like Nintendo is holding back for some reason.

Unfortunately in recent years people have started backtracking and making contradictions. They now claim his inclusion in Fusion was "shoehorned" in, and every time he's added to a game, he takes away from other villains - both statements are false. He's added for fan appeal, important for the brand

*Since Metroid Samus Returns was released BEFORE the Ridley amiibo, the Ridley amiibo was not compatible with that game. Nintendo didn't update the game to add the compatibility either. However, both games had all (at their respective times) Metroid themed amiibo compatible.

The remaining games for the year are Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Obviously the Ridley amiibo will not work with Kirby Air Riders (why would it). Given how previous Metroid games have had compatibility with all Metroid themed amiibo*, I would assume Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will.

The Ridley amiibo seems to be compatible with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. While the details about what the amiibo will unlock are unknown at this point in time, given compatibility with previous Hyrule Warrior games, I would guess it would have a similar effect here.

Before people question the idea of having the NES GBA Metroid and Prime Trilogy, remember that we have multiple versions of the original Super Mario Bros. games spread across NES, SNES (All-Stars), and GBA, plus both versions of A Link to the Past. Multiple versions can happen.

Plus since it's a sci-fi based franchise featuring space bird people that created parasitic jellyfish and a giant biological super computer, a dragon that leads a space crustacean-like army, magic/powers, ghosts + spectral enemies... anything can happen, especially since time travel is a thing now.

All the anti-Ridley stuff boils down to the same old stupid arguments of him "being shoehorned", "he's dead dead", and "adding him doesn't make sense". Ridley has never been shoehorned into games, he has a purpose. It's fine to not like Ridley, but stop lying.
