What was your reaction to Metroid at E3?

Well first off to make it clear I consider myself to be one of the planets largest Metroid freaks lol. Samus is my video gaming life's blood, so you bet I had a pretty strong reaction ;)

After sitting through Nintendo's admittedly pitiful press conference I knew thanks to Reggie that this was their megaton trailer. Of course I didn't know what it was going to be. I saw this woman, in a space setting. "A storied Nintendo franchise" but what the heck was this? After the captain asked "any objections Lady?" it was in a matter of about 1.5 seconds staring at the blonde girl's face in reaction at the moment we see her in the zero suit. "Ohmygod...Samus!" At that moment I completely flipped out lol! It was like a repeat of the Twilight Princess reaction in '04 (which I attended btw ;D ) Watching the glory of all this new 3rd person Samus action, which I've been wanting 3rd person since the conlusion of the Prime trilogy, was just overload. I was jumping and hooting like a little kid...and I turn 29 next month!

How amazing this new Metroid looks coupled with being SO disappointed with Nintendo's showing up until that point was just awesome. I had my fanboy moment of this E3 and it was great!

What was it like for you given that this was Nintendo's big annoucement and throwback to us loyaltists. From Metroid fans and non-fans alike, how did you react?

I was like :D to see the game. It was Super Metroid in 3D for me and SM is still the king of Metroid.

"Not Zelda, don't care." Really, I just can't stand the Metroid series.OreoMilkshake

Oh. Well. That's depressing. But fair enough you have the right to feel how you want. I did want to hear from everybody. Too bad the aweseome trailer didn't excite you as a non-Metroid fan. Hopefully the game will!

Part of what it also really was for me was that I though for sure Metroid was going to be quiet for a while. I DID NOT think we lived in a world where another KICK ASS Metroid was in the works!! I thought it was going to be the Zelda trailer for sure. So when I saw Samus come back looking better than ever...it was over. As Ign said; "Close the interent. Nintendo wins the planet"

Yeah, I was actually really impressed with Metriod at E3.

I'm not a huge Metriod fan, but I was blown away.

:shock:

I was kinda dissapointed at first. It looked to much like a Final fantasy game(I hate JRPG style cutscenes) After that I had no idea what I was looking at. Usually a trailers helps you understand how the game will play out, but I didnt know if it was a full 3D game or a 3.5d sidescroller.........with.....first person shooter elements....What th-?

this :D

My first initial reaction was: "Ok I'm not sure what series this is since it doesn't resemble anything yet, perhaps starfox or somethinggg.... OMGits metroid!" *faints*

this :D

Haha! I friggin love you man! Well said.

Mine was about the same only I had tears of joy streaming down my face I think ;P

Totally! I was definitely thinking Star Fox! Which I would have been super excited about as well. But man when I realized it was Samus it was game over and I exploded into pieces.

**** Yeah. Team Ninja equals big boobies. This game is gonna rock!!111!

My thoughts:

"Cool a team ninja game on wii!"

"nice, a spaceship"

"Look! a blonde gir...."

"SAMUS!! :o"

:roll::|:):oops::o:shock::cry::D

That about sums it all up.

At first I was hoping it was going to be an all new franchise, but that's not to say I was dissapointed to find out it was Metroid. I really like the franchise, and as much as I love the Prime series, there's only so much you can do with the formula; so I'm glad to see it's going in a bit of a different direction.

:o:shock::lol:

I was completely shocked. Not expecting Metroid announcement at all. Galaxy 2 was suspected but not this. Glad to hear. I'm super excited.

I was sitting there just thinking "awesome!"

I didn't whatch all the conference live, so i watch it later that day, of course, avoiding any spoilers, so after seeing SMG2 and NSMB Wii i was "ok, it wasn't that bad" then, suddenly, Team Ninja Logo and i was like "what? Ninja Gaiden?" then i say "nop, not Ninja Gaiden, is Star Fox" and then "OMG is Samus, Samus, OMG, it's Metroid", then i hear the "Any Objections Lady", OMG is Adam Malkovich, then i watch everything else, and i still was saying "Metroid is a new Metroid", so, to sum it up, i was incredible excited, and is in this momment my most hyped game in any console.

