This month has actually flown by for me. Every time I look at the calendar it seems another week has gone by. E3 is coming up fast! Next week should be great around here also, what with the gif's already starting and e3 bear is bound to show his face again with the new crate photos that are likely to show up next week as well!

Pikmin in the Metroidverse would be amazing. Fanfic time:
The opening cinematic explains how a tiny meteor hit Samus's ship and caused it to crash land on a planet. Naturally, Samus loses all her equipment.
But it wasn't a tiny meteor. It was Olimar's ship. Olimar also crash lands on the planet. He starts (as microscopic as ever) collecting all of Samus's gear himself because he wants to pawn it off back on Hocotate!
I got chiiiills, they're multiplyin'

Think about this.
If the infinite universe theory is correct, there is a universe where we co-exist with the Nintendo universe.
Can you handle this?

He mentioned it in the last thread, and another person said they knew someone that liked it better than UE3.
Thanks as I've been trying to remember who did that for the last couple days.
How much longer till you lose control?
only if sonic is apart of it. he may as well be.

There's one for that too. There's also one where Godzilla is in the place of Mario.

Moving us to community will not stop Armageddon.
E3 will hit, and speculation will turn to fact.
Back on the front page and stickied.
Can't fuck with us.
Thats this world, and the Nintendo Universe is the games we play....
I WAS TRANSPORTED, TO A FAR AWAY LAND AND TO A WORLD WERE MUSHROOMS RULE
I PLAYED THE GAME LIKE AN ACE
NOW WE'RE IN THIS PLACE
TO SAVE NINTENDO FROM THE EVIL....
wait, that took place inside a PSOne...nvm
Where is this comment again?
They could do a Kingdom Hearts type thing. Mario, Yoshi, DK are all one one planet. Hyrule is its own planet/realm. Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, Pikmin, and F-Zero are all in space. Fire Emblem is its own planet. Pokemon is its own planet. Kid Icarus. blah blah. You have a space-traveling threat and use one or more of the space-traveling Nintendo franchise to connect the ones that don't space travel. Top it off with an amnesia ending.

Honestly, I think if tone is what's really important than ZeldaXMetroid would be your best bet since Link (certain incarnations of him anyway) and Samus are Nintendo's two most serious characters.
Here's my take on Star Fox x Metroid.
It's easier to make Star Fox fit in Metroid's world by making Star Fox more darker and grittier...than to make Metroid fit in Star Fox's world.
So if Retro Studios does this idea, expect changes to make Star Fox's tone darker and moodier to fit Metroid's tone and atmosphere.

Not sure if I can handle the fact that, in an alternate universe, I'm creating a Bubsy x Strider racing sim. Nope, I'll gladly be blissfully ignorant.
The only theory that lets me except that Ash was 10 when I was 9 and Now I'm about to be 23...
Call it Avengers hype, but I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Retro is working on multiple, "Fusion Saga" games involving Nintendo IPs.
They all lead into Smash Bros 4.
So basically Super Smash Bros Brawl.

This is boring. Someone intentionally leak something that's not boring.
Except it would be in the action/adventure genre instead of fighting.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
They're still worlds apart. They deal with completely different themes, lores, and concepts. They're built as very different universes.
If I absolutely had to pick the best mesh with Metroid, it would be as others have said: F-Zero. Simply because there's no really significant thematic inconsistencies between the two. Both are science fiction. Both exist in human filled universes with a strong alien presence. Both take themselves relatively seriously. Both, in art design, are more closely interchangeable than anything else.
Yeah. Stuff like Kingdom Hearts, and Smash Bros, exist in a "what if?" universe where the aim is to merge everything together, recklessly even, just to see what happens. A Nintendo All-Stars RPG style thing would work fine with this too, as the ideas is "ITS EVERYBODY! TOGETHER!", and therefore becomes it's own contained universe in a sense.

But Mario and Pikmin do, does that mean Retro is working on a Mario x Pikmin game?
I've got nothing worth mentioning about Nintendo, sorry.

"Knew" turned out to be the wrong word, but other than that the info is the same.

Okay, fair enough. Maybe it could still be a Metroid x F-Zero game. It makes sense, and fills that gap since GX. Everybody wins!

Well, we should get a preview of the next Nintendo Power issue within the next 24 hours that reveals what their "story of the generation" is.
Hopefully it is Wii-U related.
That's pretty much what I've been thinking all along. United to save the world against some strange enemy that threatens them all.
Nintendo needs to hire some writers to come-up with a good enough backstory so that they've all bumped into each other in some strange, maybe even unremarkable ways. But we'd groan at no matter what they produce if they were to attempt such a thing.

So you do have something.
I'm not quite sure I get the message here.
Everytime I see that teaser, I see a ship. Not some stupid stylised country.
Though its pretty obvious its Metro or something Russian.
Not if it's written correctly.
No. Just... just no.
I'd say an action RPG is something Nintendo is seriously looking at after the positive reception to Subspace Emissary.
Yup. Unless we're talking for the next SSB, it's already been done.

If it truly is the "story of the generation," it had better well be related to the U. It'd be a bit ridiculous if it weren't. Okay, a lot ridiculous.
So, Star Fox x Metroid is cool with you, but Nintendo x Disney goes too far?
Seriously??
Not worth mentioning, and not about anything Nintendo related. At all.

Sometimes fans of cartoon characters need to stop worrying about how tacky these things are.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit pulled viewers into a world where cartoons lived among real people. It was a good movie too!
Now that is sick.
(I found that the Stone Mask was pretty helpful, actually.)

Damn right it was. Bringing serious themes and critiques of urban design, transport policy, and politics.. coated by a candy shell of cartoon characters? Pretty damn nice.
