They should be making their own games. Making another Metroid is just as much a "waste of time." That's the point of the thread. |
I wouldn't say that. Metroid has always had makings of something that could he a huge system seller. That possibility only truly came to fruition with the Western AAA game shift we saw last gen with emphasis on maturity, FPS, Sci-fi etc, but Metroid has never been in a position to take advantage of that because of platform. The same way COD and Golden Eye fell flat on the wii, Metroid was never going to truly come into its own on a sub HD, dated system with such a family orientated image.
A Metroid Origin game, with slightly more dynamic action but the same focus on mood and exploration could do really well and entice a lot of the same people who look towards games like Fallout, MassEffect, Bioshock etc
Metroid Prime 1 (GC): 2.81
Call of Duty 2 (PS2): 2.89
Take into account the vast difference in userbase and I think you get why I'm making the comparison. Not saying Metroid can become COD lol, but it could be a lot bigger then what is if its reintroduced on a new platform, the same way COD: Modernware reintroduced COD.
I think Retro should expand and tackle new mature IP, but they should definitely also tackle Metroid on a new platform.
