"I think they should cut back on Metroid, though."

Agreed... but just as long as they make one more Metroid game for the GBA. I want a thoroughly new GBA Metroid, like Minish Cap and of a much higher quality than Fusion. Something single-player to counter the DS's multiplayer game.

Someone's picky. There are two GBA Metroid games and they both rock. No need to release another one unless you have insanely high standards.

Sure, they rock, but Fusion was a bit too short and way too linear, and Zero was a remake. I get the feeling neither of them is representative of a GBA Metroid's true potential... certainly neither of them is as good as Super Metroid or Metroid Prime. I just have the feeling that if they made a proper sequel to Metroid Fusion on the GBA, using all the untapped potential of Samus' new Metroid powers they didn't really use in Fusion... I think I'd wet myself.

Zero is about as much of a remake as Super Metroid. It doesn't play one bit like Metroid 1.

Whether intentional or not, it was a bit too much like Super Metroid for my taste. And most of the scenarios from Metroid 1 were in there. It's a bit like MGS:TT in the sense that it was Metroid 1 with Super Metroid controls and graphics.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, in fact I liked it a lot... I just wanted something new. Some new attacks, some new powerups... something Fusion should have provided but didn't really.

welll maybe we can get a sharp looking 2.5D metroid game on the DS

Truthliesn1seyes · « **Reply #456 on:** November 15, 2004, 06:27:54 PM »

ohhhhh, 2.5 d, that'll be really interesting, wouldnt mind seeing that lol.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #457 on:** November 15, 2004, 06:35:04 PM »

2.5D Metroid?

I don't know. Maybe if it was cel-shaded... 2.5D looks crappy when it isn't cel-shaded. At least based on what we've seen so far.

I'd rather not go down that path though. 2D Metroid works and 3D Metroid works... so they should stick with 2D for the DS and 3D for the Revolution, that way everyone's happy.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #458 on:** November 15, 2004, 07:53:15 PM »

Bleh. I hate 2.5D. It takes the worst elements of 2D and 3D and mixes them together. My favourite part of 2D games is the sprite art and my favourite part of 3D games is the freedom of movement. A 2.5D game just plays like a 2D game without the super cool art. Wow. Plus it reminds me of all those crappy Playstation games that were made solely for the sake of using polygons.

It's gotten better since polygon graphics don't look like blocky crap anymore but I generally don't like it. Ikaruga and SSBM are rare exceptions.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #459 on:** November 15, 2004, 08:40:46 PM »

I'd be in Ian Sane's boat if I hadn't played Viewtiful Joe.

It could be done... I have no idea how they'd keep the Metroid feel but I'm not doubting Retro again.

MattVDB · « **Reply #460 on:** November 15, 2004, 10:22:54 PM »

Oh my goodness!! Paper Mario Bros. It's a 2.5d game, with the Paper Mario sprites. How cool would that be?

Sorry that was off topic. Echoes rocks. We all know it. I can't wait. My birthday is the 27th, so I have a feeling I won't be reading here much anymore. Spoilers are no bueno. Happy gaming ya'll.

(I just love this time of year)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE think of the territories that don't even have the game yet

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #464 on:** November 16, 2004, 07:52:56 AM »

I somehow doubt ole Chain Chomp has beat a 20+ hour game already. Silly Chain Chomp.

The main feature about 2d is the ease at which complex and accurate maneuvers can be pulled off. I don't think the grapple from Ninja Five-O would've worked in 3d.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #466 on:** November 16, 2004, 08:04:24 AM »

The game hasn't even come out at my EB yet.

Edit: I've got the game now. I hold it in my hands right now.

Let me just go on the record and state that I have never been this excited about a game, ever. I feel like a giddy little schoolgirl just before unwrapping presents on Christmas.

One thing's for sure: you're not seeing me here again until I've finished the game.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #467 on:** November 16, 2004, 10:10:38 AM »

IM WAITING, Please tell me this game is as good as I hope, please tell me its worth nightly sessions, no sleep and food.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #468 on:** November 16, 2004, 10:55:20 AM »

Makes me feel even worse about waiting until Christmas. Oh the pain. . .

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #469 on:** November 16, 2004, 11:53:14 AM »

Dammit, this game is digital crack.

I thought I had time... A whole hour passed in the blink of an eye and I have class in half an hour now. Where did the time go?

For a while at least I have to tear myself away from this game. I don't trust myself to play it and not be late to class.

I don't know about your expectations, but mine were pretty damn high (MP1 is my favorite game ever) and this game does NOT disappoint.

Edit: I thought it was one hour but apparently it was two.

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #470 on:** November 16, 2004, 12:39:49 PM »

This game blows out every other game I've played this year. Even the great and powerful Ninja Gaiden.

RoboChick2: Eekos is sitting in front of me, still wrapped. I will venture into the purple jello dimension tonight.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #472 on:** November 16, 2004, 02:57:37 PM »

I envy all of you. I'd like to make that perfectly clear. My soul rages.

enigma487 · « **Reply #473 on:** November 16, 2004, 04:25:22 PM »

I would just like to go on the record saying this game rox.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #474 on:** November 16, 2004, 06:35:34 PM »

Time for a break.

I've finally gotten past the "introductory" phase of the game, which is still extremely early, but in all... wow...
