OMFG, it looks amazing. I don't know, I played Metroid Prime 3 & Metroid Prime Hunters and didn't really like them. But something about this just looks wonderful. And I'm getting it for $20, thanks Amazon <3

The demos have all had the skip function.
I honestly don't get it though.
The story is pretty much what you'd expect from a video game.
This isn't Stephen King...

Yeah I am hoping we get to the point soon that people no longer need to point this out and just kinda accept it.
Being told my taste in gaming = shit everytime I post got old along time ago.
Edit: Though in a way I actually kinda don't want it to end either, I ranked up to Agent of Satan yesterday in the RE thread so I can't decide if I should shoot for the next level or not.
Obviously it's Ninja Gaiden's cheesiness, just instead of Ryu's adventures with a bunch of girls, it's Samus' adventures with a bunch of guys.seady said:
Presumably she will go and save them several times throughout the plot, despite them being "super special forces" who should be able to deal with the problems they have.
Hope the music stays pre-recorded (ie, orchestrated, high quality). Looks like they're actually pushing Wii. So few developers do that, sometimes you forget it's 1.5x GC (Rogue Squadron 3 still looks better than 99% of Wii games).
I liked everything I saw.
If this was the first trailer I saw I would be in the doubtful camp, but I've grown used to the cheesy story and not-that-great voice acting (english one), I might even end up liking it. The thing is that the story of Metroid has always been pretty bad, all this game is doing is showing us the ugly truth we've been trying to ignore. The subtlety of Super's presentation didn't make the story any less cliche and formulaic. It looks like the story won't get in the way anymore than it did in Fusion and Corruption so I think it will be fine.

Kuniaki Haishima. He did the music for Monster and Gasaraki.Boney said:
No, Metroid Dread on next console. Fill-in-the-gaps stuff on consoles and installments that extend the story on portables only would be an annoying trend. Plus, now that the Prime series is over, there's nothing stopping Sakamoto from putting his next Metroid game right up on the console platform where it belongs.AceBandage said:
3DS can get the 2.5D 'Zero Mission' version of Metroid II (which would be awesome).

Footage looks good, wish it was in English.
I didn't know that was possible.

Why's everyone hating on Prime 3?
I loved the shit out of it, but I also loved Prime 1 and Super Metroid as well as Zero Mission. Haven't played Fusion or Prime 2 though.
But yeah, Prime 3 was a great game. A lot more linear but I preferred it that way since I used to get really lost in Prime and Super.

More and more looking at the thing they tributed the saga in the first place. Alien
Im sure they are going to kill the cast one by one.
Adam or Anthony are going to be killed by Ridley, you hear it here first folks.

I dont thing they look generic, they are actually very diferent of each other in a manga type of way, whith different noses and all that :lol
They remind me to secondary characters of things like Cowboy Bebop, Monster or 20th Century Boys.
We know Ridley is in the game, im pretty sure he will be part of one of those killings.Boney said:
Even Anthony and Adam are generic if you're going by that trailer alone. I don't believe that the entire force will be well fleshed out or anything (as much as I love the series, exposition isn't its strong point; and that seems to be the primary mode that MoM will play in), but I'm sure we'll see some depth in several of these characters the further we go into the game.
That being said, this is the first trailer that has had me giddy with excitement. So much of the exploration reminds me of Super Metroid, and the combat reminds me of Arkham Asylum in that while it may be a little awkward to learn, and to see in action while learning, to watch/execute properly will result in a very satisfying experience. I'm NOT saying that Samus suddenly fights like Batman or anything, just that I feel that this games' combat seems to have captured the feel of the character very well, especially with the emphasis being taken away from run-and-gun.
EDIT: Okay, list time:
Super Metroid > Metroid Prime > Metroid Prime 2 = Metroid Fusion > Metroid: Zero Mission > Metroid > Metroid Prime 3 > Metroid II > Metroid Prime: Hunters
I love every game up until Metroid II (I don't particularly hate it, but I haven't been able to play it in several years and I've never beaten it; I do have a cartridge AND a Super Game Boy in my possession now, so its time will come soon). Metroid Prime 3 is stupid fun, but for all of the wrong reasons. Metroid: Prime Hunters has pretty fun multiplayer, but falls flat everywhere else. I believe that the original Metroid's gameplay has aged worse than other classics from its time period, but that its atmosphere is easily on par with the best in the series (and in the medium. Period.). Zero Mission is relatively low on the atmosphere, but has top notch gameplay and added onto the lore of the series in a tasteful and engaging manner. Prime 2 and Fusion remind me of one another in that they are both flawed games with excellent highs (bosses in both, the puzzles in Prime 2 and the tension in Fusion) and require more commitment than the other games on the list, possibly excepting the original Metroid. Prime and Super need no introduction.

I expected laughably awful, atmosphere-sapping exposition, looks like I'm gonna get it.
Oh yeah besides the fact that they mention that's Adam no one would know he actually was Adam. At least Anthony seems to have some unique weapons attached to him to make him stand out.iirate said:
Well again with their visors closed and their faces covered you'd never know who they were outside of their voice. Their facial features still seem generic to me and that manga example doesn't really help. There's nothing really outstanding about any of their character models be it their face or their suit.SpacePirate Ridley said:
Really the only way I could see the characters stand out is if the stories and characters are written well but I'm not sure Nintendo and Team Ninja can pull it off.

I really like the music. Surprisingly. Metroid music usually bores the fuck out of me.
Samus' Japanese VA is... wrong. Just, wrong.

"remember me" sounds nowhere near as awesome in japanese 
my only concerns at this point is that you have to move to change direction and whether the pacing is good. i have a high tolerance for video game exposition, and 8-direction digital controller has never bothered me as much as it does for most people.
EDIT: Oh snaps and dang, that short flash of the monster's face near the end, I am 90% certain that was an
