Team Ninja & Nintendo - NEW METROID on Wii!

Why do people say 2d and 3d? It is completely third person 3d in some segments, and some visor first-person in other segments.
 
They showed Sin and Punishment 2 as part of a montage of upcoming games last year when they were desperately grabbing at anything to show that they didn't completely abandon regular gamers. I don't think its absence from this conference means that it's in trouble in any way.

All of Nintendo's stuff looked awesome, but this stole the show for me.:D

Yeah, that vitality sensor was totally rad! I didn't think they could top it.

Does look pretty good, though, initially :) (maybe we'll be able to make Samus' breasts larger by lying about our ages!)
 
Well the combat looks goddamn awesome. But seriously I hope there's alot of exploration in this. But shit that trailer was so fucking amazing.
 
yeah this is a megaton, not the biggest ever, but one that makes me look at the wii and cry manly tears for the awesomeness that it will provide!:D :D :D

How is a Metroid announcement a megaton? Especially given it's being headed by a team of an unknown calibre who've only previously worked on updated ports.

Get your hatorade drinkin butt outta here. That trailer was 10 shades of awesome. It had 2.5d, 3rd person AND First Person elements all in the same game. With Nintendo collaborating with them I expect this to be one of the best Wii games of 2010. Just look what Nintendo did with the unproven Retro on their first outing and again with Nintendo Tokyo's Jungle Beat to Mario Galaxy. The game will be AAA.
 
MY GOD that looked fucking awesome. Much more-so then Galaxy 2 even. It came out of fucking nowhere for me, and it looks incredible. Holy shit. Cool that they are working with Team Ninja.

Took me till the Zero Suit showed up to figure out what this was. At first when it was whoosing through space I was like
"Shit is this Starfox? maybe F Zero? Wait, who's that? Seriously what could this possibly be ZERO SUIT METRIOD IT'S METROID OH GOD LOOK AT IT GHSFGAGVGHFAGGKJAHJKAHKLAJMSGKJHKAGHAFJH."

As someone who can't really get on with first person games, I welcome a third person game that has to chance to be close to the classic games. :D

That was my exact reaction. :lol
 
New Metroid looks amazing and I don't care one bit about Itagaki not being there. I didn't like Ninja Gaiden 1 or 2. The one I played the most of was Sigma and I hear he didn't even work on that. Plus, working with Nintendo, I'm sure it will be awesome. Trailer looked sweet.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

no.

what's next? epic and cliffy b "helping" with a mario spin-off? wtf are the new ip's? just more of nintendo fucking over third parties and whoring their ancient ip's down everyone's throat and acting like they're new. they're like that twisted family in fallout3 that acts like there was no nuclear war.

all im saying is that nintendo is SO good at making games (cue the "so awesome" penny arcade comic) and i personally (uh oh) don't care for their zelda/mario/donkey kong/metroid/etc. little group of classic mascots and ip's. is it fucked up for wanting something new from them other than exercise?
 
I squealed. I actually squealed.

Still not sure about Team Ninja fondling my favourite franchise, but I do welcome the likely improved combat and narrative.

That said, I hope the game is still a Metroid game. The trailer looks very action-orientated, but since it's a trailer I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Still can't believe this. I thought Metroid was dead for a long while. And it seems to have 2D portions too. :D

This is hilariously stupid.
 
I'm not too keen on the flashy presentation. Metroid has been all about subdued atmosphere and practical visuals. It's likely not the permanent direction of the franchise but this game will likely feel the least like Metroid among all the games in the franchise.

It sure looks like a lot of fun to play though.

If you had no problem with Retro, I don't see how you can have a problem with Team Ninja.
 
This is unbelievable. The video looks :O :O :O

Recreation of Super Metroid's final boss fight = pure sex on the beach.

What I'm hoping is the main portion of the gameplay is traditional 2D levels with the full combat system kicking in for boss battles. That would be fucking amazing.

Damn.
 
This definitely makes up for the no Wii Zelda announcement I was hoping for.

But just like a lot of you, I'm also as afraid of it bombing as I am excited about how awesome it truly may be.
 
Looks amazing. I can't imagine how it plays exactly, but if you had asked me to imagine Metroid fifteen years in the future after I first played Super Metroid, this would be pretty close. I'm all for fleshing out some of the story too. The whole concept of isolation was great, but I'm all for something different.
 
Shit I just realized right now. I had already posted in the topic but Nintendo just fucking announced a edgier, darker Metroid game with fucking insane combat.

Whoa.
 
All right, this looks fucking awesome, I will just skip the cutscenes or something. If it is as fast-paced as it looks from the trailer (hopefully) it will bring back the biggest element Retro missed with the Prime series IMO.

I agree.

Sometimes I also wish that fire was cold. I mean, wtf? It's been hot for millions of years. Time for something different.

n'gai wanted a 2D metroid, so maybe he can get a little of both now.
