The reviews I've seen are thorough enough for me. The only downside for me is lack of multiplayer to extend the life of the game but I have Gears of War for that. I've only played it once in like the last 4 months. I suck at it. My roommates girlfriend could own me in that game. She plays Gears like 5 hours a day. No joke.

Metroid isn't a very multiplayer friendly series. It would be kind of like making The Legend of Zelda multiplayer.


Metroid would make a great Multiplayer with a bit of work. They proved it can be done on the DS and I am sure they will look at it in the future. So it is not unfamiliar territory for Metroid. If there is any game that allows Nintendo to ease into the multiplayer arena with an already established fanbase, it's Metroid. The setting in Metroid would also allow for some fantastic matches in very exotic alien locations.


I think you're forgetting that the DS version flopped hard, and was criticized by fans and critics alike.

Also, Retro said that they were taking a break from the Metroid series to work on other stuff. I'm hoping for Kid Icarus personally.


The DS version didn't do as well as Nintendo had hoped but the game was very well received by critics. Check the reviews. The problem is that the DS is not a great fps platform. People would rather trade Pokemons on it than play a fps. FPS are meant to be played at home for long stretches at a time. That said, I hope Metroid takes a break for a couple of years and comes back freshs.


It was NOT well recievedby critics at all, at least not as a Metroid game.   The common statement was "It's a great handheld FPS, and an abosultely horrible Metroid game."
