I'm still a little skeptical on this game.

Valay5836d ago

Really? The previews have all been pretty much positive. And they've pushed the game back a bit to improve the game's quality.

mjolliffe5836d ago

I was at first, like every game really, but what I've seen is pretty brilliant :)

johnthe5th5836d ago

All the first impressions have been positively glowing. I can't think of anything in this game that would make me skeptical.

Millah5836d ago

Don't be. A lot of people seem to be skeptical because they think Team Ninja is in charge, but thats not the case. Sakamoto and a lot of the original 2D Metroid designers are in charge of the game. Team Ninjas involvement is really only on the 3D engine and programming, Sakamoto wanted to use an engine similar to the "flashy Ninja Gaiden engine."

EvilTwin5836d ago

Well said, Millah.

Those still left from the original R&D1 (Sakamoto's crew that made Super) are in charge; it's their overall vision. Team Ninja is there to help them make a 3D game (as Sakamoto's team has never done one before).

D-Rockets are doing the cinematics; all three of them together are Project M.

But it's Sakamoto-san's baby. And it's the game I've been waiting for since 1994.

Millah5835d ago

"And it's the game I've been waiting for since 1994."

Absolutely. I was worried we'd never see the day lol.

You know it is pretty hard to believe that Sakamoto and team really never have had to make a 3D engine. Kinda crazy to think we're on the 3rd gen of 3D consoles, and Nintendo still hasn't used them for a bigger project, only handheld titles and like one console Wario Ware game.

Mahr5836d ago

As much as I'm looking forward to this game, I too have some small reservations about it, like when Sakamoto gave that interview where he talked about wanting Samus to come off as 'beautiful' or whatever and how the most important part of the game for him would be to delve into her character and psyche.

I really don't need cutscenes explaining to me how blowing up Space Pirates makes Samus feel.

and this game looks incredible so far, how the hell could you not be all over a game that Team Ninja's involved in AND some Samus Aran??

I hope there is a good mix of first, and third-person though. I don't want to be third the whole game, or better yet, allow the player to choose!

EvilTwin5836d ago

From the previews, the controls are hold the remote sideways, then point at the screen at any time to go into FP view. So you're allowed to choose; it's just a matter of which view will work best for certain circumstances (you can only fire missiles in FP).

But this is Sakamoto's team, and all they've ever done is third person 'Troid. We've got an excellent collection of FP Metroid with the Prime Trilogy, so I'm down for some third-person action.

This is an amazing mongrel of a game; the first of its kind. A 3D game with some 2D-ish viewpoints and a full FPS-type view, too.

For how long Nintendo will stretch this series?

Kingdom Come5836d ago

Claims the guy with the Metal Gear Avatar...

ChickeyCantor5836d ago

Liquid!
MOTHEEEEEEEEEER!!
*woosh*

meganick5836d ago (Edited 5836d ago )

They'll stretch this series as long as they keep making great games I suppose. The Prime games were fantastic, and so were the two Game Boy Advance Metroids. And of course, Super Metroid is a classic. They can keep making these games forever, as long as they're good.

Kingdom Come5836d ago

Loving the mixture between the 2 Interpretations of the franchise, FPS Segments and Side-Scroller Segments. Two era's colliding to form a Spectacular Game for the series' fans.

BYE5836d ago

Exactly, I wonder why there aren't more games that have done this switching perspectives thing. Too much work I guess.

t-dizzle5836d ago

This is Team Ninja after all...

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds1223d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted1223d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman691223d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees31223d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese1223d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits1222d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff21831223d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee1468d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

H91468d ago

I mean it was a killer

Terry_B1468d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM1687d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
