Metroid: Samus Returns Hands-On Preview

In 1991, Cafe Nintendo makes a chocolate chip cookie. People like this chocolate chip cookie.

Over the decades, Chef Sakamoto keeps putting out chocolate chip cookies with more salt. The sales for Sakamoto’s salty cookies go down. Cafe Nintendo does not respond to the market. Instead, Cafe Nintendo keeps trying to sell Sakamoto’s increasingly salty cookies.

An amateur cook puts out a chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate. Everyone celebrates! If only Cafe Nintendo would put out chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate or, at least, without the salt.

Cafe Nintendo’s response is to send thugs to the amateur chef, bust up his kitchen, beat his ass, and destroy any existence of the chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate.

Cookie eaters are stunned. Why did Cafe Nintendo do this? “We are protecting our IP.” (IP stands for Intellectual Property which applies equally across products including cookies.)

The truth of this situation is that AM2R is not the issue. The truth of the situation is that IP is also not the issue.

This is all about one thing: Sakamoto.

Stop talking about AM2R. Talk about Sakamoto. Nintendo is circling the wagons around Sakamoto

no one fucking cares, the game is still readily available, not to mention completed. fuck off autist

>>382036297
With all of Sakamoto’s mistakes, you would think he’d be fired from Metroid franchise. But no. We have Metroid Returns (i.e. Sakamoto Returns) of a 3DS remake of Metroid 2.

Yet, AM2R has to be removed from the internet because Nintendo was scared.

Scared of what? Scared that an AMATEUR WORK can compete and outdo a ‘professional work’? Or is it more scared of how Sakamoto is perceived as being completely talent-less?

It raises the question: what does it take to get fired from being an IP director at Nintendo? Apparently making terrible games that sell bad and review bad is not enough. So what is it, Nintendo? How does one get fired at being IP director?

And why not give 2d Metroid to Retro? Retro can make 3d Metroid and can make 2d platformers. Clearly, Retro is qualified to make 2d Metroid. But Nintendo will never allow it because it would completely destroy Sakamoto who has nothing to list in his game accomplishments except for stuff like Tamagotchi Life and Warioware.

What the fuck is this?

>>382035027
Honestly the only way this game can be worth it after AM2R would be a huge rework of the map that makes it less of a linear tree. That general design choice of the original held AM2R back as well. Shedding it would make this remake worth it but i know that's not happening.

They should have done a Fusion remake instead before the Fusion remake guy finishes.

>>382036449

The fuck are you gurning about? It's still freely available if you're not retarded

The map is completely reworked but it will probably still be as linear as the original was.

Also what does Fusion gain from being remade, it still holds up well today.

>>382037637
Nintendo would gain from making a remake that wasn't already thrashed.

this is only a metroid fanbase mindset right?

>>382043742
Halo fanbase as well, if 343 manages to make Halo 6 good, the Bungie faggots will come in and hate the game and shill two of Bungie's worst Halo games ODST and Reach when the only good Halo games Bungie made was Halo 1-3 because they had talent that gave a shit when they made those three games.

>>382044029
ODST was good. It was just overpriced for what it was. Reach was good too.

>>382043742
To be fair, it was an incredibly shitty game.

>>382044184
That's debatable, both felt like a significant downgrade after the Halo Trilogy, this is mainly due to guys at Bungie leaving to make Destiny and leaving the company for good after Halo 3.

I think Zero Mission played a bigger role, that's where you see the start of the weakass waifu shit that Sakamoto shoehorned in after Yokoi died and the people who actually created Samus moved on to other stuff.

Impressions from TIME:

>As did I during my brief hands-on with the game. It felt like coming home and simultaneously rethinking what home means. Metroid: Samus Returns is more than memory lane traipsing or fanbase indulgence. It feels poised, fluid, intuitive, and in motion, little like the original flat black-and-pea-green Game Boy adventure. It is both what series fans didn't know they wanted, and if you take a longer view of the 3DS's prospects as an established vehicle for distinctive experiences, precisely what Nintendo's two-screen handheld needs.

