Oops.

So Metroid Prime 2 is in an advanced stage of development and is due out on the GCN in 2004 now? I dont know what to believe anymore, i take everything i read from Cube Europe with a grain of salt.

E3 shall have the answer. *waits*

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #226 on:** January 16, 2004, 06:05:08 AM »

Eh? So which are they saying?

Either way, it's a win-win situation for me...Either get it early and be happy, or get it later(with it looking and possibly playing better) and be happy... ^_^

So...N5 is coming out this year? Would they wait 'til E3 to tell us about the N5 when they could be plugging its release for the half year they're missing out on? Maybe they just don't want the Cube to look dead. Which it isn't.

It probably wont make any sense to release the new System so early. You would anger alot of your own fanbase if you did. IT makes more sense 2005/06. That news just means MP2 will be for the GCN. Which makes sense to me. It needs a big title for this winter season.

I really trust C-E , they did state it as a rumor and not a fact. If only other sites would tell us some of the rumours they have heard.

I'll bet WW's sequel is coming out next Christmas too. It's a little too early to be worrying about that now though.

it doesnt make sense for nintendo to push this back for n5 THAT WOULD BE STUPID .the cube has sold loads since the price drop so the least nintendo should do is bring some good games out for this system b4 they release the next one . ive only just bought this one and now they are stoping the only game i'm looking forward to what a ****.
never mind there is always xbl to give me my fix of good games

Berny · « **Reply #232 on:** January 17, 2004, 08:04:02 AM »

Don't worry. Odds are, only half that rumor is true. The half about it being done late this year. They've been working on it a while and had the graphical engine from its predecessor. N5 however remains shrowded in mystery and we don't know if it's even coming out this year. I'd bet your next two paychecks that its Cube bound despite the rumors running rampant on the web. The Dojo reported something similar.

IGNCube talked about the rumor in their latest mailbag:

hey matt, great site. I just read that raven blade is not only coming back to cube, but that it's coming this year! Awesome news! But the bad news is that Metroid prime 2 is now on 'N5.' Have you heard the same?

Matt respond: These are false rumors. The site that posted them later published a story that strongly contradicted them. As I understand it, the guys at Retro Studios are devoted to the development of Metroid Prime 2, which will release for GameCube later this year. Raven Blade was previously cancelled. Perhaps work will start up on it again in the future -- we can always hope -- but I've not heard anything that suggests this is the case.

Berny · « **Reply #234 on:** January 17, 2004, 08:28:26 AM »

Yahoo! I hope IGN is right. This may be IGN's redeeming moment.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #235 on:** January 17, 2004, 09:59:46 AM »

I think I am starting to like IGN again , look at the news links on thier page ...noone else has that sorta info.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #236 on:** January 17, 2004, 02:08:35 PM »

Redeeming, nothing...It's all just speculation...They have no idea what's true and what's not...

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #237 on:** January 17, 2004, 02:28:13 PM »

No, Berny, IGN is beyond redeeming- look at what they chose as the biggest surprise out of Nintendo on the awards:

Biggest Surprise
Nintendo's New Philosophy

Why we were shocked: IGNcube was not only surprised in 2003 by Nintendo's new (or old) philosophy -- we were shocked. After reporting its first ever posted loss, Nintendo announced that it plans to "go back to the basics." The company's new focus is to develop software that is easily accessible for gamers of all ages and that requires no prior experience to play. To help push this simplicity concept, Nintendo also stated that it would continue to rely on established franchises and explore new connectivity features between the GameCube and Game Boy Advance to help draw in a wider audience. IGNcube was wholly surprised at this statement because this philosophy rubs completely against the current trend in the industry -- complex games are growing in popularity and have proven more successful. Nintendo has had a lackluster grip on the market, and this announcement assures that the company will continue to behave has it has instead of adapting to what gamers are looking for.

Runner-Up: Nintendo cryptically announces it will release a new product for 2004.

Wait, so Nintendo releasing stellar games and improving sales some 60% is a bad thing?

"...and this announcement assures that the company will continue to behave has it has instead of adapting to what gamers are looking for."

I would rather not have "Peach and Daisy Half-Naked Volleyball XTREME!!!11" thank you very much...

Mario · « **Reply #239 on:** January 17, 2004, 04:14:38 PM »

Yeah, i really think that IGN need to fire all their Cube staff, i despise them all with a passion, only just lately have i realised that, but hey, back to Metroid Prime 2.

I hope Metroid Prime 2 has Super Metroid as an unlockable, just like Metroid Prime had the original NES Metroid on it. I've always wanted to play Super Metroid.

CYBERSTAR · « **Reply #240 on:** January 18, 2004, 10:08:54 PM »

prime didnt have the nes version as an unlockable that was only put there to make stupid ppl go out and buy a gba and fusion

No, no volleyball, thanks. Instead, it should be pool/billiards in short-shorts.

is that really so??

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #243 on:** January 19, 2004, 04:08:10 AM »

Sorry, but it's the opposite...Only stupid people didn't go out and buy Fusion...

Polemistis · « **Reply #244 on:** January 19, 2004, 11:55:08 AM »

No, no, it's stupid people who went out to buy fusion and realized they needed a GBA.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #245 on:** January 19, 2004, 12:08:28 PM »

It doesn't matter HOW you got the original Metroid in Metroid Prime, the fact remains that it WAS an unlockable.

Swordsplay · « **Reply #246 on:** January 20, 2004, 04:17:32 PM »

Well, in my opinion, it should not be held back, it should be for the GCN. Plus, im sick of waiting.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #247 on:** February 01, 2004, 10:42:42 AM »

Everybody do the BUMP! I just got MP today, and finally discovered what I was missing out on. What I really like about it is more than an FPS, it's a first-person adventure where you happen to shoot things. And that rather than levels, it's all one big world to run around on. It's tight-o grande

I'm only at the part where you have to scan those four runes (can't...friggin...find...last...rune, dammit...), but already I'm awaiting Metroid Prime 2, especially for that new multiplayer mode. I haven't been keeping up with this thread at all, as I had not realized the glories of Metroid till today, so could someone tell me if a release date has been announced, or any major details have been given? THANKS!

Oh, and someone can PM me and tell me where that last rune is lol

revolg_98 · « **Reply #248 on:** February 03, 2004, 12:56:27 PM »

I'm guessing you've never beaten the game with 100%

Out of the remains of Metroid Prime comes an arm like Samus's in the phazon suit.

revolg_98 · « **Reply #249 on:** February 03, 2004, 01:11:36 PM »

Talon IV was not the only planet the space pirates did research on and some phazon was shipped of planet in other ships so new enemies and old are still possible. I think we're done with Talon IV though
