Here's my humble opinion: I don't know if they can make it.

You could take Metroid away from Western devs and make a 2D Metroid everyone has been praying for for years. This might even work if they allocate their GOOD staff to it. I'd gladly take something made by Fusion/Zero Mission team too.

But I'm almost sure they'd still fuck it up. Nintendo are their own worst enemy. They still preach their dogma of family-friendly casual fun, and they have stifled the creativity in their own franchises long ago. If they made a 2D Metroid in Iwata times, they'd make Metroid Returns or New Super Metroid U and call it a day.

But it's only half the problem. I hate that word, but without its atmosphere Metroid is just half a game it used to be. For me, either it returns to its Alien roots, where it's you against the labyrinth, or fuck this game.

I know only one thing for sure. They pushed themselves into the corner with FPS Metroid. FPS means they will depend on the West to make it, and they haven't had good enough hardware to compete with other Western FPS games since Wii. If they wanted an FPS game, they shouldn't have sacrificed Metroid for it.

>> No.3735746

At this point in time, is safe to say that the metroid franchise is dead as we know it.

Your best chance is for a reboot of the franchise, given that the remaining fanbase is small, and the brand name doesn't have the strength and public presence it once had. So the reboot might be the only way forward.

Even the, that likely won't happen, as nintendo is very risk averse now.

I'll just be the Mario _________ games, and zelda as a AAA title.

Mario must die, if any other nintendo franchises were to live.

There's no reason to continue milking Metroid. It had reached its logical conclusion with Super, and for when you get bored of it, there are several mods of it available to play. Same with how F-Zero reached its peak with X, and Star Fox with 64, and Donkey Kong with DKC.

its not a bait anon, hes telling the truth.

i saw the most shiite nintendists and metroidfags all over the place praising NuDoom for being the 1st and real metroid prime game in years, even if is a doom game, its a game that took a lot from Prime for inspiration

WHICH IS ironical since Romero, Tom hall, Carmack said once that one of the inspirations for dooms atmosphere and the doomguy's earlier concepts were taken from Metroid series

and the praetor suit on NuDoom look a LOT with the Varia Suit mixed with the Classic Doomguy armor


as for the 2D game, id be glad if they took AM2R and SM as inspirations for a new game, but seeing how assholes in kyoto cares only about Mario and zelda...

its pretty much safe to say that metroid franchise is dead until they find someone who can do it right, and seeing how Fed Shitforce took a lot of flak from everyone, even the japanese fanbois, it will take a LOOONG time

I know most people prefer GX, but I think X has greater controls (e.g. the ramming is mapped to two buttons as opposed to one), more interesting content (like the X track), and sweeter artwork and music.

>>3736075

I'll be honest here and take a step back, and admit that my gameplay experience with the new Doom was limited. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions.

With that said, the moments I've played were filled with over the top, gratuitous violence. Sure it's lots of fun when you're 12, but if you're old and jaded like me, at some point you begin to question the point of it, and when you can't find any, it gets old very fast. I'm not even trying to be a moralfag or sage guy here.

If they wanted to be Metroid like, I'd say they failed. Nowhere near the level of immersion, with that atmosphere, with that majestic synthwave music, and the narrative on a "self-service" basis. The balance between the calm investigative moments and action is unmatched in my opinion.

Doom satanism references don't add at all, just makes me cringe hard, and shit constantly screaming, exploding and splashing in your face, as I said gets old fast.

And about finding the right people, just get retro to do it. Worked then, can work now.

I'm not throwing random words, i'm trying to get a point across. I disagree with what you said about brand recognition being important, It might be, but to a smaller extent than people think.

For example, everybody that owns a phone surely knows about the blackberry brand. Does that mean they're selling like hot cakes? Surely not.

Maybe the better word is "momentum", or hype or whatever.

I simply thought of Super Metroid. Then I asked myself: "Can Nintendo really make a game like this today, with the same atmosphere and gameplay?". And I think the answer is "no".

I didn't try to blame it all on some bogeyman casuals/soccer moms. I just see that a new game like Super Metroid would clash with almost everything they've made since around 2005.

I try to imagine Nintendo making another dark, claustrophobic, enigmatic game, with huge, seamless world, exploration and puzzles like Super Metroid. But I can't. I feel Nintendo is just too different now for this.

To get that old Metroid, you'd need a different Nintendo. Today, they are too focused on keeping things the same, and they would never risk to make a scarier, gloomier, more mature game like Super Metroid. That's just my opinion.

>> No.3736351

Make spinoffs starring different girls in different powersuits with different skillsets.
The girls are all cute with anime-like designs and you can remove the powersuits whenever you feel like staring at a cute bikini-clad anime girl all alone in a dark and gloomy planet.

It could be 2d, it could be 3rd person, I don't know. When I played Metroid Prime I realized Metroid doesn't really NEED to be 2D, it just needs to put you in a big mysterious world and leave you the fuck alone to find a way on your own without any plot getting in the way. MP1 felt a lot more like a true Metroid experience than Fusion did, that's for sure.

