From a Official Nintendo Magazine interview with Intelligent Systems about the differences between Advance Wars and Fire Emblem via Siliconera, we got this little tidbit:

Even though Days of Ruin was good I want to see the return of the original cast..
Intelligent Systems has been doing a lot lately, but I really need a new Advance Wars.

So how would you guys feel if a new Metroid game (on Wii U) looked like this?

Yes please! Fantastic.

Iron Woman? :lol

I like it!

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

I really hope the rumior of Retro's new game being a brand new IP are true. Nintendo desperately needs new IPs.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I will be on a greyhound bus in the middle of north western texas while this goes on. I am so sad i didnt think ahead when i bought those tickets.

I guess the better question is, do you guys think Wii U could pull that off?

How about more like this...

 

[roddur]

Vanquish 2, please. GAF will crash.

not to be a party pooper, this is another game that'll not sell well.

 

[RagnarokX]

Iron Woman? :lol

Sounds like someone hasn't played Metroid Prime 3.

 

[Kouriozan]

I've played it but it looks so shiny. I guess I'm not accustomed to hyperdetailed HD graphics. (Hence the :lol)

 

[Volotaire]

You love that mockup don't you

 

[Kacho]

The thought if Retro working on a new IP is great and all but we need a new Metroid. Other M left a bad taste in my mouth and my paler needs cleansing.

10 days!

Metroid is in the chest again. Don't expect to see Samus again until 2014/15 That 4-5 years break will give Nintnedo to bring it back in the spotlight again , whether it is 3DS or Wii U.

Awwww, Ok.

Last year was the 10th anniversary of Prime, too. Would have been a perfect launch title.

It would be smart of them to announce and show new Metroid game since there hasn't been a 2D Metroid Since Zero Mission (2006 right?). If Nintendo really wants the hardcore to buy the consoles that is...

Who knows I could be utterly wrong. But I have a feeling after Other M's disappointing reception , haven't played it yet btw in my backlog, and Reggie's sentiments about it in 2010 it won't be back this year.

2010 was when it realesed, and conveniently when Retro would probably start concepting/developing their Wii U game. After that reception, it makes sense for them thinking to let Samus have a break.

Fils-Aime said the game is "getting close to half a million" copies sold in the U.S. That's no flop, but it's also not a blockbuster. I pushed him on the portrayal of Samus since that's the loudest criticism I've seen of the game. The graphics were very good, the gameplay was a throwback to earlier Metroid games. But Samus, some people just couldn't stand how she was portrayed and complained about it here in Kotaku's comments as well as in reviews in other outlets.

"First off, [I have] nothing but the greatest respect for the development team," Fils-Aime said. "Mr. Sakamoto [co-creator of Metoid] did a wonderful job. His partnership with us in promoting the game was stellar. Team Ninja [is] absolutely fabulous. I'm not going to sit here and criticize a style of the game, but have I read the same feedback that said, broadly, that the portrayal of Samus felt different than how the player in the past had internalized the character? I've heard and read the same feedback. Do I think it's warranted or not? I'm not quite sure yet... I don't yet believe that that is the driving factor to the performance of the game."

What if Platinum make Vanquish 2 and it is Metroid prequel?

Metroid is not a system seller by any means.
Actually, it should be saved till 2014-15 like Volotaire said. The game is niche enough already. The last thing it needs are abysmal sales from a niche console (right now).

At lease wait till the fansbase is big enough to justify a game like Metroid.

Everything you're saying makes sense, I suppose. They have to save something for later in the console's life.

But damnit, I want a Metroid game. A really, really good one.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

So I did some shameless stealing:

 

[Kacho]

Who knows I could be utterly wrong. But I have a feeling after Other M's disappointing reception , haven't played it yet btw in my backlog, and Reggie's sentiments about it in 2010.

Definitely play it, dude. The game isn't completely terrible. It just doesn't hold a candle to the truly great Metroid games, which is a shame.

The biggest two knocks I have against it are some "WTF were they thinking?!" design choices and an absolutely dreadful story. No pun.

I remember that Reggie interview and I was so bummed out at the time knowing that it could be a while before we see another (great) Metroid game.

Thankfully E3 is just days away...

 

[Sylverstone14]

Dat Bayonetta poster.

Let's hope to see some action from Platinum Games!

 

[Roo]

You're not the only one, my friend. Not the only one :C

 

[evilromero]

How about Metroid x Vanquish

Keep this damn Vanquish nonsense out of my Metroid. Seriously, if people thing GAF would crash over a niche title like Vanquish they need to pull up a seat.

 

[JStein0222]

I've been off the Nintendo Wagon for about 2 years now but there's something coming...you can feel it. A storm is brewing. Really excited for this direct aaahhh all of the hype

 

[epmode]

Is there any chance that we'll see Dragon Quest 7 3DS? You know, if Nintendo decides to publish it because Square is worthless.

 

[Vampirolol]

The Crooner and the Fantabulous Chickenductor.

 

[Instro]

So how would you guys feel if a new Metroid game (on Wii U) looked like this?


I guess the better question is, do you guys think Wii U could pull that off?

Don't like the suit design or coloring.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

The Nintendo 3DS is undoubtedly the best canvas for a new Metroid game right now. It would be quite opportune for Sakamoto and his traditional Metroid team to deliver a pertinent chapter in the classic Metroid saga.

I really hope this Nintendo Direct is the opposite of what I am expecting. We shall see those cards soon enough.

 

[JazzmanZ]

it's been 7 years since we had a E3 where Nintendo revealed both a new mario and smash bros in the same one, we may know the majority of the games being shown, but those new ones are going to be great.

 

[skull kid]

What if Platinum make Vanquish 2 and it is Metroid prequel?

to me Metroid needs less action and more isolation to feel like Metroid..platinum should make a mach rider reboot and treasure should make starfox 64 2

 

[Chet Rippo]

So how would you guys feel if a new Metroid game (on Wii U) looked like this?

I don't like the grime and grittiness added to it. I like the clean look of Samus despite where she is.

 

[Kacho]

Is there any chance that we'll see Dragon Quest 7 3DS? You know, if Nintendo decides to publish it because Square is worthless.

I think it is very likely, especially since Nintendo is publishing Bravely Default in the west.

 

[enigmaxtreme316]

Lets see, they will probably open up with what we has already been confirmed so either Smash Bros, Mario Kart or Mario U. My money is on Smash Bros being shown first much like how Skyward Sword opened up 2010. Most likely we will then either hand over to Platinum Games for Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 or maybe Sega to show off Lost World, then maybe show a trailer for Pikmin 3, we will most likely get a bit more information on X and Shin Megami Tensai Cross Fire Emblem right before or right after the half way point which will show us Mario Kart U and a release date. As for the ending what will start is the trailer for Mario U and ending the direct will be the title from Retro Studios.

Yet I've heard Pokemon is getting a 90 MINUTE Direct

Hey we could be getting mini directs for other games, who knows at this point.

I do think the Pokemon length is ridiculous though.

Well they gotta have some time for Pokemon Snap U in the Pokemon Direct.

Those were the days.

wow

 

[Blood Diamonds]

So is this the official Nintendo E3 Thread?

Spoiler

I would be glad to make one since it's not so far away anymore...

To this day I can't figure out why people have such fond memories of that game. Oh wells.

 

[BY2K]

I will be making a thread where all the E3 Info, trailers, interviews, demos, etc by Nintendo will be. Like a Recap Thread of sort.