343i has made like 5 Halo games and they're all shit

>>382045374
>Leaving to make Destiny

Uh you know Destiny was made by Bungie right? And ODST was originally supposed to be a 15-30$ expansion

>>382053238
Yes, those guys didn't leave Bungie "yet" but they weren't involved with ODST and Reach's development which is why both were shit.

>>382053110
They only made two, Halo Anniversary and MCC were outsourced. Halo 4 campaign wasn't too bad but it wasn't great either, everything else about Halo 4 was just COD in space and 343 took too long to patch the game along with add content that should have been in the game since launch. It also didn't help that they outsourced Forge in Halo 4 as well. Halo 5 was just bad decisions after bad decisions. Making the same mistake Bungie did with Halo 2's, ODST, and Reach's campaigns and sidelining the Chief, removing split screen and lan, once again adding content to the multiplayer late when that shit should have been there at launch, again.

Shit, Metroid threads continue to be no fun and false flag even though Nintendo is trying to satisfy both 2D and 3D fans.
Just pirate AM2R and wait for the new titles to drop, you fucking faggots instead of complaining.

Why are Metroid threads always so fucking awful? You can't go even five posts before shitflinging and false flagging starts and the thread always dies in flames.

No. Smashtards are persuaded Sakurai is literally fucking Satan for making Sm4sh even though Kid Icarus Uprising proves he's still a talented dev.

>>382055529
When did people decide Sm4sh was bad? It blows Brawl out of the water, although I miss SSE and the stage creator because the Sm4sh stage creator was pure ass.

>>382055529
KIU is such a good fucking game, I'd love for more games to use its control scheme but a lot of people couldn't handle it

>>382055529
If anything, Mashed Potato is bored as fuck of smash and would rather make other games. Uprising is oozing with character while sm4sh is phoned in, with Namco fixing everything he left broken.

Smash has no black sheep because they're all so similar with minor tweaks.

>>382057001
Like Halo Wars, no one gave a shit about a couple of phone games. When it comes to Halo, people only care about the FPS series not the RTS series, or the phone games.

>MC collection was 343i's fault and Halo 4 had a shit story
MCC was outsourced but you are right on that part, they should have just released Halo 2 Anniversary, they've even lamented that. Halo 4 story was crap but it was still better than Halo 5, I also found myself enjoying the campaign more than ODST and Reach as well.

How do you know that's area 4 in Metroid II?

>>382068550
I think that's an error on the original image creators part.

>>382059790
Reminder that the co-director of Other M is Takehiko Hosokawa.

The director of the Mario/Wario Land games.

>>382068550
While nothing was ever said officially, strategy guides liked to label every section of the game where the music cut out as an Area or a Phase. To that end there were about 10 or so in the game. "Area 4" in that image is indeed one of the areas where the music cut out to background noises.
AM2R took a different approach and left that area and a couple others as part of the main cavern, so there aren't as many distinct areas.
And since Samus Returns is deviating from the original map so much, we don't have a clue what's going on there, but the areas are labelled.

>>382068550
People tend to split up the regions by the earthquakes. Every time you get a new selection of Metroids to kill and can't progress further until you do so it's considered a distinct area, no matter how big or small.

Whether the remake follows suit with that remains to be seen, but the map looks so heavily modified that it likely doesn't matter.

This, Retro has never made a good game.

>>382070021
I always wonder about the elevators in Metroid games period, especially the 3D games. Like, why have the built rocket-powered elevators that would take them from one big area, into another completely different area, but make the elevators only able to accommodate like, 40 people at most? I guess they could move supplies and stuff that way but even then, that doesn't seem optimal, because there's only so much you could put on those. Why is there only one elevator in every elevator room? Shouldn't there be way more than that? Can they not into logistics? Why are those areas linked together specifically? And so on.

>>382070102
Every single game Retro has ever made, aside from Prime 3, has been god-tier.

Hell, Fusion is my most played one, though it may just be nostalgia. That game used to scare me shitless but then I completed it as I got older.

