Rumor: Retro Studios Pitched Puzzle-Heavy Metroid Game After Prime

That sounds fun actually, I would have tried it.

WHY WASN'T THIS MADE?

This sounds like it could have been my favorite Metroid game! This is fantastic! And I love all the references to other games/movies the document made. Good to know that's acceptable

Because God likes to watch gamers suffer.

But... if this game was made, it would be God.
But the game doesn't exist.
So God doesn't exist.
So there's nothing spiteful to make sure the game never gets made.
So it gets made.
And the game is God.
So God exists, and is spiteful, so the game never gets made.
So God doesn't exist.
So---

Typical for any media development cycle.
Creativiy + intellegence + Engineering + Genius = Cash!!
So therefore:
Immediate invasion of worthless capitalist 'Money Men' claiming success as their own.

Cue several sequels of inane iteration and collapsing quality as 'Money Men' abandon IP while while still proclaiming said IP.

Why is there a piece of Metroid Prime 2 Space Pirate concept art attached to the article?

That sounds amazing. Nintendo, make it now. I WILL BUY IT (once I have a Wii).

Why oh why wasn't this game green lit? Instead we got the damn folks at Team Ninja who have no idea what Metroid is all about giving us a whiny Samus.

I love the Metroid Series and out of pure protest I have not purchased 'Other M'. I saw a few minutes of it at a store and said Hell No.

Hopefully Nintendo will go back to Retro and say "Hey, you know that idea you had for a Metroid game, let's do that, because this last one didn't perform as well."
