Has anyone tried to make Metroid into a campaign setting?

I would play the hell out of that. Metroid is one of if not my favourite game series.

Only problem would having to change it to fit multiple people and what system to use.

Good thing based Nintendo already did it with this best-seller

You'd have to play as some independent or Fed-aligned force. No sole bounty hunters here.

As for system, it would depend on the tone. For all we've seen, the Metroid universe is pretty dark if you're not Samus.
So if you want it stylized, you could try modifying the 40k RPGs. A bunch of rules for power armours, weapon systems and stuff already exist in one form or another. Only War would work for Federation troopers, Dark Heresy for more independent/investigatory folks. Imagine running into some Chozo ruins and being sent there by the Feds as an archaeological survey team.

If you want less stylized or just dislike the 40k system, you could use RuneQuest 6/Mythras. With the Firearms addon and a bit of homebrewing, you could make pretty much anything, Metroid being no exception.

If you want as simulationist and gritty as you can, there's the obligatory GURPS suggestion.

>not playing as a bunch of different bounty hunters (like in Hunters or Corruption) forced to work together by circumstance
Fun fact, this was the original game concept for metroid prime 2. You can still read the design documents on the web as "metroid 1.5"

Play as space pirates.
Solve everything by injecting it with a highly lethal/volatile substance, and build
everything outta TUUUUUUUBES!

When confronted with a possibility to "learn" something (no matter how dangerous it might seem), a Science Team member must succeed at a Hard Willpower test to not endanger the lives of his allies and the integrity of the location with a slapdash "experiment."

probably

I did it using the system I made. Gave everyone Biosynthe suits that they could upgrade via alien technology or biology - like, rip a turret off the wall and write a program for it to be an autoturret that sits on their shoulder type stuff. It was fun, until someone went retarded and grabbed a bunch of alien plasma rifles and tossed them into a geothermal generator exploding the ship everyone was on.

Just for anyone wanting to replicate it - my suggestion would be to use the GitS d20 Modern system http://www.serenadawn.com/Download-Gits.html
to build your suits (roughly the same rules as building a cyborg), then toss in some homebrew to allow the suits to automatically repair themselves as long as they have the power to do so, and to be able to physically incorporate alien tech (even biology if you want), but the operators must write programs in order to utilize that tech to keep it interesting. Don't allow the characters to gain additional HP either. Once their suits go down, they're RIP.

it's not an exact analog to the way I did it, but it's close enough that it's what I would recommend. When I release my system, I'll be including specific rules to be able to do stuff like this.

Get out of here with that.

Best way to play it would probably be bounty hunters hired by the Federation to do suchandsuch depending where want to with the campaign. This would probably give the most freedom with the campaign.
I'm not too familiar with 40k but I can see them working as the main aspect for each character would be the power armor.

>>54451963
That would be interesting. Could even have multiple type fights with Samus or the Federation.

>>54455936
That's a really awesome feature to have, could have some awesome shenanigans with it but is still similar to the classic suit upgrades from the games so it makes sense.

Sounds like a sweet way to run it

>fights with Samus
Probably closer to seeing who can run the fastest of the group before THE HUNTER catches up.
>>54454110
Yes.

what would the classes be?
would there even be classes at all?

here ya go OP.

>>54462633
was going to post that if you want to play with feds, this is the best

>>54462615
it may work best classless, or with a race/class system (ai. if your race is space pirate your class is space pirate, if your race is human your class is human, etc)
