I seriously doubt it. Retro is too busy reviving other Nintendo series and the 2D devs are either Inafune-tier or don't care anymore.
At best, it'll be Fed Force 2.

But if it actually does happen, and it looks good, I'll buy a Switch this year. Otherwise I'll just wait until Kirby comes out.

>>376665953
Even if they reveal Metroid there is no way it's far enough to be released in 2017

Personally I hope the franchise dies because of how cancerous the fanbase is

Meant fandom.

It's been time the last 3 years. I've accepted that metroid is dead

>>376665453
2017 releases only. They wouldn't announce something so big on a stream that's not really gonna have any major trailers.

I'd rather Metroid die than see Nintendo pump out turd after turd like they have been doing.

HD federation force

Nope. Federation Force bombed, so Nintendo reasoned that people just aren't interested in Metroid anymore and indefinitely shelved the series.

>>376665953
Why would they release Fed Force if they weren't planning on making a new game?
>>376666245
Why? Retro's last game came out in early 2014.

It would probably be better than Other M or Federation Force, but only because it would be a soulless rehash of Super Metroid.

>>376665453

Fuck that noise. Metroid can fuck right off. F-Zero deserves another chance.

futuristic racers are dead as shit and there's nothing else to expand on f-zero traditionally

unless, you want a spinoff ala Star Fox Adventures?

>>376667845
F-Zero has already achieved perfection though. There's nowhere else for the series to go.

>>376666476
it's probably a smashtard

sure, FE got six reps, not a worthy reason why Fire Emblem should die already.

with Echoes flopping and FE Warrior being the next flop, that's a better reason why Nintendo's Sales Manager should reconsider about letting the series live.

>>376668024
I would be unironically excited for a God Hand-styled Captain Falcon beat 'em up, and you know you would too

>>376667845
>another chance

Motherfucker, shut the fuck up. F-Zero ended on a high note whereas we Metroid fans have been getting assfucked in the ass for the last seven years in a row.

>>376668240
Or maybe they should stop making it a yearly release and give it some air like the rest of their franchises.

>>376668240
>FE Warrior being the next flop
How do you figure?

>>376668085
And we already have Fast RMX

>>376668240
Was Echoes the game with the season pass that cost more than the game itself? I'm not surprised that flopped. I don't think any Nintendo franchise could get away with that.

>>376665453
I want to believe but Nintendo's earlier announcement got me worried. Also the way things are looking Halo 6 may not be getting announced at E3 this year. If both cases are true then both Microsoft and Nintendo automatically lost E3 for me, What the fuck are both of them doing?

>>376667845
Fast RMX and Redout basically make F-Zero redundant, since there would already be two hyper-fast futuristic racers on the Switch by the time it comes out

>>376668582
>Hell, even Berserk flopped, and that sure as shit is more famous then Faggot Emblem
First of all, the game wasn't good.
Second, Fire Emblem is absolutely more popular than Berserk. Don't confuse quality with popularity.

>Implying Tanabe won't make it anyways
It's either that or nothing.

>>376667845
But we already have Fast RMX where you drive the blue Fulcun car around a big tube race track. At this point its pointless to release an F-Zero game because people already have Fast RMX.

Honestly, people would look at a new F-Zero game and go "What is this Fast RMX rip off?"

Exactly, it's a statement of fact. The opinion is that I don't like FE. Reading is hard, huh?

>>376669407
Not him, but there are enough people that own a Switch that have likely never played an F-Zero game in their life. Sad but true.

>>376668781
People are going to say its bait, but it really depends on who you're talking about. Chances are there are people who like anime and games and shit right now who have never read or watched Berserk but know what Fire Emblem is.

>So only underages then?

Not quite. Berserk came out in 1989. You could be born in 1999-2000 and still be around 18, that's 10 years after Berserk.

what do you want from me?

