Wii Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Does anybody know what Reggie and Iwata do every day? I can imagine some funny skits with Will Ferrell playing Reggie and Gilbert Gottfried playing Iwata. I'd pay anything to see them on the big screen.

VsPhoenix Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 You know what else Rare made? A certain game called Conker's Bad Fur Day. Undoubtedly the best looking N64 game and definitely the funniest game I've ever played. And then there was the multiplayer....... Not sure if its been mentioned on here before, but the man behind Conker's Bad Fur Day now works at Gory Detail, and is actually working on a Wii U/3DS eshop game at the moment called The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup.

Yeah I saw some stuff they showed for it a few months ago...so excited! I've heard it's going to be a very mature title in the same vein as Conker's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm shit at internet and I figure you guys are probably a better bet than Google anyway: Anybody know if there's been anything said about a Metroid game on the Wii U/ 3DS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much nothing I'm afraid With Wii U they've only focused on games that sold loads to the expanded Wii market (Donkey Kong, NSMB etc) so I'm not sure if it's something that they are interested in atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That really sucks man, just played Echoes again, and I'd fucking kill for another 3D Metroid game. It's weird, I've talked about how good the last seven years or so have been for getting rid of obtuse design in games, but I really think that's going to hurt the Metroid series. They rely so much on opaqueness, and you could see modern design eating away at the edges of MP3 with the voice overs and the unnecessary secondary characters. Maybe it's for the best that they aren't making a new 3D Metroid. Maybe they'll get another ten years down the line and just remake Super Metroid again like they did for Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Metroid is coming, no doubt about it. It's one of NINTENDO's big 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Metroid is coming, no doubt about it. It's one of NINTENDO's big 3. Yep it's right there in the big 3, alongside Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, DK and Pokemon... wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Metroid will always be in the Big 3 for those who know their onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Nah Metroid's not been big three for a while, I think the big three for Nintendo are decided entirely on fiscal terms. Lezz see; Mario, Mario, and shit, Mario with a side of fucking Mario. I'm pretty sick of Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 IMO, Metroid is the single best thing Nintendo's got. Not that Zelda or Mario aren't incredible, but even at their absolute best (like Galaxy/SMB3 or aLttP/OoT) neither comes close to Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. However, I doubt they're even in the top 5 IPs, from Nintendo's POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Anytime anyone uses the acronym POV, I get a visual of somebody getting fucked from behind, which is a rad metaphor in this case since the thing getting shafted is my good will towards anything Nintendo.

Ashley Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Maybe we should meet Nintendo in the middle and ask for Miitroid instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We technically already got that within Nintendoland as the mini-game was basically Metroid with Mii's. I do like the term 'Miitroid' though, either way a new Metroid game is definitely needed, personally I'd like the idea of Retro making a new 3D Metroid but in the meantime I don't see why we couldn't have a 2D Metroid either on the Wii U eShop or on the 3DS... perhaps even both with some way to link them both up for extra suits etc. Yeah... I'd settle for *anything decent with the Metroid name attached to it right now... :p ...and no that does not include a *Metroid Other M sequel as good as it was at least some of the time, that's an experiment that really shouldn't be repeated.

Fused King Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Metroid, Mario and Zelda. NINTENDO's 3 gaming franchises that have defined genres and certain games in the franchise are insanely highly critically acclaimed. They know, they know. Trust me, it's coming. If anything, The GamePad will be used as Samus's visor. I'm counting on Miyamoto to push for this idea. ... oh god... that was the Wii U's Metroid and F-Zero wasn't it. I've always looked at it this way: It's either what you say it is, or it is NINTENDO trying to get more awareness regarding these franchises in order to reintroduce them. I mean, It's still pretty interesting NINTENDO chose Takamura's Castle and F-Zero over the likes of Kirby and Star Fox when it comes to getting a minigame in Nintendoland.

Retro_Link Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Decent watch as a discussion topic... It's true Rocksteady would be an awesome developer for Metroid! Especially to develop that third person, Dead Space style Metroid game. But yeah, although there actually have been First person single player only story games lately (the bloke who mentions them implies there haven't), with Bioshock and Far Cry 3... another First Person Metroid does seem quite unlikely just from the vibes you get from Nintendo atm. Although especially on PC, First Person single player games seem to be the in thing, in many genre's, be they adventure, horror, puzzle, or point and click story.

Wii Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I don't want a first person Metroid. It should be 3rd person on TV combined with 1st person on the gamepad. I think that would give the best of both worlds and has the potential to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would give the best of both worlds and has the potential to be amazing.I can't see that as being anything other than extremely distracting/disorientating? Surely you would just end up playing it exclusively in which ever view you prefer?... well I would want to anyway. I'd be first person all the way. Also I think it's extremely difficult to come up with level design that works for both views simultaneously. The 3D view of 2D platform environments could end up looking extremely dull.

DuD Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Wouldn't it just be similar to running around in say Zelda, and then pressing the C button to look around, but instead of pressing a button the view is just a constant on the gamepad?

Retro_Link Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh ok sorry I misunderstood that as Third Person 2D on the TV and First Person to look around on the gamepad, kinda like Other:M, but the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
