Talking with friends about how dumb Ridley as a playable character is and the potential for Metroid series characters in Smash lead me to think of one guy. A guy no on remembers.
Let us hearken back to 2009. Nintendo is riding the casual wave and many fans have lost faith, but then... Megaton: Metroid Other M by Team Ninja

That trailer is still fucking awesome.
Fast forward to 2010 and the game's release where many are dismayed to find that the promised land is filled with infuriating pixel hunting, inane writing, the character assassination of Samus, and kinda ugly graphics.
My question for you all is can you name a wider gap between reveal hype and release quality? I'm sure there are many but my brain fails me.
(For the record I actually like Metroid Other M more than most people I think. The gameplay is solid and uniquely action heavy for that style of game)
