Quote from Prime Hunter:

So basically what happened in Brawl's Subspace Emmisary storyline?

Kinda, except Brawl didn't include Pirates, Upgrades, a powerless ZSS, an expansive world, enemies based off the suit but not copies of it, or damn near anything I suggested.

The only similarities between my idea and Brawl, can said of Zero Mission and Brawl as well...

I like it. I would guess that they would use Samus suit mostly just to reproduce Metroids (assuming its post-Fusion.)

Actually the game should have given you like a goofy moral choice thing, defy orders like a bad person or be nice and only use what you're allowed to use. "Bad" ending has Adam and everyone else murdered by your rampage, "good" ending goes as normal.

this would have been awesome. i love retarded moral choice systems in games lol

Well yeah, I realized after I said that there was only a minor similarity. I was mainly talking about Samus having to infiltrate a base to get her suit back. I'd say ZM is a slightly different matter to me because she was trying to either escape or take out the pirates, it just so happened that she found her way to the ruins and found a new Power Suit.

I'm not trying to knock your idea at all, by the way. I think it would be an interesting twist, although how many more of those are needed/necessary for the series is up for debate around here. Seeing as I loved the ZSS part of ZM though I'd have no problem with them starting the game that way but with the traditional mechanics of upgrading and exploration included. (As in some of the items would be found in the ZSS segment and then transfer over to the Power Suit once it was found again.)

And maybe they could give ZSS something that actually damaged enemies? Something like the whip from Brawl. Or maybe she could pick up a severed Pirate claw.

She'll Lethal Strike the pirates with her stun pistol, AFTER they've been stunned.

Quote from Chozoid:

Nah. Someone in the Pirates would think that instead of trying to simply overpower her, they'll reproduce her powers by stealing them and equipping their soldiers with it. (Can you imagine Pirates with a Power Bomb attack?)
If they reproduce Metroids that'd be just that "final twist" Personally I think they'd reproduce the SA-X and cybernetically control it. (Can you imagine a fight with the SA-X in Other M's style? Drool

)

Pirate in a Power Suit. All you need to know.

EDIT: Certainly not a chozo power suit...

That...that...might be the worst idea I've ever heard, or the most awesome idea I've ever heard.

Here's an idea: They give you a point on the map to go to, you start with all your powers. After a short walk, you're in some kind of central chamber. You can continue along a linear path to the boss, or you can sacrifice powers to open specific cooridors and explore.

Not sure how that mechanic would work well.

Honestly I can't imagine a "single" game where it gives you the option "Kick a bosses ass" or "Explore while giving up your powers" That sounds like 2 split games.

Indie Lover

it would hurt to make one game where she really goes bounty hunting, a la bobba fett?

more of a open ~~world~~ galaxy, where you can get some side missions, go to some hazardous planet, hunt some pirate/outlaw and bring him back to whoever posted the bounty?

maybe even fighting some other hunters (hired by the guy/organization you are just hunting) of course, you can explore this worlds and find upgrades and expansions like a normal metroid game...

I don't think Nintendo likes the idea of Samus going out killing people for cash. It doesn't really fit the whole Nintendo image.

Maybe they just feel uncomfortable about it. Kinda like StarFox being mercenaries. Since Rare was sold to Microsoft, we haven't seen much of StarFox.

Never stressed

Quote from Prime Hunter:

Isn't your example more or less what happens in Super?

Happens in a lot of metroid games, actually. Same goes for every other item, finding it yourself is the best way to get it and would completely eliminate the most stupid of things in Other M. Might as well stick with what works.

Quote from arkarian:

I'd have preordered the game if they did that. No joke.

You'd think I'd know better about the item acquisition thing by now. "Of course that's how it works, dummy!" d'oh!

(Speaking to myself, not to you tomatobob) Don't know what I was thinking/trying to say with that comment.

Starfox is a nintendo property. the game rare made wasn't even a starfox game originally so it doesn't have anything to do with the series.
we're getting a remake of the best one for 3DS anyway so i'm fine with that.