>>382070872
Haven't yet but plan to, I hearing a different story on mp, campaign level design is an improvement over Halo 4 even if the story is shit and you barely play Master Chief. ODST and Reach showed that Bungie are hacks without the guys who actually give a shit about making a good video game. Reading about Bungie's Halo development I'm surprised at how good Halo 1-3 turned out and how shit ODST and Reach turned out.

>>382072321
I think it's the forced linearity, the plot, and the removal of some of the advanced movement from Super, but I'm not sure. I don't hold Fusion in contempt.

See, the thing is that people don't like when Metroid games tell them what to do or where to go. The feeling of "Aha" when you find a power up and remember where you need to use it to explore even more gets lost when something or smoeone gives you orders.

>>382072621
That and bomb hopping and wall jumping were gimped in Fusion

>>382072603
Are the majority of Metroid games linear? I don't know anon, you mean the series characterized by labyrinthine map design, sequence breaking and advanced movement tech to support that?

We say Fusion is "linear" because it generally lacks some of those basic features. There's really about 1 major route thru the game, whereas prior entries could be tackled in a few different directions based on player skill.

>>382072992

>t. some fat fuck virgin who thinks food analogies are the best because he loves food, even when the analogies don't make sense.

>>382072603
It masks it's linearity well. Like for example lets say you get to a door you can't open. You try using your missiles but they don't work. So there's a zone that the game doesn't want you to go to but it tells you that through its own game design. Later you find Super Missiles and it turns out they're the same color as the door you couldn't open. But the game leaves it to you to remember that. Or maybe you forgot but all the pathways you got lead to dead ends so you have no choice but to try your new weapon against the door.

Either way it's the game design that guides you through the game and pushes you forward, not a stupid textbox or cutscene trigger. And there are even ways to sequence break the game to get to out of bounds areas early if you know what you're doing. Unlike Fusion where shuts off areas until you complete the mission the game wants you to complete.

>>382072621
>heavily story driven
I feel like people don't know what that means. When people say story driven I think of something like MGS or an rpg with hours of dialogue and cutscenes to pad everything out.
Fusion and prime are just the occasional talk to static npc in a certain room thing and 95% of the time you're off on your own somewhere.
They're certainly still more exploratory and isolationist than most other games.

AM2R was known about for YEARS. It was hyped like crazy and everyone knew about it and was excited about it. Nintendo could have stopped it there, but they waited until the game was not only finished, but publicly released. The game had an entire 2-3 days where it was freely downloadable from the official website, and now everyone who wanted it has played it and it's still widely available from torrents and fileshares.

Honestly, Nintendo handled AM2R in literally the least shitty way they possibly could have and I'm glad for how they did it because it means now I have the best Metroid game of all time downloaded on my computer forever.

>>382073585
Story driven for a Metroid game. As in there are checkpoints between the exploration where the game throws the story at you. It's still better than a lot of other "Metroidvania" style games but still annoying within the Metroid series.

>>382072603
The intended sequence can be broken pretty easily in Super and to a lesser extent in Zero Mission, but it is impossible to do so in Fusion, barring that shinespark trick.

>>382073849
Not even barring that because the game congratulates you for doing it and then tells you to go back

>>382073585

why would you compare it to RPG games and not to other Metroid games?

>Fusion and prime are just the occasional talk to static npc in a certain room thing and 95% of the time you're off on your own somewhere.
Yes but most Metroid games don't have any dialog and people like it that way. When something like Fusion Prime3 and Other M start imposing their story in a series that doesn't need it it's not surprising that fans become upset

Nintendo uses marketers just like everyone else does. E3 is one big marketing event. Metroid Other M and Federation Force blew up in their faces, and they want Metroid Samus Returns to be successful. “I just cannot wait to play this game!” says the marketer. “Metroid has terrible fans!” scolds the marketer. And yet we embraced a Metroid made by an unknown development studio.

The marketers are having a tough time because of Retro Studios. Retro Studios, which created THE BEST SELLING Metroid game of all time, Metroid Prime, showed that Sakamoto is not needed to make Metroid games that sell strong and are highly received by fans.

