So, in a late night stupor, my buddy comes by. Hes the manager over at Gamestop.(punks) He says to me "are you going to get the next Metroid?" Of course, was my response. He then goes on and on about how a Metroid 1 remake is going to be released during the xmas holidays. I look at him like hes an ass, as usual. But then it dawns on me. He has been correct before, even after my ridicule. He tells me Capcom is making it. I take my last swig of ---/insert adult beverage here/--- and say 'whatever" and tumble to bed. I wish it was true, but wouldnt we have heard something by now? Then i was thinking, maybe its a preorder thing for the sequel to Prime, like Zelda. Anyway, i certainly would enjoy a full fledged remak of the first Metroid. Now give me Kid Icarus, and i'll retire right now....

Capcom wouldnt be making it for GCN.
A XMas release would be cool, but its pretty unlikely.

Though, Metroid Prime 2, devloped by Retro (not Capcom), will not be ready Christmas. Spring, maybe. Summer of 2004 seems more likely.

Halo 2 may 'kill' prime 2 in sales. It doesn't necessarily mean XBOX will sell better over Christmas, however. It may, but Nintendo needs to release a few AAA games to offset the hoopla of Halo 2. And, once again, advertising is whats killing the Cube , not the quality of the games.

People who work at video game stores usually know the equivalent of sh*t.
Period.
I don't care if your buddy is a gamer, either. Those employees get fed all sorts of stupid crap left and right, and half the time they beleive it.

My intention was just to pass the info. on , not say he is right. He was right about Mario Kart, though. They do get fed a lot of shat, which is why he doesn't tell me every little thing, but some of it sticks.
