Frankly, I think Nintendo and Team Ninja are going to develop more creative ideas then I could ever come up with. So I'm not going to speculate. The only thing I am going to speculate about is that this partnership is going to produce one of, if not the most original Metroid games ever conceived and possibly something on the scale of Ocarina of Time for the Metroid series.
My one hope is that this game will actually play more like the 2D games than any type of 3D game. Yes, it looks to be a 3D game and frankly one of my favorite 3D games of all time was Ninja Gaiden by Team Ninja. However, I'd rather this partnership created a whole new unique engine that no one has ever seen before that can somehow reproduce 2D Metroid style gameplay on a 3D plane. Not just mimicking the look or design of it, but the actual feel, precision and controls of a 2D Metroid game in a 3D environment. I've actually been dreaming of that ever since the N64 and I have a hunch Sakamoto, the developer of Metroid, has as well. And I'm hoping this game will accomplish that goal.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
