Why does Nintendo hate this franchise?

Cuz it only sells in America.

Because their core audience, the japs, hate it.

It doesn't sell very well, even in the west. It's a shame people organize everything around whether something sells or not. Only way to get a proper sequel is to wait for fans to make it for no compensation.

Its cool in concept but nonlinearity and backtracking is a got damn pain for all but a handful of s󠛡oy guzzling autists.
I was always a fan of the even numbered entries, even the gameboy one.

Because the games are poorly designed and revolve around backtracking

Because it's one of Nintendo's more mature franchises, and Nintendo makes the most money off of kids.
If you noticed, some of Nintendo's other more mature franchises, like Zelda and Fire Emblem, have gotten a lot more "kiddy" since the late 2000s. Kids are easy money.

Because the main fanbase of metroid (trannies) are not likes by Japan/Nintendo

You get treated better than F-Zero and MOTHER fans.

>waifubait franchise is mature

If only we had a system where the factors of production were owned by the people who actually did the labor, and resources were evenly distributed to each according to their need.

That's what I'm talking about. FE didn't used to be "waifubait".
Now, I'll admit I haven't actually touched a Fire Emblem game in my life, but from what I know, it only became waifubait around the early '10s. It used to be a medieval epic which had themes like war and torture and nationalism.
The waifus is what "kiddyfied" the series.

Yeah dude Camilla's big ass fucking rack and every fire emblem game having a barefooted waifu sure makes it a kid friendly series

Sure does. Have you seen Peach and Daisy? Bow-wow. Doesn't stop Mario from being kid-friendly.

Who buys anything from Nintendo that isn't Zelda, Mario and Pokemon?

I’m talking about Metroid. Metroid is just as autistic and waifubait as Fire Emblem. Metroid is probably worse since I don’t remember Caeda being in a bikini for beating the game fast enough in the original Fire Emblem.

Peach and Daisy are stylized in a way to minimize any innate sexyness.

Are you serious? Because the main character is female? Metroid is tied with Zelda for Nintendo's second-most mature series after Eternal Darkness. I mean, shit, the backstory involves Samus being left an orphan after Ridley besieges her home and kills her parents, upon which she swears revenge and becomes a bounty hunter. That's a pretty big step up from "save the princess from turtle you're gonna race with afterwards".

Bump.

>I mean, shit, the backstory involves Samus being left an orphan after Ridley besieges her home and kills her parents, upon which she swears revenge and becomes a bounty hunter.

None of which is even mentioned in ANY game.

Pikmin is unironically a darker series than metroid.

No, because Samus is a shitty waifubait character that attracts mouthbreathers such as yourself.

this is my answer to metroidfags

>pikmin
>darker than metroid
It's about as dark as Animal Crossing.

It's more westernized than the others. Literally just Nintendo's Halo.

if we nuked all video game franchises and companies and started from scratch it would just end up being a few successful companies and IP's milking sequel after sequel again for predictable profits

I wonder why everyone compares Metroid to Halo as if Halo came first, when it was really the other way around?

What is resident evil?
What is Ledgend of Zelda?

I hate trannies so fucking much.

What do you mean? It still gets games and they apparently care enough about it to scrap years of dev work because it wasn’t up to their standards.

Yeah, the guy calling Metroid “dark” and “mature” is a retard.

That being said I think Fire Emblem 4 is the edgiest Nintendo game. First of all, pretty much every playable character from the first part except Finn and Oifaye are killed. They had the balls to kill the protagonist mid game, I don’t remember any game doing something like this. Then you had Arvis stealing the protagonist’s wife and impregnating her, despite her being his sister. Also there was some incest with Lachesis and Eldigan.

How is this not dark? The manga is officially canon, btw.

I think in general popularity with sci-fi around the world is just declining. It doesn't help Metroid that Other M was so badly received or that Federation Force was considered a joke. Or that Samus Returns had lukewarm sales. Prime 4 and Metroid 5 are do or die for the series at this point in my opinion. I don't think Nintendo will touch Metroid again for a long time if they both do anything less than well.

That is by far the most generic shonen backstory conceivable.

Now you're moving the goalposts. First you said it wasn't dark, now you're saying it's generic.
Ok, but it's still dark.

Meant for

Based

Because it was ruined by Retro Studios when they made it 3d.
>NUH UH
Shit controls, irritating gameplay, basically a console FPS and those automatically suck.
>BUT WII VERSION
The Wiimote is a fucking inaccurate, glitchy joke that should have never came out of R&D.
>LOL SONY/MICROSOFTFAG
Their consoles are shit too. Console gaming should just fucking die.

Imagine being this wrong. Must be pretty embarrassing.

Not him but the Halo comparisons would have never happened if not for Prime, which is way too slow paced for its own good.

ACTUAL COOP MOD FOR SUPER METROID WHEN?

Friendly reminder that Zero Suit Samus was the worst thing to happen to the franchise

Metroid isn't one of the highest-earning media franchises of all time

She was the best thing to happen to my dick though.

It is better to die with dignity than to live on as a mutilated test subject

>nintendo
>mature

pick one

Because Prime and Halo CE play the same.

>Hate
>Character has multiple reps in smash
>Has new games released in less than a 5 year period
>Made the main event of game shows
>Developers assigned are (usually) competent.

Come back when you're F-Zero, Custom Robot, or any other franchise thats been dead for decades

Only Prime 4 matters. 2D Metroid hasn't been relevant since Super it's just Sakamoto's vanity project. Metroid 5 will end up just like the GBA games or Samus Returns: middling sales and quickly overshadowed

video games don't exist in that world

no.

They dont hate it. Its just not as flexible as Mario. Not as well loved or steeped in lore as Zelda. Not as appealing as Pokemon. And its very, VERY hard to do it right. The fans, generally have an idea of what Samus is. We all know what happened when Sakamoto tried to bring the character he always thought Samus to be, to life. Then the fed force thing happened and pissed the fans off even more. Metroid games shouldnt be a yearly thing, one every few years is enough.

Nintendo has its token "mature" franchises. Metroid is one of them. There's also Zelda, Fire Emblem, Eternal Darkness, and arguably F-Zero (although it barely counts since it's a racing game first and foremost).

You were too good for this world, sweet Metroid thread
