oh and i stand corrected again. sakamoto screwed the pooch. sorry team ninja. did an awesome job with the action and cinema btw......but u did still screw up item recovery by spoonfeeding us where all the damn locations were.

ya know if nintendo hadnt put out that damn timeline all of the continuity issues between mp3 and OM could have easily been resolved with putting mp3 after OM. uggg maybe nintendo power editors just put out there own theory but do not speak for any of the metroid storyboarders.........

It is impossible for any prime to be after OM. Zebes was referenced in prime. It is implied that Prime 3 took place months after Prime 2.

I think the developers even said 6 months after Echoes.

Sakamoto just doesn't give a crap about the prime series.

also, Retro wanted to delve too deep into the series with their stuff. they should have done self-contained tales like the mp1 and 2 stories that don't produce plotholes as easily.

Originally Prime was supposed to take place after Fusion, but they quickly took that back. That's why with the lead-up to Echoes, you saw the first official Metroid timeline.

i don't think mp1 was ever intended to be after Fusion. unless it was really early into development when fusion didn't exist yet.

He should. They're much better games than Sakamoto made without Gunpei Yokoi.

Gunpei Yokoi didn't really work on Super Metroid at all. He was sorta just there.

Fair enough, but there isn't a bad Metroid game with his name attached, is there?

There is a bad Nintendo console with Gupei's name attached. Does that count?

No, he made the Game Boy. He can kill my mom and he'd still be amazing.

LOL.

Anyways, yeah. Sakamoto didn't really care about Prime. However, only Metroid Prime 3 really got fired at.

Why am I so amazing?

Just consider it temporary amnesia that is an effect of the apparent emotional breakdown Samus is having.

Yes, she's having an emotional breakdown before anything happens. That's the only way to explain this bullshit. I blame PMS.

Well, Prime's reception in Japan was... sub-par, to say the least.

Hey, Metroid Prime was pretty much Miyamoto's idea.

Also, need I remind you of Kirby's Epic Yarn?

lol no way

I'm sure everything will work out guys! The prime series didn't make sense anyway, it was already not a part of the timeline b/c samus never mentioned it in Super Metroid! Problem resolved. Also the GFeds developed seeker missiles and diffusion technology, they're both acquired through little rainbow balls dropped out of enemies developed by the feds, hence them sending her diffusion missiles (accidentally) in Fusion.
I think the question at stake here can't be answered in any way according to what took place in Other M. Toozin's right: we'll just have to wait for the next timeline wipe.

I think the more important thing to ask: After the GF screwed this up and bred metroids, why is she surprised in Fusion?

Was she really surprised in Fusion? Adam didn't seem to expect her to be.
