Metroid is bliss
NOOOOOES!
Metroid Prime 3 is out.
Yes, the newest installment in everybody's favorite space mercenary's adventures is finally there. Well, okay. Samus Aran might not be everybody's favorite space merc. But she sure is mine.
And I can't play it. Because the game is for the Wii. And... I don't have one. And I don't have the money to spare for one. And I really don't want one anyway. I don't give a shit about the so-called revolutionary Wiimote controls. Give me a good old controller any day of the week.
But but... It's Metroid! It's, like... my favorite video game series EVER. (disregarding the DS titles). I don't know what to do anymore.
Life is filled with sad moments.
My Metroid Timeline :
Summer 1989 : I play the first Metroid on the NES for the first time and completely fall in love with the game.
Winter 1991 : Countless of hours are spent on my old monochrome Game Boy, trying to exterminate all the Metroids that lurk below the surface of planet SR-388 in Metroid II : Return of Samus
Fall 1993 : Nothing mattered to me anymore. Nothing aside from Super Metroid, for the Super NES.
Fall 1997 : While playing Castlevania : Symphony of the Night on my PlayStation, I'm starting to seriously miss the Metroid series.
Fall 2002 : At long last, two new Metroid titles were released. I'm playing Metroid Fusion like crazy on the Game Boy Advance. I'm kinda scared of the other one, Metroid Prime (being an american-made game, being 3D, and having First Person view too). I give it a chance... and it becomes one of my favorite games.
Spring 2004 : I rediscover Samus' first Adventure on the Game Boy Advance with Metroid Zero Mission
Fall 2004 : I'm getting mostly disappointed with Metroid Prime 2 : Echoes' radical shift in focus from the first game. I hate the fact it is starting to feel like a real First Person Shooter.
Christmas 2005 : I get a few chuckles at Metroid Prime Pinball and wonder what Nintendo USA was smoking.
Spring 2006 : I play the first stage of Metroid Prime Hunter and walk away in boredom. I start thinking instead of a plan to build a time machine, go back in time and assassinate the creators of DOOM so that First Person Shooters will never come to exist and I won't have to deal with horrors like Metroid Prime Hunters again. I fail at building the machine.
Summer 2006 : I see the port of the NES Metroid for the Game Boy Advance in a bargain bin somewhere. I buy it and never touch it again.
Summer 2007 : I weep because for the first time in my life, I don't have the machine to play the newest Metroid game.
