2017 is going to be the year Metroid makes its triumphant return, right?
>>376332912
triumphant return?
during this social justice era?
................nope
>>376332912
E3 is our reckoning. If we get nothing again, all hope is lost.
>>376332912
I just want another 2d metroid similar to super
>>376332912
>>376333412
Never ever.

>what why is Samus ATTRACTIVE and WOMANLY I thought Nintendo was BETTER THAN THIS, why doesn't Samus look like THIS it's more REALISTIC than that BLONDE BIMBO
we had a slightly decent thread even with ZSSfags around last night
don't push it again faggots
yes, with Metroid: Other M 2
Hey guys.
>>376333498
>purple other m gravity suit
>>376333530
that's still insanely attractive though

They talk about it briefly in this interview. Skip to around the 1:30 mark and you'll have your answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qApEgUxp58k
Federation force was used to gauge interest in the series, but instead of supporting Metroid, autism made it hated. It's dead
>>376332912
REGGIE HINTS AT NEW METROID GAME COMING TO E3 *MUST WATCH*
never ever
>>376332912
I fucking wish
>>376333530
I don't think anyone has ever made this complaint unless it's a retarded false flag like what you're doing now
>>376333851
>but smash 4 zss
SShhh Anon, it's okay to ignore the fact that Nintendo made Samus look like a high-heel'd thicc assed bimbo since it doesn't fit his narrative.
>>376332912
I'm curious as to how this franchise will make its transition to pachinko machines, but the new machine sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
>>376334891
>Samus continues to look the way she has always looked
>"bimbo"
So you admit you want Tumblr Samus
I'd rather see a new IP or a revival of a different, more deserving franchise.
>>376335589
shitty bait, namefag
>>376335467
There's a significant difference between Super/Prime Samus and the wretched creature we got in Other M/Sm4sh. Stop being retarded on purpose.
>>376335467
>>Samus continues to look the way she has always looked
Nah. They gave her a slimmer more feminine face, arguably bigger breasts, and objectively bigger ass/thighs on top of high heel jets for no reason despite her not having them in Zero Mission or Brawl.
>So you admit you want Tumblr Samus
Nah that shit looks ugly as fuck, senpai. I'm okay with Samus being attractive. I just don't think SJW boogey men are the reason why Nintendo aren't pushing for more Metroid.
They love money and recycling old IPs so if they really thought Metroid would make them more bucks they would go for it. Unfortunately it hasn't with the last few iterations having fairly lackluster sales globally.
>>376336996
There's a significant difference between Super and Prime Samus, don't lump an actually attractive woman in with your middle-aged man face.
>>376332912
I hope so, there is no Nintendo games like Metroid and it adds gaming variety to the console
>>376333530
>magic space bird suit that uses energy to sustain itself during physical stress

Do these people even play the games they hypothesize on?
>>376333781
thats the point anon. the series is over because of it. As well as pic related. Metroid is dead.
>>376337942
Metroid was never alive in the first place. It was always niche that didn't sell.
>>376338049
nice meme :)
>>376338049
>It was always niche that didn't sell.
This. The only games to crack 2 million GLOBALLY are Prime and the first one. Even though Super is jacked off eternally it didn't even get more than 1.5 million.
>>376338049
>Donkey Kong Country launches around the same time as Super Metroid
COMPLETELY DESTROYS IT SALES WISE
>Hmmm, maybe if we hand Metroid to a talented group of western developers it will sell better
They do, and it doesn't.
>Maybe if we let the same devs make a Donkey Kong game, that will turn out well.
DKCR is a massive success.
Donkey Kong killed Metroid. I bet a Donkey Kong Prime game with coconut guns would outsell all the Metroid Prime games.
>>376332912
>>376333530
I think this is probably an accurate depiction of Samus.
>>376338537
>>376332912
I'm hearing rumors that two are in development. A 2.5D game being developed by Climax Studios for the 3DS possibly Switch that's a sequel to Metroid Fusion and will be at E3 and a Metroid Prime 3 sequel developed by Retro Studios that may or may not appear at E3.

it's not gonna happen
metroid is not even that much well know in japan,which is already a red flag
>>376339326
Zelda is vastly more successful in the West than it is in Japan and that doesn't stop them from making Zelda games.

