[Opinion]I think people are overreacting over the whole Metroid Prime 4 NPC situation

[Leynos]

As someone who played the series since the 80s and watched it evolve. I am just going to repeat what I said in the other thread. Metroid has changed since the NES days. Every Prime game changed how the IP is and mechanics and a bunch of things. MP4 is no different. 

========================================================

"People online whine about yellow paint. I am not a fan myself but so many people are lost without it and are not terminally online like us. Not enthusiasts like us. This nerd character has yellow armor. He is literally yellow paint the character. He will be in the game for the length of a fart in the wind. Sure longtime Metroid fans like me don't need him. However this is the beginning of a new trilogy(?) Maybe. They want more than the typical 1.2 or whatever million sales of Prime. This game is aimed to cast a wider net. I'm okay with that. It seems the choice is either back to long droughts with no new Metroid game or some yellow paint with more frequent releases. Fire Emblem did the same thing with Awakening. They made it more accessible. After that the series went from barely getting releases in the west and knocking at deaths door to being a staple series. Metroid is not in dire shape like FE was before Awakening but Prime needs to grow.  "
