Nintendo knows what it's doing, in almost every aspect. Nintendo wanted a certain style fir the new Metroid, the Ninja Gaiden style, so they called team ninja and started talking. Nintendo was satisfied, and I probably will be too. |
Actually a more accurate description would be a 2D Side Scrolling Action-Adventure, to a FIrst Person Action Adventure, to a 2.5d/3d Third Person Action Adventure. The term 'shooter' describes a linear Action Game with shooting as the focused game play. Examples are contra for 2d, and halo for 3d. Metroids gameplay foucuses on adventuring, and weapon upgrades along with puzzles similar to Zelda. That is what defines it's genre. The perspective doesn't determine a genre.
