Anybody else has seen that? Apparently Next level Game has also a WiiU game in development as well.

I feel kinda bad for the guys. The game looks like it could be fun. Unlike Animal crossing amiibo festival that simply looks absolutely terrible with no minigames or whatsoever that could make the gameplay fun, there seems to have a bit of overreaction with this one. I think the whole artstyle and graphics would need to be improved to feel more metroid like and less nintendoland's attraction like. But if you consider that this game might be a side project, then the blame go even more on Nintendo for how they handle metroid as a franchise and not on the team developing it or the director. It is just an action game set in the metroid universe after all...

I'm much more worried by not having heard anything from retro Studio in more than 2 years and Nintendo's overall lack of efficiency than by the existence of this game actually.

Bayonetta 2? Pikmin 3? Super Mario 3D World? Splatoon? Xenoblade Chronicles X? Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze? Fatal Frame? All of these seem in line with the typical Nintendo budget, regardless of whether or not they'd help the Wii U's situation. Metroid was a declining series that needed a break after the last game was pretty average. It makes sense that Nintendo took that break to allow other skipped series during the Wii era, like Starfox and Pikmin to have a place in this generation. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a Metroid game, but if the game turned out like Other M then fans wouldn't be happy. Sometimes a series needs to take a break. I'm confident that Metroid will return eventually. The only surprising thing about the Wii U was how long it has taken for an LoZ game to release. 

The N64 didn't have a Metroid game. What does that say of precedent? 

No offense, but most people who use cel-shading in a sentence like you did just now have no idea what the term means. The game isn't cel-chaded at all. Wind Waker used cel-shading. The Naruto fighting games use cel-shading. Jet Set Radio used cel-shading.

Nothing in MP:FF is cel-shaded. Not even a little. Cel-shading is a lighting technique use to created flat colored textures. As in, little to no gradient. Textures are solid blocks of color in cel shading, and the shade of those blocks are determined by the lighting value given by the light source.

None of that is in this game. Cel-shading doesn't mean "cute" or "chibi" or "simple." It's a coloring technique.

That is cel-shading.

That is not.

It really annoys me how this game is getting so much flak, people have been asking for a game that let's u play as the Galactic Federation for years now and we finally get one and its the end of the world.

What lighting gradient do you see in this game? It is by default cel-shading because of the low-quality of the shading itself. Look at the "fur?" on the enemies leg in the picture you posted. It is flat, no gradient at all. Now compare that with a Hunters picture. 

^ Noice the ends of his "spikes" are lighted continously more than the portion closer to his body. 

Now let's compare character models and environment. 

The snow has a uniform lighting value, no variation at all. The characters have uniform lighting as well (the dark and light patterns are the color of the textures, not from some light source.) 

Looking at hunters look at the green beam of the character it has a gradient shade. Look at samus' it also has a gradient shade. 

^ This is obviously not a single gradient, it has three different very limited gradients. The yellow, the medium orange, and the dark orange. All of which are so distinct from eachother that you can almost draw shapes. 

I agree, people wanted more from the setting, complaining that Nintendo does try to get more of the traditional shooter crowd and now that they are getting it, they are crying because of the graphics and it not playing like the main games. Can we give the game a shot before blasting it as not a true Metriod game?

If the internet was around and populated when Metriod 2 came out, I wonder if we would have even gotten Super Metriod.

I agree, hopefully this is a rough early build, because we have seen better models in games like Kid Icarus: Uprising and even certain eShop games.

The wii U does not have alot of games that the N64 had-  Giving the series a break had zero to do w it-  it was about money and not believing in thier own cosnole-  Why would the next Metrod game be like Other M?  Are you saying if they had developed a Metroid game for the Wii U it wold have been like Other M but if they do so on the NX it will be a great Metroid game?  

There have been so many droughts on the Wii u,  there have been some good games but few and FAR between-  If you don t love platformers tehn the Wi u did not come close to offering a deep or diverse library- some of the game you  mentioned STILL have not released in NA  and when it coomes to Nintendo, if the game is not released yet then there is no guarantee when or if it will ever show up

Low quality textures isn't cel-shading. The fact that you used the fur texture on the picture I posted as an example of cel-shading proves you don't understand what it is at all. That isn't cel shading. If it was cel-shading, it wouldn't look like fur, it would look like a flat gray-white color. What you're talking about are bad textures.

The snow does have gradience. It's not cel-shaded at all. None of what you bring up in that post is an example of cel-shading. I don't get how you still don't understand when I literally posted three pictures with clear examples of cel-shading. You say that the light and dark patterns are the textures. That doesn't happen in cel-shading because textures in cel-shading are single, flat colors. That's the whole point of cel-shading. If this game was cel-shaded, it would look nothing like that.
