10 Steps Metroid Can Take in the Right Direction

"I recently re-played Metroid: Other M for Wii. The game is…divisive to say the least. I personally don’t hate it nearly as much as some do. The game has its flaws to be sure, but the core of the game is not completely without merit. " Explosion.com

Well, the first step is to release one, lol. Honestly though, just about any new Metroid game would excite me. Classic 2D Metroid was amazing, Metroid Other M had some great gameplay that with some added tweaks could be phenomenal, and Prime is, well...Prime. Metroid just has a fantastic legacy behind it.

Of course now that I said that they're going to announce the next big Metroid game for Wii U...Metroid Prime Pinball 2.

thehobbyist4042d ago

Yes, please. No one wants another 8 year Metroid drought.

ZeroAtmin4043d ago

I just want another Metroid period

fatneal4043d ago

it needs to be in the style of prime...highly stylized with new gameplay mechanics and weapons and maybe even mirrors edge-esque platforming...and of course a great story....

i remember a while back their was a rumor of a starfox metroid crossover game...cmon that would print money...star fox air battles and metroid fp ground exploration = gold

Nicaragua4043d ago

Personally I think a starfox/metroid crossover would be horrible, the two universes are just too different.

Samus already has a gunship so there is no need to have fox for air battles.

fatneal4042d ago

it would be interesting though

metroid can learn a lot from demons souls/ dark souls/ batman arkham games.

TheOtherVitaOwner4042d ago

I'm surprised by the disagrees on this comment. I feel those games have done a great job expanding on the metroidvania formula.

thehobbyist4042d ago

It's not that they're bad examples or anything. Those games are just VASTLY different.

OhReginald4039d ago (Edited 4039d ago )

@thehobbyist

No they are not vastly different. They are actually the same. They use the metroidvania formula, but expand on it in their own unquie way. Sure ones a super hero game and the other action rpg, but both are still metroidvania style games...

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

LoveSpuds892d 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.

deleted892d ago

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

Starman69892d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3892d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese892d ago

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

Vits891d 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".

shinoff2183892d ago

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

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee1137d ago

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

H91137d ago

I mean it was a killer

Terry_B1137d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM1356d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
