The recent E3 2015 backlash has been giving some strong GC era WW vibes. However it also got me thinking about the Prime 1 reveal. The WW backlash is well documented and there are plenty of sources that have archived the general reaction. However Metroid is oddly absent from similar discussions.
I might be wrong but I can't help but feel that the overall reaction to having an unknown studio take a side scrolling platformer First Person would have been negative. Even today I see a few people who seem to be upset that Metroid went first person.
I've tried poking around the Gaming Age forum archives and using the wayback machine but I can't find anything specific. Were any of you around here back then who could comment on the general reaction?
