How did one man create a better Metroid game than Nintendo (a company with over 5000 employees) could in the past 9 years?

by not being bound by clueless CEO and miyamoto.

By actually trying to make a metroid game.

by copy pasting assets from zero and fusion mission to make a game nintendo already made 20 years ago

By taking 10 years plus not having to come up with original content since it's based on Metroid 2

Because unlike modern Nintendo, he actually gave a fuck.

by not worrying about making "a new way to play" like nintendo does with every game. he's a fan, so he knows what fans actually want.

Gee...
AM2R >>>>> ZM, F

By giving a shit

this.

is it really that hard for nintendo to make a 2D metroid game with 3D graphics? the closest we have is the subspace emissary section from smash bros brawl

By not having any original ideas and working off something Nintendo already created

>not having to come up with original
>Implying AM2R doesn't have a bunch of original set pieces

NEO-NINTENDO
people who care about games genuinely will make better games that care only about money.

THE PERSON WORKING ON LEGEND OF ZELDA UE4 IS BETTER THAN ALL OF THE ZELDA TEAM.

Nintendo has this dumb idea that they have to "innovate" with every new game.

Thus you end up with games that shit all over their legacy.
>Federation Force
>Sticker Star/Color Splash
>Star Fox Zero

Be glad they aren't bothering with a new 2D metroid because they would "innovate" the shit out of it.

I feel like playing some metroid with all these am2r threads recently. Post ending in:
1-3 : Metroid Prime
4 : Prime 2
5-7 : Prime 3
8 : SS2 FM
9 : Thief FM
0 : fap and go to bed

Play a god damn snes romhack

Just copy the Zero Mission template and place it over Metroid II. It's the laziest thing ever with no originaility, a real 7/10 game.

The only reason people like it is because it's free. I know I wouldn't pay for it.

I've played them to death user.
Though I might do another run of Super Metroid during christmas.

For reference, did Fusion (allegedly exactly what Metroid fans want out of the series) sell well?

It fixes an old shitty game to modern standards and solves 90% of the issues it had to begin with.
You simply have too high expectations or no idea about how metroid 2 actually was to play vanilla. The remake is 10/10, though the game itself suffers from things like repetitive metroid fights and might be a 7/10.

This. The original game is almost unplayable by todays standards. Most people I know who have played AM2R never even played the original, so it's a completely knew experience for them.

Blame the old farts like Miyamoto who are still mired in tradition and being out-of-touch with modern times.

The reason we haven't gotten an F-Zero game for years is because Miyamoto thinks the next game needs to do something that makes it very different from GX and hasn't figured out what that should be.

He cared.

> the pope removed it from the nominees list
They won't even give them that much.

Because it was his 12 year old baby and built off of a previous game.
While nintendo made a game in 9 months with a small team that never made a game in said franchise.

A Super Metroid Rom hack is 99% the same fucking game with randomized item locations.
controls and systems are entirely the same with maybe a slight chance in sprite color.
It just isn't worth it.
It isn't worth it when we have been playing these rom hacks for 9 fucking years now in wait for a actual Metroid game that doesn't blow cocks.

Nintendo is a horrendously incompetent company now. Most of their quality that they used to have is gone.

its amazing what you can accomplish when you don't have to answer to sakamoto

Didn't he just combine two existing games? kek.

Miyamoto is busing reinveting how to press a button.

Well memed

This.

Most of those 5000 employees are grunts, OP.
