Metroid The Official Metroid Thread

Nintendo doesn't particularly care about the IP, that's the issue. They arguably haven't since the release of Fusion.

 

lol, and after all these years, this finally came to fruition.

 

Thank you for making me eat my words Nintendo.

 

Finally!!!! I am so excited! Even though Prime is probably years off, I'm still glad to hear about it. It's been 10 years since the last one.

 

That was the second weakest announcement of a big game ever (Console Pokemon is #1), and I don't really care. Because its awesome. But still funny as hell.

 

Yeah it was really not much of anything but just to confirm they are working on Prime 4 had me smiling from ear to ear.

 

Saw a funny quote.

"Still going to see it before the RE 2 remaster."

Do have the urge to pick up the Metroid Prime Trilogy on the e-shop.

 

A title card and that's it. No information. Ha. It will be released at some point I guess.

 

So I bought a Switch on day one. Caught some flack from my friends for being an early adopter..."Bro why you gonna buy a console for one game?" I said, well first off that game is Legend of Zelda so get outta here, and second, I'm waiting for Metroid Prime. "Ahhaha don't hold your breath".

Had some other things come up, and a huge backlog, so unfortunately I had never even opened the Switch, and sold it about a month ago. I was a little apprehensive about it, a little bummed, but told myself "Better to finish this PS3/PS4 backlog, and give the console your full attention. And plus more games will be out by then. I'll rebuy one when they release Metroid!"

When I saw this bare-bones trailer, the music and sound effects alone had my grinning like an idiot. I am very excited for this game.

Not as excited for Samus Returns, but I have the GameBoy virtual console title on my wishlist and will most likely check it out.

It is kind of amazing how I've bought several Nintendo consoles for specific games or a select few titles. They really are that good. I've been on and off the Nintendo train more times than I can count but they always find a way to bring me back in.

 

I really don't understand why they didn't make Return of Samus crossgen between Switch and 3DS. I can't imagine it would have been that difficult. I mean, I am still getting it and I'm still glad the franchise is finally back, but it's like Nintendo just couldn't do it without ****ing up something.

 

ooh. A Switch version would have been nice!!

 

Because making only on the 3DS they can get away with lower resolution.

 

Get the **** outta here hating on WE DO IT!

 

Well, at least he is enthusiastic. Also got a shirt made and everything.

 

Prime 4 is still going to come out before it.

 

Nah, Metroid fans are starved as hell. No one would complain if the Switch version was just a lazily uprezzed version of the 3DS version.

 

Keep that guy away from Metroid.
