    Metroid other m...

    Uh oh, nostalgia is kicking in again...

    It's been 3 years, and it still bothers me with what direction this franchise went in. Other m was a drop off in quality from the prime trilogy and ignores that they ever happened, splitting the story of the metroid universe into multiple realities. Splitting the story lines from each other hurts the metroid image and makes the franchise seem less significant. Going forward, I think this franchise is in a lot of trouble, and needs to be seriously smart in how they handle new games. Retro studios did mind blowing things for the franchise, without even contradicting the main games. Then other m came and crapped all over it.

    It seems to me that Yoshio Sakamoto's visions for his game should stay 2d. I love the games in 2d. But other m is basically made to be a 2d game taking place in 3d. It doesn't work. It looks stupid and plays like ****.(a generalization. It's alright, but not great.) until he and his Japanese team can turn their eyes to what retro studios did and figure out how to make a fitting 3d metriod, they should leave it to others.

    Something tells me it'll be too long before we get another brilliant metriod.

    Agree, Other M was a major disappointment

    P.S You also forgot to mention the cheesy story and how they would have been better off leaving Samus faceless and voiceless.

    True dat. I figured I'd start light lol. Truthfully though, I'm open to giving her a story and narrative, just not the one she was given...so terrible.
