I'm fail to understand why it's so hard for /v/ to watch the ending of Treehouse Day 1 with Sakamoto talking about how Samus Returns "opens the potential of the 2D Metroid franchise" along with his IGN interview hinting at Metroid Dread (Metroid 5). I think I just BTFO'd your ass.

Yesterday I decided to crop Samus death image to see the height difference of suit and suitless Samus, it looks like Samus (with heels) is the same height as her Power Suit.

PS: Don't you faggots dare turned this into a Sakamoto shit flinging contest again.
>>
>>382850476
Not him but anything that pertains to the main series is Sakamoto's jurisdiction, why are people still getting this confused? Prime 4 will happen after Fed shit and before Metroid II like all Prime games.
>>
>>382850535
If she's wearing heels then by definition she isn't as tall as the suit. Also heels wouldn't even fit in the armor since it's got a flat boot.
>>
>>382851000
Samus never fit in the suit. Shoulders too wide, head too low, etc.

They cut most of it off her and you get the skeleton-crew mess of a design up top, but I must have mis-remembered the ending or something because of course Nintendo wouldn't do anything interesting with their space waifu - >>382852306

Samus is like the least interesting part of Metroid and every second post about the game has gotta be about her boring ass.
>>
>>382852329
Don't listen to him, when Samus was infected by the X at the beginning of the game, the suit couldn't come off due to her being unconscious. When she received strains of Metroid DNA, it killed the X and allowed her to take her suit off again because she was conscious.
>>
>>382842304
Speaking of Fusion, does anyone have that fanart of Samus having metroid facial features?
>>
>>382852485
They fucking did, maybe you should go look at the height difference of Samus in heels vs Power Suit Samus in Other M, and then come back and tell me they didn't fix her height again.
>>
>>382842304
base Fusion suit is is top 3 armor. the others being Varia and Phazon
>>
>>382852718
If the suit is 6'3", then she'd need to be like 6'1" to really fit in it properly. Wearing those heels from Other M, which I'll assume from looking at it are around 5", she's clearly around 5'6", 5'7". The heels literally do not fit in the suit, there isn't room for her feet inside the boot. Knowing this, she is very clearly too short for the suit itself.
>>
>>382852973
She's 5'11" in 2D Metroid games that includes this one, Other M doesn't exist since there is only two types of Metroid games.

Look I'm certain that every Metroid fan would love for that to be the truth, but it does exist unfortunately. We are going to be dealing with the fallout from it in the series probably for as long as Sakamoto is in charge and maybe even longer. You, me, and everyone else is just going to have to accept that.

>>382853902

Definitely not true, there is nothing in Fusion that says this. She can take the helmet off, it's very obviously a piece of physical equipment that she wears.

Sorry to hurt your feelings but in Samus Returns's dev diary, Sakamoto completely skipped over Other M's existence when talking about 2D Metroid stating that "Metroid Samus Returns is the FIRST 2D Metroid game since Metroid Zero Mission in 13 YEARS". So even to Sakamoto, Other M doesn't exist.

It looks like a 2D Metroid game, it plays like a 2D Metroid game, it sounds like a 2D Metroid game, and chances are it feels like a 2D Metroid game too, so I guess that means it's a 2D Metroid game.

Well it's really more that they see Metroid as two series:

>The classic "mainline" series produced by Sakamoto
>The Prime "side story" series produced by Tanabe

Other M falls into the former of course. It's worth nothing that OM actually was going to be a 2(.5)D game, hence why the game plays with the Wiimote on its side. It's just that Team Ninja wanted to make a 3D character action game using the Nunchuck, but Sakamoto was insistent on the NES styled controls. TN scrambled together a protoype which had their character action game setup while playing with the Wiimote on its side, and Sakamoto agreed to it.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/03/11/gdc-10-metroid-director-wanted-classic-controls

>he insisted that the game would be an on-rails side-scrolling adventure that used the Wii remote exclusively like an NES/Famicom controller. But Team Ninja really wanted to make it a nunchuk-analog controlling game for 3D foreground/background exploration. Sakamoto stood firm on the Wii remote exclusivity. When the Team Ninja came up with an idea that could incorporate Sakamoto's Wii remote focus into a non-on-rails design, he was skeptical -- but when he finally saw what they came up with, he thought the solution was perfect. They called it "Famicom Game Plus."

