"Yoshio Sakamoto, the co-creator behind the popular Metroid franchise has stated that he may make some significant changes to the next entry in the well received series if the fans demand it."

Well, if he does what some fans seem to demand, then he'll simply have to remake Super Metroid exactly. Not even new graphics or levels or anything, ( Read more... )

Haha, a Metroid dating sim would be awesome. I'd play that just for the novelty of it.

The Metroid Prime games definitely retain the free exploration aspect of the original games, it's just FPS instead of side-scroller. Other M has a lot of little hidden trinkets as well, like energy tanks and missile pods and such. The main difference is that instead of finding the main weapons and suit upgrades, these just become activated based on the story of the game, rather than finding them. Also, Other M reveals on the minimap where everything is after you finish the main part of the game as well. It doesn't show you how to get them, but it does tell you that something is there to get.

One thing I liked about Prime that was missing from Other M is the scanning. Some probably found it tedious, but I enjoyed scanning every little object and finding log entries and enemy data and Chozo lore and such. I'd have to say that the "scanning" in Other M is one of the main things I didn't like about it, especially the three or four times they locked you in first person view (meaning that you couldn't move around at all) and you had ( ... )
