If this shit does not sell, Nintendo will probably think that the franchise is doomed. "We made Metroid Prime, and nobody wanted it." :-(

Well I'm sure it will be really good then.

 

[tkscz]

I'm willing to try it.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Ah, yes, Metroid.

A game about isolation and the unknown.

Spoiler

4 player co-op.

T-thanks....?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So is Retro wasting their talents on this instead of Prime 4 or whatever new Metroid?

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

I really don't get the reactions. It's a spinoff, what's the problem with it being something different?

 

[diablos991]

Nintendo's E3 isn't going so well.

 

[TreasureHunterG]

Jesus... Nintendo. What an epic failure. Mismanagement of their IPs keeps on.

 

[Kazer]

Guess Metroid is dead.

 

[ugoo18]

If this is the only Metroid announcement then i would have taken another DKC game over this.... :/

 

[The Xtortionist]

the dream is dead

no reason to go on

how could this happen

 

[Ty4on]

Don't worry, Prime 4 was announced on MS' press conference

Spoiler

Please be good

It's not like there hasn't been a Metroid game since 2010 and a good one since 2007

But their concept looked literally one billion times better than this.

 

[dancrane212]

I'm so sour with this news. I'm hoping this isn't it for Metroid at this E3.

 

[Conkerkid11]

This is like that Chibi FF game at Sony's conference but with no FF7 remake followup.

Not watching. What did they follow this up with?

 

[speedpop]

There aren't words for how bummed I am that THIS is the Metroid game we've been waiting 5 fucking years for...

I wonder who is making it?

Well you've only got another 3 more years to go until the gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime is caught up!

 

[FoneBone]

Some epic-level fan trolling, which I don't mind if there's a more traditional Metroid (or Metroid Prime) being announced. But otherwise...

 

[Instro]

Schedule must be barren if they are whipping up these cheap co-op spinoffs for Metroid and Zelda.

Pretty much. Releasing some crap while probably holding game development for the next platforms, like Zelda.

 

[Hale-XF11]

All they had to do was make a proper Hunters sequel.

Double sad because it probably means no new Punch-Out

 

[Defect]

Uh maybe because Metroid games don't come out as often as Zelda or Mario?

I'm sure they will have a real Metroid for their next system but god damn.

 

[Corpekata]

Not watching. What did they follow this up with?

Nothing at all.

Technically, Fire Emblem I think.

 

[Kalopsia]

I WOULD RATHER HAVE NOTHING.

 

[Vanille]

You'd have a point if we we're being swamped with mainline games.

 

[LuuKyK]

Omg, that looks so bad. Why.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

im serving crow later today

 

[Percy]

Oh man

Not like this.

 

[Matt Attack]

Hilarious, in a truly depressing sort of way. What the hell?

 

[PBalfredo]

Guys. GUYS.

What if the final boss is

Spoiler

Samus. Metroid Fusion follow-up finally confirmed!

 

[whiteninja]

Something to balance out yesterday I guess.

 

[Rambler]

Classic Metroid is gone for good

 

[Mama Robotnik]

YOU WANTED METROID?

YOU DIDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT METROID

SO HERE IT IS.

HERE IS YOUR METROID.

EAT YOUR METROID.

I'm not hungry Nintendo.

EAT IT ALL.

 

[dancrane212]

Looks like butt.

 

[Kurtofan]

One hell of a Monkey's paw

 

[Toa TAK]

This is the most confusing thing to happen to me since puberty.

 

[tesqui]

This looks like the garbled up shit that steamworld dig was. In terms of aliasing and look

 

[Galang]

Presentation wise this looks terrible honestly. What's with the Hunter designs? And the subtitle is super Saturday morning cartoon corny ... I'm sure the gameplay will be good but dang

 

[DaBargainHunta]

Any vids?

 

[Steroyd]

In the same E3, where Square Enix actually says they're going to do a Final Fantasy VII remake... fuck it I'll throw in Shenmue and Sony pulling their finger out for The Last Guardian. I find this hilariously crushing. ;_;

 

[P44]

I want to get off Mr.Iwata's wild ride.

 

[Calcium]

This is the most confusing thing to happen to me since puberty.

Hahaha!

 

[Mesonak]

I understand the disappointment, I really do, but c'mon guys, it could be fun! I'm just happy to see an acknowledgment of the franchise's existence. Now that we know they weren't lying when they said they were developing 3DS Metroid we can assume they weren't lying when they said they were developing Wii U Metroid as well.

 

[TheJesusFish]

 

[Dinda]

I rarely get angry because of video games...but really Nintendo?
Guess we get what we wanted huh...

 

[AJ_Wings]

Ummm... Uh... Well... Yikes

 

[Shin Johnpv]

So disappointed.

 

[Apathy]

People wanted metroid prime, well here it is. If this does not do well I hope Nintendo won't take it as people's disinterest in an actual metroid game

 

[Klappdrachen]

I mean a spinoff would be fine, but like this? With chibi-like GF soldiers? Fuck that.
