this is why i say there will never be another good metroid game. nintendo doesn't understand that "good" = prime and super's formula. the more they get away from that, the shittier the games will be ... and all they've done for the past 13 years is get more and more away from that formula.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

To be fair to Nintendo, they never promised us a new 2d and/or 3d Metroid. The internet took a quote out of context and blew it up. All they originally said is they were aware of the demand for both a 2d and 3d Metroid and were considering their options on where to go with it.

That lengthy Kotaku interview is actually pretty interesting.

I never bothered with Hunters, so I don't know about that comparison... but I'm sure the game won't be terrible. It's just disappointing that they're gradually moving away from the isolation and exploration that make Metroid so special.

And in my case personally, it's hard to justify buying what seems to be a mostly online game because my internet sucks.

We talked about the timeline. The game takes place, as the other Primes did, between Metroid II and Super Metroid, in a sort of sideways expansion of the Prime trilogy’s era.

Well there we go, I guess we can move it somewhere into the timeline on the board index now. lol

It's a kind of interesting interview but I'm disappointed that Tanabe seems to be dodging all the questions I really wanted to hear the answers to.

What? That's not when the other Primes took place. They were between 1 and 2.

Yeah I think Tanabe mixed it up maybe. I think the main takeaway is it takes place around the same time as the other Prime games.

Totilo said in the comments that he just went with what Tanabe told him, so it's not really his fault that it was wrong, lol.

Basically that. There's a lot more people that are angrier than they should be just because they took a quote from miyamoto and completely misinterpreted it. Miyamoto saying they're interested in creating a 2d and 3d metroid was then interpreted as "we have a 2d and a 3d metroid in the works" which then spread like wildfire... I've lost count of how often i've had to correct people about that <_<

Also I feel like I'm one of very few people in this thread that actually like fusion/mzm over super, and echoes over prime 1 <_< (not that i dislike super, love that game too)

You know like it or not this is the most people have talked about Metroid in years. Looks like Nintendo actually nailed it. aiwebs_008

No such thing as bad publicity!

Anyone else wondering if Nintendo took the wrong lesson from Wind Waker? "Hmm... so outraging fans with a cutesy E3 trailer leads to success..."

Nah, if Nintendo had learned anything from WW all Zelda's from that point on would have been awesome.

It's a decent game, but it's over-simplified and has almost no replay value. The highlight of the game for me was a feeling of happiness I got from riding Epona and from using a wiimote for the first time, both of which wore off fast.

Oh, by the way.

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER HERO! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE!

Seriously though, there are cycles to these things. We'll get another great solitary-exploration game, just maybe not from any team that's already made one. You want to do something different after that, as the (ahem) corruption of the Prime series shows.

(Don't sweat over agreeing with Hitler, Tooz. He's changed.)

my umbrella goes directly to Bankai

Parax also ran Sonic 06 and he's fine

he clearly has some kind of superhuman anti-corruption power inside him.
