We don't know who's working on Prime 4 yet so while they focus on that Sakamoto and his team for hire (Nintendo doesn't like to develop Metroid games in house anymore sadly) can focus on Metroid 5 just like they did with Fusion and Prime and Federation Force and Samus Returns.
| Darwinianevolution said: I would love some 2D HD sprites. 3D graphics on 2D Metroid is just jarring to me, and I'm not sure why. Maye it's because I love Fusion's artsyle so much (haven't played yet, but it looks beautiful). Where's the GBA-DS sprites nowadays? Megaman Zero, Astroboy GBA, The Minish Cup, TWEWY, Megaman ZX, the DS Castlevanias... |
Fusion is one of the best Metroid games i've played and i still like Zero Mission and Super but honestly i feel like it's time to move on from 2D.
2.5D or 3D is the way to go for Metroid.
| mZuzek said: Good to see someone else hyping this game, it deserves more attention. |
I haven't 100% the game yet but i think i know what you're talking about, i think Game Informer did a video about that image and about the next Metroid game.
| Mar1217 said: 2) I'm expecting a remake of Super Metroid, if there ever was to be a new 2D Metroid game to be honest. |
Please no that would be a huge waste, not to mention the Metroid series has already 2 official remakes and 3 if you consider Super Metroid to be a reimagine of Metroid. The Metroid series needs to move on it needs Metroid 5.
| mZuzek said: Nah, Samus Returns looks beautiful in 3D, the depth it adds to the world is awesome. Sure without the 3D effect on something like the Switch I guess it wouldn't have the same impact, but they could make up for that with much (MUCH) better HD visuals. |
I agree, i'm glad they chose to go with the 3DS since it fits perfectly, though i would have liked Samus' model to have looked better but everything else looks nice and the gameplay is what really matters.
| Puppyroach said: Imo Metroid should stay as a 2D game, it works best in 2D and all secrets and tricks you can do are at their beat when you only have to focus on moving in four directions. |
2D Metroid is great but i feel that 2.5D can open up much more possibilities for the series.
| d21lewis said: I wish it was on the Switch. My only gripe. |
I hope we'll get Metroid 5 for Switch.

| Luke888 said: Finished today, definitely up there amongst the best Metroid games alongside Zero Mission and Super. If they didn't have to make this a remake of Metroid II I'd argue it'd probably be the best 2D Metroid game of all time since the repetitivity of the bosses was forced by the original and Samus Returns does its best to add up to that to give more variety. I'm really looking forward to Metroid 5 since they even hinted at it in the photo gallery... |
Agreed, Metroid 2 was already a flawed game in that regard it's also the most linear but with this remake they managed to fix most of it's problems and made it more challenging it's really fun i never got bored while playing.

~Says the guy who hasn't played the 2.5D game. (Yes, assumption levels off the charts here I know. But it seems to be the case and it's likely as seemingly most people here haven't played it... and no, you can't judge atmosphere just by watching a game, that's ridiculous.) |
Again i agree, i understand that some people prefer 2D sprites over 3D models but the atmosphere? C'mon...
| MTZehvor said: I'd say the answer should largely depend on what exactly they want to do with the game, because both the Prime games and the 2D titles are better at different things. If it's going to focus on the teaser image that you get after 100%ing the game, however, I think I'd lean towards a first person Prime title. Prime's emphasis on atmosphere from a first person perspective and the ability to scan lore would both be very useful for a game that would probably be extremely atmospheric and focus heavily on background knowledge. |
I don't think it's going to be first person and honestly i think it shouldn't.
Prime games are the 3D line Metroid games by Miyamoto and Tanabe.
2D/2.5D line of Metroid games by Sakamoto.
| AngryLittleAlchemist said: All these people saying they're more excited for Metroid 5 or that they think Metroid should only be in 2D make me sad. I have only played Prime 1, but I can honestly not imagine Metroid games being better than the Prime series. I even played a bit of Super Metroid and found it very meh in the first few hours |
Well if it weren't for Super Metroid we wouldn't have gotten Metroid Prime in the first place, on top of that i don't think Metroid as a series would even be remembered without Super Metroid.
| mZuzek said: My first Metroid games were Super and Prime and at first I thought they were both meh, because that's what Metroid games are like - they take a while to get good and they have a heavy atmosphere that is hard to get into. |
Once again i agree, i really couldn't get into Super Metroid the first time playing i didn't understand what people saw in this game but then after many tries and finally digging it's gameplay it really grew on me and made me appreciate other 'Metroidvania' games like Symphony, Steamworld Dig, Metroid Prime all of them great but none as good as Super.
| Volterra_90 said: I think both 3D and 2D Metroids has its cons and pros. Tbh, I think that both can and should coexist, and that's the same way I feel about franchises like Zelda. I hope that Nintendo can bring us Metroid 5, and not just bring us Metroid Prime 4. I must say that I'm definitely more hyped about a new 2D Metroid than a new Prime, because it's been a long time since we didn't have a pretty good 2D Metroid. About Samus Returns, I haven't had the opportunity to play the game (sadly, I sold my 3DS a while ago, and I still regret that choice, but it's late now |
). But I heard that there are teleportation rooms in the game? I mean, that doesn't make the game feel more linear? It's what kept me worried about it. I mean, Metroid games is about backtracking and find new paths with your new adquired power-ups. Also, how does the 3D feels in this game? I'm about to buy it with a friend who still has the 3DS, and we're definitely thinking about it.Agreed, Metroid should have it's 3D and 2D line of games.
You really need to play Samus Returns i sure love it, and no the transportation don't make it more linear it only makes it more convinient and less boring for you to fast travel, there are lots of teleport stations and it cuts down on backtracking BUT you're never forced to use them which is what makes this game so great it lets you choose to use teleport and optional abilities and the purists act like these things are being shoved down their throats just by seeing them.