>>376669927
I'm assuming the Deleter was there to help solve the Mother Brain issue then kill everyone so no one learns the truth about them growing another Mother Brain. The game stops acknowledging his existence because he's always acting behind the scenes and dies behind the scenes. It's a problem that solved itself. I genuinely can't remember if Samus even knew the Deleter was a thing

>>376670094
We need more art of Two Piece Samus in general. The Zero Suit is hot but that midriff is perfect.

This is why I hate any game with "waifu" characters, aka any character even slightly sexualized. It destroys the game and I will instantly consider the gameplay bad as a result. Be it ARMS, Bayonetta, Xenoblade, Street fighter, Dead or alive, etc. Sex fanservice was a disgusting mistake on the industry.

This. Fire Emblem discussion is completely dead, and the setting / aesthetic / theme is now identical to any other anime game out there. 3 of my favorite series I'm glad they're completely inactive because what seems to be happening now is we get either fan service trash, an awful casual reboot, or a sequel that completely changes the tone of the entire series and collapses the community that discussed it.

I'm sorry anon, but you can't backtrack 100+ posts in this thread. everyone has already agreed that, if a fanbase is bad, then the games are bad as well. You can't turn around and imply otherwise, or pretend that you didn't imply otherwise.

>This has nothing to do with the games quality.
It has everything to do with the game's quality. If even the most zealous fans refuse to talk about the gameplay, and do nothing but talk about how much they want Bayonetta to fart on them, then the game is automatically bad. Good gameplay merits gameplay-related discussion, not creepy sexual LARPing on mongolian Glass Blowing imageboards.

Shucks, look at games like Team Fortress 2. It may be rabid and infested with kids and F2Ps, BUT AT LEAST THEY TALK ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY MECHANICS. You never see them post porn because the only female characters aren't sexualized, and very very few people like porn of the male characters. So it never comes up, even in the cancerous /vg/ general where you'd expect it the most.

So ponder on that fact for a moment: the games I mentioned actively make children and BRs look good in comparison. It really atom-smashes my quazars, if you get my drift.

Technically they did know better than Nintendo, considering how they download roms from the internet and re-sell them on the virtual shop, WHICH IS ILLEGAL BY THE WAY.

How? Well, it doesn't matter if they own the copyright to the rom, since they willingly visited pirate sites, which is what they say is the real danger.

Or maybe it's because it's been talked to death? It also doesn't help that Metroid hasn't had a real good game for over five years.

Consider how it continues to live despite Valve's retarded updating schedule and the skeleton crew that barely works on it. and yet it has more life than supposedly "critically acclaimed" masterpieces like Bayonetta, or multiplayer games like Splatoon, which supposedly had more "care" put into them. My point still stands, the latter 2 games relied on sexualized characters and shallow non-gameplay elements to hook in people, which is why they died miserably within months.

>No shit Sherlocks.
That's my exact point though. Without sexual fanservice, the game has to actually be good to keep an audience. Same with cinematic games. We're still talking about Dwarf Fortress and FTL and Shovel Knight years later, while Uncharted and TLOU and Gone Home have already faded from memory. Those "artsy" stories sure didn't help them.

That's bullshit. Everyone was just discussing the game/asking for the solution to that one shinespark room.

This was also a week before Federation Force's release, so any shitposting would have been about that instead of having no games.

I think it is. Retro's obviously been doing SOMETHING for the past 3 years besides helping with mario kart and holding BBQs. I don't think they're doing dong again.

However, there's no guarantee it'll show up at E3. Nintendo has taken to using E3 to market games that are releasing that year. If it's a 2018 title, they might not reveal it yet so that people focus more on their immediate 2017 lineup.

Such is the state when we don't have e-celeb circlejerks or waifu posting, or creepy sexual roleplaying. It keeps the thread pure, and it lets us host tournaments to actually, you know, play the video game. remember that part, when you actually interacted with the product instead of watching a cutscene or jerking off to porn of it?

It's really fun too.

>>376675472
What's worrisome about that?

>>376675890
I just can't see Retro going back to Metroid after finding out how much money they make on Donkey Kong. It's not like the Prime series was growing either, each new game was performing worse.

