I'm a huge Platinum Games fan, but unless Metroid is going to turn into an over-the-top shooter like Vanquish, I'm not seeing how this is true. |
You forget before they became Platinum they were responsible for Okami, which while it has its action is closer to a Zelda game then your typical DMC entry.
That being said, I have a hard time seeing them do it as well. Not that I don't think Nintendo would be that down on handing the franchise to them for a test run. Metriod is such a non factor outside of Smash Bros and Samus outside of her armor in Japan, they thought the arse backwards story on Other M was a good idea, it wouldn't be too shocking for them to hand it over to another developer with a different play style then what we had before in mind. But despite the fact that they would no doubt given time and funds make a really good game, I think they probably wouldn't want to be hand tied by the mythology and its current caretaker.
