stuwii Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 lets all agree guys that this should look like an xbox 360 game right?
mcj metroid Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 well not exactly.it should look better than echoes.thats all i want.i would be happy with that.I think it looks perfect the way it is now.and its only going to get better
Goron_3 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I'm not a big Prime fan, but some of the info Dante posted sounded really sweet. This will be BIG! I wonder if they're actually going to advertise it for a change.

Retro_Link Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 like this http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/1951/ The advert should be like the one for Prime, http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=2262&type=wmv&pl=game Except this time show it!! ALOT!!

mcj metroid Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 yep neither did i.I see a lot lot of ds and wii games though.but i never remember seeing a gamecube game.i even rememeber snes
Atomic Boo Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 i saw a couple of metroid adverts, they were quite good. have to say though there were much more adverts for hunters on the DS
Jamba Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Tell me Ninty are gonna show some of this off at GDC. It's probably my most anticipated game for the Wii, bar Zelda and we have heard nothing in MONTHS!!!! Cmooon.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 This is sad. I would like to see at least one DS or Wii ad in my lifetime. (internet doesn't count) That SNES ad part when samus starts walking in her suit is hilarious.
Konfucius Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Yesterday I stumbled upon a Metroid comic by chance. I thought some of you guys would probably like it. It's a fan translation of the official Japanese manga though so don't forget to read the individual pages from bottom to top and left to right. Metroid Manga
Kurtle Squad Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I've seen it before....Before they fixed the start and ending of episode 2....so before Dec 2005 according to that site :shock:
ShadowV7 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Just a bit,there's been like no news since E3 apart from it getting delayed...
James McGeachie Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Actually there was a new demo and other stuff, with the space station and all that. I think it was at that German conference.
Atomic Boo Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Just bumping this from half way down the 6th wii duscussion page, so what does that tell you? This game is a system seller, and one of the main reasons to get a wii and there's absolutely nothing to show for it. This means 1) they better release some news soon 2) retro studios needs a kick up the arse if 1 does not happen
Teppo Holmqvist Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Just bumping this from half way down the 6th wii duscussion page, so what does that tell you? This game is a system seller... Actually, Metroid Prime isn't true system seller by any stretch. First one sold 2.7 million copies worldwide, second only 1.25 million copies. In fact, even Mario Parties* have sold better than Metroid Prime. * And still, interestingly enough, I still need to see guy who would complain about Mario Party being late
gaggle64 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 The Wii doesn't need a system seller though. Gamers young and old are snapping em' up as fast as Nintendo can pump the things out. Personally, I'm happy to wait and let Retro Studios do whatever they need to do to make the best damn game possible. Besides, I still haven't finished Echos.
ShadowV7 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I think it needs a couple of "system sellers" to attract the more hardcore gamers and keep the fans happy.Alot of people are picking them up because of the "non-games" such as Wii sports,but it would be good to keep the momentum going and to keep people happy with their system with a good flow of games and get the Wii to appeal to gamers who are more into 360 and PS2/3 because if more younger and more mature people play the Wii and the play the same couple of games the magic might rub off a bit,so to keep things fresh and attract the people a "system seller" can be released.
Cube Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Why release a "system seller" when there are no systems that need selling?
dazzybee Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 This is becoming a very interesting point. NIntendo will sell every machine they make, so from a business stand point does it hold back all its big guns for when sales slow down? But then if realy good games dont come out now, people with Wiis may get bored and buy a 360 or ps3, and people waiting for a Wii may give up cause theres no decent games. Maybe we havent heard anything because Nintendo are thinking about these factors, for me 3rd party support is looking awesome and in the next 2 months theres Super paper mario and Mario Strikers. Interesting though, I just wish Nintendo could produce more machines!!!
gaggle64 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Of course, the next big system seller (Brain Training) isn't likely to appeal to the "hardcore fans" in the slightest. Like the DS version it will almost certainly shift squillions of games and consoles, but into the hands of your gaming grandma and all her friends. Lets face it, we're a minor revenue stream now.

Fierce_LiNk Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I don't think it's bad for a game to have little news released about it. As long as the information comes at the right time, through advertising, etc. Trouble is, nowadays, there is a problem of 'over-hyping' a game. We kept seeing screens and trailers and bits of news for Twilight Princess for 2 years. Was it any wonder that the game left people underwhelmed? It was never going to meet expectations, due to the stupidly high pedestal people put it on before release. The info will come, all in good time. Look at the Mario Galaxy trailer, very well timed I thought. A little teaser to keep the fans going. As we get closer and closer to its release, we'll get more and more info and videos, etc.

It was never going to meet expectations, due to the stupidly high pedestal people put it on before release. Very true. A great example, even if it has started to get over used on here, is ExciteTruck. No real hype for it yet just about everyone who bought it on these forums loved it to bits as it was a nice suprise. Back on topic, I have never been a big fan of the Metroid games but I still have played through them all and will still be picking this up as I want to see how the story ends.
