You mean the company that routinely sells it's 8 year old games for $60 and never puts them on sale for more than $10 off?
This will never happen.
It's worth it for just Axiom Verge 1, if you haven't played it. It's the best Metroid game that's not a Metroid game. I kinda bounced off the second one, I finished it and never touched it again, but I've played the first one half a dozen times. It follows the 2D Metroid formula very closely, while being just different enough to be it's own thing. I also appreciate that it's not afraid to try something other than the fairly standard wall kick/air dash/double jump trinity. I really can't recommend it enough.

That is one of the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard (if you mean a PC release maybe that's not what you mean). Nintendo has NEVER put a 1st party game on any platform other than their own consoles EVER EVER EVER. This have made very strong statements to that effect.

Now is it possible.... well, we can't disprove an improbable but possible future. So yes... it could happen. I just wouldn't expect it in my lifetime.

Both axiom verge games are great, ghost song is good but pretty difficult. The others look to be small players but with decent reviews.

Lol yeah I think he meant why can't Humble build a bundle that includes a handful of PC games plus a Switch key for the actual Metroid game.

Either way, since we're on the topic, can't go without mentioning how Metroid Dread works pretty great on PC via Yuzu.

Having said that, I enjoyed Ghost Song (in this bundle) much more than actual Metroid.

Worth it for Axiom Verge 1&2, if you don't already have them.

I played Axiom Verge 2 on PS+ and felt bad that I didn't own the game, so I paid for the soundtrack [bandcamp.com] instead.
