"Unfortunately Metroid is kind of out of our league as its Nintendos game, but were still in close touch with co-creator Sakamoto-san, so we want to do something with him moving forward definitely. It really depends on what he wants to do with the game first."

--

I say this is likely to happen because there's no internal Nintendo team to spare for a niche game like Metroid, I liked Other M, it's not Prime but better than nothing.

Other M was awful, the world doesn't need a follow-up. Hayashi should stick to what he knows, making sure Tina's breasts bounce accurately.

I doubt it'll be Other M 2 in terms of game design with the gamepad and all, and since the series appeals more to western gamers, they will probably cut the anime-ish look and the out there dialogue.

as soon as I came into this thread I knew people would go "NO NO!"

Other M was good. Maybe this time they'll put some better use to the platforming.

Other M was awful

Slashkice


I seriously wonder if I played the same game as others when they say this.
The game was fun and well made on nearly all fronts BUT the characters and dialogue. Those were bad, or rather not fitting for a metroid game.
Id like another Other M structured Metroid but with Team Ninja no where near the story and characters. Other M couldve been amazing if it wasnt for them.

If the story and characters are handled by the creators of Metroid, and not Team ninja. Why not make a sequel?

Other M wasn't terrible, but there were some big flaws that TN would need to fix before I buy another one of their Metroid games

I just realized you could do some amazing things with the other M template combined with the gamepad. For instance the "scan the environment" sections and 1st person mode could be done with the gyro sensor, much like how it's used in OoT 3D but you could also look around you 360 degrees in space, spherical view I think it was called. It is a much smoother process than turning the wiimote from sideways position.

Metroid fanbases reaction: NOOOOO!

As for me on Other M, well, I've said my share on the game. It's a flawed, but still decent experience.

The story was done by one of the original Metroid creators, Yoshio Sakamoto.

Nooooooooo... I don't blame the first one, it seemed like a great idea. But it just didn't work out. Give to a new studio. Kojima Productions maybe :P

No. Team Ninja just needs to stop making games. Or at least make a new IP as to not further tarnish cIassic series like Ninja Gaiden and Metroid.

Other M wasnt terrible like so many claim, but it was pretty lame for a Metroid title.

Team ninja is a shadow of what it was before the departure of itagaki. Ninja Gaiden 3 was a travesty. They would only ruin the metroid franchise.

No, please no. Other M was awful, all thanks to Team Ninja.

If a new Metroid game should be made it better be handled by Retro Studios or the studios that made the 2D Metroid games.

Yeah a lot of people hate on Itagaki, but the man worked wonders with Ninja Gaiden. Really a great designer. Hyashi is just a little b*tch by comparison.

All Other M needed was better world design and layout. Everything else was definitely good for the Metroid series (including the narrative and exposition). If Nintendo doesn't have anyone else working on a new Metroid, I say give Team Ninja another go... but at the very least, give them some more solid support when it comes to making it Metroid rather than Ninja Gaiden in space. And don't let Sakamoto write the dialogue.

The awful elements in Other M came from Sakamoto, not Team Ninja. If Team Ninja can make a Metroid game by itself, it would probably turn out better. Then again, I really don't want to take that chance.

Well if the NG games are any indication they too cannot tell a proper story to save their lives. Metroid should go back to quiet exploration with minimal story telling elements.

Team Ninja's additions to Other M were arguably the best parts of the game. It was the story (directed by Sakamoto) that brought the game down as a whole. I'd like to see Team Ninja have another go at Metroid, really. Just keep the story to a minimum and put all the focus on making a fun 3rd-person Metroid game.

Metroid Other M wasn't as bad as everybody made it out to be, but it deifinitely seemed horrible because it had to be held up to the Metroid franchise. I really do hope that Retro Studios does at least one more Metroid Prime especially after the cliff hanger they left us at the end of Corruption.

I can tell you that "cliff hanger" isn't going to be going into be in a Prime game again. Honestly, Retro Studios needs to MOVE ON from Metroid, and their work on Donkey Kong proves that.

Going by their recent accomplishment known as Ninja Gaiden 3, I strongly hope Hayashi would stay the f*ck away from Metroid. Go make DOAX3 or some Dynasty Warriors game or something.

No thanks, I don't like Metroid Gaiden.

Just let Retro make a Metroid Prime 4 for the Wii U (with Metroid Hunters style arena MP deathmatching) and let the team that made Metroid Fusion make Metroid V for the 3DS.

It's simple, he wants a Metroid game more akin to Halo 4 which is a Halo game more akin to Metroid Prime.

It must have something to attract the Halo/CoD crowd ;)

I don't think MP Hunters was that bad.

Just the aiming was a little clunky.

Of course I wouldn't want it to play the same, but there's a lot of stuff in there that I would like to see used full force in a Metroid game. I wouldn't be surprised if a mellower scene of H4 taken out of context could be mistaken as MP4 on the WiiU or something.

They'd be better off letting the Bayonetta dude do it. At least the combat would be good and the controls wouldn't be borked.

I don't know why people keep saying Other M was awful, it wasn't as good as the Prime games surely but it was at least worth playing. People regurgitate the same X-Play review bashing of it regarding its story... as far as I'm concerned the Metroid games lacked a lick of story all together, Metroid cartridge games used to have more story written on the back of cardboard cases before Other M. Sure the submissive Samus angle was stupid but it only served the basic formula of all other Metroid games toward a a progressive weapon upgrade system, is anybody surprised though this comes from the same culture where woman casually make rape moan noises during sex to show their submission to men, Samus kowtowing to her former superior officer and crush seems rather tame in comparison, and can you blame her for all that time she spends out in space by herself. Anyhow, though I think Team Ninja has hit rock bottom since Itagaki left them I think they're still qualified to make more Metroid games, as much as people pretend to love the Metroid series the games in the last decade have staggered to barely more than a cult following, because of the little fanfare Nintendo treats the series like its bastard stepchild, bringing it out for air every few years only to show the world it hasn't died entirely due to neglect. So no, I don't mind Team Ninja wants to keep making Metroid games, someone has to make them.

Either way, neither can make a good storyline :P

Bear in mind that Team Ninja had nothing to do with the game's story. They only did the gameplay and stuff. Now, if you hated *that*, then feel free to continue with the variations on "no."

Metroid is one of the few Nintendo franchises I still like and Team Ninja almost single handidly ruined that franchise by themselves. There is no need for them to go back and put the nail in the coffin.
