I'm absolutely disgusted by the lack of hype for Metroid Prime 3

Over shadowed by the unproven Bioshock? Disregarded though it may have the best FPS controls for a console game? Metroid Prime has been considered one of the best games last gen, so how does an unproven upstart like Bioshock eclipse it? Any good reason? I say we make nintendo aware of this stupidity. Halo 3 will be awesome. Bioshock looks extremely promising. SSBB is a surefire hit. GTAIV will be a best seller. Super Mario Galaxy will be thebest Mario game yet. Metroid Prime 3 will perfect Fps controls and will complete the awesome Prime series. So where is the hype nintendo? When hyped, Metroid Prme sold well over a million copies in the states alone. When underhyped and eclipsed by Halo 2, Metroid Prime 2 sold half that amount. Metroid Prime 3 looks to be the Halo 2 in relation to Bioshock: eclipsing a relatively unknown game (to casuals) by presenting the well known Samus. Yet Nintendo has taken no steps to ensure Metroid Prime 3 is well known. Are they waiting till its near release to advertise, hoping that a casual will conclude that the game looks cool and go out and buy it on the spot? I just don't know. Heck, even ign is commenting on this lack of hype.

So, what do you guys think? Does Nintendo have a strategy for Metroid Prime 3, or are they just hoping the hardcore players will buy it?

it's hyped AAA. what more do you want? AAAA?CaseyWegner

You sure told him.:lol:

Bioshock and Metroid Prime 3 both deserve more hype than Halo 3.Lilac_Benjie

Actually, walkerctranger , I made a topic like this about a month earlier. Apparently, thanks to Matt, now more people post in these topics.peter1191

Besides the greater Metroid legacy, Metroid Prime is the first game to use first person motion sensing controls well. IGN claimed that Metroid Prime 3 controls better than any console shooter before it. Both Metroid Prime 3 and Bioshock expand upon the genre, while Halo 3 does not.

I don't know if everyone is thinking that motion sensing controls will make the next Metroid Prime better. I don't even care, as my brother is a Wii owner but most likely will not be getting the game, as neither he or I could find too much fun in Prime 1 (if you like it, it's fine). Just cause IGN said it, doesn't mean it's undoubtebly true.

Metroid was one of my favorites when it was a 2d NES game, but not anymore.

Give up on comparing Bioshock and Metroid to Halo though. Bioshock and Metroid are a bit similar, but niether of them are one bit similar to Halo.

it's hyped AAA. what more do you want? AAAA?CaseyWegner

I think he meant more advertising on Nintendo's part. Having a Metriod Prime 3 website, advertising on websites, and having a "Wii would like to play" commercial for example.

Yeah.. a hype thread gave it AAA. Now where's the actual hype. People know it will be good, but it's nothing to get excited over. That is...until I watch a vid of that intro at IGN...where's she is in her ship. So cool.

Sure, lets factor in ports of games that came out on the pc 2 years after their release on the xbox :S

You're disgusted? um..ok.... that's a bit extreme. :?

I think Nintendo is hoping that the Wii controls will make MP3 attractive to casuals.

This Halo vs. Metroid stuff realllllly needs to stop.

They are COMPLETELY, COMPLETELY different games. I'd play Halo for a fun online experience and Metriod for a atmospheric single player game.

See... you can be happy...

Why would we factor in ports made by different developers. It's like averaging all the MGS ports to other consoles and handhelds. As in, it's completely pointless.

Is MP3 a FPA or a FPS im kinda confusedEPaul

Somewhere in between. Playing it for 15 minutes makes it seem like a FPS, but playing it for 15 hours assures you that it's an adventure game.

So if you look at the big picture, it's far more of an adventure game.

And you've played the game long enough to be able to confirm this?

I didn't ask you that. I asked you if you had played the game.

I don't doubt MP3 will be an awesome game and all, but comparing it to PC shooters is a fight you cant win...

it's hyped AAA. what more do you want? AAAA?CaseyWegner

At least it won't flop. A game not hyped = a game that can't flop... (Unless there's a minimum a good game should get like a 5.0 or something)munu9

it's weird

even the halo 3 hype doesn't seem as big as last time
