Chols Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think the story team of Other M consisted of: A guy who played Fusion and loved it, but had no idea Metroid was a seriesA guy who played a bit into Prime 3 and then got boredA guy who watched a video of Super Metroid's endingBelieve it or not, the storywriter was Yoshio Sakamoto, who was on the original Metroid team and is the current head producer for the franchise. However, he had no involvement in Metroid Prime (that was developed entirely by Retro Studios with guidance from Shigeru Miyamoto), so the plot for Other M makes no reference to the Prime series whatsoever.

Chols Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'd love to see a new Prime-style game on 3DS. My only concern is that control might be tough with only one thumbpad. :/ Unless they can still use stylus aiming like they did for Hunters. That worked really well on DS and I'm surprised virtually no 3DS games have utilized this yet. Latest MOC: Ol' Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kothra Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 How would that be tough? It'd be perfectly fine. You could almost directly port Prime'sGC control scheme to 3DS, and make visors and/or beams switchable via touch screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you played Prime, it could perfectly fit the "one thumbpad" control that it had with the 3DS. The rest (visor and beams selection) could go to the touch screen. For me, it would be the perfect control. Edited October 16, 2011 by .:Cyber-JM:. No banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danska: Shadow Master Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I traded in a bunch of games (including the three seperate Prime games) to get the trilogy. I feel exchanging those three for the trilogy should have been an equal exchange, but the store disagreed. Click on them to build them yourself!

Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Dunno how Gandraya would be considered fun. It's just mash A until your hand hurts while avoiding a few relatively easy to dodge attacks. She has way too much health, and imo the length of the fight takes a lot of fun out of it. Dark Samus was generally relatively interesting to fight in both Echoes and Corruption. The last fight in Echoes is a joke compared to the others, but given the time limit I'm okay with that. ~B~ Edited October 19, 2011 by Ballom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
