stfu - MOM was a great game. Who the hell plays Metroid for the story anyways?
I want a new Metroid because Retro is so damn good at it. In reality, I'll be happy with almost anything they put out.

Gameplay wise, it's absolutely a great Metroid game. They really nail screw attack, speed run, and the morph ball puzzles. The story is so terrible, though, that the mention of the game gives me a bad reaction. I'd like to see the game removed from the canon, as it neuters what was once a strong female character. I don't play Metroid (or really any game for that matter) for its story, but when the story is so bad that it makes me cringe it can be a deal breaker.
I love the way Retro handled the story: Here's a deep mythology involving several races and several planets and our mighty heroine, Samus Aran. If you care enough about it, do your own research (within the game), otherwise we'll keep it limited to a few minor cutscenes. Sakamoto's involvement with the series brings up so many bad puns I won't bother to list, but let's just say I hope they keep him and his bag of wacky weed away from the next title.
