>>Crossovers ruined Metroid

???

What crossover did f-zero and metroid have

Smash Bros.

Smash.

Anyone remember back in the 90s when people were complaining that OOT was ruined due to the easter egg where you can see Mario portraits through the windows where you first meet child Zelda?

Yeah, I'm sure if Captain Falcon and Samus weren't in Smash we'd be swimming in F-Zero and Metroid games.

If Capcom didn't throw Morrigan and friends into every crossover ever then Darkstalkers would magically have Street Fighter popularity and totally wouldn't just be forgotten in time forever.

Ruined by literally the only thing keeping those IPs in the public eye.

But what about a Metroid F-Zero crossover?

If the crossovers hadn't warped the public's perception of these IPs into one-note memes, there might have been a chance for some genuine interest in them.

I can believe that for F-Zero. But that's also due to the anime launching the Falcon Punch meme to legendary status.

If anything warped the perception of Metroid it's Prime for making people think it's a FPS.

Perception of Darkstalkers has always been "fighting game with goofy monsters". No idea what you're getting at here.

crossovers keep darkstalkers relevant
metroid is fine
f zero isnt coming back

How the fuck did that ruin anything?

>If the crossovers hadn't warped the public's perception of these IPs into one-note memes,
But the only meme Smash is responsible for with respect to Metroid was done by Metroidfags themselves, not Nintendo.

captain falcon is no longer an f-zero pilot, he's
epic falcon punch man
and zero suit samus is pointless. i love fanservice and ass n' titties but now all the character is known for is a blond skin-tight suit bimbo. the porns great but nobody seems to actually care about the games

Yes when Sakurai put Captain Falcon in Smash, he did so with the intention of turning the character into a one note Falcon Punch meme.

He did this of course with his clairvoyance ability allowing him to peer into the future to learn what memes are.

Zero Suit was in Zero Mission and Prime 2 well before Brawl dumbass.

>but now all the character is known for is a blond skin-tight suit bimbo

says who?

Y'know, just because something happens, doesn't mean that was the intention.

And how are memes preventing a new F-Zero from being made?

Like you think Nintendo is like "oh well we were gonna make a new F-Zero but since everyone is making jokes about him punching we'll have to cancel it"

It was Mario Kart that destroyed F-Zero, not Smash.

>people in this thread think captain falcon was relevant to anything before smash

He was a fuckin static image prior to smash bros. His presence in melee is one of many things that made that game as good as it is today.

Also the prospect of a platinum style falcon game with fighting and bounty hunting is 100 times more interesting than another racer.

Sorry nerds but that's just the way it is

Thanks to smash people still know what f-zero is
You should thank Sakurai
Not everything is a meme

This. Unfortunately, on it's worst day Mario Kart outsells the entire F-Zero franchise.

Darkstalkers is dead because it isn't popular enough. Resurrection apparently sold like shit.

F-Zero is dead because Nintendo doesn't know how to manage IPs that aren't Mario, Zelda and Pokemon.

Metroid is still alive but has suffered from mismanagement.

>tfw no F-Zero racer/beat'em up

>1 billion (est) different IPs are included in Smash Bros.
>Metroid and F-Zero are the only ones that died
Clearly, it's Sakurai's fault.

>crossovers keep darkstalkers relevant

Hardly, nothing is stopping Crapcom from making a proper DS sequel right now, you can make a decent fighting game on the cheap, it could quite easily run on the SFV engine.

Yep, "FALCON PUNCH" killed F-Zero

Just like how "I'M REALLY FEELING IT" killed the Xenoblade series

Oh wait

>i love fanservice and ass n' titties but

Okay champ.

ITS NOT FAIR! WHY DONT PEOPLE LIKE GOING FAST ANYMORE

Resurrection sold "like shit" because it was released around the time Capcom was even more out of their minds than usual and wanted everything to sell millions. Even sloppy HD ports, new IPs, and games with no marketing.

I want to believe they'll eventually give it another, fair, chance. But I know they won't.

>nintendo cant handle other ips that arent mario
>mfw

Also the MvC1 port that came out right before it sold like shit too, but no one's trying to use that as evidence that MvC isn't popular. People were just getting tired of rebuying old games.

fighting game market is pretty saturated right now desu, SFV isn't doing too hot and they have a new marvel on the horizon. higher ups would want DS to pull in a lot of people to justify it being made and as it is now it would probably get glossed over outside of people who actually care about the series

I think part of the problem for F-Zero was it's difficulty. The difficulty curve ramps up quick in story mode.

That might go over better today because normies think difficulty is cool ever since Dark Souls. But I doubt Nintendo is willing to try it.

I still haven't gotten far in Story mode. Always crap out at the race against Goroh.

Isn't that like the second mission? It only gets worse after that.

>literally the second mission
>first real mission after the tutorial

I got to the death race with Michael Chain. Tried it so many times that somehow I still remember his name.

That's honestly way easier than most of the missions. If you remember to spin.

No, they just didn't give a shit about them. There is a difference.

Metroid was never good

>Had a dream about this amazing Metroid game called Super Metroid
>Tfw I'm awake and it doesn't exist

>metroid is fine

this is shorter than the wait between super metroid and prime

>unironically wanting another fighting game from nucapcom
