Fully embrace body horror and take the dark themes to a whole new level for the franchise.

Samus passes out in her ship and crash lands on a new planet that, unlike most Metroid games, has never had Chozo occupants and therefore doesn't have any traditional power suit upgrades.

Samus begins her adventure to fix her ship and slowly begins mutating into a Metroid thanks to the Metroid DNA received in Fusion rejecting her Chozo DNA.

At first the game will paint this as a positive thing. As her fusion suit slowly starts to resemble that of a Metroid, new abilities are unlocked. Use the ship parts to progress the game naturally and determine when her next mutation (power up) is going to occur.

Over time though, without drawing any attention to it, the player will begin to notice that the Metroid mutation might not be as good for Samus as initially assumed. After the first ~1/3rd of the game, Samus will start to move a bit slower, and might not be able to jump quite as high. It becomes noticable that Samus is ill and soon entire abilities stop being avalible. The game stops being "casually find the ship parts to get home" and turns into desperately trying to get off of the planet and find medical attention asap.

Of course, simply taking away abilities doesn't really make for fun gameplay, so Samus' new abilities keep unlocking to replace the ones she is losing and keep the flow of the game steady. She might not be able to use morph ball bombs any more, but now she can, for example, cover the walls and ground in an explosive gel. Basically mix up the Metroid formula by juggling the powers you have yet to lose, and the new ones you have gained, instead of simply getting more and more powerful as the game goes on.

Really try to drive home the dark setting and themes. Have no dialog aside from Adam talking to Samus in an opening cutscene, and malfunctioning jibberish that you can hear from him every time you walk passed your crashed ship.

End the game with one last interactive cutscene after the final boss and getting the last ship part. Samus is crawling on the ground at a snail's pace, desperately trying to reach her ship. At this point she is a grusome gory mix between human and Metroid.
>Lights suddenly sine down from the sky moments before you reach the ship.
>A Galactic Federation ambulance lands and two soldiers step out
>"Samus Aran, you are under arrest for leaking multiple government files and for grand arson, following the destruction of the BSL Station
>They pull Samus into their ship and fly away, leaving behind Samus' unrepaired gunship

Metroid: R9K

>>389969634
It will be.

>>389968093
I want to see what happens when the tech gap shrinks, and Federation engineers start coming up with effective countermeasures to Samus' abilities.

Fuck with the player's expectations and force them to learn new tricks.

>>389970421
Thank fucking god the original Dread never got passed concept.

>>389972445
What was it?

The series's cancellation

Why do we think dread was cancelled?

>>389975707
It was confirmed to be. But it could also be revived at any moment. Especially since we know Nintendo wants to make more 2d Metroid if SR sells well
