That's what Metroid Prime would look like if Crytek made the game.
Retro's will look like...
Fuck you, Ace.

If the Wii U cases were real or not, if the TV were plugged to a dev kit hidden behind, etc.
Yes, but were there more specific posts ? Just need to check if one tidbit has been revealed before.

Um, I don't think so, no.
Otherworldly. Alien. Incredible. Begging to be explored.
Damn. Metroid isn't one of those titles where I go to bed wondering what the next one will be like. But if we keep this up.. ugh..
Do you know how the size of the dev kits relates to the Wii U cases at E3? Specifically, are the new kits bigger or smaller?
It's not a big deal, but did you or anyone else ever reveal or guess the colors of the different dev kit versions?

Yeah, let's keep Retro from working on a sequel to the most successful series they've worked on, and give it to someone else to do, after giving it to someone else completely flopped...
I didn't say I wanted that.
There's a difference between what I want and what I think will happen.
And sorry to say, but if you want to talk most successful....DKCR was successful critically by gaming media and successful in game sales. Metroid was only successful critically.
And I just think Nintendo doesn't view Metroid as a number 1 priority anymore. Metroid Prime 3 and Other M's sales werent that great.

Zelda will be shown at E3 as a reimagining by Team Ninja.

Finally, Link will talk. And have boobies.
It has to be GTAV. If GTAV skips Wii U, it'll just reconfirm all the negative, kiddy connotations for Nintendo systems. Having GTAV won't necessarily stop some people from going on believing that, anyways, but not having GTAV would be really bad, from that angle. The others, even RE6, wouldn't have as much impact on that view as GTAV. It never came to GameCube, couldn't be on Wii. It absolutely could be on Wii U, so to skip it again would be quite frustrating for shaking the "kiddy" Nintendo console image.
That's my opinion, anyways. From the actual "what game I'd want to play angle", it'd be RE6, but I figure that'll be a late port, anyways.

No, it'll be Zelda as imagined by Suda51.

You'll earn Rupees in Where's Waldo perspective and the end boss will be a matter of shitluck mind rather than any skill of battle.

Metroid Prime sales were pretty great actually. Prime 3 went on to sell 1.31 million copies. That's not too bad in my opinion.

About the colors of the dev kits:
Firsts ones were black (i know it thanks to another source that the ones i'm referring to in all my "revelations" posts)
V3 was white (another source from the V1 info)
I think V4 is white also (not sure for this one)
And "V5" are of a "special" color, i need to check it before confirming it here.
Nothing groundbreaking, but still intriguing and interesting to picture in your imagination those big development boxes.
Zelda gonna have one thick neck.
I will personally fly to NT headquarters and destroy everything.

I'm sorry, are you a mod? Who made you ruler of this thread? I'm personally getting tired of getting an earful because I post doubt in somebody acting like he knows everything, dangles it over us like dogs (which is against TOS), takes credit for news he didn't provide, hasn't been validated by a mod, and can't take criticism worth a lick.
I've already stated it before; if the topic is brought up, I will state my opinion if I am present. Contray to your tall-tales, the majority of my post are NOT about you. Why do you constantly feel the need to back-seat Mod (also against TOS) just becuase two or three of us don't praise everything single thing you say? I thought you welcomed doubt and criticism? It sure as hell doesn't seem that way.
But I'm done giving you the time of day. I will not mention your name for the rest of the period of before E3, and you can go on enjoying your 15 minutes of... Whatever this is.... uncontested by me. Hope E3 works out in a good way for you.

... This happens more often than you might realize.
It would definitely open-up the possibility for a lot of "I'm too damn old for this"-type jokes.
Maybe Sean Connery could provide Link's voice, even if it's just the grunts, the ooohs, the hi-yas, and the aaahhs.

Hyrule.
Hyrule has changed. It's no longer about Rupees, Fairies, or Race. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. Triforce-tagged soldiers carry Trifoce-tagged weapons, use Triforce-tagged gear. Ganonmachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefiled control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. Hyrule has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control...All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield...controls history. Hyrule has changed. When the battlefield is under total control...War becomes routine

I'm thinking more Gary Busey, players would be on their edge of their seats in horror during cutscenes even when Link is having conversations with his grandma.

My point was, from a business point of view, it doesn't make sense for Nintendo to give the Metroid franchise to someone other than Retro, after how successful Retro was with it and how unsuccessful another company was. I think if Nintendo were to make a new console Metroid game, they would give it to Retro to make.
Metroid Prime sold like 1.5 million copies in the US alone, those are good sales numbers. Maybe not as good as DKCR, but DKCR also had a lot more marketing behind it - Nintendo barely pushed Metroid Prime for some reason. Nintendo has never viewed Metroid as a big seller, the entire series has always sold horribly in Japan.
Yep, I remember the Just Dance 4 speculation. I think it's pretty obvious Nintendo will be using camera motion tracking in its games. It's probably more cost effective to use the DRC camera with the controller propped on a stand, but a second camera in the sensor bar opens up so many more gameplay possibilities.
Here's what i'm explaining
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
And there are maybe some others posts quoting others talking about me without the word "ideaman" being written.
This is what i'm talking about. Expressing doubts, no problem. Doing it 15+ times in 2 months, with in 3 or 4 messages a clear insinuation that i'm a fraud, taking all the occasion to declare it, there is definitively a pattern here, and it's not good for the thread atmosphere. This is of course, my opinion, my feeling.

They pushed the first Metroid Prime pretty big actually. They created an awesome commercial and had tons of print/web advertisements. I remember the first Splinter Cell was released right around then and MP had more frequent advertisements on the stations I watched.

I can't believe how close to E3 we are!
It's going to be great, because I'm sure we'll all be able to have a calm and logical discussion regarding Nintendo and the WiiU, and that no one will overreact.

Let's just say I have still a lot to learn about Photoshop and general designs.
Conference OT talk makes me excited.
You'd hope someone at Nintendo would be smart enough to put two and two together realize Team Ninja's inability to meet what was expected of them as a studio might have had something to do with the recent departure of their head and lead director.
Yeah, Metroid Prime had as much marketing as any Gamecube game, bar Super Mario Sunshine and possibly The Wind Waker.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
As I said earlier in the thread, Metroid Prime with modern hardware and a bit more flash to the presentation would probably be a bigger hit than it was during the GCN/PS2/Xbox generation. In an alternative history where HD Metroid Prime was a launch title for the Wii U, I think it would be a pretty big deal.
Wait until you see it.

I hope the next Metroid gives you an entire planet to explore with many different environments to find and secrets to unlock and creatures crawling in many nooks and crannies.
Make Samus crash land somewhere. Like the Tomb Raider reboot!
