They're already managed to churn out Wonderful 101 as part of their Bayonetta 2 agreement with Nintendo (one for you, but one for us, in simple terms); I do hope they don't rush it, whatever it ends up being.Eve Charm said:

It wouldn't have teabagging. Samus doesn't crouch, she rolls up into a ball. It would be morph bouncing...or beading.Zachary Amaranth said:
OT: I'm up for another Prime. I like Super, don't get me wrong, but after seeing a walk-through of Other M, I can say with certainty that going for that old school Metroid feel was a mistake. Everything about that game was inferior to Prime: the gameplay that either relied on autotargeting or clunky missile controls, the bland setting (that was practically recycled from Fusion) and monsters, and the fucking agonizingly terrible story.
Seriously, Team Ninja. I'm sure your other games are good, but don't do another Metroid.
And I can say that was also the worst part about it to. They tried to retcon Prime, but Other M will live on forever because it was the creator's baby. I hope he stays away from future installments.Neronium said:
Excuse me, I'm going to go weep in a corner now.
for me, yes. I will buy a console if they make another Non-Metroid Other M. Hands down. I'm strictly a PC Gamer but I Love my Metroid.
If they make a proper metroid title, and not what ever Other M was meant to be, I WILL buy a Wii U.

Not really.Despite it's rather vocal fan base Metroid has never been a massive selling series.According to VGChartz Prime 1 is the best selling game in the series with 2.8 million worldwide sales which isn't huge numbers.I'm sure there are people that would buy a Wii U if a new Metroid was released but I doubt it'd have a significant impact on sales
Starfox and F-Zero are in the same boat.A vocal fan base but unfortunately the numbers would suggest that there's not that much of a market for them certainly less than Metroid anywayNeronium said:
According to VGChartz(tbh I don't know how accurate their figures are)Prime 1 is the best selling title in the series selling around twice what Super Metroid managed
I think Smash Brothers and Zelda are the only ones that may increase the sales significantly now. As others have said, it's not the biggest seller. I fucking love Super Metroid and Metroid Prime, they are easily some of the best games I've ever played, but these days Nintendo just don't make 'em like they used to and it wouldn't make a difference to me till they go back to making games like they did. That might put a big spike in their sales you know, cause many agree with me, but of course it's a risk and they will only play it safe now.
I could see it being a motivator but will it move units the way a mario or zelda will? Hell no. First off, the most recent main installment was considered by most to be bad. Second, the N64 didn't have a metroid game on it. That's a whole generation of nostalgia that nintendo missed out on. Third, matroid prime, though critically acclaimed, was for the most part playing second banana to halo when it came to console FPS games at the time. Not saying halo is better, but more popular? I'd make that claim.
Let's just say personally I know plenty of people, gamers even, who have never played a metroid game. Definitely never met a gamer who hadn't played a mario.

Hm, while that sounds true one thing I don't really trust is VGChartz because they at times pull numbers out of nowhere since they often make predictions. One thing I do know though is that Super Metroid outsold Prime in Japan a lot because Japan aren't big on FPS games.MetalDooley said:

Don't worry, I'm a Sonic fan and have been through similar betrayals as well. *looks at Shadow the Hedgehog since by 06 Yuuji Naka had left Sonic Team and SEGA*
How are you getting a conclusion like that from this thread?Full Metal Bolshevik said:
It might attract long time fans, but not people like me, i have never played metroid, i don't care much for platformers, so if they want to sell it to me they should have more options than those few tired franchises that they keep recycling endlessly. I guess it's already too late for the wii U, i don't know what it could do to attract people who aren't nintendo fans, probably nothing.
100% with you on X. Right now i'm prepared to by a Wii U and X if i dont buy another game on the system and i'll still consider it a good buy.lechat said:
A really good Metroid might make me want the system but Mario isnt going anywhere except remake country and Zelda imo seems to be running out of steam
While Mario I won't argue, I say Zelda still has steam, but it's seeming like that steam is staying on handhelds, just like Mario it seems because Nintendo appears to be more creative on handhelds nowadays than when it comes to their home consoles, which is weird.Quellist said:
Maybe if a new reboot was made?, the gameplay of othe M was nice, story well i didn't mind it but a other people seem to hate it so I guess a reboot is necesary. I know everyone loves the prime series but imho it was ok, but I hope they ditch the FPS of Metroid and add ... more Metroid ? exploration some fine combat, heck I would like if they keep the other M combat.
