Jumpin said: I picked "Other" I'd love to see a Metroid open-world RPG taking place across multiple planets, with a lot of cyberpunk style elements. It can maintain all of the deep dives into the underground, but I want something more to the Metroid experience. My second choice would be a Hollow Knight inspired Metroid game. |
Expanding the experience of a franchise is tricky business, though I understand the appeal. Mario has had crazy, wild success expanding into every corner of gaming, while his rival Sonic is a famous example of a fanbase losing their minds over the franchise exploring new experiences. Perhaps Metroid would fair more like Mario than Sonic, but her Nintendo sci-fi brethren, Star Fox, has a pretty poor record on this matter. Given that Metroid Prime Pinball and Federation Force were great games that were rejected by fans, I think the Metroid fanbase would not take to experimentation well, and Metroid would go the path of Star Fox. I'd definitely play your multi-planet cyberpunk RPG Metroid, but I think it would do best if marketed as a clear spin-off not related to the main series or Prime series so that fans would give it a chance.