Sakamoto… let me tell you about him. When Other M launched, they tried to make Sakamoto into a ‘game god’ like Miyamoto with Mario or Aonuma with Zelda. Aonuma has the excuse of never having played games when he started making them. Sakamoto is someone who is hellbent on MY VISION OR ELSE and will literally march the wrong way.

Sakamoto was never a ‘designer’ of Metroid. He was a pixel artist. Gunpei was manager of the group. Sakamoto doesn’t even know the technical side of video games! This is why Nintendo has to get a Team Ninja or Mercury Team to partner up with him where they get to put out ‘his vision of Metroid’ out.

>>382076436
No and yes

Metroid Other M was the clearest and most obvious title to point to Sakamoto not having a clue what Metroid is about. I won’t go into details as to why as you have all heard them. But let’s look further.

Metroid Fusion destroyed the Metroid storyline. So linear with too much stupid dialogue. Sakamoto doesn’t understand gaming. He just wants to be like an italian movie director.

What was GOOD about Fusion is that it shared some of the gameplay of Super Metroid. But that is about that.

What was GOOD about Zero Mission is that, aside from some of its Super Metroid gameplay, it shared the CONTENT of original Metroid. This spared Zero Mission from storytime with Adam.

Did you know that Metroid Samus Returns will have cutscenes? Oh yes. Sakamoto has to show off his love of Italian movie directors.

More fundamental is that Sakamoto is determined that Samus be a ninja where we want her to be a WOMAN in a BADASS SUIT. Samus is the video game version of Spenser’s Britomart. Sakamoto’s vision of Metroid is Sci-Fi Ninja Gaiden on a Space Station… complete with cinematic interludes.

>>382077156

The new autistic hotness!

Now Sakamoto is back to ret-conning old Metroids, this time with Metroid 2.

It will have cutscenes because Sakamoto believes he is genius movie director.

It was have explanations of Chozo and Metroids because Sakamoto believes he is genius creative mind.

It will have everything about Metroid you don’t give a shit about.

The question I have is,

“What does a Nintendo director have to do to be removed from a game series?”

Destroying the lore doesn’t do it. (Fusion)

Destroying the franchise doesn’t do it. (Other M)

The only bright spot in the entire Metroid franchise since Super Metroid has been the Metroid Prime series which Sakamoto has no say. Metroid Prime remains the best selling Metroid game. And it sold on Gamecube!! Meanwhile, Sakamoto has the install base of Wii and his game sells like shit.

We learned from Aonuma’s interview that you don’t have to have any gaming experience whatsoever to be hired as game director at Nintendo. What we’re learning with Sakamoto is that product performance means nothing.

I suspect Nintendo thinks we will all buy it because “2d Metroid.”

>>382076551
Did you know that Sakamoto made Super Metroid?

>>382077076
The opening cutscene shows flashbacks to previous Samus missions including her fight with Mother Brain, Ridley killing her parents, multiple scenes of her hunting bounties we haven't seen before, and finally shots of the Phazon Crisis

Not totally sure why that last part specifically is off limits. I guess they don't want to distract from the hype with Prime teases? It's not much, but either way as a long time Metroid fan I thought it was hype as fuck.

>>382077226
That's very possible. It also means they're way too dedicated to shitposting, and I'll never understand why.

>>382035027
Still looks like ass. It's baffling that a spic in his basement made the best Metroid game. Proof that Nintendo doesn't deserve this ip.

Anyone knows about the control scheme? Nobody talks about it but if this is circle pad only it'll be a pain in the ass.

Fusion had the perfect Samus characterization. She wasn't "RIP TEAR KILL" like so many fans want her to be. She actually came off as thoughtful, heroic, and even jaded. While I imagine her interactions with other people would be short and unsubstantial, I loved how much internal thinking she had.

Metroid fans are allergic to any degree of plot after the advent of Other M.

>>382075927
Did you enjoy what you played?

>>382077450
Circle Pad only. Control + Pad activates Aeon Abilities.
Morph Ball can be activated using the touch screen, so I don't see the issue. That was a problem I had playing Fusion on 3DS; morphing could get kinda slow.

