Hell be revealed along with a playable boss mode for the Wii U version.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints it will turn out some bosses remained non-playable. Like Ridley

Sorry to go all the way back to an earlier conversation, but wasn't Metroid: Other M made non-canon when it was announced? That's the reason it was called Other M, it's an alternate universe story. At least, that's the way it was sold when it was first announced.

I don't remember this being said at all. The title is also derived from (Other M spoilers)

Spoiler

The fact that they made a duplicate Mother Brain AI.

Also it's the laziest anagram of "Mother" ever.

Didn't Sakamoto say the entire Metroid Prime Trilogy was non-canon?

Nope. Full canon and it retconed the Prime games.

Don't worry, Higgs is canon but the three masterpieces known as the Metroid Prime Trilogy are not

Snake! What are you doing to Chico?

 

[Red Arremer]

Oh man, the Green Garden theme from Bomberman 64. Pure joy!

How can you bring up Bomberman 64 music and fail to mention Blue Resort and Black City? Not to mention the Altair Battles?

 

[Lunar15]

The CG stuff for this game has been so amazing. I want them to do an intro with all of the characters so badly!

 

[Caladrius]

Didn't Sakamoto say the entire Metroid Prime Trilogy was non-canon?

He said he didn't factor it in when making the game, so as said up above they were essentially retconned.

Anthony Higgs must die for Adam's sins.

Humanity has no salvation otherwise.

We all wish, but unfortunately that's not how it is. It directly follows on from Super Metroid, and leads in to Fusion. There's no excuse for how it turned out.

 

[Nia]

In a perfect world, we would have Anthony Higgs and the Metroid Prime trilogy canon.

 

[Lunar15]

It should have been an alternate universe. Other M has the exact same plot line as Fusion, to the point that Samus should have been immediately aware of what was going in Fusion instead of being shocked.

It's like he didn't even look back to read what he even wrote for Fusion when he wrote Other M. Don't even get me started on the fact that Other M practically throws the Chozo out the window.

haha, that would be pretty funny if it were true!

...it's not really true, is it?

He said he didn't factor it in when making the game, so as said up above they were essentially retconned.

Damn. Now the conversation we were having earlier today about all the Prime series' lore seems like a total waste.

I will pay One Million Space Bucks* for fan art of Lucina clutching Handsomedorf's waist as he rides Xerneas into battle and Fierce Deity Saria flies at their side

* Space bucks are fictitious currency used in Neiteio Land and do not function as legal tender in the Real World

I swear, you were a little weird in a funny way before Lucina's reveal, but you're scaring me these days Neiteio

Im actually somewhat serious

 

[Zubz]

Guys, I found the next new character of Smash Brothers.

My heart... It hurts. I'd gladly ditch Snake for some sweet, sweet Bomberman love in Smash 4. He makes more sense for an explosive-themed fighter, anyway!

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Damn. Now the conversation we were having earlier today about all the Prime series' lore seems like a total waste.

Just pray that Retro gets to work on the series again and it could be the only Metroid lore that matters, canon or not.

At this point I ignore what some developers say. Sakamoto nope. Beginning to ignore Aonuma as well.
At least Sakurai is funny when he trolls on occasion. When Aonuma does it, it hurts.

Aonuma has to deal with arguably the most divided (in number of divisions especially) fanbase for video games that exists

Everyone has their own opinion on what Zelda is

I think he has a right to troll us sometimes

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Oh man, commercials are being aired now in Japan... the hype is real. We're so close.

I wasn't actually. Perhaps I went about my post in the wrong way as well. It's not the discussion about movesets being broken down that irked me, it's the discussions about the definitive placement of characters and balance. And since I know you'll be reading this, let me tell you now that I'm a fan of the channel.

A ten page discussion about why Mega Man isn't crap, or the potential of his moveset, or how he stacks up in the current build is entirely different than "BLANK character is middle tier, BLANK character is the best in the game". Those definitive placements are so arbitrary, and will continue to be so for years after the game is out.

Yep, I hear you. Totally agree. And thanks for watching and supporting our channel!

Quick off-topic question: what's SmashGAF's opinion of Kirby Triple Deluxe?

