We're any improvements made to the battle mechanics? Like is there any reason I would want to fight and not save powerful stickers for bosses?

People are annoyed by rumors nintendo, announce the day you'll unveil it before your fans lose any interest. It's gearing up to be another Wii u with people not knowing what your new system is. The rumors cause more confusion as to what the system ultimately is and why it matters.

Primeape would fit in so well, but out of 700+ they probably won't be looking anymore towards gen 1. Anything new and unexpected would be a welcome addition. Just please no more legends...

I can't wait. Glad to see it looks like the mapping system and demon negotiations are improved and less random. The mapping system was a huge headache at times.

The delays aren't a big deal. I never expected their release this year and it's still early 2017. Pleasantly nice to have another mobile game from nintendo even though I'm not too big on 2d sidescrollers myself.

It still looks mediocre at best. Not a bad bargain bin game, but I wouldn't pay full retail.

Not too much longer now...or maybe not. Its August and still left wondering what Nintendo is trying to sell me.

@VanillaLake I've looked through most of them now. Looks like hasn't been too fun on your end. The reason i acted the way i did was i saw ur comment and rooted it as one of the main problems. Don't want people to think i'm trolling them or anything. But as someone whose not a metroid fan, its fun lurking, reading through comments and people's opinions on them. Sorry again though

@VanillaLake I thought it was silly that Demise was trying to flame you so i was making fun of him. If people try it, i like to shame them for flaming. Looks like it was taken the opposite way. Anyways my apologies, my intent was not to put to offend you or anything. I saw an insult and i had reacted. But Onion was right. Clearly i overreacted and doesn't need further explanation. I've done what i said not to and derailed the chat enough.

@VanillaLake You can't say a single thing without somehow offending someone now can you lol

@VanillaLake 10/10 response

@MarcelRguez Pretty much. Guess i'm a hypocrite. Not that it makes @VanillaLake more right.

@VanillaLake Read above, I said he wasn't innocent. I am repeating your comments because you act like you weren't included and I've already explained how. That included reading your comments. You were the one who made them, and insulted him as well. You're guilty, he's guilty, guess ill look at everyone else in this thread to see who is guilty.
Nice job playing victim at the end of that message. It's so unfair that i read your rude messages in one post for the chat to see. It's so unfair what demise did to me. And nice job not answering how you tried to get heated in a finally peaceful chat.
Edit: The whole reason i see you're arguing with me is that I said your comment was rude and you didn't like it. And by arguing with you and calling your comment unneeded i'm somehow defending what he's said to you.

@VanillaLake To be honest, you don't look like someone who can be criticized well. I'm not referencing any of the past posts. Just the one's that i have had with you. Saying probably mirroring his own complex, you can't honestly believe that it's not rude to another user. If you're making remarks about another user, you are being rude. That is not a personal attack. That is not name calling. I am respectfully asking you to use your words better.

And im glad to see that chat has calmed down. You did nothing, but inflame it and make it worse along with demise. "Probably mirroring his own complex." Chat had finally started to settle down and after my comment. Why did you try to invoke an action from him and continue arguing? I'm starting to think your intentions are not really good. I defended a user, then myself because you can't take criticism. You got heated and reacted to me and demise and tried to act like i'm making chat a worse place. I wonder who is guilty.

@VanillaLake Even calling you bad names...?
Not called you any names mate, not you. Just your comment is rude. Your comment, and your attitude was disrespectful.
That's the only thing i can imagine, unless you can explain it.
From my standpoint, it just looks like you're trying to act defensive and act like you haven't done anything wrong.

Just reading through your comments.
Called yourself not pretentious and immediately called him pretentious.
Called him a 5 yr old troll and compared him to kirk and then mentioning intelligence like that's going to matter. All it does is invoke a heated reply. Goes back to what i said in my last comment. Arguing just gets derailed into a circle of name calling while still trying to prove one's own point. Then a sheep which i don't really get the point of calling someone a fanboy. Got called a nindy fanboy not too long ago, but i'm just a fan of video games.
Wasn't trying to put anyone on blast, but without looking much more, it's clear it wasn't just one user.
So is this the whole story? Well for your argument anyways. I am sure demise isn't innocent and that other people were guilty of this. My comment was directed at everyone to chill out and not even bothering giving them a response to try to prove yourself. And don't act like your explanation was a mere explanation. Was clearly ill mannered towards demise.