STOP RESPONDING TO HIM YOU FUCKING MORONS

>>382077360
>Not totally sure why that last part specifically is off limits
Probably because it would firmly cement the Prime games in the same timeline as the other games. Something that's always been a bit up in the air I believe.

>>382077360
Why does Metroid II need an intro like that?

>>382077662
Oh god is it ACFag again?

>>382077726
You all are gonna turn him into that, that's for sure. Unless he's just responding to himself, in which case, he's already ACfag.

>>382077717

I guess to remind people that though the title says 2 and Samus Returns, it's technically not her second chronological adventure?

It goes OG (or ZM now I guess), Prime series, then II/SR.

What do Nintendo fans want with a 2d Metroid? Well, start with Super Metroid but with HD graphics and modern atmosphere effects. Similar Super Metroid map, but then add MUCH MORE.

“But Malstrom!”cries the reader. “That would never work. It all has to be brand new.”

Super Metroid is nothing but 8-bit Metroid, spruced up in graphics and modern controls, still at Zebes but with additional areas. Super Metroid turned out all right. Why not Ultra Metroid?

As far as a 3d game goes, use the Zelda BoW “Wow!” engine. The Havok engine even has the ball physics already baked in. Most of the work is already done. The ‘shrines’ would be elevators that take you down to different areas like in the original. Game world is already open air and would work great with space jump. Open World Metroid. DO IT!

It is so odd that Metroid Prime 4 was announced to be in development. Nintendo doesn’t announce games in development. Maybe Nintendo saw the Sakamoto Train Wreck coming with Metroid 2. Or maybe Nintendo saw the reaction to Zelda BoW “Wow!” and wishes to reuse the expensive engine to make a game people want to buy.

>>382077581
Very much. I'm overly satisfied.

>>382077717
I don't know but it was really enjoyable nonetheless. If the rest of the "cutscenes" in this game are like this one, then I think Sakamoto has found a happy middleground when it comes to storytelling in Metroid. It felt very natural for the series and nothing like the other m cinematic schlock

>>382077662

You sperging out about people responding to him is just as bad as people responding to him.

>>382077685
It's always been the same timeline, Prime references Metroid 1 a lot.

The 2D games never directly mention the Prime series, though that's due to the only entry made post-Prime being a remake of a game set before it.

>>382077717
Nintendo's probably assuming that after the long hiatus they need to recap the games a bit to get new players up to speed.
There's a genuine interest in Metroid right now from people who have never touched it just due to the commotion surrounding the E3 announcements.

How many "acfags" are there in these other threads.
I have only seen this kind of autism in metroid threads.

It’s because Nintendo doesn’t understand Metroid. All Nintendo understands is anime and child-like amusement.

Nintendo doesn’t understand we think 2d Metroid is a work of beauty and shouldn’t be on seven year old hardware on a small tiny resolution.

Nintendo doesn’t understand that Sakamoto doesn’t understand Metroid. Sakamoto destroyed the storyline with Fusion, retconned with Zero Mission, destroyed the franchise with Other M, and is now shitting on all of us with the remake.

Does Sakamoto even watch the Alien movies? Has he seen Prometheus or Alien Covenant? You’d think they could take some inspiration at least aesthetically. Sakamoto has shown he doesn’t have the talent. He keeps failing with these games, why doesn’t Nintendo place 2d Metroid with someone else?

Why is Sakamoto allowed to get near Metroid after the huge, huge Metroid Other M disaster?

At least the two new Metroid amibos look cool.

>>382078496
No voice acting but Samus had some text during that cutscene. Nothing more then simple "When I began my first mission on planet zebes..." Yada yada yada "It was then I..." Etc. It felt like similar to the opening of super Metroid in a way

>>382078291
The Prime series was totally irrelevant to Other M's story so it had no reason to be brought up.
There's some inconsistencies with the portrayal of some stuff between Other M and Prime but that's the case for Other M and every game in the series, it's poorly written.

I never saw anyone treat Prime as another continuity until people started shitposting a mistranslated version of that one Sakamoto interview everywhere.

