Metroid becomes an FPS

http://cube.ign.com/news/31549.html

Good,I\'m ok with this decision. I mean,Nintendo stated that the TPS Metroid wasn\'t doing so well(and Nintendo knows third person games better than anyone) so they decided to make it a FPS. Smart move. Now I\'m looking forward to this game than I ever was. The guys were helped develop Half-Life and Quake will be helping Retro so the game will turn out ok in the end. Hopefully...

NintendoNation has a huge topic on this. You should check it out,it has a lot of good points.

I will, since me and you seem to be the biggest nintendo fans in this site. Im going to go and register in a nintendo forum.

Cool. NintendoNation is probably the best Nintendo forum on the net. I\'m registered as Ganon over there.

........so many different names. Anyways im going to stick with Gametavern.com \'s forum.

At first I was so upset, then I got to the part where it said that there are people from the Half-Life team and such.

Now I am very excited.  I\'m just wondering what\'s it gonna be like to grapple beam in FPS?!

Man I never heard of that place before...too bad the adms rejected my "Other Consoles" idea...

So this makes two awesome FPS at launch(After Dark and Metroid). I swear I\'m not gonna be able to keep up with NGC. I just have to buy Metroid,After Dark, Mario,Too Human, Eternal Darkness,Dinosaur Planet,SSX:SE,1080 2... danm Nintendo! How the hell am I supposed to buy all those games?And then theres GBA...****!

You forgot Wave Race, Killer Instinct 3, and Thornado.  

Was Dinosaur Planet confirmed for GC?  I was hoping they would take it there, it\'s such a good concept, it\'s going to be amazing on GC.

Now where\'s another Banjo?!?

BAH! I loved Wave Race 64! It had to be one of the best racing games that ever graced the N64(there wasn\'t that many but...).And Thornado,Factor 5. That game sounds sweet. I might have to forget about buying 1080 and SSX:SE...DAMN I forgot about Rogue Squadron 2! That\'s another game I can\'t miss.

Yup,it\'s coming the NGC.And it will be most likely at launch title since Rare has already been working on it for so long.

Now where\'s another Banjo?!?

Banjo-Kazooie-the most underated game on the N64. I think it\'s the best 3D platform game ever(with Mario 64 coming in at a close 2nd). I really hope Rare makes another one of these because their truly amazing games.

 



 

Honestly I didn\'t like Mario 64.  I tried over and over too, but it just didn\'t click with me.

But Banjo-Kazooie was the reason I bought a 64.  I went and purchased a 64 and that game on BK\'s release.

You also forgot Resident Evil Zero!

yea i really think that people are gonna be suprised by nintendo this time around

even people at this forum are starting to notice that they are getting their stuff together

it looks like i will have another systen to buy - but i am still gonna wait about 6 months - to a year to buy it - just have to wait for all the great games to come out and maybe for it to get cheaper

Honestly I didn\'t like Mario 64. I tried over and over too, but it just didn\'t click with me.

Yeah I first played it in grade 4! So it was like a dream game for me really but I guess the older audience didn\'t take it in so well. I think the reason for it being kind of disapointing was because of the transaction bewteen 2D and 3D. I expect the next 3D Mario to be a killer AAA title.

I loved that game so much...

You also forgot Resident Evil Zero!

....

Is it possible to have that many awesome titles at launch? I mean here are the AAA games that are supposingly coming out at launch:

Metroid
Mario
Eternal Darkness
RE:0
Too Human
Dinosaur Planet
1080 2
Thornado
Rogue Squadron 2
Wave Race 2
SSX:SE
After Dark

(and I have to get Shenmue 2)
And these are the games we know about! EAD is working on four or five games right now that are all scheculed for launch. How is this possible?

And the scary thing is Yamauchi said that Nintendo\'s big season was going to be Christmas 2002...how the hell are they going to surpass their own launch? I can already make a guess which game will come out then:ZELDA.

Like I always said,2001 will be a great year for gamers. But it will be an even better one for people who own GameCube.



 



 

FPS Metroid??
Sounds interesting.
Nintendi better not blow this one since Metroid is one of the best franchises.Remember what happened when Resident Evil went FPS?

Nintendo has never screwed any of their franchises.  I don\'t think they are going to start with the gamecube.

Oh yeah, you also forgot all the Left Field studios productions.  I think they are the ones working on the sports games.  They supposedly have 3-5 titles in the work for launch.

That\'s fine with me as well, in fact, N64 had all crap FPS anyway.  Duke and Doom sucked ass...  The two good ones they have are Goldeneye and PD.
