“Oh, so earlier today I got asked about Mother 3; maybe you can ask me about Metroid. Look, again, I am proud as an executive with Nintendo to say that we look at all of the boards and all of the comments and we really have a good understanding of what our consumers want. And believe me, we take that to heart as we work to create content. So I have nothing to announce–here. But we are aware that there are some key IP that consumers just can’t wait for the next true installment in that franchise’s legacy. Suffice it to say, we’re aware of it, and talk to me in a year and let’s look back and see what’s happened.”

         Great, now I can't wait for E3 to be here. Thanks, Reggie!

They just need to make a good Metroid game, and we'll eat it all up. Make mediocre games like Other M and Federation Force and the sales will decline. Make great Metroid games like Super Metroid and Metroid Prime, and we'll sacrifice puppies to play it.

I'd have pre-ordered a Switch if they announced a new Metroid. I hope they have some good stuff in store...

Metroid needs to go darker and embrace the M rating. I loved Prime as a pre-teen and a teenage but honestly... it hardly does well with the younger generation. They want Halo. Metroid is a far more complex and more mature themed game than Halo is and Metroid needs to embrace that.

It's great as it is but it's influenced by some pretty hardcore R rated shit like Aliens. All the gore on the visor and stuff, the violence game off more realistic than the cartoony looking blood in Halo way back when. I remember when people wanted Prime 4 to take on a horror feel to it.


Basically I want it to be an FPS again. It feels too natural and Metroid needs to stick with the exploration vibe with heavy action sequences and unique boss fights. Oh and if the VR rumor is true, lets play a bit with that. I'm sure most guys have no problem being Samus xD I mean lets be real. She's probably more Alpha as fuck than they are.

yep. All Switch

You should talk to that wyrd guy. He will tell you that you are daft and that Metroid is niche and that no one wants Metroid.

After seeing them try to resurrect the Wii I don't think I'll be looking forward to Metroid Switch. Prime was awesome and Echoes was good. But when they went all motion controls I lost interest in the Prime series.

I agree that Corruption was my least favorite of the series though it was a great game. But not because of motion controls. But because of the lack of exploration. 

The question is if they look at the boards enough to see what type of games the fans want :p

I love me some Metroid but relative to other Nintendo series it is niche. It can't hold a candle to the selling power of Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Super Mario, etc. Zelda's a bigger seller. Smash is a bigger seller. Heck, Splatoon is a bigger seller, based on what we've seen so far.