@VanillaLake And you did so rudely, last part of what you said was completely unneeded. And even if someone calls you ignorant or doesn't like your opinion, then who cares? You don't need to reply the same way. Like seriously, we are all (mostly) adults. No need to reply with name-calling or insulting the other person's intelligence.

"Probably mirroring his own complex."
Well i disagree i guess, was an obvious jab at someone and it was entirely unneeded.

@VanillaLake Ohoho nice zinger! Glad you could use my comment to be uncivil and rude. That kind of comment is what i'm talking about. I don't get the point honestly. Being disrespectful to other people doesn't make anyone's point more valid.

Guys whats with the arguing. Samus recently was playable in her own Nintendo licensed game. The game was called smash bros 4 and she is a great c+ character. I recommend try playing that. it even has metroids as enemies that you have to fight through. You're welcome; now feel free to use self control and not prattle on about which users have the lowest intelligence.

RIP

@Bolt_Strike No @-DEMISE- stated that as the popular opinion. Games appeal to different people, but the majority believe it is a great remake. Can't really deny its renowned reception, even if you believe its mediocre.

Hoping the chinese leaks are indeed real. Recycling the same formula of beat gym ===> defeat elite four got old after generation 3.

@Lyokira Sticker star was a huge step back. There are many reasons i didn't enjoy it besides not being an rpg. But, I'll can start with the battle system. It returned to its typical turn based combat (which was nice), and removed all experience points replacing them with coins. This effectively made combat entirely pointless and a waste of time. With buying stickers with coins, and using stickers in combat, there is no incentive to attack anything besides bosses.

And attacking/defeating bosses was incredibly easy once you found powerful stickers and stocked up with what it gives you throughout the world. The only reason you fought bosses was to progress through the story.
And...the story. It was easily one of the most uninspired lazy attempts i have seen. Mario stories are pretty stereotypical (peach kidnap by bowser go save her), but past entries have proven that it can be more than that. Embark on grand adventure, save the world etc. And the worlds were filled with personality and landscapes. It was fun exploring and meeting new characters and gaining new allies with you. It included extra side quests and many new characters to interact with. Sticker star was so generic. It didn't add anything new or try to expand upon itself in any way. Every character is a boring red toad. And the world was dissolved into stages and was no longer open. Not to forget, the almost zero amount of dialogue after the opening scene.

The new game looks like an improvement i can agree with you. Although, I can only see color splash ending up just as mediocre. It kept its horrid combat system and its linear progression (advance through levels). Paper aesthetic looks excellent, but it seems thats all Nintendo believes the series to be. I'm hoping i am wrong and that it's better than my expectations, but I'm not expecting much. It seems mario/luigi has replaced it has the sole rpg.

@beautifulstrong This article sure is old. Glad you could think of nothing better than stopping by to leave an extra comment adding nothing beneficial, but a rude passive aggressive post.

@Yorumi It's a cheap title to add to the wii u's catalog of games and also a reason to justify buying amiibo. Main series Animal Crossing has much more mass market appeal than metroid. That's pretty given. Heck, they even started developing a mobile game for it.
And i don't see any reason they'd make animal crossing for the wii u with the NX coming unless its a dual release.

@Yorumi Less resources go into making a cheap game. It's not even an actual animal crossing game. The 3ds market is much larger than the wii u and has more potential sales.

@Yorumi Do not really see its relevance. I just saw it as a cheap AC title used to advertise amiibo. An extra title basically like Mario Tennis ultra smash was. A lot more work goes into metroid than into a cheap board game. I feel like these discussions are just going back in circles now.

@Yorumi Nintendo of course still looks at fan feedback and I'm sure they are aware of the negative feedback it is getting. Pretty sure Reggie has compared it's initial reception to windwaker, but that could have been codename steam instead. But fans act like this is the worse thing in the world and hate the game for looking way too different from what they wanted.

Feedback factors in but their main focus is how it is going to sell. I am sure this is the reason the wii u never received its main series title. It would've sold next to nothing and it didn't make sense from a business standpoint, no matter how much fans wanted. Launching it on the 3ds makes more sense from their standpoint. From what ive seen, this game has more of a chance on appealing to casual consumers with a mobile shooter crave and some few metroid fans (in metroid universe and all).

