Online isn't what hurt Metroid Hunters, the lack of a real single player game did. If Metroid had a campaign even half the quality of any other Metroid game it would have been great.

Zelda doesn't abandon the single player game for it's online components. If anything the online is an extra compared to the overall wealth of single player gameplay.

No I don't think so, good graphics, gameplay, length, online, story, controls, extras, all the stuff gamespot wants is here. Did I miss anything out?

What do you mean by flop? If you mean get less than 9.0 here, then yes, it probably will. If you mean it will be any good, well the reviews of the import should answer your question.

By flop you mean someone or something that is unsuccessful, or a complete failure? If so then no way. Franchises don't fall down so quickly. Especially not after rave reviews in Japan.

Even without online wifi, metroid is a better than average game. The reason so many people hate it is because their expectations were extremely high, wanting a gamecube quality game on a portable system, and metroid failed to reach their expectations. However, if no one expected metroid to be good, people would think it is better than what they do now.

If the game has a solid single player mode the game will do very well....the online part of the game will be just grazy for the people if it is just as good.

I particularily loathed windwaker, all the way to the very hole that it was made in. Even so, I've stuck with Zelda since I learned to play video games, and I'm not about to stop now. I did get Zelda no Densetsu - Mugen no Sunadokei (the japanese version) and other than the rather graphics that make link look like a turd, it is a game that will easily be successful where it goes. The multiplayer is more of an extra, where as in metroid prime the single player was more of an extra (from my point of view of course). Cheers.

Actually,many people who got Metroid Prime Hunters and have Wifi thought it was a great game. The multiplayer is the main draw of it, and the single player is an interesting sideshow that some people shamefully only played halfway through so they could have all the Hunters on Wifi. But, I don't think for an instant Phantom Hourglass will suck. It looks like it has great controls, pretty nice graphics, sweet dungeons, and a multiplayer mode that's undoubtedly made just to sell it to more people who just looooove Wifi games.

I'm predicting that it isn't going to flop. It might be overhyped, but it won't flop.

thats wrong actually look at this http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/45176.html

i think the zelda is on the 5 or 6th worst.

it was the one on the Cdi console that i never knew existed, and nintendo made nothing of it just despratly sold the rights to zelda so they could get a zelda game on that console and it ended up screwing zelda over until.

Although not to many people have heard of this game, i never even heard of the console so its no supprise.

But the Phantom hour glass will be good, my friend played the japanese version and besides not knowing wtf anyone is saying he said it was good having the touchscreen controls acutualy enhancing the gameplay.

How dare you mention that ... that thing... That game was banished from the zelda lineage, I tried that game, the cut scenes make you want to take a hammer to the system, and the gameplay makes sure that you do...

that game is a puss spewing sin against nature.

Flop like a crap game, bad sales, or low review scores?

I think it will score well 8.0-9.0 and sell well, obviously I think it will be a good game.

Are people actually buying Phantom Hourglass for the online? Hah! :P

Though honestly I don't think it will flop at all ... I know this may sound crazy because I don't think it would ever happen to a handheld game, but based on the reception that PH received from some reviews, I think it can make a good contender for Game of the Year.

I've played through most of the game (in Japanese mind you) and so far it's amazing. I see no reason for floppage unless there's something crazy like an english translation that's so bad the game becomes unplayable. In any case, the game is solid single-player, and though I haven't played the multi-player, it can only add to the game, not take away. Here's to GS 9.0 or 9.5!

There are videos of the online mode. It's a 1 vs 1 battle mode in which 1 player controls link and has to collect and drop off various rupees. While Player two controls 3 enemies by drawing out their routes on a map, and has to catch link. It's nothing like 4 Swords sadly. But Nintendo will probably get around to developing a DS version one day.

Metroid Hunters wasn't a flop but long term fans didn't like it so much because it didn't have any metroids in it andthe single player game was too short. Online saved that game from being one sided.

The new Zelda game for the DS won't be a flop, Zelda has always done well.

No it won't. The only reason why Metriod flopped because of the campiagn mode, blew compared to the other metriod games. Online play was the only reason why metriod sells it seems.

I wouldn't be surrpised, but it seems different enough not to be docked, and it has multi-player so that might give it the extra notch for a 9.0.

Hunters didn't flop because of its online. In fact, it didn't flop at all in my opinion. People just kept comparing it to the Gamecube games, none of which focused heavily on multiplayer. Hunters just focused more on multiplayer than single player, which I thought was awesome for a DS game

Anyways, PH was a big hit in Japan, so I don't see why it would flop here.

Just don't expect a good review from Gamespot, as usual.
