Imagine Samus with Peach's voice.

And imagine Samus talking as much as Link did in Ocarina of Time.

Samus would say:

"SAMUS"

and i think later she would say:

"SAMUS"

WOW, THAT'S QUITE A BIT OF VOICE WERK THERE

Both? Brawl I can see being delayed, but Mario Galaxy, no way...Nintendo will have at LEAST two major titles for the holiday season...

one of these three triple A titles (Metroid, SMGalaxy, SSBB) has to come out before November right?

Both meaning we won't see Galaxy AND Brawl, not neither Galaxy or Brawl.

Reggie said "after March." So if this is like the Wii launch date it won't be till November, if it's like the Christmas "Surprise" We'll get it three months after everywhere else.

*prays for a May release against all hope*

Oh god, this brings back memories of fanboy delusions at earlier than possible release dates, like when I thought the Wii was a June launch.

RELAX GUYS, I just phoned Reggie and he said, "Pokemon, Wario Ware, Wii Play, and Mario Party 8 will be out from now to March. Everything else is coming out after that." So we're going to get everything else by April!!! We just don't know which April.

Mario · « **Reply #283 on:** January 05, 2007, 12:19:25 PM »

I just think the game will completely bomb if it doesn't have a holiday season behind it, like Metroid Hunters but worse. Mario Galaxy can stand on its own and still be alive during the holiday season so that's a better bet to release earlier. When the games will actually be ready though, who knows.

Kairon · « **Reply #284 on:** January 05, 2007, 12:52:45 PM »

Metroid Prime 2 was released in the Holiday season against Halo 2. We saw how sales of that shaped up.

What makes you think MP3 will do better this holiday season against Halo 3?

MP3 FOR EASTER HOLIDAY, THANKS

Mario · « **Reply #286 on:** January 05, 2007, 01:19:46 PM »

I don't think that made a difference. Most people I know who bought the first Prime found it too obscure / boring to give the second one a chance, and Echoes was the same thing but with a boring coat of dark purple (not that it wasn't great). However it still sold decently, over 500k is a success and MP3 should do at least that.

Prime 3s control scheme could also make Halo 3s seem archaic, but I really don't like comparing them because I still see Metroid as an adventure game.

utarefsoN · « **Reply #287 on:** January 05, 2007, 02:20:55 PM »

Ill take a june release. It would make the most excellent birthday gift. The game will sell well no matter when its released if FOCKING nintendo will advertise the dam game. Halo only sells well becuase microsoft drops multimillions on ad campaigns. Anyonw rememeber when the first halo can out. I saw Halo commercials literally a year after the game was released. Halo 2 received similar treatment. Everywhere Halo. I have never in my life seen a Metroid COmmercial. EVER. I may have seen one in a magazine somewhere. If Nintendo makes gonja hype for MP3 then it will sell well, even if released in June. If they keep advertizing in Christmas the game will sell well over a million. But its nintendo so MP3 is focked. It will be Eternal Darkness 2007, though maybe to a lesser extent.

Mario · « **Reply #288 on:** January 05, 2007, 02:30:32 PM »

Metroid Primes original commercial is one of the best videogame commercials i've ever seen, and Nintendo spent a lot of money on it.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #289 on:** January 06, 2007, 06:19:34 AM »

Metroid Prime has one of the best commercials I've ever seen. It was spectacular. Even the writing was great. "The cold silence of space only punctuates the feeling of death that emanates from this virtual and lifeless planet." I memorized it, it's that awesome. (Actually I don't think that's exactly it, but it's very close. Awesome commercial)

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #290 on:** January 06, 2007, 06:48:26 AM »

I watched that commercial again and again...

As for the subject, I'd love to see Retro make a follow-up game which uses the Metroid engine and control scheme for a game which is more along the lines of what people would consider a true Halo killer (multiplayer deathmatch, CTF, vehicles, etc.), but I firmly believe that Metroid is not and SHOULD not be forced to be that game.

utarefsoN · « **Reply #291 on:** January 06, 2007, 11:15:33 AM »

I wish i seen the commercial..........but i didnt and that was the point of the commercial. Who cares how much they spent on the actual commercial, when it never aired. most of the The cost in ads is the airtime, not in prodution.

now could i see these commericials you people are talking about. I would like to see them too despite being 3 and 5 years later.