>>376675918
Or maybe it needs bump posts because only a handful of truly pathetic individuals give a shit about such a garbage series.

>>376676000
All the focus is being put on games already announced for the Switch this year, so high possibility of no major announcements.

>>376676085

So you're arguing that niche games are bad, and that popularity is somehow an indicator of quality?

>Consider how it continues to live despite Valve's retarded updating schedule and the skeleton crew that barely works on it. and yet it has more life than supposedly "critically acclaimed" masterpieces like Bayonetta, or multiplayer games like Splatoon, which supposedly had more "care" put into them.
One, Bayonetta is a single player game with light replayabilty value, and Splatoon is basically dead what with all the updates being over and over and the last splatfest completed.
Meanwhile TF2 is an online game, with a way bigger install base and although rare, it still gets updates.
Second, no one said that Bayonetta and Splatoon had more "care" put into them.
>My point still stands, the latter 2 games relied on sexualized characters and shallow non-gameplay elements to hook in people, which is why they died miserably within months.
Splatoon wasn't meant to be sexualized at all. And no, pedophiles latching onto it doesn't change shit. And it was still pretty active for a good while.
>That's my exact point though. Without sexual fanservice, the game has to actually be good to keep an audience.
The game has to be good period.
Unless you're a weeb, you're not going to play a game that isn't fun.

>>376676023
I agree, I believe Federation Force killed the Prime series. Donkey Kong did well on the Wii U for how much the system sells. I do believe that 2D Metroid will continue I just hope one gets announced at E3 this year.

>>376676173
No, that's a strawman you made up because you are insane.

>>376676118
I don't think there's much to worry about, those are the big games they have been focusing on for the past few months now, they're probably just giving them attention in the image since they're the bigger games people already know, it's not like they've announced some other things already that they could mention in the picture unless you count the small 3DS games but they want focus on the Switch more clearly and everything else they might have are probably being heavily hidden to the public (like how the Switch and the games they showed off in the original Presentation were heavily hidden for the longest time).

>>376676023
Tropical Freeze also didn't perform particularly well, probably doing around 1.5m. Now that Metroid has had a decade-long break and people are hungry for it, it could be a revitalization. I see no reason they couldn't alternate between both franchises, letting each one rest for a while once it gets stale.

Anyway, Metroid still has a lot of mindshare. First parties will often invest in critical darlings that are popular with the hardcore crowd, even if they don't sell that well, because it helps their console's image.

>>376676118
They're obviously not going to announce their surprises in tweets about their E3 plans. And they do typically try to have a good surprise, even though it's true that their E3s focus on current year titles more than Sony's or MS's.

>>376676425

Metroid Prime is dead. If they make a new FPS in the Metroid universe it still shouldn't be called Prime

>>376676305

>No one agreed with him
Okay, so the back and forth shitposting just didn't happen?

>TF2 isn't dead.
Funny how it's not dead only when it's convenient. Not even a day ago /v/ swore that TF2 was pushing up daisies. The mass consensus changes very quickly I see.

>One, Bayonetta is a single player game with light replayabilty value
And right there is its fatal mistake. It's a spectacle game, focused more on looking cool and being cinematic, instead of having good gameplay and replayability. But Kamina put tits in it so nobody would see that fact. Pretty much proves my point.

>and Splatoon is basically dead what with all the updates being over and over and the last splatfest completed.
It's not even 2 years old yet. How sad is that? guess all that marketing money was only good when not considering the long run.

>Meanwhile TF2 is an online game, with a way bigger install base and although rare, it still gets updates.
The point is that it had nowhere near the amount of marketing or brand power that Nintendo had, and Valve is basically a tiny little company compared to such a massive console juggernaut. So for TF2 to outlive both games is pathetic on Nintendo's part.

>And no, pedophiles latching onto it doesn't change shit
Oh, it changes everything. Having children in your game in the first place is always a magnet for pedophiles. It's an industry standard at this point. See: the 1000 year old dragon Loli in fire emblem, Etna from Disgeaia, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Senran Kagura, the list goes on and on.

