So, the cutscenes are unskippable according to the latest information. You MUST listen to Samus go on about her feelings and her relationships, either that or leave the TV on mute and go make a sandwich or something.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Your movement is not restricted to a certain plane, no.

I must say, I never played the original Metroid games (going to get them on VC prior to M:OM) and never cared for the Prime series despite owning Prime and Prime 3.  Neither my son nor I could ever get into them.   But M:oM really has me excited.   I love the quick, fast arcade 2d Metroid style mixed with FPS elements and the cinematic story.  

I'm a more casual player, and I find this, to me, looks to be a very fun and accessible game to play.    I could see this appealing to a lot of people outside of Metroid fans, if they know of it and if they actually get their hands on it to see how fun and accessible it is.

So you are tellin me that u and ur people prefer playin Smash,NSMBW,Monster Hunter,Punch Out wii, Metal slugs or Tasunoko vs Capcom with a Nunchuck, cuz I know alot of gamers with Wiis and none of them uses the Nunchuck unless they got no other choice.

I could even put MKWii,I myself use the GC controller but I know alot people that prefer the wiimote only but nobody uses the Nunchuck combo again.

Lol.  Nice cherry picked examples.  But yes, my friends and I play Brawl with the Remote and Nunchuck combination.  I also know quite a few people who play MK Wii that way, although I use the Wii Wheel myself.  Metal Slug Anthology's alternate control methods all suck.  None of them control the way you would expect, making the Remote the only viable control method.  I've never played Monster Hunter, but I know there are plenty of people on this website who play it with the Remote and Nunchuck.  I have little or no experience with Punch Out and Tasunoko vs Capcom.

But why did you list those games?  Going through my own library, there are a ton of games that control very well with the Nunchuck.  Twilight Princess, Galaxy 1 and 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Brawl, MK Wii, de Blob, The Munchables, Madworld, No More Heroes, Okami, Ghostbusters, and Resident Evil 4.

Back on topic:

Can anyone answer my question?  I thought your movement in this game was restricted along a certain plane, which would mean a d-pad would work just fine for this.  Is your movement more free than that?

I picked those as example bcuz u get other control options,most of the other game u listed have no other options but to play with the Nunchuck.

To me when a games like Prime or RE4 uses the wiimote controls so great that it changes the way to play from a GC controller thats great but besides for the mini games galaxy would've been perfect with very a the GC for me.

But its alright, I just wanted to show you that for many people the Nunchuck is a issue and want Ninty to support more the classic pro but for others it doesnt matter. I saw on ur profile that u played alot of PC games,I realized that alot of PC players get used to the Wii controls very fast.

Now to answer ur question

no when you are in a side scroller view u can still move freely unlike SMG2,for the better or the worse

Hey Gamerace u should start with Metroid fusion on gba it might feels more like this game, Super Metroid is less fast pace with alot of exploration I wouldnt recommend it to someone who has never played a Metroid.

The perfect order for u would be : Metroid Fusion (GBA) then Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) then Super Metroid (Snes)

the GBA games might be hard to find so I suggest u to try em on a emu

It doesn't matter whether you like it or not.  The market, as a whole, gets to cast judgment on products.  Sometimes you will agree, sometimes you won't.  That's life.

What does "cast judgment on products" even mean? Judge what about them? Certainly not their quality.
