I loved Metroid First Person "Shooter" approach by Nintendo. So much that I don't want it to be dropped or turned into a 3rd person shooter.
They can make other genres with the game, just like Mario franchise, but I want Nintendo to keep launching one FPS Metroid every generation, just like Mario Kart. That way you don't saturate the Market, and you keep interest on the next title.
I think there's a big potential for the game to turn into an open box FPS\FPA, it has the right atmosphere and universe, also the spaceship would be your bitch to move around in land and Sky locations, and even from planet to planet.
Online multiplayer as good as CoD, and HD shinny graphics as a launch title for the next Nintendo console could please the Hardcore crowd and Metroid fans.
Am I right?