>The game has to be good period.
And they weren't.

>No we're not.
Maybe you're not.

>Again,,those games are single player with little to no replyability.
Only gone Home is entirely singleplayer. TLOU and Uncharted had some multiplayer aspects.

>And get people still talk about the balance patches and new tech.
Yeah nah. Maybe in the first hour of the patches dropping, but that stopped quickly.

>>376676305

>Keep going though ACfag, your posts are hilarious.
I'll never understand this mentality. You call people faggots all because they want good games. Not movies, not glorified porn, just games. And this is somehow a "laughable" mindset. I have half an urge to just assume that you're some kind of neogaf shill trying to push the latest arthouse film from sony. After all, who would seriously attack someone for having standards in the industry?

>>376666245
A few years ago, I thought the Metroid fanbase was the least cancerous fanbase I could recall. But in the recent years it has become really shit.

I blame Ridleyfags and AM2Rfags.

>>376673351

It was intentional. The artist drew a bunch of the guy characters in the zero suit (including Ganondorf, Wario, & Link) to point out the ridiculousness of the high heel booster boots.

Actually the opposite happened. Before the Switch launched, they had a trailer focusing on games. I can remember the livestream chat exploding with people being hyped for F-Zero when they were shown fast.

Also, Fast really doesn't play like F-Zero. It's more of it's own style rather than a replacement.

I'm not talking about Prime style. I'm talking about calling it Prime. The Metroid Prime trilogy was a trilogy of games about Metroid Prime. Now that Prime is dead there's no reason to use that title.

No it doesn't. At all. But this logic any game that doesn't have any incentive for replayabilty is shit.
Some games are better off only being played once.

>It's not even 2 years old yet. How sad is that? guess all that marketing money was only good when not considering the long run.
That's more on the fault of the Wii U being dropped hard by Nintendo.>The point is that it had nowhere near the amount of marketing or brand power that Nintendo had, and Valve is basically a tiny little company compared to such a massive console juggernaut.

Value is incredibly well-known at this point. And again, it's an online game on the PC.

Splatoon is a children's game made for children.
By this logic no one should make games about anything because someone will always be attracted to something.

I want good games. I'm just not a raging faggot that calls any game with a moderately sexy female protagonist "waifubait" and then call it irredeemable trash. Then call out any game that has a cutscene longer than two seconds "cinematic garbage".

His views are so absurdly broad to the point where fucking Ms Pac-Man would be seen as waifu-pandering weebshit.

>>376677890
We been over this, that would require that Tanabe had a team, but he doesn't. Retro isn't working on Metroid Prime and are either working on another DK or a different series. Fed Force bombed hard.

>>376677980
The Prime style game was Federation Force, Sakamoto handles the traditional style.

The only games you'll be seeing from Ninty this E3 are Arms, Mario, and Splatoon.

Nintendo's conferences haven't been worth paying attention to in years.

>/v/ is one person meme
That's why I used the term "mass consensus".

>But this logic any game that doesn't have any incentive for replayabilty is shit.
You know, this kind of mindset isn't wrong. For 60 dollars, I should want to endlessly replay a game, at least a few times over. But when it's a "once in a life-time" experience that's all about the one time trip through the game, it loses its appeal.

>Some games are better off only being played once.
that's only true for the movie games and cinematic experiences, whose only interest comes from the bland story.

>Value is incredibly well-known at this point
Not as well known as Nintendo. And even then, they also have 2 other popular online games, CSGO and DOTA2, that actively compete with TF2. So TF2 still having more life really speaks wonders about Nintendo's inability to keep players interested. See, this is why I compare games like Mario and Pokemon to Call of duty. Sure, they don't get the same annual releases and space out their schedules, but in the end the games are so shallow that prior expansions are never touched again when a new game in the series comes out. even the HD remakes die off whenever they announce a new installment, instead of trying to support all of them.

