If this game is predominantly 2D, then that's fine.... but if I can only shoot in 8 directions it will go down on my list of wanted games. ---------- The lack of a reticule could be explained.... first, perhaps Nintendo took it out to quell speculation about it (or indeed encourage speculation) or it could just not have one, instead you rely on looking at Samus' cannon to see which direction you fire at.... She seems to be sufficiently large on the screen for this to be viable. |
Very good...yes, that would work.
Simply having eight directions wouldn't bother me, since it would feel like old school Metroid (well almost...true old school Metroid would only have three directions 
), but I would gladly accept more.
And I did think that it would be possible for Nintendo to pull out the reticule for the video...though that's a bit bit reaching and probably not very likely. I'm not saying they didn't do this, but considering we're making one leap here...the second is on shaky ground and doesn't help to support the first.
