Metroid Series Continuation
« on: December 29, 2008, 08:32:29 PM »
The Metroid Prime trilogy closed with an obvious cliffhanger. Sylux's ship follows Samus into warp drive after you complete 100% of Corruption. There can obviously be no Prime series continuation seeing as "Prime" was destroyed, along with all of the Phazon and every other metroid. As we were told there may be another instillation in the metroid series under a different name. Also thier can also be another twist. Sylux may not have been in that ship. They may incorrperate him into the possiblility of another one, mabey having his ship stolen and upgraded by some unknown enemy? You can't always focus on what nintendo says. They have a nack for confusing us.

Other than ports and remakes, the people in Japan don't know what to do with it.  It's OVER.

NO I WILL NEVER ACCEPT IT.



Its over :'( after what they were trying to do with the series I'm going to say I'm scared about any future games. Popular wisdom would say that any metroid is better than no metroid, but with this new nintendo... I don't know and no I'm not thinking about "non-gaming" crap or anything like that, obviously nintendo never loved samus like we do, thats all

Don't worry, there will be sequel to Prime 3 in the future.  Prime 3 sold over 1.5 million copies, and the series has been one of Nintendo's most popular and bestselling for the last 5 years now.  But you have to remember that Prime 3 came out only a little over a year ago and Retro stated their next game would be something other then Metroid.  So don't expect any future 3d Metroid games to appear for a few years now.

new nintendo...

Next game will be Metroid Billiards.

Samus, in morph ball mode obviously, acts as the cue ball and you ram your cue stick (aka wiimote) at her to send her flying into other balls on the table, trying to pocket them. Ridley will be the 8 ball.

I think we're well overdue for a Metroid V.  The DS has been out for four years now and still nothing about a new 2D Metroid in the original series.  IS has busted out new Advance Wars and Fire Emblem games since then but no Metroid.

I remember when Metroid Prime Hunters came out I was concerned that in Nintendo's mind that "counted" as a DS Metroid and thus we might not get a REAL Metroid on the DS.  Do those that said my worries were unfounded then still have that opinion?

We don't need a new Metroid Prime right now though.  Three games in about five years is plenty for now.  I think we can wait until next gen to get a new Metroid Prime, plus I want to see Retro do something else for a change of pace.  It's classic 2D Metroid that we've been deprived of.

Right now though I'm on pins and needles about ANY Nintendo franchise.  After Nintendo mentioned how Twilight Princess was going to be the "last Zelda of its type" I've been concerned about exactly what that means and if that will affect other Nintendo franchises as well.  Nintendo has changed.

Naah, they totally screwed the sequel chances with Fusion, unless they kick that out of the canon I don't think they can make a meaningful Metroid 5.

Another reason not to have a story continuity... Look at Mario or Zelda, noone thinks "there's no space on the timeline to fit another game".

As for the next Zelda being very different, it's probably needed. The formula is beaten down, there's not much new that can be done with it and it's too convoluted anyway. Start anew with better mechanics for the better controls.

Metroid Prime was... well... I like to think of Prime as a significant collaboration between NCL and Retro, with NCL making some major design choices that molded the Prime series into what it became. I almost want to call the Prime series a re-imagining of Metroid for the 3D age, but NOT actually essentially Metroid. Also, I can't think of anyone who's actually responsible for carrying the torch for the Metroid vision.

Kairon is totally wrong. Metroid Prime (especially the first game) IS Metroid. The isolation, exploration, backtracking, and power-ups are all Metroid, just with a different viewpoint. While a part of me would like to see a sequel to Fusion, I think the series needs to move in a different direction at this point, just like Zelda does.

When you think about it, the two franchises are surprisingly similar. It's just you out there, exploring an essentially free-roaming world, collecting upgrades and new items with which to go back to previously explored areas and find NEW items, upgrades, or areas.

Well, I'm not going to argue with you, you're the expert on this! But how do you respond to the complaints about MP3's linearity?

And also, WHO in the world will give the next Metroid game the vision and redirection that you say it needs? At least Miyamoto's still around to guide Zelda, and even though I distrust Aonouma he's at least in a position of responsibility and power over that franchise.

But who does Metroid have?

I think we're well overdue for a Metroid V.  The DS has been out for four years now and still nothing about a new 2D Metroid in the original series.  IS has busted out new Advance Wars and Fire Emblem games since then but no Metroid.

Ian, IS isn't responsible for the Metroid games.  The Metroid series was always done by Nintendo R&D1 who are now called Nintendo SPD1.  This is the same division that made all the old Wario Land titles as well.  The problem with this studio is it's very small and can only handle one project at a time.  After Metroid: Zero Mission came out, they've been working on the Wario Ware games, and have now moved on to their new series, Rhythm Tengoku.

This is why the latest Wario Land on the Wii was done by Good Feel instead of SPD1, because SPD1 was busy with Rhythm Tengoku DS.  Of course considering how good a job Good Feel did with Wario, I wouldn't mind it if Nintendo allowed them to make a 2d Metroid as well.  I mean, the Wario Land games in a way are similar to the Metroid games, and since the Good Feel has shown they can deliver a great Wario Land title, it would be that much of a stretch to think they could also deliver a great Metroid title. 

Plus since Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission were both made made on the Wario Land 4 engine, so why not make a 2d Metroid on the Wii using the Wario Land Shake engine?

But who does Metroid have?

Yoshio Sakamoto is still very much alive.  People need to realize, he the true creator of the series.  Gunpei Yokoi was only the producer who over looked the projects because he was in charge of Nintendo R&D1 at the time, but the man who actually directed and did the majority of the work was Yoshio Sakamoto.  Not to mention, Super Metroid which is considered the best, was ALL Sakamoto.  Yokoi had barely any involvement in Super Metroid's creation since he was busy designing the Virtual Boy at the time.  Which left Sakamoto to be in charge of pretty much the entire game with Makoto Kanoh helping out.

Oh, and Yoshio Sakamoto played a big role in Metroid Prime 1's development by overlooking things and giving major input as well.  Metroid Prime 2 and 3 on the other hand, he played a very minor role in their development.  Which might explain why Prime 1 is the most like the 2d Metroids while Prime 2 and 3 started to differ more.

I don't know who could do the series justice anymore. Nintendo seems to be moving away from actual games now...

As for Corruption's linearity, I can't defend it. Corruption is an incredibly enjoyable game despite that factor, though. Of the three Prime games, it feels the most divergent. I also found it bizarre that the upgraded map system pretty much told you where all the item upgrades are. It was nice, but it limited the exploration factor significantly.

I really would like to see another 2D game, though. Like I said way back in the Metroid special, I'd like it to be set in Samus' past, back when she was living with the Chozo.
