now that 2D metroid got PERSONA'd by prime, where do you

>>384514169
>got PERSONA'd

That implies the 2d titles are better than the 3d ones.

>>384514169
I think the Prime series is its own canon.

Fuck off with that prime shit

>>384514841
no this is a video game board, make your own thread

>>384514294
It's not. Even Sakamoto says it's part of the timeline.

Keep telling yourself that, m8.

>>384515621
Why are the sale numbers of Zero Mission and pinball missing?

>>384515621
all that image shows me is that prime 1 is at the top

>2D
>remake on the 3DS like SMT, outsourced to a different company as well

>prime
>sequel on the switch made in house like persona on PS4

>>384515716
They didn't sell over a million. Zero Mission I can at least vouch for it and say that it was due to the end of the GBA's life cycle, poor advertisements, and the heavy amount of DS promoting.

>>384515987
every metroid has shit advertisement except other M and maybe prime 1

also other M was over a million from what I remember

And Prime 2, 3, and Hunters are at the bottom while Federation Force bombed.

>>384516175
No it didn't, it bombed

>>384516310
that doesn't change the fact that prime overtook 2D as the premier series >>384515872

oh and thanks for the image, a literal logo of prime gets around the same amount of views as a full fledged gameplay trailer of 2D. See you at E3 2018

Axiom Verge, AM2R, and Rogue Dawn proved that fans can create better metroid games than nintendo ever could.

Honestly I'm not hyped at all for Samus Returns. I'm a bit interested in Prime 4, but I doubt it will be as good as the first two. Even Prime 3 was weak as hell

>>384516728
No it didn't, each game sold less then their 2D counterparts.

>>384516842
yeah prime 3 was brought down by its intro, thankfully Prime 4 is going to focus on a prime 1-esque design

>>384516898
this still has nothing to do with prime overtaking 2D as the premier series. Zero mission didn't even hit a million

>>384516728
To clarify this >>384516898 statement before you get all autistic on me, I mean each Prime game after the first. Also I'll be watching Halo 6 gameplay at E3 can care less about Prime 4.

>>384516989
Prime is a spin off, this was clarified multiple times in interviews that why it's called a sub-series.

>>384514283
so does that mean that SMT actually has fun gameplay instead of muh atmosphere muh immersion?

>>384517165
fusion is prime 1's counterpart, fusion sold less on a console with more sales

zero mission is prime 2's counterpart, zero mission sold less on a console with more sales

prime 3 doesn't have a counterpart

I'm not sure why you think this

>>384517284
Yeah, it is a spin off. But a spin off that overtook the main series, like persona did to SMT

I hope that Prime 4 is good enough to attract new fans while also being different enough to alienate the old ones.

>>384517374
But it never undertook shit, the only Prime that outsold ALL the 2D games was Prime 1, every Prime after that couldn't outsell any except Zero Mission.

>>384517551
*overtook

>>384517424
what I'm hoping for is a basis akin to prime 1 with one new mechanic that doesn't break the game like hypermode in prime 3

>>384517551
moving the goalpost eh?

>>384517703
What goalpost?

>>384517764
you said the 2D counterparts sold more than the prime games, a false statement your own image that you posted proved you wrong. Now you're bringing metroid 1/2/super into this which have no relevance. I'm starting to get bored, you better entertain me or I'll stop responding

>>384517979
They did, Metroid, Metroid II, Super, and Fusion, outsold Prime 2, 3, Hunters, and Federation Force. Samus Returns has more views than Prime 4, what do you think will happen? Do the math.

>>384518145
irrelevant, now I'm bored. You failed

>>384518237
And I'm supposed to care, why?

>>384518371
I'm glad you don't, you can leave the thread

>>384518449
How about you leave the thread

>>384518585
nah I made it, make an SR thread yourself

>>384514169
Guys stop fighting.

Think we'll get footage before next E3?

There's no way this is coming in 2018, but we could see some progress soon or even an actual trailer

metroid more like dumbtroid lmao

>>384519636
DELETE THIS

>>384518693
You make a bait thread, what the hell did you honestly expect would happen?

>>384521193

They could have been working on this for some time, maybe it originally was a project for Wii U, so I don't think it's impossible to come out in 2018.
Metroid Prime was completed roughly in 2 years after all, I know development cycles for new games are longer, but still.

>now that 2D metroid got PERSONA'd by prime
This is bait
