makes sense...so it's kinda like a story right?
Well yeah... the Prime comes in cause it takes place between the two prime games we've already seen, and so does have some connection because it tells us what Metroid world is affected by Samus's mission here... which is the Prime world. I'm still of the belief that there will not come a time in the [near] future where the two Metroid worlds, the Prime one and the original one beyond Metroid 1, ever come together. Metroids 2-4 didn't mention anything about Tallon IV or Aether, while this game mentions both and nothing else. The foci are too different, it just doesn't work. However, because they do stem from the original Metroid, and have the same character, there's no reason for them not to keep the name on there. That added to the fact that this game is clearly of the same genre as the first two prime games, I'm completely comfortable with calling this a Metroid. They really can do whatever they want with the Metroid series and still call it Metroid and I'd be alright with it, as long as it's still fun. I don't care what genre.
Unless it's pinball or something lame like that. >_>
