Why did shítendo abandon their only non-shit IP?
Bentley Collins
Jace Nelson
why are westerners so obsessed with metroid don't they have enough guns to obsesses over in real life
Jonathan Peterson
More like they aren't as shit publishers as other companies and they saw their product was turning out to be shit, so they started all over again so the game was good.
James Thompson
>Americans can't get enough Dakka
A-are we Orks?
Cooper James
because Nintendo themselves ruined it
Connor Cooper
Here's your IP bro

Aaron Howard
But most people liked Metroid Prime Pinball. At most, people were indifferent to it.
Matthew Butler
>Metroid Prime
>non-shit
>Samus, supposedly an agile bounty hunter, moves like a senior citizen who just got released from the hip replacement ward. She is slower than a generic FPS protagonist. This is especially egregious since the game has a ton of backtracking
>can't even strafe freely, can't even look up and down while moving, What is up with these weird limitations?
>you don't even have to aim because of lock-on (thus completely negating the advantage of going with a first-person perspective, so why did they even choose it?)
>bosses are boring HP sponges that barely even move and are basically stationary and boil down to 'scan for weak spot and wait for boss to open their sphincter to reveal their weak spot'
>they prioritized graphics over gameplay, so the exploration is constantly broken up with corridors that are disguised loading screens, which also makes the level design feel very artificial
>instead of building to a proper climax, last stretch of game is literally one giant fetch quest
>instead of letting you explore and examine things yourself (which the first-person perspective is ideally suited for), you have a scanner that spoonfeeds you everything you need
>third-person transitions like the morph ball transformation are too long and interrupt the flow of gameplay
>does a bad job of immersing the players with constantimmersion-breaking third person cutscenes of Samus riding an elevator or doing some other pointless shit (again, why even use first-person then?)
Metroid Prime is a prime example (no pun intended) of how NOT to translate a 2d game into 3d.
Daniel Mitchell
But Metroid Prime pinball and hunters were fucking awesome.
Adam Torres
Because we expect Hunter quality Spinoffs. That's not even counting Prime itself
Gavin Moore
I think it was more the fact that people wanted a new metroid game since Other M and we got that instead.
Landon Thomas
Frogposting is a prime example to know when someone is shitposting
Ian Perez
They didn't
Jaxon Cooper
can I get a tl;dr you fucken NERD
Angel Perry
Stay seething Sakamoto.
Ryan Ward
I agree, Metroid is a shit series. When are we getting a new DK game?
Adam King
Where did this meme that Hunters was good come from?
Jason Garcia
Metroid Prime was almost perfect you seething autist
Jose Rivera
It's commercial
youtube.com
Benjamin Kelly
>meme that Hunters was good come from?
Fucking zoomer bitch.
Jayden Sanchez
They hated him because he told the truth.
Charles Jenkins
Man Metroidfags sure are an annoying bunch...
Isaiah Cooper
Wrong timing. Ignoring the fact that it looked like shit from day 1, they shouldn't have raised hopes with the title Metroid Prime for the 1 second before Federation Force appeared on the title when the last Prime game came out in 2007.
Carson Bennett
There's a proper time for spinoffs.
When a series looks to be strruggling to recover from what's unarguably the worst game in the series, You DO NOT make a spinoff after years of fans being worried of the state of their franchise
Carter Cruz

Fresh off the boat from Reddit, huh?
Kayden Baker
Why the fuck is this fanbase so loud when the games sell like shit?
Brody Moore
hi reddicuck
Samuel Wilson
>Reddit
You are the one obsessed by this site alright. My post had literally nothing to do with this site but hey whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.
Luke Ramirez
>metroidfags calling anyone reddit
Metroid is the most reddit vidya series next to Dark Souls and Zelda.
Brandon Sanders
That's the kind of retort you fags use huh?
Gavin Wright
>the one time we get canon giantess Samus in the series
>she’s in her fucking Morph Ball form the entire fight
I’d have bought two copies if it meant a giant ZSS fight.
Jacob Cruz

Nathaniel Green
I lived to see the most based frogposter ever
Jacob Lopez
>metroid prime needs to be a 3rd person cinematic movie game
Kys
Isaiah Flores
Please stop replying to your baitpost
Luis Adams
Pic unrelated.
Blake Smith
>>metroid prime needs to be a 3rd person cinematic movie game
It practically already is one, with the slow ass movement speed, constant pointless and tedious transitions to 3rd person and automated lock-on aiming because the developers think that Metroid players are apparently to stupid to move and shoot at the same time.
It's quite obvious the developers were deeply uncomfortable with making a first-person game. It would probably have been a better game had it been 3rd person yes.
