There's not much more to say really, the video proof is there for any who want it.

But we've wandered waaay off topic. Honestly, besides the fact it's highly unlikely to be a 2018 title, I'd say there's no way Prime 4 should be listed alongside the likes of Pokemon, Monster Hunter, or Animal Crossing as a killer app in the first place. Those are the kind of titles that can spur massive and sustained hardware surges. Metroid has never been the kind of game to do that. It's a game for the core players, not the masses.

You implied vision is heavily impaired which as shown it's not but whatever.

Metroid is not even a game for core players I've said this before and I'll say it again it's a niche franchise that has developed a limited dedicated following, the taste required to get into the series is so specific even many so called core players are put off. The Prime series can never match the performance of other FP heavy hitters as a result unless it has a radical overhaul while TP Metroid has the potential to retain its identity and grow but it still will never hit the performance status games like Zelda and Mario hold.

Vision is heavily impaired; the player is running toward the camera with a very limited range of forward visibility.

A good game would reposition the camera behind the player.

Wrong. Other M doesn't do that.

EDIT: I think I see what you did there.

No dude that camera is pretty common and it's not heavily impaired that's a gross exaggeration as the camera is a significant distance in front of the character allowing you to see whats coming your way along with the radar, no all games require a free camera and this is one of them the are many games that do this as well and it works fine like it does here, notice how the camera even pans out futher when entering an upcoming area of action.

I know the game has flaws but this is not one of them and the video highlights this as well it's not a massive issue like you painted and for someone claiming to get back on topic you're still pushing the off topic, time to drop it as my stance isn't changing so move on.

I'm not trying to change your stance. That is clearly not happening. This was simply for the benefit of others.

And you didn't think your previous posts repeating the exact same thing didn't do that already? Sorry I don't buy that at all get back on topic.

Seriously though, guys. Can we just agree that Other M sucks and move on? We're not only driving the thread quite off-topic by now, but also pointlessly debating something that is a cold fact.

Pretty much. It was fun for a bit, but yeah, when you reach the point where someone is so deep in denial they reject video proof, there's little point in continuing. The thread as a whole has pretty much run its course to be honest, we simply don't know enough about 2018's lineup yet to make any kind of informed judgement. The few confirmed titles we know of are not of killer app calibre, while the release dates for heavy hitters like Pokemon are still up in the air. 

Given Nintendo's propensity to keep their cards close to their chest and not reveal games until they are months away, there are almost certainly many 2018 games we don't even know about yet. Heck, we'd probably need to wait until after E3 2018 to discuss this properly.

Dear, God somebody should necro this thread in about a year. Most of the games listed aren't coming out in 2018 for obvious reasons.

Poke'mon: Sun/Moon came out last year, and it takes at least two years for a new handheld Poke'mon game. This is consolized version so it should take three to four years. It will be released 2019 at the earliest.

Metroid: This was just announced so no.

Animal Crossing: Splatoon 2 just came out, and that's what the Animal Crossing team was working on. Another 2019 title at the earliest.

Smash Bros: If they were going to port Smash 4 to the Switch they'd have said something by now. There's at least a four year wait between new Smash Bros. games, so it isn't coming out in 2018.

We will most likely get whatever it is Retro Studios has been working on since they finished Tropical Freeze.

2018 might be a slow year for Nintendo. That's ok though because at this rate Switch will end 2017 with seven to eight first party games.

I doubt Pokemon will be realeased next year so Animal Crossing. We won't be getting Mario Kart 9 or Mario Maker till the end of the Switch's life in my opinion.

i dont want mario kart to be produced as end-life/start-life cycle for the consoles... i hope they skipped mario kart 9 this gen to be honest

Mario Maker 2.0 could be quickly and easily released soon enough.

I think a new Mario Kart is also well into development.

Um, you do know that came out in 2014, right?  4 year wait = 2018.

Oh wow. I guess we are about due for another Smash Bros. then.
