I don't think the ending of Fusion makes it that hard to think up a sequel. Just introduce a new parasitic substance AGAIN, maybe have the federation as an enemy instead of an ally (not that it matters much, they never seem to do anything in the games), you made Metroid 5.

Personally after Metroid Fusion.  The story I would use is that the parasites fused with the suit began to eat and destroy Samus's control of the suit and she loses control and is forced to destory the suit.  This unfortunately happens at the worst time, in a middle of a mission.  

Now she must hunt down a spare suit on the planet and upgrade to the point she can accomplish her mission.

Add in the new bounty hunters trying to hunt down her spare suit parts as well, and trying to kill her...and you have a story with several plot points and twists.

Best of all, you can play as Samus in a brand new light, as a human FIRST.  She may find a basic suit first...and then you graphically represent her armor forming on her as she gains more powers.  (Gravity jumps can be represented by her robotic boots-legs.)

I really like that idea because I hate the new suit, it looks like rubber, and Id love nothing more for it than to be destroyed by this parasites, as long as the new suit goes back to the shiny metal I like so much.

I still need to get fusion, is simply imposible to find around here though

There are no parasites left in her, remember? The vaccine removes them and makes her immune to any later infection. She's supposed to have mutated during the infection but when you die in the game she still has a human form. Perhaps she could end up being more like a Metroid, having to feed off the life force of other beings to both survive and produce power for attacks. Not just absorbing parasites or other remains of enemies, getting close to harmless creatures and sucking them dry.

Well, I certainly have a place on my person she could happily feed upon if she would care to do so.

And she would care to do so.

It is clearly win-win.

I don't think it matters where a metroid attaches to its victim. And I don't think it's painless to have your soul ripped out by such a creature.

I did read through the thread. There were more interesting bits in the 2009 thread for Metroid Dread

https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=28494

IGN: [Laughing] We guess that answers it then. Okay, we have to ask about Metroid Dread. It popped up on an internal Nintendo release list awhile back and we haven't heard anything about it since.

Yoshio Sakamoto: This is quite awhile ago. A few E3s back. I can only say right now that this is Other M, it is not Metroid Dread. But as a concept the Metroid Dread idea does still exist within my mind so maybe sometime in the future I will be able to bring that to you.

IGN: Are you burned out on the prospect of doing another 2D Metroid, or does the possibility still excite you, maybe for WiiWare or DSiWare, if nothing else?

Yoshio Sakamoto: It's not as though my team or myself have grown tired of creating 2D games, but I think it's all what the concept is, what the game design is, and what best suits that whether it's on the Wii or DS. So moving forward, if an idea comes up that is best suited for DS then we'll pursue that.

Sounds pretty non-concrete to me. :/


But it felt like Nintendo did more of a bump than I did.

As far as ending in a weird place. Khush it's a matter of semantics. The thread never ended, it just went on hiatus. Just like the game. I'm sure there are some people on these boards that are even at age 20 still too young to understand this freakout by Arlo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVH04K63NL8

While my reaction wasn't as big as Arlo's I did yell "yeaaaaash!!!" at my TV when the Dread title card appeared.

  I myself am hoping for a 2-D with 3-D graphics game. 

I guess Mr. Bloober got their wish with Other M.


Also what a trip back to memory lane with these older posters. Bill, vudu, Hostal Creation and mantidor.

Perm, Ario is one of my fave YTers not only for their reactions but their long form deep dives into games.  Their Breath of the Wild video is one of my faves.



That being said I love the direction Dread is going into with its level design and how the gameplay is going to be. Should be a fun if challenging play.

I like Samas's suit. It doesn't change much, it's just enough to look different.

The game has a very resident evil 7 vibe, as in there is a constant chase. They had a little bit of that in fusion, but this seems persistent.

It's weird. Like a month ago, I was wishing this game would come out already and wanted to get into it. On Monday, someone had mentioned how the game was releasing this week on Friday and I had completely forgotten that it was so close to happening. I guess my attempted Metroid media blackout was kind of working. Now that the day has arrived, I just don't feel like making the effort to go to the store and get it. Maybe because I know I won't have anytime to actually play or get into for a good week. I don't know. Maybe it was the trailer for it again in the last Direct that still had to show some of the surprises in it. But somehow I've just been unable to rekindle the desire of wanting to immediately play this game. (And apparently NWR has as well since there's no review for it as of yet. I know, I know. They probably didn't get an advance copy.)

Part of me kept wondering about getting the Special Edition but just an artbook doesn't impress me anymore. Got the Link's Awakening SE and XC:DE and I've found an artbook is something you flip through once or twice and there's no need to bother with ever again. Samus Returns came with a CD of Metroid songs. XC2 SE also had a CD. That's what I want in a Special Edition. A collection of the music. So, not being able to get the Special Edition hasn't bothered me that much but it has made it seem like there's less urgency because if I'm going to just pick up the regular copy of the game then there will be a bunch of those around.

Then I also think back to the Wii and how many copies of Metroid Prime 3 and even Other M later seemed to flood the used games section of Gamestop. Could pick them up for so cheap. Could be the same thing happens here after a bunch of people beat the game. Now it's like I'm talking myself into not even bothering with it for months. Anyone else ever find themselves losing hype for a game they know they'd really like?