It sucks but you also have to blame Sakamoto for accepting it like that and not putting his foot down and insisting that the gameplay would be 2.5D like he originally envisioned. Alternatively if he wanted to embrace Team Ninja's character action game concept, he should of done it all the way and let them take advantage of the nun-chuck and its extra buttons so the combat wouldn't end up being some bizarre compromised mess.

Although even if the game was 2D, it probably would of still had the horribad story and linear level design. But it could of still been a fun action game like Fusion, I suppose.

Because the Fusion Suit worked on data while the Power Suit worked on hardware, Samus does not retain any of the powerups she got.

The "Under/Over 2 hours and Under 15% Collection" runs are canon. She destroys a bunch of shit without upgrades and you're supposed to skip shit entirely with glitches and sequence breaking for the most part. Why do you think some games gave you a different ending for doing that?
She isn't shown losing a bunch of stuff because she never got them before. Just look at Metroid Prime. She should have lost more than the Varia Suit, the Morph Ball, and the Charge Beam in the tutorial.

If you use the Japanese voices she's gasping in pain and not Anguish. Ridley basically destroys her suit in one grab but the american voice actor sucked too much to convey that.
>>
>>382862709
You can't assume that what she starts with is the canon equipment she received in the previous game.

In Prime you start with none of the items you're required to have at the end of Zero Mission, and if you're going by the first game she has a ton of items that did not exist at that point. Not to mention the grapple beam is in neither version of the game despite being in Primes tutorial, nor does she have the ice beam that you need to finish both versions of the game.

And within the Prime series alone you're required to get most items but they rarely carry over to the next installment. It's just a gameplay abstraction that exists for the sake of making a decent videogame, and something that doesn't need a canon explanation. We don't need a reason for why Mega Man can't use every previous boss attack in each new installment of the classic series, or why Zelda dungeons happen to always have an item in them that acts as a solution to every puzzle within it, so this should not be a concern in Metroid.

I can honestly see them doing this.
The sole reason they came up with the Fusion Suit is because they specifically wanted to shake things up and change Samus' appearance, but (and I say this while liking the Fusion Suit myself) it didn't really go over well with the fanbase. I can see them going back on it by copping out like that. Hell, they've already done it once in Zero Mission.

What are you hoping for the next armor gimmick in Prime 4 (or if they even add anything new to Samus Returns not that they have a reason to)?

>>382864314
I've literally never seen anyone shit on the fusion suit, which is really surprising because the fan base is very polarized about that game.

Nah, the "mucus" of her orange fusion suit is basically dead, expect her armor to be back to normal next episode - save for the helmet if they want to be consistent, but even that is not a given.

>>382842507
It's not like it'd be that interesting. Samus will have to face some punishment for destroying an entire fucking planet, but since she was trying to save the galaxy from X and Adam can testify against (yet another) rogue Fed faction trying to weaponize metroids and X, she should be fine.
Her DNA is back to "normal" too, so no metroid Samus shenanigans like some people imagined.

And let's not pretend Sakamoto had an idea to do a follow-up.

Basically the only thing a Fusion sequel would bring is no more SR-388 and an Adam AI companion - fat luck now that everybody hate Adam.

So yeah nobody's in any hurry to make a M5 taking place after Fusion

>>382871079
>ZM is considered of the best despite it also being pretty casual
Is it? I don't see people hyping it up too much. The problem is, until Other M, pretty much every single game was good to great, which makes talking about "one of the best" a bit of confusing issue. Unless you really dislike the 2D or Prime style, there wasn't a single game that you shouldn't have played. Hunters and Pinball are whatever.

I think it's mostly that ZM came out post the introduction of the Prime series and in the middle of about 4 metroid games in 2 years. While MSM is coming out post Other M and Federation Force after having very few games for ten. People were more generous with the former.

You forgot that it was insultingly hand-holdy and was not challening in the slightest. The shitty ZS section also had awful map design. Honestly a real disappointment, although it's still decent at least. I'm surprised when people say these trends won't continue in the Remake, it will most likely be even easier especially with all the melee counter and Aeon bullshit.

I disagree, especially next to Fusion. All Chozo statues after the first are completely skippable and the map design lets you go pretty much wherever you want if you're good enough (except for the fucking retarded slime globe that keeps you from entering Norfair without the power grip)
>was not challening in the slightest
Metroid games are rarely challenging, especially the good (Super, Prime) ones. It's supposed to be possible for anyone to play and complete, while experts play challenge runs. For the record, I love 9% ZM.
>The shitty ZS section also had awful map design.
Couldn't disagree more, I love the level design in that section.

This is the only rendition of it that looks good and it's fan made.
