Topic: Metroid Prime Sequel for 3DS

I loved the Metroid Prime series, definately amazing, but can we expect to see one on Nintendo's new handheld? It seems as though Nintendo have set the Story-Line up so that they can make a sequel as if you unlock the Secret Ending on the end of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption... well see the clip for yourself on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pQtbFidSf0

See the blue ship following Samus? Looks a bit like one of the Hunters who hated Samus in Metroid Prime Hunter's ship is following her. I can't remember exactly which one i think it might be Sylux or Noxus i honestly can't remember exactly. Anyway, my point is, this definately points to a sequel, do you think they'll make one for the 3DS?

I'd rather have Retro make a new 2.5D game, honestly. Like Metroid Dread. <3

Ughhhhhhhh

Hey there's even a message in MP3 that definitely points towards Dread: "Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion.""

We'll see what happens at E3. :3

I'd love to see a. a 2.5D Metroid Dread like pix said b. a Hunters sequel c. a remake of one of the console games or d. all of the above.

I'm afraid we won't see Metroid anytime soon. Every game in the series since Prime 1 has sold less and less. Retro moved on to Donkey Kong, while Team Ninja's effort saw a lot of criticism. Another Hunters-spinoff seems like the most likely direction for a 3DS outing, but I think they are going to let the series cool for a while.

I'm kinda sick of all these Metroid games lately (even if they were pretty good, Other M is a fave of mine). Nintendo needs to try focusing more on their other sci-fi franchises imo.

Like MOTHER?

It's kinda sci-fi like. But that's under Itoi

But we haven't gotten a completely new 2D Metroid since Prime, either. Retro finished DKCR, and Nintendo has probably gotten a better idea of what works and what doesn't. Project Dread could have been in development for a long time before it was postponed, and it's not like there's no one to finish it.

It's Nintendo's IP, and they can do what they want with it. Without Itoi, I doubt they could pull off a new Mother game, and re-releasing any of the three games would be reckless, if not suicidal, for Nintendo.

BTW, Mother isn't really sci-fi at all. I can't really think of any sci-fi Nintendo games, except maybe the newer Metroids.

I doubt anything would happen, but like others said...yeah, Dread...I want it.

Prime Hunters sequel. Except more people per match and more hunters to choose from.

I haven't played Prime yet (or any Metroid game for that matter) but I just ordered Metroid Prime Trilogy. I'm sure it will be amazing!

Isn't Star Fox considered a sci-fi game?.

Should've gave my two cents on the topic in my previous comment, but... honest, though I would enjoy a Prime Sequel for 3DS, I think it's better suited to a 2.5D one. I have my doubts about Dread, I think that one was sorta buried (though feel free to prove me wrong Nintendo!), but just in general, haven't had a Metroid with 2D game play since Fusion (Zero Mission was a remake with a bit of new content at the end), and I miss that game play!

I rather have a New Metroid Prime on Cafe. Huge TV and HD too would be fantastic for the metroid series.

Or a re-release of Metroid Prime: Hunters for Project Café. It has the great multiplayer mode and the game would certainly benefit from pointer controls thanks to the Wiimote+nunchuk.

Probably. Most people don't understand what qualifies as sci-fi, so it wouldn't surprise me.

A new Prime game would be pointless. Prime 3 resolved everything related to Phazon, so there's really no reason to continue the story. I'd like a new sidescroller with some areas that you explore in first-person. I've also thought it would be cool if you could shoot into the background and foreground, but I imagine would be hard for them to pull that off without causing some of the problems Other M had.

i hope so too but theres always the gba games and gbc if they ever did release a metriod game for it

Heheh, the Duke Nukem of Nintendo. It would sure be epic if it ever saw the light of day.

...And a better single player mode...>_>
