Eurogamer: You must feel a sense of ownership over Metroid. Do you feel this is a different branch to Metroid Prime, that they are quite separate?

>Yoshio Sakamoto: That's quite difficult to answer. My experience of Metroid is the 2D type, so I would say they are quite different games. That said, whether a Metroid game is 2D or FPS, it's more about the ability for Metroid fans to have a blast and enjoy the game. And the more they do that, the better.

>>388228310
Even Sakamoto doesn't care about the fps trash. Truly /ourguy/

Metroid Dread is going to be sick when it's released in 2019.

AAAYYYYYYY-OOOO

I want that shirt

>>388228761
Let's hope it's on the Switch and not 3DS.

>>388229258
Chances are it will. Rumor is Nintendo plans to release a Switch Mini in 2019 as a replacement to the 3DS as the Switch install base should be in the 24 million or above by then. So I can see Metroid Dread releasing on the Switch.

>>388228761
>Metroid Dread
never ever

>>388230185
2019 my friend, 2019.

>>388230185
If Samus Returns sells well, it will happen. Sakamoto literally said as much.

>Metroid threads can't get more than 10 posts before dying
RIP Dread.

>>388229704
You are the only person spreading that rumor.

>>388233070
Less shitposting the better.
Now lets just hope this sell well enough. 3DS piracy being rampant i doubt it but a man can only hope.

>>388233861
Somehow I feel the group of people who pirate everything are an incredibly small minority. I only pirate stuff if it's the only way I can actually obtain the game which is never the case with new releases.

>>388233931
>Rumor

That's literally one analysist saying they predict one for 2019, with the only explanation being the Switch being too big.

It's honest to God literally nothing.

>>388234093
>>388234227
Things are starting to line up with what they said, Reggie stating that the 3DS will go beyond 2019 and the Switch is too big to be considered a handheld for kids like the 3DS is.

>>388234420
*Reggie stating that the 3DS will go beyond 2018

>>388228558
>he in fact says the exact opposite
>people are now defending and praising the man who made Other M

I really hope you're all just trolling for (you)s.

I guarantee this game will hit the 1 million mark.

I have doubts it will be the best-selling Metroid game ever like some people speculate but we'll see.

>>388228210
I have played it for a half an hour and 3D effect is amazing.

Maybe even better than in ALBW

Do you like the game from what you've played?

Although melee attack is an "option", it's too common to fight enemies. But the controls are great. 360º shooting is easy to use.

I cannot say much more. Well, music is Prime-esquely awesome but that is known from the trailers and gameplays.

I still think Konami mismanagment fuckery from this era do not get enough emphasis and is partly to blame.

People can say what they want about how the in-game graphics look, but the artwork is fucking nice.

>>388239554
Yeah, that's definitely a part of it. Konami even outright told them to abandon the usual Castlevania music style because apparently Michiru Yamane's music was "too feminine".

>>388238946
Isn't he the one the fucked up Lords Of Shadow 2?

Every single famous game / movie developer is given a free pass at least once. Not everyone can be perfect. Sakamoto at least looks like he's changed his ways.

>>388241207
Nope. That was a bald hack,

>>388243359
I like the Metroid Prime 3-esque flourish to the theme.

Yeah, we need less Baroque-style music and more silent ambience with those guys who go "aaaaah" for half the soundtrack. Give me a fucking break.

People can say what they want about Judgement's shit artstyle, but the music was perfection.

It's time to move on from your fan game, anon.

Those both look awful.

Okay, you can sit over in the corner crying while we all enjoy the new Metroid games~

They always look awful, no matter what. i bet your ass in motion it looks good.

>>388239223
This.
Every developer Nintendo slave masters either starts out as shit before Nintendo whips them into shape, or turns to shit after they break off from Nintendo. Rare, Retro, Factor 5, Silicon Knights. Take your pick.

>>388228310
Other M was trash because Sakamoto can't make a 3D game. He was fine during the GBA games.

>>388249176
Or rather a 3D AAA game, I mean. He's best just being in charge of sidescrolling platformers.

>>388249176
>>388249292
Do we know if Other M ever started out as a 2D game or was it going to be 3D from the start? But yeah either way keep Sakamoto with 2D so he can lead Dread when the time comes and make it 60 FPS, on Switch and use sprites.

>>388249176
>>388249292
>>388249615
Did you morons forget about the shit-tastic story and characterizations in Other M? How Sakamoto made Samus how he personally thinks she should be, a whining crying drooling idiot with daddy issues? How it made every single other game in the franchise non-canon to fit his motherhood theme?

>>388249854
That's why I say he can't do a big 3D cinematic AAA game. If he doesn't have cutscenes to direct, he's usually fine.

>>388249854
Who cares. Sakamoto obviously learned from his mistake.

>>388249176
>>388249292
>>388249615
These

>>388249854
Sakamoto can't make 3D games, it's like how FPS Halo doesn't work with side characters as the main characters and only works when Master Chief is the main character.

Not the other anon. Since april there is a spic (with almost 20 years of experience in the industry) that also thinks Nintendo will release a "switch pocket" in the next few years. I know, it isnt a BIG rumor, but to be honest, it makes sense to me.

Sakamoto didn't want Other M to be 3D, he wanted it to be a sidescroller with the Wii remote but Team Ninja kept insisting on making it full 3D. Eventually, D Rockets made a prototype to show how it would work in 3D and Sakamoto eventually agreed.

>>388252495
Team Ninja really wasn't a good choice to make a Metroid game.

>>388252729
Team Ninja isn't a good choice to make ANY game, the only good game they've made is NGB which is admittedly a 10/10 but outside of that their development record is spotty.

>>388252729
disagree. they nailed Metroid gameplay in 3D imo. fast, fluid, power ups work exactly as they do in 2D games, etc.

>>388252897
>nailed Metroid gameplay
My ass, all these QTE takedowns, you can't wall jump unless you are in an area with 2 walls next to each other, you can't use frozen enemies as stepping stones, Space Jump just hovers. It played nothing like a 2D Metroid game.

>>388252865
Agreed

i need this game so badly
