Nintendo is always looking at a new twist with their games. As a search action game, they need to different things with exploration. The first Prime had the first person perspective as a novelty, Prime2 had the light/dark world and Prime3 multiple planets. So they did this already, so something new needs to happen. Time travel makes sense for me to have progression puzzles using the 2 time lines. Similar to Prime2's two dimensions. Tallon4? Because Samus goes back to previous visited planets all the time (and blows them up). Essentially in a past time you could find the Chozo ruins, when they were not ruins yet and could meet chozo. I think Metroid likes to do call backs to previous games to keep the overall story focussed. (No, I don't have an uncle working at Nintendo, so yes this is speculation) |
Yeah !
And at the end Stylux, in the final battle that happens in the past timeline, ends up transforming into a weird purple terodactyl because of weird Chozo magic.
Thus Ridley is born and his eternal hatred for Samus.
