Probably not developed by Nintendo, which for me, is a no go. The last 2D Metroid I loved was Fusion.

Overall, what Nintendo is doing these days seems to be a far cry from their heyday. Like Disney, they use to be known for either wildly imaginative new IP, or revolutionary new ways to play older IP. Now, over the last few months, it's mostly Switch 2 versions of Switch 1 games, or remakes of thirty-year-old IP that I still own and can play whenever I want. And the few "new" games like Yoshi and Prime 4 disappoint. It's like Disney 2.0.

Happy for all you who are happy, though. Genuinely.

While that is very true, it's weird to put that in the Metroid Ravenous thread haha, since this is a brand new game I don't think anyone expected and a sequel to the awesome and highly regarded Metroid Dread. This is literally one of the first brand new exciting first party games on the system.

Seeing it depressed me, though, because I didn't like Dread at all, and this is just going down that route again. It's like your favorite restaurant getting rid of that famous meal they've had for thirty years that you grew up loving and replacing it with a different one that you don't like. Even if it becomes popular, even if it makes them money, it's not the meal that kept you coming back. It's something else. So you're just... out of luck.

Thank goodness I'm a retro gamer. If I wasn't, man...

Not remotely surprising, but it's confirmed now that MercurySteam is the studio behind this one, same guys who did Dread:

I wanna see what other Nintendo IPs they can do wonders with. Have they worked on any other Nintendo franchises?

Not so far; who knows what they will do next after this though; Retro started off as the Metroid Prime guys but went on to make Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze, Next Level Games went from Punch-out to Federation Force to Luigi's Mansion to Mario Strikers, etc.
