Metroid Prime 4 - FIRST TRAILER IS HERE

I'm looking forward to it in principal but I still worry that it wont live up to the exceptionally high standard of Prime and Prime 2 and the mediocre but still playable bullshit of 3.

I love how in the dev diary video for Return of Samus Sakamoto didn't even mention Other M and went back to Zero Mission as the last major title he worked on. I think it's safe to say Other M was unpersoned in the canon.

On a related note, ever notice that most of the recent entries in the main Metroid series seem to revolve around SR-388 and stuff from Metroid 2? Metroid Fusion took place on a station orbiting SR-388 that simulated environments from the planet and the creatures there, Other M was 2.5D Metroid Fusion, and now Return of Samus takes you back to SR-388.

Least this will give me motivation to try and pick a Metroid game and finish it. Should I start with the NES Metroid, Super Metroid, or just skip right to Metroid Prime to prep me for this?

Super or Prime. You can get Super on the cheap if you have a new 3ds I think.
 
I'm worried that they're use a western shovelware studio like with Samus Returns.

I mean, they said it'll be a new studio, but that doesn't rule out most of em being from Double Helix or some mobile dev.

There's always the chance that the studio could churn out something good. Double Helix initially started out pushing licensed movie game crap before getting lucky with games like Killer Instinct and Strider. Same goes for Silver Dollar Games where they also pushed out crap until they struck gold with One Finger Death Punch.

With Samus Returns being days away (and YouTube footage looking really good), I've got faith in the people at Nintendo that they can make another good metroid game again.

It's not going to be Retro? :( They've made the best post-90's Metroid games, though. They should be the only ones allowed to make Metroid games.

Yeah, I know, it's disappointing. But Retro came out of basically nowhere for Prime and made one of the best games ever, so perhaps we can have a repeat of that. At the very least, it looks like Nintendo learned their lesson from the shit-storm that was Other M.

Gonna replay Prime now. God damn that game was good.

You are such a cruel ungulate mistress. Oh well, the video was amusing, so all is forgiven.

Other M was the best Metroid game ever and this regression back to FPS gameplay is holding us back from the SUPERIOR FUTURE!

You're also all racist and sexist for hating it.

Damn dude, your Dobson impression is on point!

I was more going for Movie Bob, hence the SUPERIOR FUTURE bit, but I know Dobson is a parrot for his idiotic beliefs too.

It's hilarious how these male feminists love Other M, which is objectively (And I don't use this term lightly) sexist and reprehensible.

Why don't you get the remake that is coming out in like 2 weeks or so?

Good idea, perhaps that would be a perfect way for me to segway into the franchise........... or get horribly killed multiple times trying.
 
If you are a long time gamer you should have much trouble.

Retro Studios may not have the same team that worked on Primes 1-3, but on the other hand the studio has never made a bad game, so I still have confidence Nu-Retro will churn out at least a solid, above-average Metroid title.

I do think they should re-release Prime Trilogy on Switch, 1080p / 60fps, maybe throw in some better texture and lighting, ya know, give it the Wind Waker treatment. Hell, maybe for a pre-order they could give the customer a Switch port of Hunters. It's got Sylux in it and we know Sylux is gonna be in 4. What better way to introduce him to newcomers? Get the multiplayer up and running and you'd have good Quake-style fun action too.

EDIT: Also I have to give respect to Nintendo for being transparent about this. It's disappointing to have to wait even longer for Prime 4, but when you compare this to EA and the Star Wars games it's like night and day. In this day and age the best thing developers can do is be forthright about a title people are anticipating.
