Metroid Fusion

I didn't know that, since I haven't played Fusions. And I didn't expect it because I thought they dropped the numerical titles after the second one. (At least I don't remember a Metroid 3 showing in Super Metroid) |
if you watch the opening cinematic you'll see that it says "Nintendo presents Metroid 3" and then the Super Metroid Logo appears.
And Metroid Other M doesn't count probably mainly because it isn't a 2d Metroid. Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion are all 2D games.
I want Paper games for every Nintendo IP. And I want them in the same universe. The charm. The humor. The dialogue. All of it. Now.
@Hiku...I think using Super before everything was all the rage back then and it just made marketing sense. I actually think using the 3 here was to support the prologue they used as well as to give a shout out to Metroid 2 which many Metroid fans probably didn't know existed at the time. I know I didn't. I was never a Gameboy owner and I had no idea until I saw that intro.

So, Metroid 1 and 2 are the best, Super and Prime suck. The Metroid series should be taking notes from Super Mario Galaxy and Undertale. ...Wow. Your taste isn't bad. It's legendary. |
I never said either game sucked. I said I hadn't played Super Metroid - I don't really have an opinion on it.
I disliked Metroid Prime (I don't care about its objective quality), and gave the reasons why I didn't enjoy it. Super Mario Galaxy's feeling of isolation with pockets of amazement are what I want from a Metroid game; I got a similar feeling from Undertale and Hollow Knight - and I enjoyed all three games tremendously (and I loved Undertale in spite of hating its battle system...). To be fair, I disliked Metroid Prime 3 more from the short time I played it, but didn't give it enough of a go to really form a solid opinion.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Interesting, because I believe Other M was 4 and Fusion 5 due to the story.
Edited.

Metroid 5.
I just really want the series to move forward storyline wise, we been stuck there since Fusion. Either follow up from there with the Galactic Federation or the added ending lore to Samus Returns. I just really want a Metroid 5 screen.
Also Other M is just 3.5 if we have to accept it exists, because really on top of it being a bad game for Metroid standards, is also a game that tries to answer a bunch of questions that didn't need answers (on top of the answers being terrible like Adam's death being the most stupid thing in the world) and just recycling a lot of story elements that would be presented in Fusion, can't be arsed to be an original game and then badly execute great moments from Fusion.
I'm definitely most excited for Prime 4 at this point, but Metroid 5 would be interesting too. I'm not sure where they'd take the story at this point, though. Instead of an Other M sequel, I'd personally actually really like a game that retconned Other M out of existence and tied the Prime series into the canon more explicitly. I have a feeling that Prime Trilogy is coming to Switch, and will almost certainly get it. A Super Metroid remake might be interesting, and I kind of imagine it being done by Retro, with environmental design inspired by Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Hear me out. I don't mean in that precise art style, but rather a more realistic, sci-fi version to fit the Metroid series' tone. I mostly just think that the environments in Tropical Freeze felt really alive and vibrant, and felt like they added so much depth to a 2D world. Now obviously those levels were linear, while Metroid is much more open, but I'd like to see Retro apply what they learned making the environments in DKC:TF to a more open game with a sci-fi setting. Obviously removing the more cartoonish aspects. Metroid Samus Returns I don't personally want on Switch, but I think it'd be smart of Nintendo to do that just because the game deserves to be seen by more people.
As for the more...creative choices in that poll, I'm not gonna lie, I'd play all of them. The one I definitely would want to see the most is Metroid Maker, because you already see people making Metroidvania levels in Mario Maker and I want a full fledged Metroid Maker game designed just around making Metroid levels. I feel like there's a coherent design philosophy around what makes a good Metroid level that series like Zelda don't have that would make Metroid actually much better suited to be the next series to get a "Maker" game than Zelda, or even Kirby or Donkey Kong. It would have a really unique flavor since it's truly a new sub-genre of platformer compared to Mario, where as Donkey Kong and Kirby are just a harder and easier variation, respectively, on the same gameplay of Mario. Zelda is a little too complex to make a maker of in the same style as Mario Maker and would need to work more like RPG Maker. Metroid on the other hand lends itself nicely to Mario Maker's style of fan creation engine while offering a distinct flavor to the gameplay.
Well judging from our very meager sample size here it looks like Nintendo may have been smarter to greenlight A Metroid Fusion or numerical continuation of the 2D Metroid series than have another go at the Prime universe. Very interesting since much of the same sample size prefers Metroid Prime to the 2D Super Metroid. Perhaps we just need a few more votes to see how this whole thing shakes out. I'm also certain that many, many of us have a lot of fear about what MP4 will look like and play like, and rightly so.
At any rate, keep those votes coming.
So I played some Federation Force again. And I have to say it is indeed a good game, guys. Playing this online with some other people truly is a very good experience and a lot of fun, I can't say this often enough. It just does nothing for the franchise, admittedly, but that's the only major flaw I can see. Anybody else like that game?
