• Nothing but a dumbed-down version of Metroid for all the drooling masses who crave God Of War Brawling and forced JRPG drama.

• I think I'm in love. That's all I have to say.

• Gotcha. Yeah, they're not for everybody.

• I'm sure that <i>Prime Pinball</i> IS fun, but it's still a pinball game. I'm not really interested.

• You're just bitter because <i>Super Metroid</i> was the last <i>Metroid</i> game that you didn't completely suck at. It's alright. You can admit it. We're not here to judge you.

• Prime Pinball is very fun. Think of it as a Metroid Prime themed pinball table. Chad up there might be an idiot. Super Metroid is, indeed, one of the best games ever made, but it's not immune to criticism. Weapon-switching was terrible, for example. Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission largely eclipse Super Metroid in terms of scope and gameplay. This is not to say that Super Metroid didn't lay the groundwork for those games. It did, but you don't hear anybody praising Metroid (NES) because it laid the groundwork for Super Metroid. The original game is borderline unplayable. Have you played Metroid Prime? It's Super Metroid from a different perspective. Echoes was kind of an odd duck, but Corruption was great. I've very excited about Other M. It looks like the same kind of thing: Fusion or Super Metroid from a different perspective. You can't expect the developers to cough up a prettied-up version of Super Metroid every few years, can you? CAN YOU? Maybe you do. Just go play Super Metroid again. That seems to be all you really want. Anyway. My only gripe with Other M is that Sakamoto was and continues to be anti-Nunchuck. The game MUST be played with the Remote only, which blows. Exploring a 3D environment with a tiny D-pad? Thanks, but no thanks. It's not like the Nunchuck is an optional accessory, either. If you own a Wii, you own a Nunchuk. It came in the box.

• If I had a suit of power armor I'd definitely kickbox some alien monsters from time to time, hand cannon or no hand cannon.

• Looks like crap. There hasn't been a good Metroid game since Super Metroid... Actually, let me rephrase that. There hasn't been a Metroid game since Super Metroid that felt like a true and proper sequel to the greatest game ever created. All the modern Metroid games feel like shallow imitators, shameless cash grabs, and rehash of all the best parts of Metroid while still somehow managing to miss the point. It's the reason Resident Evil 5 is terrible while Resident Evil 4 was brilliant. You can't regurgitate all the stunning set pieces in a series and expect the same wow factor. These modern sequels are the old game with a new coat of paint that removes all the charm, new features that make the game play worse rather than better, and attempts to take the game into directions that it doesn't need to go. Samus has a @#$%ing hand cannon, and yet she's kickboxing alien monsters (when not to busy going WWE style on them). The X-ray scope and grapling gun were the weakest links in Super Metroid, and yet all the modern Metroid games make them starring features. Samus's visor has so many freaking icons on it, I feel like I'm seeing Armored Core played on first person with every possible indicator light turned on. This game will likely grab an average score betwen 8 and 9 with most players and critics and will sell a crap load of copies, but it will never truly be the Metroid sequel diehard fans of the original Metroid games has been waiting for all this time. I don't think any series other than Mario Bros has ever made a worthy sequel to a masterpeice. The Mario staff always knows just how to make things fresh while keeping them classic. If only they could do the same for Metroid.

• You're talking about being addicted to coffee like there's something wrong with that. Be proud of your java addiction, son!

• That's pretty much how I am. The only major <i>Metroid</i> title that I haven't played/owned is <i>Fusion</i>. I missed that game and I've since sold my GBA SP and DS Lite.<br> And I admittedly skipped <i>Metroid Prime Pinball</i> because... Well... It's just a pinball game. Screw that.

• I LOLed at the image of you paying the Wii but keep hitting yourself in the nuts! Thank you, sir!

• If it's <i>Metroid</i>, I'll be buying it.

• Is it me or does Samus' line at the end of the trailer sound pretty stupid? Otherwise, the gameplay looks like fun even though it probably could've been made for the Gamecube. The cinematics look good, but everything else looks like a Gamecube game.

• They should have this music instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgLKn-aVMl8

• Both...

• Yeah, drink coffee. I am fucking addicted to the stuff. 3-4 POTS a day habit. I gave up smoking and liquor, all I got left is coffee. Take my coffee and I will end you.

• And from what I've read, the new <i>Ninja Gaiden</i> games are pretty good. What's your point?

• I know its Team Ninja, but it really does seem to play like Ninja Gaiden with a hand cannon.

• I always thought that a <i>Contra</i> FPS would be awesome if done correctly.

• I'm in. Can't wait.

• When you say "drink coffee" we all know what you really mean.

• First off, that preview made me do nasty things in my pants. Second off, agreed. More buttons do not always a better game make. I'm wondering why the idea of changing the orientation of the Wii-mote never came up as a valid idea before. Maybe it did and the game sucked so I missed it? I'd play more Wii games if they didn't all require the hit me in the nuts nunchuck. And really, how am I supposed to do a few one handed game things and drink coffee with the other with that setup. With this control scheme, when I am looking around, I can take a drink. It's genius!

• Looks good. I'd support other games with this kind of viewpoint if it works out well. Imagine the possibilities for Metal Gear, Contra, Blaster Master, Bionic Commando...

• Would you do Samus with her Armour on or off?

• No fucking way in hell will this work without Motion Plus, and if they do it without the add-on, kiss your accuracy goodbye. No one wants to develop for it, and they really should.

• loved the prime games and this is going to be just as good if not better. I hope, who cares I'll play anyways

• You get up too early.

• Is it just me, or does her armor seem alittle too sleek. Her tiny shoulder pads are kinda fuckin with my head.

• Never completed a single Prime game, might actually complete this one.