Zero mission and Fusion are 2d games that are a continuation of the kind of gameplay in Super Metroid.

I think mindlessly asking for more Metroid is dumb. I really like Miyamoto's mentality of "what do you want us to do with a new game that we haven't already done", something he said when asked about a new F-Zero. Are you really asking for rehashes? Let good franchises stay good. And if it must, let it die good.

Other M was the first Metroid game to introduce heavy story/character development (before we just had the manga).

"Fans" got butthurt because the version of Samus portrayed didn't meet with their expectations of some hard, ice-queen bitch who didn't care about anything but herself.

This was exemplified by the way the voice actor (which sounded very "anime-like") exclaimed "the baby" during a scene.

This is simply an argument for mediocrity and acomodation. It's "good enough" lets leave it at that. Let's not spoil things up. Fuck that.

If at least the story was finished, I guess this argument could have some weight to it. It's not, so we should keep pushing for more, better games that expand upon the franchise with untaped potential.

I just can't seem to understand why metroid fans get so much shit for being "entitled", when there's franchises out there with 3-4 times the size in installments, and people still demand more with no reprehension.

This question should have been made easier. We should have posited an alternate course when Sega seized the N64s GPU for themselves, or possibly teamed up with sony and ended up making the SaturnStation distinctly bloated, leaving the SNES successor as a much more 2d-capable system.

>> No.3740384

Just make another 2D Metroid. It's as simple as that. Give it a good amount of development time and budget and give it some good presentation and tight controls. It shouldn't have any story at all other than some really small excerpt of it in the manual and two or three lines of text for the opening and ending. That's all.

>What made metroid generaly great?
Isolation and hostility provided the atmosphere and exploration was main focus of gameplay.

>Do we need complicated storylines?
No. That's what killed Other 'M' and almost was a nuisance in Fusion. Just gives us a vague premise, with hints of lore here and there. Don't impose the story to the players, let them search for it. Make the main story some thing really simple - Kill all metroids. Kill mother brain. Recover the last metroid, and so on...

>Why do we loved Samus?
Because she's a hardass. She's basically boba fett. You don't hear him talking much, and neither should Samus. She doesn't need to be a full on bitch mode - she can be tender, but rarely. Those Feelings have to be buried deep down.

>But where in the timeline should a new game fit?
Maybe a reboot? Or, she could be a fugitive from the GF In a new 2d game, that happened just after Fusion. She could get cancer or some other disease as side effect of the metroid vacionation. It would be a perfect justification for why she, once more, lost every upgrade. Maybe she has to keep runing from the GF, while trying to find a cure or some shit in ancient Chozo Ruins.

Fuck that, there's no reason not to have it 3D these days. There's been enough 3D sidescrolling games that it makes sense, plus it could scale to any size from 640x480 to 8K and beyond and look slick as fuck doing it.

Here's a shitty example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie5FO_BetOE

But if you're not a complete retard you can grasp and expand on that concept. The lighting in the room in the pick up, dynamic lighting etc... all would be nice. Physics effects could be added, proper distortions. The smaller scale of gameplay window would allow for decent performance as well even with AA kicked to 11 on most things especially these days.

Nintendo would never make a modern Metroid with Samus at odds with the GF. Not after making Federation Farce.

If they were to make a continuation to Fusion, it'd play out something like this:

>Mysterious Man seen in conversations w/ Adam AI is the head of the Metroid breeding program
>It was a secret program and the GF didn't know what was being done.
>Mysterious Man started the program because he was convinced the GF had to breed Metroids to match the power of the Space Pirates.

...But this is all a moot point because if Other M stays canon, no Metroid game after 1 can happen.

Why?

>> No.3744158

Other M was fun in terms of gameplay but the story sucked. I'd be happy with another game with a similar style without them trying to make Samus human but ultimately turning her into a weird codependant mary sue character. I'm not saying she has to be a tomboyish Turbo Ellen Ripley type character but they need to find a middle ground.

>> No.3744210

>>3744148

Other M states that Mother Brain directs Space Pirates so that they can actually accomplish shit. Kill the Brain, and the Pirates go back to being dumb animals.

So anything chronologically after Metroid 1 can't happen. No Super, no Prime, no Hunters, and no Fusion. Possibly no FedFarce either, but it wouldn't exactly be a problem if that game got shot into the sun.

Sakamoto is such a thin-skinned fuckboi that he couldn't stand the fact that Retro made some good Metroids, so when he got his hands of the IP again, he ended up making a game that not only retcons PIGGU AMERIKAN GEIMU, it retcons the game that is a prequel to Other M.

Man, so much this. I recently fired up Zero Mission for shits and giggles. Within 5 minutes, I have Chozo statues showing me where to go next on the map 3 fucking times.
