lol No. Just no.

I love Metroid (well, everything but Other M and Hunters), but it has NEVER been the kind of big seller to "solve all of Nintendo's problems".

I want a new, fully 2D, HD sprite based Metroid, Metroid 5 in fact. Nothing else.

But what is going to "save" the Wii U, is simply more games coming out, and better advertising. Both will be happening this fall.

a 2D? really? in a console? 2D Metroid's belongs to handheld now.

 

 

I'm sorry, but there is something seriously wrong with the attitdue a lot of modern gamers have that somehow 2D gaming "doesn't belong" as a full retail game. Or that if they are, they "should cost less" than a 3D game. A hell of a lot of 3D games are very light/shallow on content, and aren't worth the money they cost to buy. Whereas many modern 2D games are certainly worth full retail price. 2D gaming, if it's done WELL, should not be relegated to digital downloads and portable systems.

What I'm talking about, when I say I want Metroid 5, as a retail Wii U title, is this. Have you seen Muramasa: The Demon Blade? Or A Boy and His Blob? Or Wario Land: Shake It? Or the upcoming Dragon's Crown? What I'm talking about is along those lines, a fully 2D game, with HD, gorgeous hand-drawn sprites, a huge adventure with all the bells and whistles HD consoles have to offer, but with the old school (right) approach to Metroid, that of Super Metroid, Zero Mission, etc Preferably made IN-HOUSE, by Nintendo, by the same people who made Zero Mission at the very least.

Not only would that be worth every penny of full retail price, but a full blown 2D home console sequel to Super Metroid, I think, would absolutely outsell Other M or even the Prime games. Simply based on the hype/desire for that kind of Metroid again. IF it could live up to being called Metroid 5 (IE being better than the okay but not GREAT Metroid 4/Fusion), yes, I think it could be a big hit.
