Supply and demand... no one asked for this.. give people what they want (Metroid Prime), they'll buy it. No idea why that's so hard to get. Glad this flopped, Nintendo will Lear--- oh wait, they never learn do they. >_>

ScreenGurus2789d ago

I just hope Nintendo hasn't hinged the success of the franchise on this outing.

Activemessiah2789d ago

That would be delusional beyond redemption.

GrimmyReaper2789d ago

I dunno.

Remember when Star Fox 64 3D launched?
Nintendo made a statement that if that game didn't sell well, they wouldn't bother with a sequel.

We did get one and ... yeah.

The future of Metroid ain't looking too bright

Metroid is my favorite nintendo game. Prime on GC was one of the best games ever. Could you imagine a world where Nintendo games actually mature it at the same rate as the gamers. Metroid should have been on the scale of Mass Effect.

wheresmymonkey2789d ago

well it plays just like prime does, control wise at least. Though, it's not a metroid in the traditonal sense, it's still a fun game nethertheless.

I don't think the lack of sales is a sleight against the game itself. I saw a heap of positive reviews. Me thinks a mixture of bad marketing and fan dissension is at play.

Lets try with Samus again,Nintendo.

ScreenGurus2789d ago

It baffles me they threw this out after the 30th anniversary and didn't see this negative reaction coming.

Hoffmann2789d ago

But does anyone believe that Nintendo understands why the game flopped?

superchiller2789d ago

Nintendo doesn't understand much about gaming at all anymore. They're lost in their own little world, with only gimmicks, cheap hardware, and mediocre games to show for it.

King_Lothric2789d ago

That's the sad thing. They are going to believe that there is no interest on the Metroid franchise which is totally wrong.

Lighter92789d ago

I think Zelda BotW is a step in the right direction for Nintendo. I hope the rest of their franchises can follow suit.

Blu3_Berry2789d ago

good, nobody asked for that thing anyways. It was an insult to metroid fans

It's the Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z of Nintendo. Who had this idea in the first place?

How Long To Beat Every Metroid Game

The "Metroid" series has been challenging players with exploring alien caverns and stealing their weapons since the first game blasted onto the NES in 1986. Since then, lead protagonist Samus Aran has managed to survive over a dozen encounters with the life-draining Metroids and the Space Pirates who seek to control them. The job hasn't always been easy — in fact, Samus has done some pretty terrible things over the years in the line of duty — but gamers have always been more than happy to help her save the galaxy.