Hudson Morgan
they tried a 3rd person cinematic movie game for Metroid
and we ended up with Other M, the worst Metroid
Jose Edwards
Two wrongs don't make a right. Metroid Other M being complete shit doesn't suddenly make Metroid Prime good, nor does it prove a third-person Metroid game couldn't possibly be good.
Josiah Wilson
Wojackposting is a prime example to know when someone is shitposting
William Clark
>shit doesn't suddenly make Metroid Prime good
Metroid Prime was already good, even before Other M shat all over the entire series
Aiden Anderson
>Metroid gets a spinoff
>released directly after what is generally agreed to be the worst game in the series
>after years and years of radio silence about the series
fixed that for you, retard
Carter Parker
it actually was a pretty fun game
Noah Brown
>no dialogue
>no cinematic scenes aside from camera pans
>entirely 1st person except morphball mazes
>"literally a 3rd person movie game!"
Nice self portrait you drooling retard
Jack Garcia
reality
Xavier Lee
>no game for half a decade
>Last game was Other M
>Make spinoff team fps for a handheld with no 2nd anolog stick
Why wouldn't we be mad?
Adam Young
Because you got AM2R at the same time, and the very next year you got Samus Returns.
Jonathan Foster
A fangame and a remake hardly make up for no mainline game for half a decade
Kevin Clark
because video games are a business and most people have shit taste and wont buy metroid games
Evan Morales
Good thing Prime 4 is being developed
Oliver Ortiz
There's a Metroid 5 coming
Owen Stewart
>publicly scrap a bad game and admit they're starting over so it isn't shit
>abandoned
What?
Aiden Brown
I think he means pre-prime 4 and SR.
Brandon Butler
>see you in 2020
I just hope it's good so Metroid doesn't die. Im surprised fed force didnt already kill it because we had no idea Samus returns, or MP4 were a thing.
Source?
William Davis
Oh, that wasn't abandonment. That was making a shit game, then releasing an unwanted game at the very worst time possible, then taking a break while they figure out what the fuck to do next.
Dylan Edwards
There isn't a source, just hints here and there within interviews that Metroid 5 is probably going to be the game Sakamoto does next. There's been no official confirmation that development has started.
Ryder Kelly
>released a remake to Metroid 2
>working on Metroid Prime 4
>working on Metroid 5
>abandoned
What’s with Yea Forums always shitposting Metroid and Halo threads?
Josiah Hill
But you don't get it, they wanted a new game now!!!! Entitled gamer culture at its worst
Kevin James
why are metroidfags such entitled brats who don't know the meaning of an abandoned series?
i've been waiting for mega man legends 3 for 19 years, klonoa 3 for 18 years, and viewtiful joe 3 for 15 years. metroidfags just got a new game in 2017 and have another new one coming up in the future and you're still crying.
Adrian Gray
Wonder if its somehow connected to Dread.
Remember that?
Christopher Rivera
>Legendsfag thinks he has the right to call anyone else entitled
Joseph Powell
I hope its Dread, I really want the gameplay of Super with the Atmosphere of Fusion.
James Fisher
They're some of the easiest targets on Yea Forums.
Reminder that falseflaggers are a thing.
Ethan Murphy
crapcom dangled legends 3 in front of our faces after what had already been a decade of waiting, canceled it for no reason and then blamed the fans.
let me know when something like that happens to metroid, and no, prime 4 isn't it. neither is federation force.
Landon Ross
Megaman still has a fuckton of other games though. MM11 just released.
Leo Wilson
you know full well that mm11 is no substitute for legends 3. it's not even the same type of game. imagine if nintendo had straight-up cancelled prime 4 instead of delaying it, and people told you to go play other m or federation force instead.
Hunter Sanders
I'm sure thats how 2D fans felt between Zero Mission and Samus Returns and both of those are remakes. Its been 17 years since Fusion released.
Ayden Morris
>samus returns came out only a couple years ago
>confirmedly a new 2d metroid is coming at some point
>metroid prime 4 is being worked on
>nintendo gives enough of a shit to restart development because they thought the game wasn't good enough
Nathaniel Cruz
Because starting a thread with a shitpost is the only way to get a thread going on Yea Forums anymore.
Luke Ross
>The only non shit Nintendo IP
That's where you're wrong, kiddo.
Cooper Kelly
Don’t let the Pretendos try to meme you into thinking it was because of the lack of new releases.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions got just as much shit despite FE doing extremely well. Fates even came out that same year!
Cameron Mitchell
That's just because FE's fanbase is one of Nintendo's worst, not really a surprise.
Parker Hernandez
What's nintendo's best? F-Zero?
