Gaijin von Snikbah Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 They should market it as the next great thing. Sorta like the next Wii Sports thing.
Chris the great Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 thought that occured to me last night, say mother brain was chozo computer, and the arrora were based on her, the space pirates resorecting mother brain may well have used an arora as a host for the mother brain data, which would explain why the images looked more like mother brain on super metroid.
DCK Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I wonder how anyone at Nintendo could cancel Metroid Dread... It makes me wonder what material they'd have left after Fusion. Maybe they find another Metroid colony, or the X story is continued on SR388's surface (that'd actually make a lot of sense).
Sparko Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Fair play to Nintendo for responding to Matt's article. I'm happy to see that Nintendo plan to market it in the "conventional" way as well, because not every Wii owner has internet access to download the preview channel and of course MP3 should be considered as a system selling game and obviously people who haven't bought a Wii already won't have access to the preview channel! Nintendo have been doing well this generation with tv ads, I think I've seen more in the 8 months since release than I ever seen in the entire lifespan of the Gamecube. So hopefully they stick with the trend and strongly advertise this.
Speedfreak Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 or the X story is continued on SR388's surface (that'd actually make a lot of sense). You mean the planet that EXPLODED?

Samus finding herself to have energy absorption powers due to his DNA recombination with metroid DNA.
Demuwan Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=81447 Eurogamer Preview
Goron_3 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=81447 Eurogamer Preview nice preview. I'm guessing the review code will be coming sometime before the 20th. Ahh so excited to see what they give it.
Chris the great Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 im just replaying prime 2 and i havent missed a scan yet, god scanning is nerve wracking. its only the spider guardian thats killed me so far as well, i forgot my easy trick for him. some how, i can't see metroid appealing to the casual gamer, the general slow pace, carefull scanning and back tracking would put off alot of my mates.
Jonnas Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 You mean the planet that EXPLODED? Wait a second. Since when did SR388 explode?
Chris the great Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Wait a second. Since when did SR388 explode? when the space station from fusion hit it.
Speedfreak Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 when the space station from fusion hit it. Which then exploded. Then both exploded.
Chris the great Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Which then exploded. Then both exploded. which ruled.
Zechs Merquise Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I'm pleased they're planning to push this and really go for it. I think they should've done this with the first and the second. I think both the first and the second are better than Halo (I know a lot of people will get mad about me comparing). I think where Nintendo ha let us down is with Metroid marketing, this franchise should be treated like the gem it is!
Mokong Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Just checking the comments on N-Europe Youtube channel for the video of the 2 new vids added on the 13th. One guy came up with the idea that the Auroa supercomputers mentioned in the first video could be a hint of a Motherbrian boss....anyone else think of that? Would be awesome to see Motherbrain makes an apperance
tapedeck Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Nintendo should release a short playable demo on this new channel (sooner the better). Just a short teaser showing the quality of the title would entice gamers into buying the full game. It 'should' be downloaded straight from the inbox (if plausible). This would target ALL online Wii owners. I'm actually suprised Nintendo haven't done this kind of advertising (straight to Wii) yet. I was thinking this was like free advertising to MILLIONS of Wii owners. I'm sure the Metroid preview channel is only the start of things to come. Maybe in the future we will see short demos becoming available. (Or included with game disks as a bonus channel). Afterall, a video can only convey so much.
Mokong Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 That's actually a great idea Tapedeck, using advertising like that could be the best way for Nintendo to try and get their new "Non-gamers" to get interested in/start playing "real-games"
mcj metroid Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I really don't think the wii has enoough space for demoes though.
Chris the great Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 shame it would take up to much memory on the wii :'( plus, metroid isnt really that good in bursts, its more about atmosphear then quick thrills, still its a good idea, nintendo could even have an advert channel, you just watch game trailers on a live stream. that might work?
mcj metroid Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 shame it would take up to much memory on the wii :'( plus, metroid isnt really that good in bursts, its more about atmosphear then quick thrills, still its a good idea, nintendo could even have an advert channel, you just watch game trailers on a live stream. that might work? i agree. Metroid really isn't a demo type of game... not many games anymore. Demoes were extrememly popular in the ps1 era but since then nothing much. Metroid prime hunters however was a brilliant showcase for a game that would be the worst metroid ever:)
Deathborn Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Just checking the comments on N-Europe Youtube channel for the video of the 2 new vids added on the 13th. One guy came up with the idea that the Auroa supercomputers mentioned in the first video could be a hint of a Motherbrian boss....anyone else think of that? Would be awesome to see Motherbrain makes an apperance Yep I nearly of that happening, seeing how they push that. But it will not be truly be mother brain but a similar supercomputer probably infected by the virus they talked in one of the demo. We need Kraid now!
Owen Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I suppose someone has said this...but that Metroid Dread game (DCK mentioned) becoming a virtual console game to advertise Corruption, would be cool wouldn't it? and a BIG surprise, as we were all thinking it was canned.
Cube Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Yep I nearly of that happening, seeing how they push that. But it will not be truly be mother brain but a similar supercomputer probably infected by the virus they talked in one of the demo.We need Kraid now! Well, they've made a 3D model for Kraid.
DCK Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 You mean the planet that EXPLODED? Ah right, I forgot that. It's a shame really because there was no real reason for the planet to be destroyed and it would've allowed for some more awesome X action.
Zechs Merquise Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I often wonder what actual force it would take to blow up a whole planet! It happens too foten for my liking!