"OH SNAP!"

I was very happy, so much so I completely forgot about Zelda.

This game looks like it may be best game on Wii in 2010, seriously, what on the Wii could possibly compare?

A mix of:

and:

I pounded my hand on this through most of the trailer :D

I'll let Penny Arcade do the talking:

Another Metroid? I was hoping Kid Icarus would be the subject of Nintendo's collaboration with Team Ninja. Metroid already established itself as a decent FPS, and Metroid Prime Trilogy is already coming out soon. Nintendo has so many forgotten franchises that are begging for a comeback (Kid Icarus, StarFox, Donkey Kong, EarthBound, etc.)

Hopefully this new Metroid will be very unique and stand out above the Metroid Prime series. Supporting WiiMotionPlus would be a good first step.

It looks beautiful, with Team Ninja and veteran Yoshio Sakamoto on the team, its gonna be awesome! Cant wait.

I think this illustrates it:

Words cannot describe how amazed I was with that trailer. I thought to myself "this is how I want to play metroid". I've been playing Super Metroid for the past week as a result.

SPEED BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!! It's pretty much the coolest upgrade ever and it's back!!!

Just in shock & awe :D

I wanted to rewind the live conference, but couldn't. :(ZumaJones07

anyways i first i firgures some thing lame when reggie was talking about it. but then i saw the blonde chick and said is that samus no that cant be her and then it cut to the samus thing and i exploded it was such a shocker

i almost cried.True story.intro94

yeah me to.....only a game like metroid can still do that to me at 24 yo :lol:

i was like

"is it zelda?

oh its metroid...

METROID WOW :O"

then i was like WOYUSUWUSA,

then i was like "why didnt retro make this game?" and a sad face

then i noticed time ninja are the ones who made breasts or alive and i was like WOOOOW

samus with great fiysics

I was really sceptical about it the first time I saw it. It looked like a pretty typical action game, which I really don't want the series to turn into. I didn't see any exploring or puzzles, which had me worried.

I'm also not a big Team Ninja fan. I don't want Metroid to be Nintendo's Ninja Gaiden. But since Nintendo are working with them, I guess I shouldn't worry too much. The trailer did look cool, but the environments and lack of what makes the series so awesome for me, did not.

i didnt really understand what i was seeing xD for the most part it looks 3rd person, but there was also shots in first person, so im guessing that the 3rd person is only for certain things!? mmm dont realy know, also i really hope it is as good as the earlier metroid games or even metroid prime, i felt the prime series went downhill fast, the first game was epic, but they just got worse.

At first I thought we were seeing Kid Icarus/perhaps Zelda with the clouds and mountains etc.

Then Team Ninja flashed up and I was like no f****** Way :o

Then the music kind of reminded me of the prime games, but it looked more like a jrpg which had me both excited and stumped :D

Then "BAM" Zero suit Samus FTW!

From there I thought the rest was a mixed bag, some of the game play looked interesting, though what I want is an epic 3rd person adventure in a word like the first prime, full of exploration and atmosphere :).

The graphics looked average, though its still early in development and the 2.5d side scrolling bits (if that is indeed what they were) have me worried, I firmly believe that any new 2d metroid must be stylised and hand drawn to keep the SNES/GBA charm.

The CGI was beautiful,moody and atmospheric and all in all I am more psyched about this than an other game :D I have complete faith in the Nintendo/Ninja duo.

Bring on 2010!!

before they announced metroid i was in a bit of pain because of iwata's announcment of the vitality sensor.... but that actually got my mood way down, for metroid to put it way up again. i think it was planned that way! he knew what the reaction would be.

i was like....

NEW METROID???!! developed by tecmo and nintendo????? **almost screams, but in pleasure**

I think it has potential. I really would like to see some gameplay demos before I get too excited.
