I only played the First Hunt demo that came with the DS, but it was so bad that it killed any interest I had in the game.

Hunters is a very good DS FPS. It's also notable for being the first Nintendo game to include voice chat. I believe the game would be a lot more popular if it weren't called Metroid, and instead were a new Nintendo IP.

I only started caring about the Metroid Prime series with Trilogy and got my first DS with the Lite, so I didn't even get the demo.

I picked up Hunters at a Toys R Us Buy2Get1Free sale. Very disappointed in it.

Vudu, you'll have to post the Metroid poll results, from #1 on down, in summary when all's said and done.

I've never played Hunters since I have no DS.

Like, the winning games, or the full polls?
The first post is edited to list the winning games in order...

Ah, didn't see that.

Completely agree with the first place entry. There is no other substitute for 2-D perfection ~~except SMB3/NSMBWii/DKC2~~.

So what the next series poll going to be again? Castlevania? Mario? Mario Kart/Spin-Offs?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #359 on:** July 19, 2010, 09:59:23 PM »

If you only played the single player version of the game I understand being disappointed in it...it was horrible. Playing against people made it more fun, but still not perfect...fun and enjoyable, but not great...still better than the first Metroid though.

I still disagree with it. Metroid Prime, IMO, is easily the best Metroid game ever.

Well, as this poll showed, you are in the minority on that.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #362 on:** July 20, 2010, 12:04:12 AM »

SM only barely won, and I bet a large part of that is just nostalgia (the same way people think Perfect Dark is still a good game, not remembering the horrible framerate in multiplayer).

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #363 on:** July 20, 2010, 12:09:59 AM »

I'd bet a lot of the people who voted for Super Metroid played it recently on the VC, so it's not all nostalgia; as I said at the time, I don't have any nostalgia for it because the VC was my first experience with it, and I still voted for it. Also, Perfect Dark on XBLA holds up very well, which proves that the original was a good game despite the frame rate.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #364 on:** July 20, 2010, 09:51:06 AM »

PD on XBLA is not a strict port. They made a lot of improvements, with the framerate being one of the biggest.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #365 on:** July 20, 2010, 08:34:30 PM »

Yes, there was framerate issues in Perfect Dark, but it was still fun. Does it hold up? I would rather pull out my Nintendo 64 and play Perfect Dark than some of the modern day shooters...even the multiplayer.

I liked the feel of the multiplayer mode, the controls, and aiming...and I didn't care about the frame rate issues, which could be improved, by limiting the number of bots, or playing with only friends.

As for Super Metroid, when that hit virtual console I immediately played through and beat the entire game...which I had never done on the SNES. I was blown away by the level design and mood and atmosphere in the 2D game design. Things that are sometimes not even done in this generation of games that really made you feel like you were in a living world. The same is special...and is one of the best games ever created.

I first played Super Metroid sometime during the mid 2000's, I forget exactly when. It was around the time I first played Metroid Prime, which I didn't buy until it was cheap since at that point I was barely familiar with the Metroid series. I can't remember which I played first though...

My point is, I played it well past its time and I still recognized its greatness.

vudu · « **Reply #367 on:** July 21, 2010, 01:41:12 PM »

The results are in:

Have you played Metroid Prime: Hunters?

No 4 (22.2%)
Yes, the retail release 9 (50%)
Yes, but only the demo 5 (27.8%)

Total Members Voted: 18

I'm surprised that 50% of you have played the retail release of Hunters; I honestly thought it would be lower.

Halbred · « **Reply #368 on:** July 21, 2010, 01:41:41 PM »

Good, now get with the Castlevania!

Stratos · « **Reply #369 on:** July 24, 2010, 07:49:13 AM »

No! Mario Kart!

UncleBob · « **Reply #370 on:** July 24, 2010, 09:10:21 AM »

Any other suggestions/requests?

Castlevania scares me, because that one will take about two months.
Throw up some requests and I'll create another poll for round three.

Shaymin · « **Reply #371 on:** July 24, 2010, 10:28:16 AM »

Mega Man (1-10)?

Hey Bob! I have a suggestion for the next poll--GCN launch games!!

All-Star Baseball 2002
Batman Vengeance
Crazy Taxi
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2
Disney's Tarzan Untamed
Luigi's Mansion
Madden NFL 2002
NHL Hitz 20-02
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Super Monkey Ball
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Wave Race: Blue Storm

Alternatively, you could go with just Nintendo-published GCN games released in 2001.

Luigi's Mansion
Wave Race: Blue Storm
Pikmin
Super Smash Bros. Melee

I still like this idea.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #373 on:** July 24, 2010, 11:40:33 AM »

I like the idea of doing a poll based on a systems launch games.

broodwars · « **Reply #374 on:** July 24, 2010, 12:42:25 PM »

How about a poll on best Donkey Kong games, in honor of the upcoming Retro Studios DK Country game?
