I recognized the team ninja intro, and I was like ok so it's Dead or Alive.

Then I saw space and I was like, ok so it's DoA in space,

And then I heard, "Any objections lady?" and I thought to myself, 'Lady? Wait a sec....'

Zero Suit Samus shows up..... OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OOOOMMMMMGGGG!!!!! A NEW METROID. and then I screamed, cried and called all my friends who own Wii's

EDIT: I'm 21 years old by the way...

the part I flipped out at awas seeing the waves since I'm a huge ninja gaiden fan I knew from that point that it was gonna be something special pretty much there are only 2 great slash em ups out there ninja gaiden and god of war... nintendo has never REALLY tryed at this genre, and now it's nintendo AND the makers of one of the other great ones? I can't see how this could be a bad game now...

What was my reaction?...a dejected sigh.

It reminds me of Castlevania: Lament Of Innocence for the PS2. It should be really good...I'll get it day 1 regardless and make my own assessment as I absolutely love Metroid.

I just hope it lives up to it's own potential. It could be the best Metroid game ever!

My reaction was probably "looks kind of cool." Not overly impressed, but then again it doesn't look like my kind of game. I was more surprised with my reaction to Mario Galaxy 2, I just had a blank stare thinking "why the hell have they made another one?". But then again, that was shown immediately after being pounded in the face with the reality that Wii Vitality is Nintendo's "next big thing". Ugh.

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

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

I was very suprised by the direction and developer. It's when they started talking about fleshing out Samuses' back story and make it more about her as acharacter did I start getting OMG!! It's just what I wanted for the next installment and I'm highly optimistic.

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?

Darth-Samus

Yeah I'm a huge metroid fan too I played the first one on the nes when it came out. I'm 32 years old and when I saw the trailer it sent shivers down my spine. I was thinking if this could only turn out as good as super metroid. The prime series was ok and all but nowhere near the calibur of what super metroid was for it's time. I like Techmo I've played the ninja gaidens.Techmo + Nintendo + Metroid = win all they way around. I have a feeling this game is gonna be great.

At first I didn't know what it was due to the team ninja aspect but when they showed Samus in her Zero Suit, I freaked out, jumped up, ran out of the house screaming with joy (I'm not kidding). Then when they showed Mother Brain in her Super Metroid incarnation, I almost fainted at the awesomeness that was playing before me. Then I realized that Samus was doing all that MDK in her basic suit and only wondered what her other suits were going to be capable of. I couldn't wait to see some of her other suits but that would've kindaspoiledthat partso I am thankful that they didn't show any others. "Mother Metroid", here I come. That game Single Handedly won E3 for Nintendo in my opinion.

I honestly think Nintendo is confused about what to do with Metroid

I mean, the trailer was action packed, melee combat.... everything Metroid isn't!

My thoughts are mixed on this trailer. It's still early in developement, so I'll hold my judgement until I keep seeing more info, or play it. I just hope they don't turn this game into something it's not. I don't mind change, but you can't change something completely (from the original), and turn it into a completely different genre. You have to innovate and be creative. Not give it to Michael Bay, and expect it to be pure greatness just because of his resume.

That's like taking the movieDumb n Dumber, and letting Stanley Kubrick direct. It could ok.....but it could go horribly wrong as well.

The new Metroid game looks great. The color and graphics look great and it will be great to learn some of the history behind Samus and how she came to be. Now if they can get new Zelda footage out just as fast would be great too.

I've done it before (on my 21st, drinking) amd I'm a male lol

if you think about it.... females don't have anything to move, thus not allowing for different wet points.

"Surprise? Yeah, 'surprise' us with Zelda Wii." *trailer starts* "Um, Zelda in the future..? That blonde lady could very well be Zel - SAMUS?!" *stares at screen in awe as gameplay flashes onscreen* "There... is a God." *hides in closet full of awesome overload, conflicted with old-school 2-D gaming, SMG2's magic, and freaking Metroid, in a "morph ball" state or confusion*

First I was like :o, but then I was like :? because I realized it was from Team Ninja. I love Team Ninja and all, but from the looks of it, this is going to be a plot driven metriod, and Team Ninja kinda fails on plot (See the end of DOA4)

It's pretty rad because after Corruption I've been saying how one direction I'd really love for Metroid would be to go into third person. Almost as ifa place like Tallon IV for example would act as Hyrule from any of the 3d Zelda's. It seems like that's pretty much what's happening! :D
