@Doofenshmirtz People are not allowed to do everything in their power to discourage others from liking a game though, which is what a lot of people have been doing lately.
This is amazing attention to detail. They did not have to go through the process of programming this one animation, but they did anyway! Kudos to MercurySteam for their hard work! I'm really excited for this game!
@NoxAeturnus I do think that Bayonetta 3 was announced too early. However, Metroid Prime 4 was announced early because it was a necessity. Back then, not only were Metroid fans uncertain about the series, but there was also kind of an anti-3DS sentiment during the early days of the Switch because it was thought it took away development resources for the Switch. So only announcing Samus Returns back then would've garnered some backlash.
Also you have to remember that they didn't know they would have to restart development back then. That's what made it take longer than they initially knew.
It’s a brand new HD from the ground up non-remake Metroid game. Since it’s developed by the same studio that did Samus Returns, it’ll also most likely take around 30 hours to complete. If you don't think that's a game with $60, I don't know what to tell you. The game has already made it in Amazon's best sellers list, so it's clear they made the right decision and that the doubters' words are futile.
It was genuinely hilarious to see Nintendo haters try to discredit the fact that Nintendo got the biggest viewership. Especially those from Twitter and Reddit. I hope those people stay salty, your tears are delicious!
@MS7000 Hey man, I know we’ve had some rough interactions in the past. But I just want to say, it seems you’ve greatly changed since then. It’s really inspiring and I just wanna say I’ve definitely noticed. Good job man. 👍🏻
@BloodNinja Do you think it’s rational that you immediately discredit a good video game developer just because there were some things you didn’t agree with? Even if you really hate the counter for some reason, Samus Returns was a very competently crafted game made with the utmost care. And like I said before, it’s something they’ve vastly improved from the last game.
If you watch the treehouse footage, you’ll see they really did improve the counter move to have extra mobility. So I wasn’t making anything up as you said.
@BloodNinja You don’t understand where I’m coming from, and you ignore all of my arguments, which doesn’t make it easy to cooperate with you either. And what does “brand loyal” even mean? You’re making up phrases just for the sake of calling me something.
@BloodNinja Because you come here just to try and polarize the comment section with your completely misinformed take on the game. This thread was going so good until you came here with your whining. Then you procede to act as if Mercury Steam is a horrible developer and that Samus Returns is a completely bad game all because of a move that you didn’t like. Even then, they’ve improved the move so that it doesn’t break the pace of the game, but of course you choose to ignore that.
All I want to do is be excited for one of Nintendo’s games. When I see childish comments like yours that try to rain on other people’s excitement, it derails my excitement for an amazing game. Every time I try to go back to being excited for the game, I have your slanderous words repeat in my head as I try to be excited. That’s why I resent people like you who have nothing to do but to complain about Nintendo’s announcements even if they’re amazing.
@BloodNinja They took the time to make a brand new 2D Metroid game with the same developer that made the fantastic Samus Returns and all you can do is discredit the great game they made and refuse to give this new one a chance. They listened to the feedback about the counter move, and they made it have extra mobility so that you don’t have to stop in your tracks in order to execute it. It’s also not required to defeat every enemy. On top of that, they made the game look great and fun to experience.
All of this and you’re STILL unwilling to give it a chance just because of one single aspect that they’ve already addressed. People like you are why I don’t consider myself part of the Metroid fan base anymore.
@fafonio I actually didn't know they made GX. Now that you mention it, it would make more sense to bring them back for a new game. Still looking forward to potential new Nintendo games developed by indie devs though.
This is really cool! Hopefully this leads to Nintendo outsourcing more of their IPs to indie developers. A new F-Zero made by the Fast RMX team would be fantastic!
@Heavyarms55 This game wouldn't work as DLC because Super Mario Party requires a single joycon, and this doesn't. Not to mention the items cost differently in both games.
So many people on this comment section who can't understand the fact that this wouldn't work as DLC. Especially because SPM requires a single joycon whereas this one doesn't and people still throw a temper tantrum. What a disaster.
I’m an aspiring video game developer who wants to work for Nintendo in the future, so this is perfect for me! Especially since I need some more programming experience. Thanks Nintendo!
Janet Hsu if you’re reading this, I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Ace Attorney be set in Los Angeles. That setting made me feel more connected with the series and its characters more than before. It’s no doubt the best decision you’ve ever made. Keep up the great work!
I’m really hoping that the new 3D Donkey Kong game rumor is true! Donkey Kong is my favorite fictional character and it’s his 40th anniversary this year! So please Nintendo! 🙏🏻
I really wish we got a Zelda game that looks like this. It looked so freaking beautiful. A Twilight Princess sequel that looks like this has been one of my dream games for years.
I really hope this is evidence of a new DK game! Especially since Donkey Kong is my favorite fictional character! This year is his 40th anniversary, after all.
That employee literally left Retro Studios before the Wii U was even released. I don't know why some people are taking this as a definitive deconfirmation of Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch.
I would like the removal of Twitter as a whole. That site is complete trash, filled with nothing but bullies, and has only done bad for the world. Twitter needs to die ASAP.
Very pleasurable people you guys have in your comments section. They are taking the news in such a respectful manner! /s
Edit: Actually, after actually scrolling through and reading all the comments, most people here are in fact reacting respectfully. There's only a handful of comments that are not. I apologize for my kneejerk reaction.
I’m very glad Doug will be hosting the E3 direct this year! I’ve really wanted him to make his presence known, so that we can build a connection with him just like we did with Reggie. I’m looking forward to seeing him!
@Zorox88 What bad things has Nintendo in this specific event? Where in the article does it insinuate Nintendo is "bad to their fans"? If they were "bad to their fans" why are all their games made with their fans enjoyment in mind? It seems to me you're just looking at any reason to hate Nintendo. Especially when you accuse them of giving you an abusive relationship as if they have any bad impact in your life as much as an abusive partner. Cringe.
As soon as I saw this article, I had a feeling you'd throw shade at Twilight Princess for no reason and I was right. Twilight Princess is the one of the best Zelda games ever, on par with Wind Waker, and you still felt the need to compare it to WW for no reason at all.
Twilight Princess one of the best if not the best Zelda of all time and people like you are not going to take away from that fact.
Donkey Kong is my favorite fictional character so this is EXTREMELY EXCITING! I'm looking forward to going to this one and the one in Florida, where I live! This is a literal dream come true!!

Re: Metroid Dread Tops Amazon's "Best Sellers" Chart
It's so satisfying to see haters be proven wrong yet again.
Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

Re: Nintendo's Official Website Reveals Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope, Coming To Switch In 2022

Thanks for opening Pandora’s box for Nintendo haters on this site though, we really needed more of that /s
Re: The Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword amiibo Will Cost More Than Regular Figures
All these people complaining to the death, but you don't even have to buy it. People seriously get desperate to complain about everything.