>>382078171
Sounds like a right cunt

>>382072621
Super was just as linear if you cut out the autistic sequence breaking which most players never bothered with anyway.

No it's not him, Sean Malstrom is an adamant hater of Sakamoto. He hates all of his works on Metroid from story to gameplay, he hates that a story was added to Super Metroid and he feels that 2D Metroid since Super have been dumbed down and causlized and he gives over whelming praise for Metroid and Metroid II while acting as though Sakamoto had nothing to do with Metroid NES's success. This guy got banned from all forum sites he was on and make all of these dumbass blogs of how much he hates Sakamoto and Nintendo. He's a serious mental case.

>>382078879
So Metroid threads are different.

There is clearly something wrong with the metroid fanbase. I think we should be banned to /vg/ or something. Every thread is pure cancer.

Doubt they see a necessity in outright stating the two as separate continuities, likely just don't want to intermingle the vision of different developers. But it raises the question of who is developing MP4

>>382078761
This

>>382078841

I think a lot of people confuse "linearity" with being given direction, if I'm wording that right. Super has a pretty clear path of progression in terms of what upgrades you get and what order you encounter bosses, but the way to get from point A to B to C and so on isn't laid out for the player and the game requires the trademark mostly-aimless wandering and prodding at dead ends to progress.

The "linear" Metroids (e.g. Fusion) tell you exactly where to go and when for major progression, removing a bit of that exploratory element. In Fusion's case in particular, it straight up locks you off from areas as it goes until nearly the end of the story.

>>382078761
Since E3 we've had multiple threads about how people would react if Nintendo revealed they're different timelines/universes. With some people going in detail about how many plotholes there are if Prime is in the same timeline. So it seems to be a pretty popular theory.

Personally I'd be glad if Prime was referenced in the Metroid 2 remake, so it would put those different continuity theories to bed.

>>382074550
If it's anything like the Sanctuary Fortress translator, just scan it from a different angle/distance.

>>382079175
>a single energy bolt is enough to send chunks off of Samus' armor

Hey Adam shot Samus in the back with a standard GF round and completely incapacitated both Samus and her armor. Don't knock it.

>>382079081
>>382079278
Still got plenty 'ahah!' moments when hunting down missiles/energy tanks/power bombs, or simply figuring out how to get from A to B in Fusion.

It was enough for me at least, and I was happy that they at least replaced it with making the space station feel more alive than Zebes, with the SA-X and Nightmare damaging bits of the station or the station itself malfunctioning. Made me more eager to run around the place at least.

How much extra time do you get on Phazze per energy tank you've collected in Prime 3?

>>382079923
99 seconds worth per tank.

>>382079278
What confuses me is that even the people who shit on Fusion tend to praise the likes of SA-X and the endgame missions as being standout moments in the game. Even though they're scripted elements that only worked in the first place because of the games linearity allowing them to provide objectives and then subvert the players expectations.

Whenever Fusion gets criticism it always feels like it's just being criticized for not being Super Metroid without taking into consideration the context. It's an action game first and foremost but the elements that make it a good action game are treated as objective weaknesses. It's no different from the people who shit on Hunters as one of the worst Metroid games because it had a weak single player campaign when the game is a handheld Quake clone built around its extensive online multiplayer, they're missing the bigger picture.

Don't be upset because I'm more skilled than you are.
I can also play full 3D games with just a keyboard or a D+Pad. It always confuses me how people had trouble playing Super Mario 64 DS.
So basically what I'm saying is: git gud.

Notice how Sakamoto keeps trying to remove Samus’s suit? Zero Mission completely removed Samus’s suit and made her ninja. Fusion new Samus was removing her suit (they cut it off). In Other M, Samus cutscenes and all were about Samus as a woman.

Metroid games are a story, but it is a story about the suit. The SUIT starts off with nothing and is crappy. But the SUIT gets stronger, better, and you can even upgrade it to VARIA suit (ooohhhhh) or GRAVITY suit (aaaaaahhhhhh). When you get missile and energy tank upgrades, you are getting SUIT upgrades!