>By this logic no one should make games about anything
Better idea, make games that don't pander to people. don't waste money when it isn't necessary. The Inklings did not need to be overly detailed loli children. They should've just been simply designed, low polygon models. No sexualization, less money wasted. Take a lesson from TF2, and how it used an artstyle with mature varied male models, retaining cartooniness while not delving into extremes.

>>376678416
Ah ha.

Ahahaha.

Ahahahaha.

Nintendo always wins E3. They bring actual games, everyone else brings trailers to things that ''''''might'''' come out in three years.

Anyway, Metroid got a new game last year. Federation Force, for us real fans, was a treat. I would rather see a new IP or new franchise revival at this stage.

>>376678190
>>376677238

>Light multiplayer. Not like CoD or Halo..
Considering that COD and Halo are shallow experiences in and of themselves, I'd say they're exact fits.

>You're overexaggurating.
A quick look at the nightmare that is the /vg/ general will give you insight into what I mean.

>His views are so absurdly broad to the point where fucking Ms Pac-Man would be seen as waifu-pandering weebshit.
Not true. I just don't want pandering garbage. I want a game that'll last the test of time by its good game design alone. But I want either of you to tell me that a game is good when it's only memorable features are how many tits they showed, or how cinematic their cutscenes are, yet the gameplay is nowhere is sight because people were too busy jerking off to naked asses and CGI graphics to care.

As a former Metroid fan, you should at least be understanding of this position. Samus being sexualized, for example, used to be such a small fragment of the game that it could barely be described as a 5 second secret ending. Everyone always talked about the games, the cool collectibles, the differences between Super and Prime, and what have you. The games were light on story, so nobody cared about the cutscenes or lore. Samus was barely seen outside of her suit, so nobody really cared about her being a woman, or having tits. Then Other M, Zero Mission and Smash Brothers came along and decided that Samus needs to be a helpless idiot damsel with a magic suit that disappears when she gets sad and cries, so you can see her naked body for entire hours of cutscenes. And then of course you had that filth Metroid Fusion, which decided that Samus needed more story and cutscenes and mandatory dialogue boxes that actively lock you in a room until you watch the damn cutscene. Cutscenes that weren't skippable, mind you.

That is but one small cause for my hatred of cinematics and sex appeal. They destroy anything they touch.

>We been over this, that would require that Tanabe had a team, but he doesn't.
yes i know that. hence also why he had to pick NLG for Federation Force in 2011. They were too occupied at the time. (outside Retro only designing the Combat Mech)
>Retro isn't working on Metroid Prime
correct
>and are either working on another DK or a different series.
they are working on the latter, which is clearly a new IP. DKC and Mario Kart is also out as well.

yes indeed.
>The Prime style game was Federation Force, Sakamoto handles the traditional style.
the statement wasn't hinting what upcoming metroid game other then discussion on bringing back both styles for the upcoming futures

also, you have to be severely autistic to think a filler game developed for over 7-11 years was made to gauge any interest of the proper Prime-style Metroid. even saying this while more interested on Metroid 5 over "Sylux's game".

Honestly ACfag's way of holding his opinions as the only one that's right almost makes me ashamed of liking some of the same shit as he does. I've got both 1.0 and 1.1 of AM2R downloaded and I haven't even bothered playing it, partly out of laziness and partly due to the fact that ACfag likes it, and this is coming from someone who's patiently waiting for a new decent Metroid game. I loved Cave Story way back when my friend introduced me to it years ago and having it associated with him kind of sours the experience whenever I want to replay it. My bro bought a hacked OG PS3 and the guy left an AC title in it, and I'd love to try it out. Shovel Knight? Enjoyable, but less so knowing that he likes it. Desolate Hope? The crazy shit I've seen in threads that talked about it makes me want to play it. Won't say anything about Dorf Fort since I'm too stupid to get into it.

TL;DR ACfag is killing any incentives to try new shit and is ruining stuff I already like.

Not every game had to appeal with your absurdly specific tastes. Sorry man.