Requiem · « **Reply #292 on:** January 06, 2007, 11:41:32 AM »

I don't know who posted this....but these ideas are pretty badass

.

Seriously though, do you think Retro is thinking as revolutionary as we are?

Samus was fighting this giant boss, whose attack was to suck things in (including samus). As the beast prepares the attack, Samus would have to first grapple beam herself to a hook. Then as she's literally hanging horizontal to the ground, you have to manuever your cannon in the general direction of the beast and charge and fire a super missle. Meanwhile, your view is going hay-wire as you shake with turbulence.

I think that would be a pretty cool boss.

Or What if:

Samus grapples to an object and the only way to blow up said object is to aim at your grapple beam and shoot a charged Wave beam at it. The beam then clings to your grapple and follows it like a trail of lit gun powder.

Or What if:

There is a boss that travels furiously fast, is enourmously huge, and is the first water boss in Metriod history (i think). Samus must grapple to it's back and as she hangs on for dear life, water ski as she tries to kill the damn thing! Knowing Retro, it would be crazy! Water would spray in your face, obstructing your view.

Or What if:

Samus obtains the ability to use bombs outside of her ball state. She grabs a bomb with her left hand and with the nunchuck, chucks it where ever she likes. There are two settings for the bomb: Gravity and Anti-Gravity. Gravity acts like a normal grenade, while Anti-gravity floats upwards very slowly. While Gravity bombs blow up on impact, Anti-gravity bombs must be shot. Anti-Gravity bombs also cause a much bigger explosion.

Or What if:

One of Samus's grapple beam upgrades turns it into a laserbeam type sword. Not neccessarily to attack with since that is not Metriod at all, but more to cut through vegitation, carve through blast-proof windows, and things of that nature (another way to advance exploration basically).

Or What if:

One of Samus's grapple beam upgrades allows for more than one grapple. This would be used to pull multiple triggers (similar to how Zelda's boomerang can lock on to multiple items, and used in basically the same fashion; i.e. puzzle-solving, boss-battle, taming a gaint beast to fly or swim). OOOOOOOOH!!!! That would be amazing! Imagine taming a giant manitee to explore an ocean. You can still shoot with the Wiimote. The nunchuck, however, would steer the beast (or it could steer itself, probably better). Or what if you tamed a giant pterodactyl to fly and access a new area, only to be shot at by Flying Space Pirates. That sounds like a sh!tload of fun, especially if the beast reacted to the shooting and swooped and tried to dodge.

Alright, that's enough for one day. You guys get the jist of it anyways...

"There is a boss that travels furiously fast, is enourmously huge, and is the first water boss in Metriod history (i think)."

Someone didn't play Metroid Prime 2, it seems...

Requiem · « **Reply #294 on:** January 06, 2007, 11:53:28 AM »

And that is relevant to the discussion, how?

I'm poor...what can I say?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #295 on:** January 06, 2007, 12:07:54 PM »

It means you should play it!

I personally think ideas like calling the ship for combat are really unique, and I don't think Retro is going to stop at that...

Requiem · « **Reply #296 on:** January 06, 2007, 12:35:33 PM »

Is it for combat? I thought it was a means to explore further?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #297 on:** January 06, 2007, 12:39:12 PM »

From what I've read, you can call on it for combat support at times...

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #298 on:** January 06, 2007, 02:20:42 PM »

A few of those boss suggestions have elements that obstruct your view and hinder your perception. While I think it can be really interesting, most people are prone to complaining about those sorts of things, calling them mistakes rather than brilliant details that more closely recreate the actual sensation of fighting ALIEN MONSTERS.

Requiem · « **Reply #299 on:** January 06, 2007, 03:40:52 PM »

You think?

I think people would flock to that; mentioning how cool it is in reviews and the like.
