They can't do 2D Metroid without him and he has moved past Metroid since his pet project Other M blew up in his face.

Is 2D Metroid done forever?

Yes, now delete this unnecessary thread.

Why exactly can't they do 2D metroid without him?

It's his department.

>They can't do 2D Metroid without him
They can and have.

>expecting new 2D Metroid when the series was rebooted into a Halo clone like a decade ago

25 years ago.

I don't think Sakamoto is holding 2D Metroid hostage.

I think the situation is worse than that, and that nobody within Nintendo even cares enough to pitch a new one.

Reggie made it clear in January that he knows fans want a Metroid game. It would be weird of Nintendo to not arrange to get a new one made.

rip Chris Cornell

That doesn't necessarily mean that it would be a 2D Metroid, it could be another Prime instead.

He never moved past Metroid, he got promoted to Executive Officer/Senior Producer so all that means is that he isn't directing or writing the games anymore, just producing them.

Is 2D Metroid done forever?
No, I can see one coming for either the Switch or 3DS, it's far more likely then another Prime game.

>Reggie made it clear in January that he knows fans want a Metroid game.
Nintendo also made it clear in December and April that they know people want the NES Classic.

Look how that turned out.

Too bad fans barely buy metroid. The day I see a new metroid sell 2 mil units after first year of release is the day you guys start getting scheduled new releases.

>tfw I bought prime 1, 2 and zero mission new at retail

>tfw I bought prime 1, 2 and zero mission new at retail
Good for you I bought Metroid, Metroid II, Super, and Fusion, then I stopped there.

You should have stopped before buying Fusion.

Takahashi: "So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we'll be able to share something about them."

immensely successful and sold out at almost all times?

But I liked Fusion, it's time for Metroid to evolve past Super Metroid.

It'll be back with a vengeance some day.

Until then, I'll be enjoying other great games liken Arms, Splatoon 2, and Fire Emblem Warriors.

This was before the Federation Force announcement.

Oh boy.

>immensely successful and sold out at almost all times?
Snapped up by scalpers because Nintendo never produced enough units to meet demand.

...

Sakamoto wanted to do a sequel to Metroid Fusion after Other M, so we'll be fine especially on the fact that Nintendo is going back to 2D instead of going the Other M route again.

...

...

Reggie also said that Metroid: Other M was his favorite. He can go climb a wall of dicks.

nice

He's a marketer. His favorite is always the one that just came out.

>esports
>"great games"

Cody pls

So why do you trust him when he says that a new good Metroid is coming?

>no, you don't get it? THIS time it'll be good! we promise

Oh right, something tells me you're on Nintendo's payroll.

I trust him when he said a new Metroid is coming, not necessarily a good one.

I don't trust his ass. Like you said, he's a marketer. They lie all the time just to get you to buy their products.

Unless I see the game infront of me, and it's a 10/10 masterpiece, Reggie is full of crap.

they had Dylan Cuthbert, the man who did Star Fox Command, on board on this shit

no wonder why it's the weakest and worse 2D Metroid

Is that actually Miyamoto's daughter or does she just look freakishly similar to him?

>Cody suddenly not shitposting about how Metroid is dead over a crappy Prime filler game
is the clock broken again?

Japanese culture.
Sakamoto is metroid, too bad sakamoto is fucking insane the interview about fusion makes you want to kill yoruself

Cody loves Super Metroid, so it's clear he only a fuss for Primefags

unless it him defending Other M...

Holy shit, Sakamoto!

>no wonder why it's the weakest and worse 2D Metroid
That honor belongs to Zero Mission and Fusion though.

Not him but what did he say in his Fusion interview because the only interview that made me mad was the Zero Mission one "dire situation".

yokoi was still alive then

metroid-database.com/features/faq.php

Lots of "I dunno lol" and "a wizard did it"

Zero Mission can get a pass for removing the shitty samey rooms from Metroid 1
as for Fusion, there isn't a 2D Metroid game that had hard ass and tactical boss fights as Fusion holds

>Zero Mission one "dire situation"

Explain.

...

To be fair, Zero Mission is where he started to lose his mind and that interview took place in Zero Mission's release year, 2004.

>They can't do 2D Metroid without him
they can always hire a new guy

Sakamoto made the team add the stealth section at the last minute of Zero Mission's development so Samus can be put in a dire situation without her suit own. Doing this made it very stressful for the team because they had to rush it complete.

This. AM2R was a great game, better than every single official Nintendo product for the past ten years, INCLUDING BREATH OF THE WILD. That cinematic Sally isn't even half the game that AM2R is.