Wow, funny you mention that. The Borg are known for their soulless hivemind that stamps out all independent thought, and game journos....

Very intriguing.

To the people saying Retro definitely isn't working on Metroid, consider that they recently hired a composer/sound director known for his scifi soundtracks, posted pictures of prime rib on their twitter page, and Reggie responded to questions about Metroid by saying to ask him about it at the end of the year.

I'm not saying it's 100% guaranteed or anything, but I sure wouldn't rule it out.

There will NEVER be another 2D metroid game. All we'll ever get from Metroid in the future is more Prime spinoffs and maybe the occasional failed experiment like Other M.
Nintendo has abandoned 2D metroid. It won't come back. It's been binned.

>They should've just been simply designed, low polygon models. No sexualization, less money wasted.
They're fucking CHILDREN. If you honestly believe Nintendo wanted to make them sexualized you're either an idiot or a pedophile.
>Take a lesson from TF2, and how it used an artstyle with mature varied male models, retaining cartooniness while not delving into extremes.
It gets porn too, despite the lack of sexualization. So there's really no helping it.

The only time I've praised a game for sexy girls is when I've praised it for everything else. Sexy girls are the cherry on top.
>As a former Metroid fan, you should at least be understanding of this position. Samus being sexualized, for example, used to be such a small fragment of the game that it could barely be described as a 5 second secret ending.
So when she strips for 5 seconds it's okay?

>Just because some obvious trolls agree with you doesn't make your opinion true.
My opinion was that sex fanservice and cinematic games always bring out shitposting and off-topic non-videogame discussion. Their presence in the thread pretty much shows that, doesn't it?

>Show me the numbers where the "masses" believe TF2 is dead.
Easily. Look at any TF2 thread that comes up on /v/. Infact, we just had one reach 500 posts today. The OP in the archive started with "erecting a tf2 thread" if you wanna look it up.

>Not every game had to appeal with your absurdly specific tastes.
So basic replayability is "absurdly specific". I guess that's like the absurdly specific desire for water to not have pollutants in it?

>That can apply to just about any game with a story.
That means there's a common problem; the story. The bigger the presence it has, the worse it becomes.

>That's like saying it's Nintendo's fault people are still talking about Persona.
Well, Nintendo has multiple RPGs exclusive to its handheld and hybrid console and regular console, so if more people are still playing Persona (especially since /v/ has claimed that only dudebros bought a Ps4, and nobody bought a Vita) then yes, it is Nintendo's fault for not at least getting in on that money, or making a better RPG.

>But that's entirely wrong. For all of those games.
Is that why Super Metroid and Metroid Prime can be discussed in harmony alongside Prime 2 and AM2R, while nobody ever discusses Pokemon outside of sun and Moon or those crappy side RPGs?

>So don't make games then?
Make games that are entertaining. You don't need to pander with gimmicks when your game mechanics are solid.

>You sound like a lolicon.

>>376665453
Metroid is far too much trouble than its worth, its a practically an active bomb at this point, while other franchises can stand a bad game and while waves would be made about it, nothing earth shattering will happen, but Other M absolutely destroyed any momentum the franchise had and turned the fanbase into an unstable mob, not helped by Federation Force at all, if a Metroid game comes and it backfiles, it will be a PR nightmare, and that scares people.

Honestly I'm pretty certain Retro will not show up at E3 for the 3rd year in a row. It sounds like they are just hiding folks for a project so whatever they were doing after TF got scrapped or they are redoing it.

>>376680443

>They're fucking CHILDREN. If you honestly believe Nintendo wanted to make them sexualized you're either an idiot or a pedophile.
Simple solution: don't have children in your game. Don't let the pedophiles even get a step in. I personally was disgusted by the game, because of reasons I mention in a previous post.

>It gets porn too,
It's actually extremely light on the porn, and is mostly done by commission or on dares. Discussion never prompts it, or people posting it.

>/vg/ as a whole is filled with people that don't talk about the game.
There are exceptions, but it depends on the game.

