They should have just left it dead.

 

[JerkShep]

This is pathetic.

 

[DrArchon]

Nice that the brand isn't dead i guess.

I think I need a stiff drink...

 

[Reebot]

Rip in peace Metroid

 

[javie3d]

[Satch]

Fixed that for you.

you didnt quite do it correctly, let me help

RIP
1986-2007

 

[Fury451]

A Metroid four player co op shooter, and a Metroid ball game.

Our cups runneth over.

Lol

I guess the nicest thing I have to say about this is that Nintendo is always surprising if nothing else.

 

[Princess Carl]

What is that opening its hilarious.

Also, what is wrong with you people!

 

[Fourth Storm]

Clearly, Metroid Prime 4 is being saved for the NX home console in late 2016. Right?

 

[Cyborg]

Did Nintendo announce anything good?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

LMAOOO!

Leave it to Nintendo to stop the great momentum that this E3 had going.

 

[Kinsei]

Fuck off Nintendo. How could you possibly think Metroid fans wanted this?

 

[blue_phazon]

I'm on the verge of tears.

My favourite franchise reduced to this...

 

[Arkeband]

A Metroid game without Samus.

Yeah, that'll work.

Spoiler

no one asked for this

 

[Shiggy]

Did Nintendo announce anything good?

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival was probably their best announcement.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Chibi Ridley pls

 

[LDAF]

LMAOOO!

Leave it to Nintendo to stop the great momentum that this E3 had going.

Yeah, that definitely does suck. Everybody had a great show at minimum, then this happens.

 

[LaneDS]

In 45 minutes of disappointments, that might have been the one that stung the most.

(I guess Super Mario Maker looks rad, so subtract a few minutes from the above statement)

 

[pringles]

In sure your right but the point is that people want a traditional Metroidgame, whether it be in 2d or 3d. Of this were to be announced alongside another Metroid game, idbe fine with it. Its like really really wanting a pizza but you end up with chicken salad instead. Sure, its tasty but itsnot what you wanted.

....now im hungry

I feel the same way but at least it's a Metroid game, showing that the franchise isn't dead. They didn't show Retro's new game so I think there's a good chance Retro's working on Prime 4 but it's just not ready to be shown yet.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

That guy who said he thought that the blast ball game from yesterday was a secret Metroid game has been vindicated

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival was probably their best announcement.

And even then....

Jesus, today was terrible.

 

[Stone Ocean]

What the fuck is that thing

Is this a sequel to fucking Metroid Blast or what? What is Nintendo doing lol

 

[Anteo]

.

 

[ArchedThunder]

If this is what Nintendo thinks we want from Metroid I'd rather the series just die.
Seriously, what the fuck?

 

[Tomohawk]

God why would they make this the next metroid. I would have been happy with another sidescrolling metroid.

 

[levyjl1988]

Why couldn't we get Metroid Prime Hunters 2 3DS sequel.

That art style isn't very attractive.

 

[Hisoka]

Here you get Metroid. You never specified how you'd like it.

 

[Data West]

NOT SO UNGRATEFUL TO DK NOW ARE YA

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Time to grab the popcorn

 

[Kindekuma]

So this is how the series ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

 

[SkullHydra]

I'm torn between, "The Prime series isn't forgotten!" and, "If this flops, Nintendo might think Prime is a dead franchise.".

Well I'm just going to hope that the real Prime game got pushed to NX.

 

[hatchx]

I wish they didn't call this Metroid. It looks fun and half decent, but the Metroid (especially the Metroid 'Prime') tie-in is distasteful and not wanted at all.

Disappointing.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Did Nintendo announce anything good?

Starfox and a number of 3ds games, Mario tennis too .

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Did Nintendo announce anything good?

After all of the great stuff XB1 and PS4 gamers got, I can't help but feel bad for WiiU owners right now. I can't even...

Starfox looked cool though.

 

[nekomix]

I'll wait for more info. I had fun on MPH multiplayer, I'll wait.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Metroid D(r)ead. We were joking around on Skype while watching the video. This tiny space ship with little dudes inside pops up and I try trolling my friend by saying "Oh look, it's Metroid Prime!". Then the logo appears and we all cried. Joke's on me.

 

[MikeE21286]

Did not want

 

[SuperSah]

IT LOOKS ASS


I knew it

 

[Hero]

Who asked for this? Is anyone actually happy about this?

 

[10k]

They should have just left Metroid stay dead. Good god.

 

[Qurupeke]

It looked barely okay. Not what I'd expect from a Metroid. Instead of a proper 3D game or a Metroidvania we get this... Not so exciting.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I Dread we'll never get Prime 4.

 

[Nintendoga]

Metroid's big return.

Not like this...

 

[RedAssedApe]

[GitarooMan]

So clearly Retro is also working on a Metroid for NX and we'll see it next year, clearly.... This was the low point of the conference, by a good margin.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I can't tell which is worse: Metroid being homogenized into Nintendoy casual fun Mario Party bullshit or Fire Emblem turned into creepy anime waifu J-pop Amber Alert spunk.

 

[KingBroly]

It's made by Next Level Games.

I'm so disappointed and disgusted.

Metroid Is Dead.

 

[CronoShot]

Who thought this was a good idea.

 

[Sevyne]

I tried so hard over the years to hold onto hope for Metroid. It's my absolute favorite franchise of all time. It pains me so much to say it, but it's dead. I have to finally accept it. This game is just kicking us while we're already down eating dirt. I don't know what else to say...

Have fun showing 20 minutes of Mario, Nintendo. I'm done. I'm absolutely done. I give up.
