up to metroid prime 4 yes.

Sure, but Metroid deserves its own category. Plus Metroid is not only a shooter.

I'd actually like to see raw action in the next Metroid. Maybe a level where the space government fights space pirates and there would be a big battlefield with stuff blowing up and a massive army of pirates attacking. You'd be in some way an elite fighter for the government... I don't want the game to be only focused on that, but it would be great for one scene in the game. I know that Metroid is more about creeping through abandoned space vessels and staying indoors with aliens everywhere, but Other M did it just fine. Now bring us some action lol.

Also, an in-depth online multiplayer mode would be killer.

in depth multyplayer would need to chance structer to succeed in metroid prime, morphig its campain into multyplayer would probly fail directly, to the point its usefull for player vs AI modes and similar but thats about it. so doubtful unless nitendo comes out with a completely different game.

as for space battles, id expect to see some, upscaled from MP3. as well as modest amount of exploration. as for other M, i personly hated that game, felt like a simple poor attempt to directly make the 2D games 3D. added features like ship control and command, similar to AC3 would be fun, but i can see that with teams or solo. but do to the power they could completly do away with doors and have a more open map, with some enclosed spaces and ships and some open large areas to explore. i just wonder if that would help or ruin the MP feel.

Indeed, multiplayer online would be a gamble. Also, I agree with what you say.

Prime Hunters was amazing online. They should totally add one for the. Wii u metroid, along with a co-op campaign (assuming it is another prime game)

Yea I heard, but never played Hunters. I also heard that the online was unique.

it was. You had all of your standard options like team deathmatch, but you also had some cool ones. I havent played it in years so I can't remember exactly what, but it was really fun.

[RolledUp20s]

Have you all seen this vid? Around 8mins he starts talking about the Wii U...although it hadn't been fully announced back then, this is the game developers saying the Wii U version is superior to the the competition - worth a watch. Can't wait now

Did the game sell enough so that the online mode was always "busy" or crowded?