@nab1 I would imagine not haha

And plus voicing your dissatisfaction and outrage won't do anything to change the game or Nintendo's mind. Like i said earlier, If you don't like the direction, do not support it. Sales are the biggest way you can voice your opinions to Nintendo.

"It's like children complaining about not getting their candy of choice."
If it's bad candy, you either still accept it and swallow it down or reject it and cough it out

The best way to show you don't like the game or its misdirection is not to support it. Just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.

@Yorumi Reminds me of how Paper Mario has become and its shift away from being an rpg to "action adventure." sigh

@Kirk The community guidelines state you need to be at least 13 to have an account. For your sake, i hope you are not older than that.

@Kirk Was that an argument? I guess by that logic you are a soured disappointed nintendo hating crying fanboy as evident from your first post.
Like it or not, Nintendo has all rights to do whatever they want with their series. And they couldn't do anything on fanart? Not to long ago Nintendo copyrighted images on tumblr because they disliked the inappropriate depictions of their characters.
I guess he can fight it all he wants but its not going to do him much. I don't see nintendo suddenly changing their minds.
Oh and saying that Nintendo is in the right (which they are) doesn't mean you agree with their every decision. That's just silly logic.

Oh and no, i don't play only nintendo nor do i agree with everything they do as a business. I have a vita and ps4 as well not that it should matter. Name-calling people for any reason is sad and shows the other person's intelligence. It doesn't do anything to help your argument. There's no reason to get heated by someone having an opinion. Although, you were pretty upset from looking at your first comment i imagine. My comment as Sega was more of a jab at them as a company; try learning from their mistakes and not using them as a model on what how to do right things. My advice, stay off the internet.

Hmm...looking at some of the public fan outcry here makes me kinda glad i never got into metroid

Edit: @dronesplitter Not really. Was making of a joke of the people who were outraged this happened when this was obviously going to happen. And i guess if i spent money on federation force, i could support it and help nintendo make many future sequels to it.

@Kirk That's a bit of an overreaction. Like many people have said already, its nintendos ip to do whatever they want with it, even to their fans displeasure. And um Sega as an example does not really help your argument lol.
And im not entirely sure if nintendolife's guidelines allow you to post links.

Still hoping tracking gets fixed/improved someday.

@-DEMISE- I was merely making light of the situation with a little joke. Not to be mistaken, was also followed up by seriously and its not surprising.

Shame on the fans, making better games than nintendo. Seriously though, this was sadly expected.

Im curious as to how its going to appeal to casuals. Not that this possible list is bad, but 7 of the 10 games here were on the wii u and it had little mass market appeal.

Mother 3!!
....bah its not a realistic wish but please..

@BensonUii If it didn't work, i don't see why they don't try to fix it. I'm hoping as more updates come out, they'll try to continue improving itself. Since its based off catching pokemon in the world, having a way to track easily is essential and getting closer to each pokemon feels very rewarding for when you finally catch the bugger. If they communicated better and explained what they were focusing on it wouldve helped a lot. I remember they called it confusing when its just niantic not communicating and confusing fans.

@BensonUii It still "works" but its much less user friendly and twice as difficult to find a nearby pokemon. The problem is that instead of working to improve their own game and tracking, they completely removed the 3 steps while also shutting down 3rd parties like pokevision. Which is fine since they dont want people "cheating" but they have made tracking much less accurate and less accessible. Causes more frustration than fun.

Instead of possible games, Id like Nintendo to finally unveil what the NX is. They havent even given a date to their fans on when it will eventually be announced. I expect a mario game to of course be announced but i still have my doubts if its a 3d mario fans have been waiting for. Ugh. im sick of rumors.

But, but theres a muk inside!

Havent tried it and dont feel like im missing out on anything. Game seems like it get boring after 2 hours. Cant complain about it being free though.

@rjejr And also the fact that Monolith Soft is assisting in development.

Traditional gamers? As in retro or casual? The game is clearly made to be enjoyable by all people, you can do almost anything and go at any pace you want.

Well as long as i can long in, not like using PTC is an alternative.
