Nintendo confirm their 2007 offerings

I hope Metroid prime goes in a radically different direction from MP and MP2. I liked the first Metroid, however by the second game I just felt that it wasn't as good an adventure game as Zelda and not as good a shooter as say Halo. Too many of the enemies were simply unintelligent life forms that just walk around radomly. That is fine for the overworld where you want to explore, and it gives you the sense that you are part of a true ecosystem. I think the game needs a massive increase in enemy AI and more fortresses that are heavily defended. More of the same will see the game released with a yawn and mediocre sales. I have high expectations for Mario Galaxy and I hope they delay the game until it is absolutely perfect. There hasn't been a truly great platformer since Banjo Kazooie.
