Another 2D Metroid?

***Cosmonautical*** · 06-29-2007, 03:39 AM

Well, my opinion is firmly that Nintendo needs to continue the series of 2D Metroid games. I was curious to see what you guys think. Is Nintendo overdue for another 2D game? Would you be interested?

Metal Man · 06-29-2007, 04:02 AM

Yes. The 2D ones are great, as are the 3D ones, and more of both would be even better.

Although I hope they don't get too weird with the 3D ones, we need some normal stuff if we are to call it Metroid, right?

**Valigarmander** · 06-29-2007, 07:57 AM

Another 2D one would be the polpetta atop my spaghetti.

They should make another Metriod with 2D flavor.

Rainbow Dash · 06-29-2007, 02:20 PM

Don't believe me? Metroid Dread - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ChuckleHuck · 06-29-2007, 02:29 PM

That page has no illustrations. It meeds to be more...spoiler-like.

Otherwise, people who can't read are the only ones that don't have the game spoiled for them, and probably shouldn't be on VGF, Wikipedia, or in fact, the Internets.

Rainbow Dash · 06-29-2007, 07:37 PM

...what? It's just a page for the upcoming (possibly) Metroid Dread. It doesn't need illustrations yet.

Sim Kid · 06-29-2007, 09:37 PM

They should. Even though people may expect a 3D FPS like Hunters, the DS and PSP are pretty much the only way the classic side-scrolling platform games live on. (Wii can count if you count remakes.

) They were all very popular, and even though Samus had a pretty good transition to 3D, the 2D games were still very popular.

Inferno Dragon · 07-04-2007, 03:01 PM

well due to the fact that the DS still has a gba slot you can't rule out the possibility of one last GBA metroid

Demonicus Prime · 07-04-2007, 03:30 PM

Technically, they could make it a side scroller for the Wii. Like, Paper Mario style, but not all RPG-y.

***Marilink*** · 07-04-2007, 05:55 PM

I love the 2-D games, and I gotta say I was really disappointed when they made a DS game that was 3-D. Alas.

**Loot** · 07-04-2007, 06:47 PM

I can only finish the 3D games, for some reason. I just can't get into the 2D ones.

Rainbow Dash · 07-04-2007, 07:31 PM

I'm somewhat the opposite. Both Primes are hard to finish for me. (Damn you Phazon Mines/Quadraxis!)

***Marilink*** · 07-04-2007, 09:35 PM

I beat Prime, but it took me the second time around to get into it. I got pretty far in Prime 2, but lost interest due to much backtracking and not knowing where to go. I can't wait for Prime 3, though. Never played Hunters.

I'm kinda the same way with the 2-Ders, though. I beat Zero Mission, Fusion, and Super Metroid (Super Metroid with close to 100%, on my own). I never got my hands on Metroid, and Metroid II is hell and I never got very far at all.

Rainbow Dash · 07-05-2007, 12:06 AM

Psst, ML, here's a tip: Zero Mission has the original Metroid in it.

***Marilink*** · 07-05-2007, 09:49 AM

I know, I'm not retarded. I still want to play it on the NES, 'cause I'm just one of those guys.

Bomby · 07-05-2007, 10:14 AM

Yes. The 3D Metroids could not keep my interest at all.

Rainbow Dash · 07-05-2007, 11:25 AM

Good luck finding an NES that will work.

Good luck finding a Metroid cartridge that will work.

***Marilink*** · 07-05-2007, 12:40 PM

I personally know about 10 people that still have fully functional NESes. I just need to replace one thing to get mine working again, myself.

And I bet I could get my hands on a Metroid cart from one of those 10 people if I ask nicely.
