| Demotruk said: A Samus-free Metroid has it's benefits, but to be honest I'd prefer if they just waited a few years then make a Metroid Prime game or a 2D Metroid game with pointer aiming, which ignores the existence of Other M. Perhaps blatant ret-conning is a bit unfair to those who enjoyed Other M, as much as I'd love to see it happen but it should certainly find a way that Other M has no implications upon the new game.
If Metroid Prime does return they need to think hard about how to do it, don't simply make it even more like a first person shooter, find a way to expand upon what is there without dropping the main Metroid values. |
Given Other M's positioning, retconning is unnecessary. If they do a sequel to Fusion, well there's that. If they decide to cram more in where Prime nominally was (the gap between Metroid and Return of Samus), there's that. Only if Other M received a direct sequel would they have to deal with it's existence in the timeline at all (much like the controversy of Other M "ignoring" Prime, whereas the existence of Prime was irrelevant to the plot lines following it, relying merely upon the fall of zebes in the original Metroid)
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
