I spent the last two months replaying Metroid titles. I can see how this is different, and I appreciate getting something different every once in a while. I still think there is a big Metroid game on the way. Probably been in development for a while, yet too early to show off. Being made by who knows. This is not it. This is on 3ds, which I dont have. So, im not toing to be upset about a game I wont buy anyways because I really dont do handhelds. I also like gears of wars.... so theres that. Ive also been interested in the backstory with the federation vs the space pirates. So, it appeals to me as any other spinoff does, I know its not the main game. Theres always talks that all Nintendo games are the same, its silly to hear uproar when they do the safe thing, but then when they do something outside of the box its OMG WTF waaaaaah why curses?!!!