*on

i honestly hope Metroid 5 can come sooner enough

if it's to cease all the dumb threads with Zero Suit autists and Prime crybabies bring in more trouble, i'll gladly accept a new game.

i mean look at this shit:

It's the waifu babies that are responsible. They just want movie games that you watch so you can jerk off to them. Bayonetta, Zelda, Xenoblade, you name it. They don't want good gameplay.

>thread archived

>"please gib Temco another chance"
this is why /m/ and /vr/ has better Metroid threads

Hell, I've seen Sup Forums discuss Metroid better than Sup Forums does.

I agree, Metroid 5 would shit most of the faggots up, I mean I can still see Primefags, Superfags, and ACfag being an issue, but most of the other fuckers can finally die off. I hope Halo 6 can do well as well since it will star Master Chief, have split screen, and not have bare bone content like Halo 5 at launch.

Yes. AM2R was the last straw.

*shut

>Halo clone

How the fuck is Metroid Prime anything like Halo?

>it's a "idiot sPrime fan easily falls for bait" or "shitposter eats his own bait" level

let's not pretend there are good metroid threads anywhere its either non-stop shitposting or a whiny prime circlejerk

you clearly never been into a simple Metroid thread in any of the mentioned boards in this thread

i wouldn't even dare to link one to a Sup Forums thread due to crossboard shitposters

>Metroid 2 as an example of anything good

This fucking game aged like milk in the sun, user. Not saying Sakamoto is the lynchpin of 2D Metroid which is a joke but come the fuck on.

shut up ACfag

>John Romero Made Doom and Metroid

What a legend

yeah but fans can pick it up like AM2R

metroid wouldn't get a main 2D game anyway, nintendo doesn't do main 2D games unless they are platformers

Metroid is a platformer.

Wrong they will just go the Fusion route with the next 2D Metroid game.

no it's not, it has platforming elements that become irrelevant once space jump is acquired

no indication of that

...

prove me wrong, space jump gets rid of platforming elements

This is a clear indication of that, gamers today don't have the time or patience to explore an open ended environment, plus 2D Metroid can't evolve past Super so going the Fusion route with a more opened environment would make more sense.

well, for starters, Fusion outsold Super Metroid

This as well.

higher selling console

Zero Mission sold badly on the GBA

i'll make a thread about it later

remake vs new game

if we're going by that though, prime came out the same day as fusion and sold double as much on a console with less sales

Yeah, and that's why you don't get Space Jump until the end of the game. And even then it's hard to use in crowded vertical areas since it doesn't naturally travel straight up, and until you get Screw Attack you're vulnerable to enemies.

Ocarina of Time 3D did margins better the two LttP "sequels" on the 3DS

it is really possible to spin game the entire rest of the game

dunno if someone, even a speedrunner, has the real autism to do that.

why would you do that? You can mitigate the platforming though which is never the focus anyway

that's like saying SMB3 isn't a platformer since you can just skip a majority of the platforming in-game with the Paratroopa Wing and Flute

then again, you get the space jump pretty late in most Metroid platformers

despite those platforming is still the main (and only) focus on SMB3. Those items are also temporary/don't work in fortress/scrolling levels

>Paratroopa Wing

Holy shit, is that what the P stands for?

yeah

why do you think they looked like the wings on that koopa troopas back?

That might be a stretch, given that it was probably be called "P" wing because it maxed out your "P" meter at the bottom of the screen in SMB3.

No he didn't. He said that he enjoyed it and that it didn't deserve the hate. Which is his fucking job to say.

Oh boy, another linear, story-driven Metroid. At this point just keep him away from Metroid. He hasn't made a truly great one since Super, discounting Zero Mission since it was built on Metroid 1 which didn't have any story.

I don't understand why people keep acting like Zero Mission is the same game as the first Metroid. Yes, it used the first Metroid as a blueprint, but it is a completely different game overall.

Fusion wasn't bad and Zero Mission was shallow, Zero Mission like Zelda TP is just a knock off of a better game, Metroid needs to move away from Super Metroid, a more open Fusion is a start.

It's his fault they made Samus a bitch, the series is better without him.

The point being that Sakamoto couldn't make ZM linear and stuff in a huge plot. And it's far too short with much of the extra content being shitty stealth.

fusion had a bunch of problems despite it being good, the biggest problems were the linearity as well as forced cutscenes/handholding with Adam. Those need to fuck off and then it'll be great. Oh wait that super metroid

Fusion, AM2R and super Metroid are my favorite, followed by zm. We need a SOTN tier Metroid to undo the prime meme. 3dpd fags have no taste

>new metroidvania indie game comes out every month that is better than 75% of the 2D Metroid games

>people still want another 2D Metroid

For what purpose? Do we really need more of these games? Are you people brain dead?

>liking fusion over prime

pure plebian

>likes fusion
>shits on prime 1/2fags

you have a lot of nerve, I'll give you that