The hero is the suit. Samus happens to be the pretty girl inside it. Even the Metroids aren’t that interesting as they have to keep evolving and mutating (Metroid 2, etc.) in order to keep up with the growing-in-power SUIT.

>>382081967
3D games with 2D input is a different thing. You're always at 100% input values in there, so you're limited but there's no delay on your movement. It's ok just not optimal.

For 2D games it's an entirely different story. If your defense for playing with delay is "git gud" that's about the same as saying driving a fucking car with square wheels and calling it fine.

>>382074803
How can you be so retarded that you didn't even double check your information?
This guy >>382081041 is correct. The Only 2D game Sakamoto wasn't the Director for was Metroid 2, and he never did Pixel Art.

>>382081967
It's less about "giting gud" as the games are still easy and more about it being ankward as fuck to play with. It doesn't feel good when you're never in complete control of something.

>>382081695
not an argument

>>382082194
>>382082353
I feel bad for you people.
You keep throwing excuse after excuse and not actually trying to git gud.
I have complete control. Why don't you? Because you won't git gud. Pretty simple.

>>382082472
>I have complete control
As long as it takes you even 0.1ms more than it'd normally take go shift from left to right due to circle pad travel, you don't.

Getting used to shitty controls isn't "giting gud".

I'll either emulate this on Citra since I have a strong computer or use input redirection.

>>382078741
>Has he seen Prometheus or Alien Covenant? You’d think they could take some inspiration at least aesthetically.

Literally worse than Other M.

>>382078741
>Sakamoto doesn’t understand Metroid

He's the director and main creative force behind every 3D Metroid that's not Metroid 2, yet he doesn't understand something that mostly he created?

>>382082814
*2D Metroid

>>382078741
>Does Sakamoto even watch the Alien movies?
Every Metroid plot point is lifted from the Alien movies so I guess so.

Honestly the thing about he Metroids being an artificial life form already is kinda like prometheus

When you look at Metroid sales, the less influence Sakamoto has, the better the Metroid sells. Metroid Prime is the best selling Metroid game. “That is because,” huffs the hardcore, “people bought Metroid Prime thinking it was Halo. No one actually likes Metroid Prime.” And yet, Metroid Prime 2 sold over a million. On. The. Gamecube. For a game as difficult and mature as Metroid, the Gamecube is a tough platform to sell on. Metroid Prime 3 also sold over a million, and then its sales fell off a cliff due to the Trilogy version (people would just buy Trilogy instead of Prime 3 of course).

Metroid Prime Hunters also sold over a million. Imagine that!

The real reason why Metroid Zero Mission did not sell that well was because of how bad Fusion was and how bad Zero Mission was. Sakamoto does not know how to make Metroid games. There. I said it!

Even a game like Super Metroid is seen differently today than it was when it came out. I remember. I was there. Super Metroid was fairly disappointing to Metroid fans then, and it quickly entered the bargain bin. Months later, Donkey Kong Country came out and overshadowed it. Metroid went on recess due to Super Metroid. Super Metroid’s late popularity has more to do with how easy the game is compared to other games of its era. Super Metroid is like 16-bit NES Metroid but in Kiddie Mode. As a huge fan of Metroid, I never bought Super Metroid when it came out because I could beat the game in a rental. I did buy it when it was firesold at $20. The last battle with the giant Metroid and Dino Mother Brain was STUPID. But I am sure Sakamoto thinks it is so genius as he made a movie out of it in the intro cutscene of Other M.

>>382082628
That's the definition of giting gud, moron.
The problem here though is that the controls aren't shitty. You are.
I grow weary of this back and forth. I'm going to bed.

>>382079751
I'm quite glad that this and Zero Mission fleshed out Samus' backstory just enough to render the manga obsolete. They provided the perfect amount of backstory, whereas the manga was like a proto-Other M.

>>382082953
>Still has nothing to say about travel delay because it's true
Alright so we agree on that then. Now obviously they're shitty because you have to do extra work for a single action.

You can fuck off now.

>>382082953
>the controls aren't shitty. You are.