>Everything panders to a certain demographic.
How about showing love to the demographic that likes gameplay? Shun everyone else and tell them to take a long walk off a short cliff.

>The only time I've praised a game for sexy girls is when I've praised it for everything else. Sexy girls are the cherry on top.
That sounds like damage control if ever I heard it.

>So when she strips for 5 seconds it's okay?
No, it wasn't okay. It was tolerable, but I preferred if it didn't exist period. Prime 1 was the best in this, as it got rid of it period.

>Everyone always talked about the games, the cool collectibles, the differences between Super and Prime, and what have you. The games were light on story, so nobody cared about the cutscenes or lore. Samus was barely seen outside of her suit, so nobody really cared about her being a woman, or having tits.
Except it was kinda a big deal about her being a women in the first game.
>Then Other M, Zero Mission and Smash Brothers came along and decided that Samus needs to be a helpless idiot damsel with a magic suit that disappears when she gets sad and cries, so you can see her naked body for entire hours of cutscenes.
She's only like that in Other M.
>And then of course you had that filth Metroid Fusion, which decided that Samus needed more story and cutscenes and mandatory dialogue boxes that actively lock you in a room until you watch the damn cutscene. Cutscenes that weren't skippable, mind you.
One, Metroid always had story, it just wasn't in text boxes.
Second, the cutscenes were kinda important.
Third, fuck you for implying that Fusion us anywhere near bad. Is if linier as fuck? Yeah. Is it flawed? Yeah. But it's still fun.
>That is but one small cause for my hatred of cinematics and sex appeal. They destroy anything they touch.
You sound like jaded asshole.

I don't like shit like Neptunia or TLOS, but going so far as to say anything with a cutscene and a sexy girl is irredeemable garbage is just autistic. And you're cutting yourself off from some genuinely good games by doing this.

Like, did Tomb Raider rape your father or something?

Except again, those are different demographics.
>Is that why Super Metroid and Metroid Prime can be discussed in harmony alongside Prime 2 and AM2R, while nobody ever discusses Pokemon outside of sun and Moon or those crappy side RPGs?
I've seen plenty of people talk about 64, Sunshine, and just about any Pokemon generation. The only reason Sun and Moon are talked about so much are because they're current. What a surprise!

>Make games that are entertaining. You don't need to pander with gimmicks when your game mechanics are solid.
That's pretty much what every game does.
>Or someone who suffered through the waves of pedophiles in Splatoon general.
Why the hell would you even go there if you knew it would be filled with lolicons?

>>376680859

>Except it was kinda a big deal about her being a women in the first game.
And you can't jerk off to an 8 bit sprite, so it was a non-issue. also, I would like to add my hatred for the Justin bailey cheat, since they scrapped battery saving to have the password feature in, so we got an objectively inferior product because someone was horny that day in the dev office.

>She's only like that in Other M.
I beg to differ. She gets a booboo in Zero Misssion and her entire suit disappears, leaving her to fend for herself because she's too "emotionally damaged" to get the suit back. I find that more insulting than anything else. Meanwhile in Smash Brothers she becomes a helpless damsel until she strips into her underwear and wears high heels. Her power suit is completely useless and is considered one of the lowest tiers of characters.

>Second, the cutscenes were kinda important.
Calling bull on that one. they were only given the semblance of importance because Sakamoto wanted to play his hand at being George Lucas. If a competent developer were in charge, the game would've been better made without such gross emphasis on story. Infact, a dude named Metaquarius on youtube is fixing that right now.

>Third, fuck you for implying that Fusion us anywhere near bad.
It's playable, but in the same way that Sonic Boom is playable.

>I don't like shit like Neptunia or TLOS, but going so far as to say anything with a cutscene and a sexy girl is irredeemable garbage is just autistic.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that exactly. But you have to keep those elements in line, make sure they remember their place. When they steal the show, your game becomes trash. For example, you have to show me that you can make a good female character without relying on her sex appeal. Tell me a good video game story without cutscenes or dialogue. Let the gameplay be the narrator, it is the best one you could have for your narrative. Is that so much to ask?

