So, on Metroid: Platinum or FROM?

Besides atmosphere I'm really not sure what people expect from FROM. Retro's level design aces anything in the Bornesouls series anyway.

 

[TheFuzz]

WAIT.

I've been busy today. Metroid is coming? What have I missed?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Why does Metroid have to be from external source?


Metroid Dread
Yoshio Sakamoto
Nintendo
2D

If that would happen tonight..

 

[-Horizon-]

So, on Metroid: Platinum or FROM?

FROM wanted to do some sci-fi stuff right? There we go.

 

[PadWarrior]

Just that she's heard it's in development but not by Retro.

We've known that a 2D and 3D Metroid was in development about two years ago as revealed in an interview during E3. Whether the horrific Federation Forces was included in that is unknown...

"I don't know his sources but RE: Metroid @OBE1plays vid holds water. Metroid in Dev, not Retro developed."

Thanks!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Im at my desk at work just scrolling through this thread and listening to Nintendo music and smiled and said, "today is the day "

Getting too hype

 

[Munter]

Finalizing.

Good man/woman/bird creature

 

[JSevere]

it just hit me that this is finally happening tonight. the hype is real

serenade me Reggie

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I imagine the game would be filled with threads

 

[v1lla21]

I hope stores do a trade in deal for the wii u. That will pretty much be the only way I buy a switch on release.

 

[Compsiox]

I don't know why but I feel like we're going to be wrong about price.

 

[RootCause]

So, on Metroid: Platinum or FROM?

How about neither. Let it be from Nintendo.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Time to raze the earth for our new generation.

Would like to be excited, but bolded would make me very wary after what happened with Other M....

 

[Pinky]

I won't lie, an arcade-perfect port of SFII would be pretty lit. Maybe throw in SFIII:3S - Online Edition while you're at it, Capcom.

It's a shame that SFV is locked down to PS4 as far as consoles go. I'd love to get some lab time in on the go. Maybe MvCI could be Switch-bound.

Yes, please. I played the shit out of Third Strike on PS2. Would welcome it on Switch.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Twelve hours until death by hype

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Finalizing.

Its time Rosti.. Do the thing!

 

[Tehalemi]

Im at my desk at work just scrolling through this thread and listening to Nintendo music and smiled and said, "today is the day "

Getting too hype

 

[Dark Cloud]

generally one hour before the event. So in 11 hours.

No. Rosti is putting it up earlier.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Sony made a huge deal of ressurecting Windjammers on PS4 and PSVita (and they were fucking right to do so), what's the deal with a way more important title such as Street Fighter II ?

Your right. SFII is huge. Way bigger than Windjammers.

But it is not 1) A $60 game 2) replacement for Skyrim, Beyond Destiny, etc.

What it COULD BE: A sign of another avenue Nintendo could focus on: arcade games!!

What if the Switch was a multi focus machine that has a 1) traditional Nintendo focus (family fun for all ages) 2) esports 3) arcade game experiences. Like late 80's to late 90's arcade style games with either local or online multiplayer. Could be huge!!!! Quick on the go experiences. SFII, MKII, Cruisin, Soul Caliber. Imagine the possibilities. It could also be how Nintendo ties Switch to the nostalgia train.

 

[Majukun]

tomorrow i'm free..but i don't know if i'm gonna wake up for this..that being said last time i said "fuck it" to a late night conference was sony's e3 conference in 2015..and we all know how that went

 

[LiamR]

Is just me or you guys also think LKD is the master mind behind OBE1 swtichmas videos??

Nah. It's possible she gives him some stuff, but OBE1 didn't know about Metroid before I spoke to him (I didn't give him his info, just told him it existed a while ago).

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Can you preorder at GameStop online to pickup in store?

 

[Tom Nook]

Today is THE DAY.

 

[Dystify]

No. Rosti is putting it up earlier.

Mods may close it until 1 hour before the event. Doesn't matter since we still have this topic I guess.

 

[vgamer1]

less than 12 hours folks!!

 

[robotrock]

Any word on how long this event is gonna be?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

So, on Metroid: Platinum or FROM?

CD Projekt Red

 

[Oregano]

Yeah, who said it wasn't the case of SFII ?

The fact that it's the biggest game playable. Even if we were talking first six months there should be bigger games.

 

[PSFan]

I don't know why but I feel like we're going to be wrong about price.

I feel like this thread will be wrong about a lot more things than just the price.

 

[RM8]

Omg why does SF2 have to be Nintendo's answer for freaking Destiny. You guys are reaching.

Like Dhalsim

 

[FloweryMarston]

I want metroid to be designed like a metroid, not a souls game. I want souls on nintendo systems though.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Can you preorder at GameStop online to pickup in store?

No, youre not gonna get one if you do that. I dont even think gamestop lets you do that

 

[v1lla21]

Give me tmnt and the Simpsons and I'm there day 1.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nah. It's possible she gives him some stuff, but OBE1 didn't know about Metroid before I spoke to him (I didn't give him his info, just told him it existed a while ago).

He didn't have any info. All he said was its being developed. He could've used that from you.

 

[Rösti]

Mods may close it until 1 hour before the event. Doesn't matter since we still have this topic I guess.

I am expecting and vouching for the thread to be closed until an hour before the event begins.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Like Dhalsim

It doesn't. I hope it is extra icing on the cake is all.

 

[Vuze]

Which services will this be streamed on btw? Twitch I guess, but YT as well?

 

[GodfatherX]

I'm surprised to see so many people hyped for federation force hd

 

[Neoxon]

Ed Boon (from NRS, the team behind the Mortal Kombat & Injustice games) tweeted this about the Switch.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Can you preorder at GameStop online to pickup in store?

In the U.S., no. Online pre-orders are separate from in-store. Gamestop only lets you do in-store pickup for products that are released and in-stock. If you want it in-store, you've gotta hoof it to your nearest location and put money down.

Primarily because you don't "purchase" the item online via that method. It just sends a message to the store to put one aside if they have it.

I'm hoping and praying that my store will have units first thing tomorrow. I have all my money for Switch tied up in Gamestop credit.

Gonna have Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Gamestop Pages up and refreshing during the presentation.

The poll at the top of the thread.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

HYPE

 

[Neiteio]

IT'S CHRISTMAS!






...what do you mean I can't open my presents until 11 p.m. EST?!

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

So, when will you all be at your Gamestop tomorrow to preorder this thing? My GS opens at 10am , so I'll be at mine 8-9am.

I won't bother. I'll just pre-order on Best Buy's website and pick it up at the local store on release day.

 

[18-Volt]

So, on Metroid: Platinum or FROM?

It's a classic metroidvania game from VanillaWare. Dat Kamitani goodness.
