In Topic: Metroid ... the possibilities.

Your visor if I remember correctly.

It could have been for different visors or weapons. Its been a long time since I played Metroid Prime.


It was for different weapons. But Metroid Prime 1 and 2 was built around the premise of just one stick for movement and aiming, so the game wasn't really hindered by it.

On the topic at hand, I want a Metroid game that respects its legacy. You see, Metroid: Other M wasn't a bad game. In fact, I'd go even further to say that Other M was a great game. But as a Metroid game or even Nintendo game, it fell flat on its face. It was way too cinematic, the plot was terrible and had many plotholes, and Samus's character and actions deviated from the previous games. Gameplay was fun, though it was also hampered by hand-holding linearity, HUGE rehashes of previous content (mostly, the Vorash was an awesome boss, but no new power-ups is stupid), and the infamous first-person mode.

Looking at all of this, Metroid should take a step back and list these checklists: great atmosphere (something Other M lacked with cinematic cutscenes everywhere), amazing music (ties directly into atmosphere), an non-intruding story (the Prime trilogy had a story discovered through scanning by you), a fine balance of exploration and linearity (like Super Metroid: you can explore the world as you fit, but you need to do certain things before you can move on), and an extensive campaign to clock above 20 hours the first playthrough 100% (like the Prime trilogy).

Don't disappoint, Nintendo.

It would sit next to my PC in my bedroom, as the Wii U and PC will be the best way to go at an entertainment center.

No use putting it in the living room unless you have a HUGE TV in your house or don't have a good monitor for your computer. :D

Good news for me, but I don't really care, as I'll be playing on my PC most of the time.

Then again, I will own just a Wii U AND a PC. I've always said this, but PC is infinitely better than Microsoft and Sony's consoles, with better exclusives (debateable, some don't like the old DOS or Win95 games, Civilization or StarCraft), better graphics (I personally don't care for this too much, but the folks with a 360 or PS3 always want the best graphics, so... yeah), better controls (don't like gamepad or keyboard + mouse? Switch to the other option), and is a better multimedia box than the other consoles (something Microsoft is eager to show to the masses for its 360).

Anyway, I can see myself owning just a Wii U AND a PC. Unless I put off getting a Wii U, I think I'll just get a Wii U around two or three years down the road, the same way I took with my Wii. But once I'll get my Wii U, I'll spend some time rocking Mario Kart 8 in my Wii U online, ready to kick you guys out of Rainbow Road. :laugh:
