Best be Metroid Prime 4. Someone has to revive that franchise after the godawful Other M.


They just got some really nice experience doing 2D gameplay.

I want a new 2D console Metroid game. This is where the series belongs.


I totally agree with you. However, me personally, what I want to see, is a FULLY 2D Metroid. Not merely a "2.5D" sidescroller that has graphics ala DKCR. I would much rather see gorgeous hand drawn sprites, in full HD, ala Super Metroid/Zero Mission. And in all honesty, I'd rahter see Nintendo themselves doing that, just as much as I'd rather see Nintendo themselves do other Wii U titles like Star Fox, Wave Race, etc. In my mind, they've more or less done the best entries in their own franchises (Super Metroid, F-Zero X, Star Fox 64, etc.), and even Miyamoto made a comment last year about wanting to see Nintendo handle more franchises themselves again.

 

Not against Retro doing another Metroid. In fact, even if they do announced a Prime 4, even though I would be somewhat disappointed, because I think it's fine leaving Prime as a self-contained trilogy, I'd still likely wind up being excited for it. But what I'd really love, the best of both worlds for me, would be for Nintendo themselves to do a new fully 2D Metroid game, and to have Retro FINALLY do their own original IP. I love their games, but I've been waiting seemingly forever to see what they could come up with on their own.
