| mortono said: I would like to see the series put back into the more capable hands of Retro studios. I would also like to see Sakamoto barred from any kind of involvement. Let him work on more Warioware games. They could use the Donkey Kong Country engine they've created to develop a true 2d Metroid game, one that emulates the gameplay of the original game. That means no awful cutscenes, no flashbacks with campy narration, and perhaps very little story (if any). The other thing I would want to see is new content. It seems as if every Metroid game has been set in the same boring environments. I would want new areas to explore. Perhaps the next game could be set in a futuristic supercity? I would like the next game to not have Samus as the hero. I would, in fact, find it interesting if the next game portrayed her as the villain, or perhaps the damsel in distress. I would want the main character to remain nameless and faceless until the end of the game, just like the original Metroid. The unveiling could be something surprising. The point of changing the main character would be to take the focus away from "Samus" and place it back on the gameplay and the fun of exploring a new world. They could call the game "Metroid Returns". It would be awesome. |
I think Nintendo's office would be burnt down to the ground would they do something like that...
The different areas is an interesting point though. I think it would be easy to do if you have lots of totally different locations to visit instead of having just one. Some kind of city could function as a hub. There's two concepts that I can think of right away.
Bear in mind that my ideas contain a decent bit of story.
1. A prequel. When you begin Samus has just obtained her suit and you pretty much follows her early years as a warrior. I think this could be a pretty cool game, Samus being a rebellious youth and all. However, I don't know how revisiting locations would work exactly.
2. A game set after Other M or Fusion. You have Samus temporary living on a distant planet where she works as a bodyguard or something like that. Here you could have missions take place in populated areas.
