What is the "inherent " proof of a game's goodness?  High score on metacritic?  That can be bought, we have proof from Gamespot's Kane & Lynch fiasco.

Well. You have personal taste and opinion.

But I think if you have a good video game reviewer that you trust, then they are probably the best outlet.

As for Rare, I have a soft spot for the company, but I admit they've lost it a bit.  The new piratey game looks kind of interesting, tho.

Your sentiment mimics my own.
They aren't as amazeballs as they used to be... But their more recent titles like Viva Pinata, Nuts and Bolts had me hooked for awhile there.

recent titles that were released like 10 years ago and have become irrelevant ever since a few years after release.

Nuts and Bolts was received with huge dissapointment by BK fans and Viva Piñata was a fun casual game yet nothing really happened with it other than a few sequels which didnt have the same impact and a tv series which died off quick Kameo Elements of Power is another game that had potential yet nothing happened with it and Perfect Dark Zero released and was never heard of again.

The only reasons Rare is still alive is because of Kinect, Kinect Sports and nostalgia > Rare Replay.

I wanna keep up with the discussion, but you guys are so LONG.

Don't worry about it, this discussion is barely even about Metroid anymore instead about other games that are somehow relevant to Samus Returns or Metroid 5.
