The Importance of Metroid to Nintendo - The whether you like it or not thre

[BenKenobi88]

An interesting read from the original Metroid Prime's wikipedia article:
"The game was first announced at 2001 E3 and was revealed shortly after to be played from a first-person perspective. Following the announcement and subsequent release of first screenshots, the nature of the game aroused the ire of fans who perceived it as a disgraceful transition into 3D.[2] In addition, due to frequent layoffs and corporate reorganization at Retro Studios during development, the game was often feverishly considered a debacle throughout gaming related message boards, publications, and magazines until near the point of retail release when various publications claimed it as one of the greatest video games of all time.[3] It was also a commercial success, selling over 1 million units in North America alone.

I dunno...I just found it interesting that so many people ridiculed the game, though it was because of its 3D nature I'm sure...but the end product was a beautiful masterpiece...and I'm hoping for the same experience again.
A lot of people push MP3 around for its crappy screenshots...but if it controls well, and looks good for a Wii game, I can see this game being amazing.

Sorry, a bit off-topic.