 

[nerdbot]

I will probably shed actual tears if they do an intro for Smash 4 on the same level as Melee's but with all the new characters we've since been introduced to. I am not afraid to admit what a blubbering emotional fanboy I am.

Melee's intro still kind of gives me chills. It's the perfect introduction for a game like that.

We need Hudson game music appreciation thread.They had quality music in a lot of their games.Different series come to mind like bloody roar , Bomberman , Mario party , Pokemon Tcg 1+2 Gbc and etc.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Nope. Full canon and it retconed the Prime games.

It's not even canon with any of the other games in the series. It contradicts stuff from other games, including how the suit works which would make Fusion impossible to happen.

Hmmm, I remember something earlier than this, but this was the earliest interview I could find with Sakamoto. here

Retro obviously produced the Metroid Prime series; very successful, very influential. Do you consider this a reboot of the series after Metroid Prime? Is this the direction for future Metroids or just another direction?

The games that I've been involved with in the Metroid series have been on the NES, GameBoy, Super NES and the GBA. I actually didn't have a lot of input on the Prime series. But when they're doing with Other M here, it's not so much a different universe, it's just a different part of the story. You can't say that there's no relation here; it's probably best to think of them as being in parallel in this world.

[nerdbot]

Quick off-topic question: what's SmashGAF's opinion of Kirby Triple Deluxe?

It's like Return to Dreamland, it's more of the same, slightly watered down for the sake of portability. It's GOOD but I didn't get the same enjoyment out of Return to Dreamland. It has a big problem where most of its bosses just sit around in the background firing off attacks where you can't hit them and it makes things really tedious at times. The Hypernova gimmick is pretty good, some of the later stages drag on a little, the new abilities feel kind of weak and uninspired. But it's gorgeous, cute and fun, it's still great Kirby, but it's just a little weaker than RTD.

 

[GreenLiquid]

Quick off-topic question: what's SmashGAF's opinion of Kirby Triple Deluxe?

I can't speak for everyone but it's in my top 3 Kirby games of all time. Maybe it's a bit short, being a 3DS game, but I had a blast for just about every second I played it.

And as you probably already know the final boss stage/theme/battle is amazing even by Kirby standards. Here's to Smash 4 representation!

 

[Beelzebufo]

I feel like I'm missing something here. What happened with Aonuma?

Think that was just referring to the whole "is Link a girl? Maybe! Maybe it's not even Link!"

"No he's just Link" thing.

Ahh, okay. I was just making sure I didn't miss out on any Zelda news while I was F5ing this thread the last couple weeks.

Nah. I think it's always worthwhile to think about things in a self-contained context.

Quick off-topic question: what's SmashGAF's opinion of Kirby Triple Deluxe?

Solid game, nice Final Boss

Could have been longer and had a few more elaborate levels, though. It felt simplistic even by Kirby standards.

Hmmm, I remember something earlier than this, but this was the earliest interview I could find with Sakamoto. here

Interesting. This means The Retro team is probably free to ignore it.

 

[-Horizon-]

I feel like I'm missing something here. What happened with Aonuma?

Aonuma was walking around and said he was surprised when he heard how many people thought the character in the trailer was a girl but he wouldn't respond as to who the character actually was and acted all mysterious and secretive. At that point Internet gonna Internet and speculation was rampant. We got female Link or its actually Zelda or its a new character altogether. A couple of thread arguments happened here on gaf.
Probably a day later, an interview with him came out saying that that character in the trailer was Link and that what happened the day before was essentially a misunderstanding.

 

[GreenLiquid]

I forgot, though... it's not a true Kirby game because it doesn't have a

Spoiler

shmup segment

. But it's great even for a Kirby spin-off!

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I feel like I'm missing something here. What happened with Aonuma?

Aonuma when questioned about the gender of Link jokingly said "who said that was Link?" And then laughs afterwards. The story gets told missing the joking manner until everyone takes as what he said literally. Then a few days later in another interview he says that Link is a boy and was the person featured in the trailer. It wasn't really trolling. Sakurai trolls but I think Aonuma is afraid to troll the Zelda fanbase.
