E3 2013: Nintendo, Retro Discuss Future of Metroid

Retro Games not working on Metroid at this time.

Basically Retro are making Metroid Universe with Online MP like Hunters.

Sounds good. I've heard that Hunters was a great game (especially considering it was a 3D first person game on the DS).

I should get Hunters..

fossilfern3985d ago

Sounds good? That is an awful idea, hunters is the worst Metroid game in the series IMO. Metroid is a solo experience were you explore this lonely and desolate place. If I had a teammate or something with me at all times it would just ruin everything.

I feared this would happen after OtherM, the game sold terribly so they would of either tried to make the next Metroid appeal to everyone or just give us another 8 year gap between games. And to be honest if I had a choice between waiting 8 years or a watered down experience id rather wait.

I'm not saying it should play like it, or look like it.

Just because it has online multiplayer doesn't mean it needs to impede on the core single player aspect.

And when I said I'd heard good things about it, me and my friend were literally talking about it that day, and he said it was great (he seems to have relatively the same taste in games as me, too).

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
