Any ideas on what Metroid Wii U will be like?

My hope is that with the better hardware, they can make a Metroid game that can be fully played in either first or 3rd person. It would be pretty cool, as long as neither perspective was lacking. I also imagine Dead Space -esque graphics (think parts when you're outside of the ship and can see outer space). I'm not obsessed over graphics but I think Metroid is a series that could really benefit from a more powerful system. Retro did such an amazing job with GC/Wii hardware, I'd love to see what they can do on Wii U.

Anyway, what do you all want for Metroid Wii U?

I sort of want a first person Metroid game on the Wii U. It would be pretty cool to scan around with the Wii U controller. At the same time, I feel like three first person Metroid games is enough. I guess I'd be happy if they made a game that resembles Other M in gameplay, but the Prime games in soul.

I hope it's like the Prime series, because I hated Other M.

I was actually thinking about this last night!

You know in the Wii U trailer at E3 where you hold the Wii U up to the screen and you can see part of the big web browser on the TV screen on the Wii U controller screen? Well I was thinking that this could be like Samus' visor, so you can quickly hold up your WiiPad up to the TV screen, and it'll be your visor on the Pad screen, from here you move your pad around (maybe you should hold a button down to let it know you want to look around in this screen?) and scan things or what ever.

Reminds me of that CryEngine hack a few months ago :P

hell yes this would be awesome. with the added HD and the second screen and all, who knows what they could make of it.

i didnt so much hate it, but i agree that it had many flaws. some being the story (absolutly terrible), the weapons, somewhat control, length, linearity.

Metroid Prime 4 would be nice,but a unique Metroid game would be cool.

Maybe a third person adventure?

She could have an energy sword coming out of her cannon for close encounters!

probably awesome is what i think :P

if its 1st person..it better have wiimote support though...

Hopefully something with some actual non-linear level design and item progression. So essentially, the opposite of the last few Metroid games that were released.

Her character wasn't unlikable, people just didn't like that it didn't mesh with what they think of Samus. Your also exaggerating talking about pathetic dependance and of course she should be happy that her parents were killed in front of her, that's always an awesome experience.

Anyway, doubt Retro will be on it, I wouldn't mind seeing another 3rd person game, with greater emphasis on mobility like in Other M. They did the story thing to explore her, they don't need to do another, so the game world can be more "open"

that is a really good question actually.

I like the series in first person and I liked the pointer shooting in Corruption. I would like to see the wiimote and nunchuck setup with some non essential stuff tied to the tablet screen. I could see having a map screen on there with the option to roll through some different menus.

I definitely don't want her next mission to be a co-op one

full 3rd person action adventure...ever since playing Other M - you know the pointless third person view slow walking bit from point A to B.

they can do this for Disaster: Day of Crisis 2 too (if there was gonna be one)

I know I am a bit late to the party because I just finished Other M but I am wondering what you hated so much about the story? I never played the Prime games so I do not know if I missed something but this game seemed like a love letter to fans of the original Metroid and Super Metroid. Was it just the characterization or the storyline itself?

Euaggelistes

I just beat Other M last night and I thought it was a strong point for the series. I don't get the hate for the game either. I thought some parts in Other M the voice acting could have used... a little more acting instead of talking, but the gameplay was solid, and so was the story. Since the game was based on Samus character and her past, I could understand why she had to depend on Adam so much for most of the game. I hope they come out with a similar title to Other M for the next game. I did hate how Samus last name was pronounced though haha. I kind of say it like Are-An, but in the game is was said like Aaron.

I think it'll be kind of like Other M with more cIassic Metroid elements and sport a different art styIe.

I'd love something like this:

OR

(I think this 2nd picture would also make a nice 3DS game)

And the Wii U's controller could be used for things like scanning enemies and objects, first person puzzles (The TV screen would still be in 3rd-person/2D), mini map... etc etc.

I imagine they will go the Other M rout again.

Metroid HD should have the following.

Be like Metroid Prime 1,2,3.

Have 2 player Co-op for Campaign. (Online or local)

Have Multiplayer and GOOD multplayer. (Let me go into detail)

Nintendo could make Metroid HD there (Halo, or COD) What they could do is for example like Halos Team Slayer playlist could be in Metroid HD where you are on a Team of 4 and your all Bounty Hunters like Metroid Prime Hunters. Make it so you can level up and unlock stuff to customiz your character and its a win win.

A theater mode.

Custom games aswell to play with friends.

Metroid Fusion i_i

I would imagine they will go with a similar Other M or the classic Metroid style with full 3D HD graphics. It would be pretty neat. The FPS games were good but I don't think the next game should be in FPS view.

Main Reason: FPS games have dominated this generation and has become pretty boring and repetitive.

Metroid Fusion i_i

killerneub

Agreed. I want Fusion 2. If I got a 2D sequel to fusion, that alone would be enough for me to get the console. I love Super Metroid too, but Fusion was definitely my favorite. Also I really want it complete 2D. Not 2.5D like other M.

I want a classic Metroid on 3DS :D and I really wish for a new Prime on Wii-U with HD graphics :( simomate

*nods* It's like Snake said in SSBB. "Underneath that cold, hard exterior beats the heart of a woman." ...or something like that. :P Samus' up-bringing wasn't exactly glamorous, and while her training under the Chozo (something I wish Other M would have touched on) and the Federation gave her considerable combative skill, it's unrealistic to expect her to be this totally emotionless woman. In that sense, I actually liked how Samus' character was developed in Other M, as it kept her from being just like all of the other dime-a-dozen soldiers/space marines/killers out there, while still giving her a persona that many have been wanting for all of these years. Her personal struggles only me me appreciate her more, to be honest.

Now, as for the future of Metroid, I can't really say. Given the lack of success from the series of late, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Nintendo truly did put the series on a temporary hiatus. The other side of me suggests that even knowing how much the series has struggled to remain relevant of late, Nintendo will want to put the Wii U's hardware to use as an attempt to revitalize the franchise's appeal. However, with the series being in the hands of other developers recently, it very possible that it could go silent much like some of Nintendo's other franchises have been known to do the past few gens. Do you risk putting the series in the hands of yet another developer, or do you invest significant time and money that could go into other games and get your own top talent to work exclusively on the new installment? These are the questions that Nintendo has to face, with no guarntee that the result will turn out worthwhile in the end.

That artwork is awesome. A cellshaded 2D metroid would be really cool.

After the disappointing sales of Other M, I seem to recall some mention of the series going back into hibernation for a while. Depending on just how long that hibernation is, the series could possibly skip the Wii U altogether.