Not him, but are you seriously defending delayed input?

>>382082814
Well according to him Adam is Samus's father figure even though she was literally raised by Chozo. Also Samus is apparently super afraid of Ridley because she didn't expect him to come back, even though by this point in the story she knows all the monsters on the Bottle Ship are clones taken from the blood and guts on her armor, and Ridley could just as easily be among them. Also how MOM has less exploration than even Fusion with a completed map from the jump and invisible walls and randomly locked doors meant to keep you strung along a narrative. Even though Metroid doesn't typically do that and the ones that do aren't halfway this intrusive. So yeah I'd call his understanding of the series into question.

>>382082925
Yeah, I'm glad we're getting a new 2D Metroid and all, but in complete honesty, I rather they keep Sakamoto the fuck away from Metroid.

>>382083050
He is, that's what nintenbros do.

SPEEDBOOSTER

SPEEDBOOSTER and more Grapple beam

I also really like the screw attack but the speedbooster's noise in Fusion made my dick hard

speedbooster puzzles were my favorite

Which of the screw attack colors do you guys prefer? The yellowish from Prime? Green from Super? I think the Zero Mission one was purple? Again, Fusion's is my favorite

>>382085198
>Which of the screw attack colors do you guys prefer?
Green all the way. I especially like the SAX sprite when it uses it.

>>382085198
What Metroid comic is that from?

>>382085596
It's the official art from the Super Metroid days.

>>382085596
its from the Super guide pretty sure.

>>382085821
If Nintendo wanted Nintendo Power to survive then they should have kept doing those comics. Would have set them apart from other gaming magazines.

>>382084448
This desu, even just ripping away riot shields or maiming certain creatures was fun but I kind of want the grapple beam to fill in for quick melee. It should be an extension of combat as much as Indiana Jones' whip is for him. Maybe every enemy can be grappled under a certain health threshold and you can either yank them towards you for a kick finisher or fling enemies around. I want to lasso pirates and throw them from great heights.

>>382085945
nintendo power got worse and worse the second pokemon was a thing, entire rag became a huge pokemon commercial and nothing else issue after issue.

>>382084312
>FAVORITE METROID POWERUP?
Speed Booster and Shinespark.
>WHAT POWERUPS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE RETURN OR GET INTRODUCED IN METROID PRIME 4?
The same ones I mentioned. Also the Power Grip, a reworked Space Jump that acts more like the 2D games, and so on.

>>382074212

AM2R did a phenomenal job with the suit sprites. It's really the perfect compromise between Super and Zero Mission.

Guys, I still can't find the Wood Beam in Super Metroid. Where is it?

>>382087331
That game has fantastic sprite work in general. Shit makes me want to pick up pixel art.

>>382084312
>FAVORITE POWER UP?
Wave beam. I love shooting through walls, and how strong it makes you feel compared to what you just were.
>POWERUPS IN PRIME 4?
I want to see Samus with a booster system, Armored Core style. I want offensive use of the Morph Ball. I want missile pods in her shoulders. I want a Graviton Beam that cuts 70km holes in the planet.

Realistically, it'd be cool to have some kind of melee counter like they introduced in Samus Returns. Something to bat away saber pirates when they get close. Samus' hand comes up, why can't her gun arm?

>>382055529

Instead of that shit, why don't we make the grapple beam more like Widowmaker's grappling hook and allow her to grapple onto basically anything, allowing it to pull her up surfaces or swing anywhere?

>>382088152
as much as I love grappling hooks that let you climb everything, it doesn't work for Metroid.

>>382088275
Why not? The 2D games already have the Space Jump, which is almost the same concept in practice.

You'd just need to design the game around abilities like that. Honestly, I want Prime 4 to shake up the items entirely and play faster and sort of crazier in terms of what you're allowed to do with the tools at hand. But as long as they design the game around new abilities like that, it should be fine.

>>382088275
>it doesn't work for Metroid.

what the fuck I reading. The 2D games already let you fly infinitely and climb up the walls

>>382088152
I'm imagining Samus yelling like Tarzan while swinging from her grappling hook for some reason
