Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Metroid Will we have it on Wii U

I'm throwing this out to see what kind of feedback it gets:

my ideal Samus is basically Batman (a loner, high-tech detective/warrior with nothing to lose...)

I think the first person in-cockpit parts of Prime 3 proved it could work. Imagine exploring the hull of a huge space-cruiser with your ship's flashlights shining on it in the darkness of space to look for clues, etc..
Or imagine navigating an underwater ravine on an alien planet before finding a proper place on the bottom to dock your ship and go out exploring.

I honestly believe the ship could be further used to introduce a new mode of play, in addition to the regular and morph-ball ones.

Besides, Starfox is more arcadey and twitchy than that...

And seeing as Metroid already has FPS elements, third person adventure elements, Morph-ball puzzles, combat, platforming, navigation puzzles,  utility upgrades and scanning, I'd say purity has never been the name of this game.

Purity in the sense of what Metroid is. Having to fly your spaceship would only slow the game down and those parts would most certainly be the worst ones of the game. What Metroid needs right now is not a new mode of play, but the old way of play returning. Other M barely resembled what Metroid actually is.

I've read many discussions on this topic in these forums, and the only game any group of people could ever agree was faithful to the definition of 'Metroid', was Super Metroid, with all other games in the series being debated among fans - to me that feels like "changing things up" is a big part of the essence of Metroid.

So rather than say "make another game like super metroid", why don't you tell me what metroid is to you, in terms of the broad experience. Please don't assume ideas or mechanics are not well executed, for the sake of this argument.

Just don't force me to aim with an analog and to watch boring cutscenes, that is all I want.

If they make a new metroid, can it please take place after Fusion? If Fusion writers cramped Metroid that badly where they have no idea how continue scracth it off the list and put something in its place. The Prequels and inter quels are killing me.


Actually that would make sense... Metroid the other M, makes a lot of sense if you played fusion, so a sequel to fusion could be a good idea...

 

 While I loved the prime series, I would like another other m kind of game, the screen on the controller would make the interface a lot better and the same screen could work as the visors or for 1st person view... The VA was not the best, but it was not bad at all...

I hope we get a game like Other M, but that comes after Fusion. Imagine Other M gameplay with Super Metroid artstyle on a planet like Zebes or Tallon IV...

Definitely yes, I also want Retro Studios making the game(s) and no one else.

Perfect. That is exactly what i would want too



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

i dont play much metroid but other M was dope. so an upgrade to that would be cool.



WiseOwl on 09 July 2011

Oh I am sure of that and I can't wait. But I know I will be waiting for a good while and might die before it's on store shelves.

answer to thread: is water wet? Of course we're gonna have a new one, though whether it comes out on the 3DS or the Wii U first is the big question. It'll probably be the official sequel to Fusion and be made by TN again or possibly by someone new Nintendo give a chance (Retro will probably just do something new because I doubt they want to be locked to the Prime series; and for good reasons). You won't see a reboot, that won't be needed until, inevitably, Samus' journey ends due to her universe being in a VERY set timeline unlike Mario or Zelda. You could do some cool things with the Wii U controller, though I can't think of anything off the top of my head except a first-person/scanning mode on the screen.
