It's cute how people think Nintendo sees Metroid as a Zelda substitute.

This. I love Metroid, but to think that it could some how fill in for a Zelda game is pretty absurd.ShockingAlberto said:It's cute how people think Nintendo sees Metroid as a Zelda substitute.
Maybe Metroid alone no, but what about Metroid-Wiilax combo? =PShockingAlberto said:It's cute how people think Nintendo sees Metroid as a Zelda substitute.

Thus far, I haven't seen anything that would indicate that Zelda isn't coming out in 2010.wRATH2x said:Anyway, I hope Zelda is 2010. All I'm saying is its not as probable from what I gather.
I feel exactly the same way, title for title. This might not only give me the opportunity to get S&P2 on day one (rather than hold out for Metroid), it might also give me enough breathing room to justify grabbing 3D Dot Game Heroes, which I was begrudgingly putting on the back burner.AniHawk said:Thank Christ. 3D Dot Game Heroes, S&P2, Metroid, and SMG2 hitting within two months of each other was too much to handle.
Yeah thats what I'm getting at, the Metroid delay shows there is a chance at least.BertramCooper said:Thus far, I haven't seen anything that would indicate that Zelda isn't coming out in 2010.
Sure, Zelda has a long track record of delays, but with Nintendo's new announce shortly before release policy, I don't think that's going to be the case this time. God willing.
Thats dumb >=[ZealousD said:Here's the timeline so you can understand the reasoning.
1.) Zelda still being worked on, likely won't be ready for Holiday release.
2.) Nintendo executives realize that without Zelda, they have nothing ready for the holidays on Wii.
3.) Somebody pitches idea that they should just delay Metroid for September/October/November. It's a bit too close to Galaxy 2 anyway.
4.) Because Zelda has not been officially announced, none are the wiser about its delay.
5.) Executives go back to swim in their Scrooge McDuck money bin.
I wish.Instro said:Its obvious guys, Metroid Other M was pushed back so it could release along side Metroid Dread 3DS in October.
Yeah, because you could really tell there was so much complicated mess in the game from a few screens, and like two trailers..TheFLYINGManga_Ka said:I wish.
I think it's delayed because maybe Team Ninja screwed it up. I don't know. Seeing how there's just so much complicated mess in the game, I just can't trust Team Ninja to pull this off successfully. It feels to shallow based on the previews I've been reading.
No, I was excited from the trailers and screens. But it's from the early impressions I've read at IGN from editors who played the first part of the game.Door2Dawn said:Yeah, because you could really tell there was so much complicated mess in the game from a few screens, and like two trailers..
hmm? why wouldnt they?Stormwatch said:What really sucks is the fact that they had all sorts of previews in the May issues of video game magazines trying to hype up the June release. I'm sure magazines aren't going to re-preview the game closer to release time to hype it up again.
I understand the reasoning. I'm just saying that one does not logically follow the other. It could just as easily been:ZealousD said:Here's the timeline so you can understand the reasoning.

DarthButcher said:Just got an official email from work about two of Nintendo's biggest profile games of the year, Metroid: Other M and Sin & Punishment 2 being delayed.
Metroid: Other M has changed from being released on 6/27 to TBD.
Sin and Punishment 2 has changed from being released on 6/6 to 6/27.
Why, Nintendo? WHY?

wRATH2x said:Most of us here were talking about how Nintendo haven't delayed a game in a while and how their new strategy is different from the Nintendo of old.
This shows that they still do delay their games, and a seemingly ready game like Metroid being delayed indefinitely is most likely for filling a gap, and Zelda is the most likely to be delayed to 2011.
I wish we get it this year, I really fucking do, but I'm not so sure anymore.

Thats my dream, but sadly it ain't happening.donny2112 said:That's my guess, too.
They didn't delay Galaxy 2 at all, and Brawl was long ago.Vizion28 said:Why would you think that when they delayed Brawl and Galaxy 2?
Hey, if they are delaying a game to make improvements I am all for it.
