I'm hoping for solid game play of course, it's always the most important part in games. and man this thread is old.

Honestly I'm not expecting something like a Super Metroid...it was a slow but very immersive game, very explorative with an eleborated level design. Whit this one, considering the early videos, and also considering Team Ninja, I'm excpecting a more direct yet rewarding arcade-like action with a good re-play value given by harder, very challanging, difficulty settings.

Tits.

No, seriously, what i've seen so far has matched my hopes, at least in the gameplay department. The only thing i would like confirmation of is more exploration. I would also like to see a complex network of elevators like they had in Super Metroid or Metroid Prime, not the blatant overworlding that was done in Fusion and Prime 2.

I remember those elevators, but they weren't really used for discovery purposes. You always got to the world through one elevator. The others were only really useful for if you wanted to go directly to another world and bypass the Temple Grounds. You didn't really *need* those elevators.

For it to be a fun game.

Ewwwwwwwwww. I rather like having to engage story, myself.

Mario Karts.

20-30million seller incoming? =0

I'll bet you there will be a Mario Kart hidden under some rock that no one would ever think of looking under.

That it still have the exact same sound, when you find missile or armor or a tank upgrade, that it ahd in Metroid or Super Metroid
