^^Fuse doesn't have the experience or knowledge to develop a full action adventure. Nitnendo doesn't dicate what Fuse makes, Fuse gets to decide. Nintendo simply lets them use their license and pusblishes the agme for them.

Plus, a budget for this type of game would be small, so even selling only a small amount of games being sold will net a profit.

Seriously, how many Pinball spinoffs can they do? And how many people still play pinball for hours on end these days?

Oh, Link in Soul Calibur II was/is awesome, even though I don't use him.

As JamesFP once said on how to make Zelda better: Give it a rest and make another Startropics game already!

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

^^Give me a roll of quarters & I'll hog the pinball table all day.

Heh. I thought this topic would be about Paris Hilton playing Samus in the movie.

Koga · 05-27-2005, 04:57 AM

Nah, there already was a topic about that a while ago in the movie forum.

Glyph Phoenix · 06-02-2005, 03:32 PM

Argh. Nintendo likes to fail. I just don't see any other reason.

It's ridiculous. They're totally abusing the Metroid license. I mean, just because Nintendo owns Mario you don't see them making titles like Mario Baseball or Mario DDR, right?

Right?

Oh, crap...

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 06-02-2005, 05:20 PM

^Now now, the Mario DDR may turn out good.

Can't say the same with the Baseball....or the Basketball one, either.

thunt · 06-02-2005, 07:12 PM

^Or soccer?

DELICIOUS POISON · 06-03-2005, 08:58 AM

Fact is, it might be a fun game. But with a "Metroid" twist? I don't think so. Anyone who's a really involved fan will likely see it as a pinball game stealing the Metroid image. I'm not going to go out and buy ****ing Samus plushies, though I love the series.

Except that if this game makes a profit, then Nintendo won't learn from their obvious mistake and continue to screw up, so instead of cleaning up that garbage spill that's the DS's gaming library, they'll only make it bigger while making occasional attempts to clean it up.

Oh, crap...

exactly, but not all spin-offs are bad:

Tetris Attack was a great game, even though it got almost no attention...then Nintendo gives it a Pokémon makeover and everyone plays it. I have played the SNES and GB versions of TA and both PKMN Puzzle Challenge and PKMN Puzzle League, and they are all good games, albeit almost exactly the same aside from graphics and characters. And just so a debate don't start, I know that Tetris Attack was a Yoshi makeover of Panel De Pon in Japan, which was also a great game.

Mario Kart. The major spin-off franchise from Mario is just that, a spin-off that grew to something great.

Although it is a full game, Zelda: The Minish Cap is a prequal to a series of spin-offs, hence a spin-off of the actual time and storyline.

As you can see, other series of games have had thier share of lime light, spin-offs, and reprecussions (Mario Parties), but that don't mean that all spin-offs are bad. I think that we shoud give it a chance because you get to destroy metroids and space pirates...

DELICIOUS POISON · 06-06-2005, 09:35 PM

Oh, come on. Mario Kart is doable. The mario universe is retarded, and the characters have feet to push the pedals with.

Samus is a good addition to the Smash Bros. series (OoC: I'm really irritated that the Smash Bros. forum is in the Mario section of VGF)..

But she is not a pinball. That is disrespectul to the only entirely-serious game series Nintendo has ever made.

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-06-2005, 09:41 PM

Dai Grepher · 06-11-2005, 05:47 PM

Up next, Metroid Bowling.

I hear Metroid Pinball is going to be Metroid Prime's remake.

thunt · 06-11-2005, 10:57 PM

^You ARE kidding this time, right?

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 06-12-2005, 05:19 AM

I'm hoping that Metroid Pinball doesn't have a story. No point, really, unless you really want to **** up the story line.

Codiekitty · 06-12-2005, 12:52 PM

^^ It's Dai Grepher. Of course he's not.

Doesn't mean he's right, though.