>>376665453
Nintendo lost the schematics for Metroid, they don't know how to make it anymore.

Like how NASA lost the knowledge to go to the moon, that's why they have to redo everything to get to Mars.

And yet discussion of the other gens never happens unless in a blue moon. Try to stir up talk about Pokemon Black 2 and your thread 404's instantly.

Every non-cinematic non-fanservice game at least.

You don't have to be that extreme. Just make a good game whose selling point isn't the children in bike shorts. every weeaboo RPG can learn from this too, as can the new Zelda, especially with its degenerate crossdressing.

>I doubt that.
You should see the tf2 discussions. Even on /vg/ they're relatively tame.

>"it's okay dude, it's like cool looking and it has cool graphics man"

Startling lack of standards here, anon.

Thank you for proving my point, the lack of self awareness brings it all together.

EPD7-kun, please behave. redirect anyone wondering about Prime to these posts so they know Metroid 5 is up ahead than Sylux's game

Your point was that "dude, everyone else likes it, so there's a problem with YOU". That's it. Sorry, but this industry has shown that popularity means nothing.

>>376686718
No, my point was you would respond with the issues you (and only you) have with it like it matters when nobody cares.

>be friends with someone who's trying to lose weight
>you can't grasp that
>you bring them Mcdonalds home
>act surprised when they have a distaste for it because of their life choices, saying something like "dude, I knew you'd dislike it, which is why I brought it home. you're so whiny!"

May Gaben forgive me for this food analogy.

>>376686308
The only thing you're attempting it murdering my last patience. Shut up. No one is buying your hot garbage, you annoying, holier than thou shithead.
God I'd gladly get rid of women in video games if it means depriving you of your autism so you can go be annoying somewhere else.

>>376687503

See, this is what I'm talking about.

>autism
>hot garbage
>shithead

This is far from respectful dialogue. I have done nothing to merit such hateful speech.

>>376687672
This is 4chan, not the fucking Star Chamber, I can insult you as much as I like if I wanted to and you'll just have to learn to fucking deal with it, much like I have to learn to deal with you crashing every other bayo and most metroid threads in addition to that stupid web comic of Samus being a snarky little bitch about Zelda DARING to have an emotional response over a tragedy that had befell on her and her kingdom..

>>376687152
The fact you resorted to a food analogy that, as usual, makes zero sense doesn't help your case.

>>376687898

Anon, I don't even go into Bayonetta threads. See, when I see a game I don't like, I actively avoid it. It's also why I avoid Zelda and Persona threads. When I enter a thread, it's because I want to interject a little of my 2 cents into the discussion.

>in addition to that stupid web comic of Samus being a snarky little bitch about Zelda DARING to have an emotional response over a tragedy that had befell on her and her kingdom..
Only tumblr cares about emotions. I'm playing a video game, I want my emotional impact to come from the gameplay. I don't need no sissy cutscene telling me what to feel.

>I don't need no sissy cutscene telling me what to feel.
But you sure do feel the need to remind everyone of your stupid opinion.
Your opinion has been noted, now stop talking.

>>376688535

>But you sure do feel the need to remind everyone of your stupid opinion.
Imagine if I made you pay 60 dollars to hear my opinion. That's how I feel whenever I buy a cinematic movie game.

>>376688653

As has yours.

>>376688653
You seem to have a pretty shaky grasp on analogies. Both that food comment and this are completely nonsensical.

Not the guy you're "trolling", by the way.

>>376688827

>anyone who disagrees with me is trolling

Not a very mature attitude anon. Just saying. Is what I'm saying really "trtolling"?

>>376665453
Metroid maker?

...we... we can dream.

>>376688997
There's a reason I put that word in quotations, though I'm not surprised you wouldn't pick up on that.
Anyway, I don't believe you're being entirely sincere in your posts.

>>376689237

What makes you say that?
