Metroid Prime 4

Undoubtedly, I believe that Metroid Prime (and its lesser known sequel Metroid Prime 2) are among the greatest games ever created. The first person immersion is immaculate, the level design demonstrates a cohesiveness that has never since been replicated, the music and sound effects are both simply chilling, the graphics are timeless, and the gameplay structure and controls are spot on perfect. Moreover, the game's excellent, non traditional method of storytelling without breaking you out of the game is genius too.

Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 were incredible games, true blue hardcore games, that from Nintendo were a statement of intent that they too could make incredible hardcore games if they wanted too. Whereas Prime 3 was a bit of a disappointment, I still long for a Retro Studios developed Metroid Prime 4. Maybe one as a launch title for the Wii U? It certainly would sell an incredible amount of systems (remember that Prime was one of the highest selling games on the Gamecube), and it might be the only thing that can revive Metroid after last year's attrocious Other M destroyed everything about it that we hold dear.

What do you guys think?

I'd rather have Team Ninja make another one. Other M's faults were largely not their fault.

I got excited and thought Ninty announced a Metroid Prime 4 or something. :[

I would like to see Retro put to work on a side scrolling successor to Super Metroid, recapture that atmosphere and slower more rewarding pace with epic boss fights and make things like wall jumping require practice again. Its never gonna happen :(.

Come on man, I came in here thinking there was a Metroid Prime 4 lauhing with the Wii U :( :P

Honestly, no. I think at this point it is pretty apparent that Metroid can either be a great 3D first person shoo- thing, or a sidescrolling 2D action adventure. It can't be a good 3D third person action game, it just doesn't seem to work. charizard1605

Frankly, Other M, shows off Samus as the badass bounty hunter she is supposed to be in terms of combat efficiency. I love the Metroid Prime games, they're great, but when you think about not only the lore and the abilities that Samus has, she's not the walking tank that they always make her out to be. Heck, even in Super Smash Bros. she's more agile and jumps high, flips in the air, sweep kicks her enemies before blasting them in the face with a full charged shot like we'd imagine.

Metroid Prime games are great in getting in Samus's head, understanding the world like she see's it, and giving us that epic sense of exploration, however Other M shows Samus the way she's meant to be. Samus jumps, dodges, kicks, takes down enemies and blasts them with a full shot of plasma before moving on. If they could let Team Ninja refine the combat, I would love to play the game again. It could work, Other M showed us a possibilty that shouldn't be ignored I think.

Make an FPS Metroid for Wii U, but first I'd like another sidescroller.

The tank-control method works great for exploration... but Team Ninja nailed the combat (to a lesser extent the platforming) of how I expect Samus, an extremely agile and strong protagonist to behave. The Metroid Prime games might be unmatched in terms of atmosphere... but that largely comes from Retro's talent and the perspective (first person will always be more immersive). If Retro were to take the combat from Other M (minus the first person stuff) and integrate it into a first person adventure, I'd be all over it.foxhound_fox

What's the "metriod dread" i keep hearing about? where you guys heard that?Enforcedspot

Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time. Definitely want to see another entry in the franchise.

I've been dying to see another sidescroller on the 3DS for some time, but no dice. I loved the Prime series (the first being my favorite title, ever) but I now actually think another Other M-ish action title is a good change. Lose the horrific story and acting, keep the action, bring back some of the staple exploration and platforming, and tighten up the control scheme. Then we're talking.

Not that I would complain about another entry in the Prime series though.

Metroid Prime 4 is not happening in the near future. The next Metroid they make will be a sidescroller, either by Retro, or some Nintendo partner like Good-Feel or Next Level. Metroid is going to be relegated to a Kirby/Donkey Kong-level franchise for at least the next few years.

I know this because my uncle works at Wii.

The Metroid Prime games are among the best ever made. I'd love to see more of them.

Well, that's why I think they will do a 2D game, because they want to give Metroid one more chance to be profitable and making a relatively low-budget, nostalgia-charged sidescroller is their best shot.

DarkLink77

HELL NO! Other M was a very enjoyable game, but it had so many problems, most of which were their fault. I dont want to kick all the enmies in the face and dodge every bullet with ease, its not fun. Metroid should be about exploration and puzzles with a bit of platforming and shooting. Metroid has not been as good this gen, especially Prime 3. Prime 1, 2, and Super Metroid are the three best ones to this day.

Metroid: Other M 2.....i want to see a new metroid game like this.

No, I honestly just want Retro to keep making different things. THey've already made 3 metroid games already, I think thats enough. If they keep doing it for too long the series will really start to stagnate.

Nah, the first metroid prime was the only good one in my opinion.

Any new Metroid game with that art style it will be awesome........maybe a game after Metroid Fusion.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Now that would actually be great. But that wouldn't be Other M 2, it would be a Super Metroid 2. And I'm okay with that.
