Topic: For the love of Metroid

I'd rather just give F-Zero to Nintendo, with Miyamoto in charge

Give it to whoever made F-Zero X please.

^{Best F-Zero ever.}

That would be Nintendo EAD.

It wasn't ead Tokyo (though I know they worked on it. But the game was developed by sega's amusement vision the guys behind the first 2 monkey ball games.

No, they made F-Zero GX on Gamecube?

here it says amusement division/sega http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Zero_GX

I said that, he was talking about F-Zero X on Nintendo 64. Two different games.

ok

As the date of Metroid's US 25th draws near, I really hope Reggie has something nice planned. For his sake, I mean.

Wasn't Metroid's 25th anniversary last year?

@Chrono_Cross Yes, the Japanese release of Metroid was about a year before the US release.

Yeah, I could have sworn Nintendo released Legend of Zelda and Metroid in 1987. Which was 25 years ago.

Why was everyone complaining last year there was no Metroid anniversary then...?

@Chrono_Cross Since everything published by Nintendo is usually released in Japan first, people tend to mark that release as a given series's debut.

Exactly. Hopefully we'll at least get something neat in August and they'll reveal it at E3.

@WaveBoy Funny, I got a very nice copy of NES Metroid about a week ago. I, too, played some 3DS Metroid, but the TV is just better.

EDIT: @pixelman Let's keep our fingers crossed!

@WaveBoy and @MetroidMasher17, Lol its funny because I'm buying Metroid on Wii Virtual Console this weekend!

The Other M style has potential. Just make some original power-ups, bosses, and locations. The locations from Other M looked like they ripped off from New Super Mario Bros. Wii because of how bland and uninteresting the places were. It didn't make you stand back in awe like you (would) had in Prime 3, with the skylines of Elysia to the ruins of Bryyo, and the robotic-like world of the Pirate Homeworld.

i think graphics and design-wise, it looked amazing. and i liked samus's design in this game more than the prime games. but you're right- the only things that need improving are adding more power-ups, bosses. and it would be nice that whoever develops this game, keeps samus's karate kicking ability from other M because that was so cool. that and make the cut scenes last no more than a few mins, or at least make them skippable.

They should give the player more freedom to move and explore. There were way too much invisible walls in Other M. Improve physics in general. Different movements should also feel more "free", and not like the game is controlling your character. You should be able to move however you like when swinging with grapple beam, etc.