Your turn.
>>376338049
Selling over a million copies is the definition of "selling well," despite what bloated Squeenix "we need 5 million to break even" PR statements lead you to believe. Metroid is a consistent money-maker, if not a huge one with a big ROI like cheap New Mario Bros garbage.
Other M is probably the only bad-selling Metroid game, because it took forever to break 1 million and only then after several aggressive price cuts (I was seeing new copies at Best Buy for $10-15.00 back in the day).
After Prime 1, Retro could use the same engine and template for the other two games plus trilogy re-release, offering what is likely a tidy profit for Nintendo based on little overhead cost.
To say nothing of the cheap-to-make GBA games.
The whole "metroid is a poor seller" is just misinfo being spread at this point, or just misunderstanding how sales vs. profits work.
>>376339067
lol I bet FedForce sold like shit. Was there anyone out there who wanted that game, let alone wanted it to be made?
>>376339067
>2014
>Like that matters since Metroid Prime 3 came out in 2007, giving the game 7 years by itself to sell more than 2million GLOBALLY
>It didn't
No need to update the numbers on a dead ass series since it won't make much of a difference
>B-but muh Zero Mission
Under a million
>P-pinball
Under half a million
>O-other M
Under a million and a half
>F-federation...
.10 million, my guy. But it was also relese digitally so let me throw you a bone and multiply that by like 10 even though we both know not that many people gave a shit about that shovelwear
wow a million wow
Face it, Metroid has never done particularly well and it has nothing to do with SJWs. What you really should be asking is why Fire Emblem is getting so much more attention even though it's sales are even worse.
>>376341347
Fire Emblem is made by a Nintendo owned but still somewhat independent developer and to this studio themselves, those numbers are high.
Metroid on the other hand, is directly funded by Nintendo in-house and those sales have to compete with the Marios and the Zeldas.
>>376341347
> What you really should be asking is why Fire Emblem is getting so much more attention even though it's sales are even worse
Because it has a dedicated team big enough to make it. A big Metroid Prime game can't be made unless Retro makes it themselves and a 2.5D game can't be made unless Sakamoto has his team work with a third party due to them being too small and don't have experience making 3D games.
>>376333807
jesus you have low standards
>>376341102
>The whole "metroid is a poor seller" is just misinfo being spread at this point
It's really not. It's one of the worst selling Nintendo IPs when you consider how long it's been avaliable globally and how many entries it's had.
Even Fire Emblem is catching up to it with it's latest games.
>>376341956
>Metroid on the other hand, is directly funded by Nintendo in-house and those sales have to compete with the Marios and the Zeldas.
Yes and it is losing to that competition.
>>376342078
>A big Metroid Prime game can't be made unless Retro makes it themselves and a 2.5D game can't be made unless Sakamoto has his team work with a third party due to them being too small and don't have experience making 3D games.
So it's dead as fuck.
>>376333530
Fucking ugh
>>376339279
There was literally a thread yesterday dedicated to saying video games should have more social justice in them, try harder anon
>>376342221

Well... I wouldn't really say that now. See>>376338902

Oh well thats actually good news if it's true.

You can present your ideas with as many words as you like, but once you reach a certain word count you need to make a second fucking page with more panels. No get off of /v/, Bendis.
>>376333530
>>376342639
I hope so too, the Prime game will clearly be produced by Tanabe, and I can see the 2.5D game being produced by Sakamotot while some members of EPD7 helping Climax with the game's development. It also goes with what Takahashi said about the traditional and Prime games having a future. No offense but the death of Iwata was the best thing that happened to Nintendo.
>>376338902
LOL
