I don't think they would make such a drastic change of artstyle, after the whole FF debacle they probably want to keep it as safe as possible

Metroid fans would bitch and moan and sign a change.org petition to cancel the game and complain that Nintendo doesn't give us "gud metriod gamezz" that's what would happen!

But i'm in favor of not going cell shaded. Samus just looks so much better in realistic looking graphics, why do you think all the horny kids love Zero Suit Samus in Smash Bros?

I think it will have the same art style as Federation Force but with better graphics.

If you mean full chibi, it would blow up in their face. That worked in Zelda because it always had a lighthearted undertone, WW just enhanced it. Metroid is a very straight faced series.

Now if you just mean unrealistic visuals, that depends on how it turns out. There's a LOT of options. I mean, compare Breath of the Wild to Skyrward Sword to Wind Waker. If the aesthetic resonated with the tone and atmosphere of Metroid, it might fly.

However, I see no reason it won't be more or less realistic. Metroid Samus Returns is a mostly realistic approach. And if you want a big budget example, Xenoblade Chronicles X was more or less realistic with anime styled character faces. Even in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you have fairly realistic environments with anime inspired characters. So I think Prime will almost certainly be realistic.

Oh Metroid Prime is a beautiful series for compensating for power.  Because it takes place in canyons an caverns, it allows you to push more detail up close in the confined spaces.  I mean, Doom has a similarly broad level design style and it has realistic visuals.  Metroid Prime would be made for the Switch, meaning much more optimized for the system.

After the reaction from Federation Force, and the debacle that caused for the series for a good while, I think an art style change alone would ensue chaos so extreme that all of New York City gets destroyed in a nuclear explosion or something.

Your English is great! No need to worry about communicating with the forum. As for Metroid... I think a cartoony artstyle would clash with the somewhat darker tone of the Metroid series. The game could have bright and varied colors... But it will still be kept relatively realistic.

I dont have nothing against Nintendo art styles, but Metroid Prime was always more mature and more serious games to rest of Nintendo IPs, so I wouldnt love to see Metroid with cartoonish art style.

Dear god no.

No thank you. I want a game that shows the power of the Switch. But more so I want a game that feels like Metroid Prime, nudged a bit more to one and two's artistic direction than 3. I expect some more realistic graphics with some more "sci-fi" lighting affects