Ryan Sanchez
>Still giving a shit about this mangled corpse of a series being run through an IV bag just barely
Hollow Knight already dethroned it as king of metroidvanias. Get with the times you grandpa boomers.
Jose Gutierrez
Brayden Walker
Some of these things I can understand and agree with, but you have to realize if the graphics weren’t as good as they are even back when the game was made it would’ve been considered completely shit.
Aiden Taylor
>Hollow Knight
>Dethroning Super
lel
Noah Wilson
F-Zero, Pikmin, and Kid Icarus come to mind as close contenders.
They're all starving for games but they're not exactly screaming about it.
Luis Gray
It stars a woman that isn't a Loli and has themes of individualism. Tough for Japs to relate.
Evan Foster
Hey, I like Hollow Knight, but what you're saying is that because it exists I'm not allowed to like Metroid or any other Metroid-like anymore?
That's pretty fucking dumb, user.
Xavier Roberts
That’s why I’m happy Nintendo is finally making Metroid 5.
Gavin Sanders
God I hope so too.
Wyatt Hall
>people get excited for a new game
>that means the fanbase is reddit
I guess that means every single video game fanbase ever is reddit. You like a video game? You're reddit. Better shut down Yea Forums, because the whole fucking board is reddit.
Jack Hill
>indie shit
Hunter White
>Better shut down Yea Forums, because the whole fucking board is reddit.
Yes?
Liam Mitchell
why haven't all frog posters unironically killed themselves yet
Logan Morales
>decent game that gets overhyped as fuck because "LMAO GIT GUD XDXDXD" memes and the devs pandering to that crowd
fuck off
David Martinez
And that means you're reddit too.
Elijah Hill
Probably Kirby. I've never seen anyone shit on Kirby the way they shit on everything else. Mario fans are chill too, but Paper Mario fans are the WORST. (See: Arlo)
Jonathan Murphy
The future is now boomer
Asher Barnes
The real reddit was the video games we played along the way.
Hudson Moore
I've seen plenty of people shit on Kirby.
And Kirby threads on Yea Forums right now? Absolutely disgusting.
Noah Cox
I miss the days when Kirbyfriends and Metroidfriends were shitposting as one in those Smash Roster-days
Jace Fisher
Honestly Paper Mario fags are slowly starting to turn on M&L because it's still pretty alright for the most part, it's pretty sad to see such a cool fanbase degrade over the years, but what are you gonna do?
Carter Nguyen
>simply delay the game
>"they abandoned it"
fucking sigh
Kevin Roberts
It's so strange how Paper Mario fans will bitch about wanting turn based battles, but then get upset when people point out that M&L is exactly what they say they want.
Hudson Morris
your soulless indieshit ripoffs will never measure up to the classics, and you're just gonna have to cope with that.
Isaiah Mitchell
not popular in the east and japan surprisingly only care about the east, they will never care about amerifat.
Mason Collins
>boomer seething over the golden age of Metroidvanias
absolutely depressing. I hope you find enjoyment in the future, boomer.
Nolan Lee
Holy shit what happened to her gun
Ian Sanchez
>every indie dev in the world is shitting out identical generic metroidvanias with "le epic dark souls combat" - literally quantity over quality
>somehow this is a "golden age"
yikes, i almost pity indie shills that actually get hyped for any old trash they see on steam's front page.
Nathaniel Allen
Because none of you fucks even purchased it. And no, I don't mean the Japanese who don't really care for Metroid. I mean the Western audience that always talks about the series and how much they enjoy it and how it needs more games and all this shit. The Western audience barely purchases Metroid games.
I guarantee you that there are a large number of people in these Metroid threads, who champion the games and talk about how they're amazing, who have never fucking purchased a single one.
So much for these Western fans...
Ryan Long
basically got fucked fighting her own clone
metroid-database.com
Nicholas Jackson
Don't you have a Mega Man thread to be shitposting in?
Owen Smith
>for any old trash they see
>old trash
true pottery
Adrian Anderson
Well if ya wanna look at it in a vacuum like that sure
William Russell
Paper Mario fans and Mario & Luigi fans are the same people. Stop behaving like everybody is only allowed to play one series of games. You sound like a lunatic.
Lincoln Bailey
They certainly aren't anymore, but if you're talking about the gap between Other M and Samus Returns, it's because Japs have totalitarian control over their properties, and the writer and director of Other M got really butthurt from the fan reaction and kinda just avoided it for several years. As far as we can tell that's it.
Jaxson Thomas
Sweet, thanks for posting a frog, I almost had to actually consider your retard opinion for a second there.
Sebastian Walker
