Do you think Kid Icarus should be Metroid Prime?

Kid Icarus would play almost exactly like Metroid Prime, except:

- All sci-fi guns and electric machines replaced by bows/other medieval weaponry and steampunk machines. However, most of the key gameplay elements would be copied, just with a Kid Icarus twist (Missile Expansion -> Arrow Expansion*)

*Don't get worked up about this. I'm giving an example, not saying that exact concept would be used

- Third-person view. The character's appearance is more important than in Metroid. - Agreed. It'll most definitely be a third person view game.

- Slightly more platforming than shooting. Still an action-focused game, but more of the Metroid Prime style puzzles. - Also agreed, it will most likely involve lots of platforming.

- More cartoony art style. Not Wind Waker, but not Halo either. - I'm inclined to disagree. While it might be quite stylistic, It will most likely be a darker and more realistic looking game.

What would not change from Metroid Prime, but would change from the NES Kid Icarus:

- Non-linear, sprawling world - Yes.

- Focus on item collection like Missile Expansions and Energy Tanks. Chain of main powerups that unlock the next, like all Metroid games.  - So you want Metroid Prime 4: Icarus...

-Series of large rooms separated by small passageways (for loading purposes). This would eliminate load times. - Definetely not. I think we can all agree it won't be like that.

- Big, big bosses that are hard. The times between bosses are relatively easy like Prime. - you think they'd decide to make easy bosses?

Just NO:

- No darker, adult themes. This is a Nintendo game, not a Metal Gear Solid. The days of the "realistic", "gritty" and "cinematic" game are over. The story will be as simple as Metroid Prime or the original Kid Icarus. - This statement is silly

- Pit must not be an adult - I do believe he became an adult at the end of the game. Also, why not?

What do you think?

 

So basically you're shooting for a more cartoony styled Metroid Prime.

 

I don't think that's what we're getting. It will share elements of course, but I have a feeling this game will stand out from the crowd with it's gameplay and presentation.
