Sounds good to me. Imagine if this game really ends up being as good or better than playing with a mouse and keyboard likenintendo claimed. The wii would end up with a ton of first person shooters. Metroid is going to be a very important game i think.

His name is Reggie Fils-Amie. And he is the god you pray to.

It's Reggie Fils-Aime (Feez-uh-mee).

I'm not sure what his exact words were, but he said that it would "Open the door" for console FPS's on the Wii.

Yeah, what's up with Reggie's name? I've heard that he changed it when he went to Nintendo but you know how rumors are.

Damn!!

This looks disappointing to me. I don't want to hear/see voice acting in MP or "massive" battle trooper scenes. Retro is taking MP to a whole other level,that level I don't like. I just want to play Samus, Alone, big world, scanning objects, finding out the story by yourself and fighting cool bosses.The Dark Samus thing is getting a bit old. In MP2 it was nice but a little bit disapointing. Get it over with.Can't Retro think of something more original. I liked the facialstyle of Samus at the end of the first MP1,but in 2 she looked kinda dumb to me. What I am trying to say is that MP1 was great, and it worked all so well. MP1 is defenitly my favourite. But why does Retro wants to make it so differently, when it doesn't even fit the MP series?In MP2 it didn't work, so im afraid they'l do the same with MP3. I'm still looking forward to this game, but again im afraid they will make the game to "Big" for it's own good. It started so nice.

Nice trailer. I hope this game lives up to it's hype and gets lots of acclaim. Is anyone else going to type in the code wrong just to see what happens and what they say? :D i like doing the negative outcomes of things first in games just to see how the game turns it around. Like in Paper Mario TTYD. I said No on the last option and got my first Game Over. :(

To me, it seems like your complaints are that...

A) There is voice acting. - The lack of voice acting does not make any game.

B) Samus looks dumb after MP1 - Facial design for a most always helmeted woman is damn close to irrelevant.

C) A selfcontained Sub-Trilogy with a story line has the same villain - Welcome to every other trilogy!

D) The final chapter in a Trilogy is "big" - All trilogies generally end with a bang. I don't see how this is an issue.

I know exactly how you feel. Here's hoping for more mysterious adventuring and bigger areas to explore, rather than as many action-packed battles as possible.

Watch the "E3: Past, Present and Future" video on this page. At about 5:10, he pronounces his name.

Dude the article mentioned that there is plenty of exploration in the game and puzzle elements. It's just that there is alot more action in this game than traditional Prime games. From what I can tell in the article, the action does not take away from the aspects we've come to like about MP. It keeps the game from being boring and makes you look forward to getting through all the mysteries. I guess there is just no pleasing anyone....

Is it "feez-eh-may" or "feez-ehm"? If it's the former then I'd expect to see an accent mark over the last 'e', like this: "Fils-aimé". Or maybe it is pronounced the first way and the accent mark has been dropped due to the Americanization of his name.

I think everyone knows how important this game is for the Wii. Nintendo hasn't had a blockbuster since Zelda, and a AAA game for the hardcore would go a long way in securing Nintendo's place this generation

What does it matter that he is Canadian, Haitian or Mongolian.His name is in french and I speak french. A lot of Haitian have french name. So maybe I'm able to know how to pronounced it.

The closest Nintendo themselves have come to saying this, is by saying it's the closest thing to KB/M control you can get on a console..

That's for all those anoying people that don't own a specific game, and like to say bad comments about it. And also for certain "fanboys" that like their time spending comparing games like a FPS game with a Mertroid game for example. It's a endless discussion, that I think is useless. No matter what games you play, It always comes down to FUN in the end, right?

So this is my answer:
