I approve of this thread.

EDIT: And I just realized how old this thread is.

 

[Thorakai]

I should play Metroid Prime again!

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Wow, I didn't realise so many people missed this thread first time round - I posted it a year ago!

If you liked it, click on the links in the OP to look at the Metroid Prime 2/3/other content - there's a lot of stuff in there!

 

[MrT-Tar]

I read this thread last year, but I just want to say that this is actually the best thread on gaf.

Spoiler

yes, even better than the FFXIII multiplat or 'Betrayonetta' ones

Keep up the good work

 

[Htown]

that unused opening monologue from Prime looks like it made an appearance in Smash Bros Brawl's remix of the Prime main theme in an altered form

[Zen_Arcade]

Great OP.

That Kraid art is fantastic.

 

[damaph]

Wow, I never realized how much stuff was cut from Metroid Prime. Great post.

 

[FreedomFighter]

I think this is the best thread I've ever had the pleasure of clicking on.

 

[Ein Bear]

I love you, Mama Robotnik. Metroid Prime is still my favourite game ever made.

 

[VXLbeast]

Why haven't I seen this before? This is incredible. Mama Robotnic, how are you even so good?

 

[JJD]

Have you ever uncovered anything about Metroid Dread?

 

[Toa TAK]

Holy God, this is a beautiful thread. All of this unused content. Mother Brain, Kraid, and the Flying Insect would've been awesome to see in the game. I could see why some of it was cut though, as some of it is unnecessary.

And man, that is some rough UI they had there at the start.

 

[AntMurda]

Have you ever uncovered anything about Metroid Dread?

That's a Japanese Sakamoto project. You would have to get past Satan himself to uncover an NCL project.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I approve of this thread.

EDIT: And I just realized how old this thread is.

Me too. Can't believe I missed it the first time around.

 

[NihonTiger90]

The unused Metroid Prime intro that's in GIF form is giving me Batman Beyond intro vibes.

 

[Deku Tree]

I love MP.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

A bump to add the following new discoveries:

and this is why I love you.

 

[PK Gaming]

i'm always saddened by the "what could have been's"

 

[HoJu]

Hey Mama, did you dig anything up on DKCR during your investigation?

 

[The Hermit]

I read some interview of the original director of Prime how he always though that his games were garbage and that they all had a lot of wasted potential.

I understand him now.

EDIT: lol I knew I read a similar thread before, but though it was a new. its 15/4/12

 

[Ein Bear]

I hope you guys are happy. By bumping this thread, you've made me have to do a full Metroid Prime Trilogy playthrough.

 

[ChaosXVI]

I remember seeing this thread linked on the Metroid Database around this time last year, its actually what drew me to NeoGAF and I've been scanning through this place ever since...

I truly hope that Retro still has the talent to put out a new Metroid, I hate pandering/excessive fan service (see Other M's bosses), but...I do want to see Retro create a 3D Kraid battle, very badly...Along with a few of these other concepts.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Amazing to see this stuff...

 

[MysticX]

man, this makes me wanna pop up Metroid Prime on the Pc in full hd mode! GAWD!

 

[DaBoss]

I read this thread before I became a member and man was it good. Thank you for posting this. Metroid Prime and 2 are part of my GOAT list.

[Face it Tiger..]

I wish a 3rd party would clone Metroid. I know it's contrived to say that.. but I'd really like a Metroid on my PS consoles.

 

[katkombat]

Wow, the timing! I just fixed the mIOS on my wii so I can play retail disks again (instead of installing them) and started this game up! Awesome so far. (I played to phendrana drifts (is that the name) back when I was like ten, then beat the final boss on my brothers profile haha) it really is a phenomenal game like everyone says.

I should play it on my dad's PC....

 

[Ghazi]

Mad props for this, took me a whole half hour to get through all of it and I enjoyed it. Thanks!

 

[javac]

I read this thread extensively when it was posted and loved every second of it. So thanks for bumping this thread so I would remember to thank you Mama Robo! Love your threads including your Legacy of kain threads!

Awww...I just want an old school 2D or 3D hybrid Metroid...

Just bought a 3DS, make me happy Nintendo!!! I'll gladly buy a WiiU for any Metroid game.

 

[FlyFaster]

This was a great read. Excellent job OP!

Makes me want a new metroid even more.

 

[Gin]

Metroid Hystoria
By Mama Robotnik the Dark Horse.

 

[Vidpixel]

Ahh, Metroid Prime. Such a beautifully made game.

 

[Übermatik]

Man, those menus are AWESOME. Gets me so excited for E3...

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Very cool to see this thread pop up again. It reminded me of a piece of concept art in one of the game's galleries that I've wondered about.

In the bottom right corner here, we have what appears to be Samus using her arm cannon as a drill, her boosters spewing massive jets behind her. I can't make out all of the labels, but the one on the jets looks like "Samus using Boosting to" and the dust kicked up by her left hand is just "Dust." The shape that dust is making seems to imply that she's moving backward despite the force of those jets; is she fighting against something? Anyway, the arm cannon drill concept sounds interesting, I wonder if that's really what this is and whether it'll ever appear in a future game.

 

[anotherVegan]

The world needs more sidescrolling Metroid. Preferrably portable. Gotta get that Other M taste out of our mouths.

 

[Jezan]

Those unused menus look awesome, maybe not fitting the Prime atmosphere, but cool nonetheless!

 

[Big_Al]

Love your threads Mama Robotnik Some fantastic research done there.

 

[hgarrett54]

Wow this stuff is amazing. Thank you, OP!

 

[VARIA]

The things I miss the most that were omitted are Mother Brain & Kraid.

Having them in Metroid Prime would've elevated the game past Super Metroid in my eyes.

 

[Ricky 7]

Amazing thread. Thanks for making it. Metroid Prime literally is one of the best games ever created.

 

[Coolwhip]

Great thread. It would be a crime if Retro isnt working on another Metroid Prime.

 

[blu]

Kudos to Mama Robotnik.

 

[flattie]

Truly brilliant, OP.

 

[gravitybear]

all I have to say is wow.
