Completely agree...SA-X saved that game for me. It was way too easy, held my hand too often, and mostly felt like I was being shoved down a path as opposed to really digging and feeling out one. Still a damn good 2d game, but a big "disappointment" for me as far as metroid goes.beelzebozo said:
It shouldnt from the looks of the trailer. It all seems like a perfect side scrolling 2d plane of action(most sections) as opposed to having depth of movement through the background in a 2d viewpoint. Its not camera isnt angled at all either, which could be an issue for precision platforming. It really does look like...ummm...sf4. Strictly 2d(aside from the obvious parts) with 3d assets.....but im not sure how shooting in the background works. Maybe you aim with the wiimote and can hit anything on the screen, regardless of depth. Maybe some viewtiful joe style machspeed background interaction is in place that directly effects whats on your 2d playfield...like shooting a switch in the background to open a corridor directly in front of you.Xellotah said:

Just thought about something....was the last shot, the one where the camera view flies into the arm cannon, the hyper beam?Kenka said:
EDIT: This game better have a glitch to use the murder beam from super metroid.

I dont know if metroid will be good in the hands of team ninja, because metroid is a very slow space/adventure game. Maybe it will the biggest surprise of the century or maybe we will have another starfox assault on our hands.
I know that people thought that metroid prime was a big joke before it was announced (wtf metroid in fps mode), yet it is one of the biggest masterpieces of all the videogames.
So lets see if team ninja can do it (too bad it will be without itagaki).

Looks epic. Can't wait! Finally a 2.5D/3rd person Metroid game! It's the Metroid game I have been dreaming of since the Super Metroid days. I'm so glad Retro isn't working on this. They totally ruined the series. Team Ninja helping to bring the franchise back to its glory. The haters in this thread can suck it seriously.

again: team ninja PLUS nintendo.
and as others have said over and over, who'd have thought retro would make games as excellent as the three primes prior to their release? they were nobodies who'd done nothing. don't underestimate the power of the nintendo collaboration.

That pretty much sums up Nintendo fans ;p
They should have added another panel saying Nintendo win/best conference ever etc.
Metroid + Team Ninja is like a horse and a cat.. fucking.
I'm having trouble comprehending it.

I'm still kind of in shock actually, even though we've known for nearly a whole day now.
When I saw Samus I made some squealing like noise. I don't know what the hell is was but it was the biggest (and best) surprise I've had in a long time. It came out of nowhere. I thought Metroid was going to be dead for a while.

According to an interview Itagaki did with 1up recently, a few of the lead producers iirc.
Might want to look that up if you want to be sure.

Can someone make me an (animated) avatar of the short haired girl in the trailer?
I'll give you a cookie if you do. u_u;

i peed my pants just a little.
oh yeah, i make no apologies or excuses for my pickyness. when it comes to nintendo, all i want is zelda, metroid, and maybe a little mario. narrow minded? sure.Eteric Rice said:
dead space, sin and punishment, red steel, etc. are good in their own right for others, i completely understand. but they do nothing for me.

My prediction for this game then, awesome action, great fighting, shitty storyline, and a glimpse of Samus tits if we complete it in under 3 hours.

in one of the cutscene snippets, it shows what looks like a young samus face (very young) rapidly becoming older until finally transitioning into having a helmet over it.. my feeling is that the story will start with an intro of her childhood, and then use a transition like that to bring us forward to the 'present day' of the game
first day, first in line

That was my take the first time I played Fusion too, but each time I've gone back it's struck me as slight deviation in concept and still "Metroid" (and spectacular quality at that). I was a lot more thrown by the linearity the first time out. Going back it felt a lot more natural. Corruption was just as jarring on first visit (and I loved that too).
Between Super, Fusion, Zero, and Prime I-III, there's not a game that feels "un-Metroid" to me and actually the series has one of the strongest pedigrees there is IMO. If I had to choose a black sheep, it would be Echoes, but I won't say that for certain until I play it in the Trilogy.
Also: in for a SMet replay Thursday.

Well, I've slept on it, watched the videos again, looked at the screens and animated gifs.
I'm still sold on this. My only potential issue is how action heavy it is. Is it a Metroid in play style, or is it a more action orented shooter?
I'm fine with either direction, but I do love a good adventure title.

Yeah, there really aren't any bad Metroid games.
However, I still think Fusion is bottom tier. Played through it again recently, and just didn't like the hand-holding at all. The music didn't really do it for me either. I will agree that the SA-X is a great villain, though.
And if you want to know what "top tier" is for me, in terms of Metroid, it's more along the lines of Super Metroid, Zero Mission, Metroid Prime, and even Prime 2.

Soooo...I have a question. From the trailer, I get a mix of who the real Samus Aran is. Is it the shorted haired woman or the long haired we see towards the end? There are tons of "flash back" moments obviously in the trailer. But at the end, I get a conflicting issue of which one is Samus. You think we're gonna get the "MGS2" treatment with this?
