Metroid Prime was one of the best thing ever created by Nintendo. It was loved by critics and players alike. Metroid Prime games have consistently been good. Now, with Team Ninja's Metroid on the way, MP is gonna get a tough competitor. Which do you think will be better? The tried and true Metroid prime? Or the soon to come, mature, violent, exciting (with voice acting) Metroid: Other M?

I think its gonna be great, but not as good. What do you think?

It will be great, though the only thing kind of disappointing is the art - when compared to the prime games.

I have honestly no idea. The concept looks cool. But we need more to judge on.

Well I certianly hope so, and as a long time metroid fan, of course I am still sceptical about Other M, but I do trust that Nintendo and Team Ninja will make this game awesome. Prime was one of my favuorite games ever so its gonna be hard to top that.

No because Prime was a huge change for the series it was a first person action adventure and Metroid Prime was simply outstanding.

No It won't be better, but maybe trying to compare the two series is a mistake. I think it has potental to be just as good.

I think the third person aspect looks intriguing. From the trailer the action seems over the top, similar to NInja Gaiden.

I did hate Ocarina and never played Haze. Not that it's a bad game, it was just a bad idea to play it for the first time after playing Twilight Princess.

I don't hate Ocarina, but I think it's the worst of the 3D Zeldas. Here's my list: Twilight Princess > Windwaker > Majora's Mask > Ocarina of Time.

Yeah, Ocarina was the first game I got for my N64, and I thought it was bloody amazing. Then I got Majora's Mask, and was like "This is even better!", and then Windwaker and was blown away (LOL PUN), and TP, which made me crap my pants.

It was actually just the controls. I got so used to pointing at the screen to shoot my bow and arrow.

I doubt it will be better than Prime, but it should still kick plenty of ass. Methinks that the next Prime-style Metroid game will probably debut on Nintendo's next system, where it can have awesome graphics.

I've never played the Metroid Prime series, but I'm generally a bit meh about first-person shooters, so I would probably enjoy Other M more than Prime.

It's too early to say at the mo.

Metroid, Super metroid and Metroid Prime were genre deffining games. What makes you think this wont be on par?

pls, pls , pls - corridor levels ala 2d metroid- open spaces ala prime, maybe, hopefully. Stir in that a bit of team ninja close quarter action and i think we have a winner!!!

i think everyone is overlooking one thing when they say that this game won't be better than Metroid Prime. Sure Team Ninja is working on the game, but they are working with Nintendo R&D1. Nintendo R&D1 are the developers credited for

-Metroid (NES)

-Metroid 2 (Gameboy)

-Super Metroid

-Metroid Fusion (GBA)

-Metroid Zero Mission (GBA

I prefer the 2D Metroids to the Prime games and this new one looks a lot more like these fantastic 2D itterations

With only one trailer,I don't think it is possible to say whether it'd be better or not.Considering the quality of its predecessors,it might end up being a great game.

I love Metroid Prime 1 and 2... 3 not so much, the controls were awesome but the gameplay and level design felt dumbed down... I'm hoping its as amazing as the prime series. Each prime game seemed to get more and more cartoony as the series progressed, so i wish they would go back to MP1 art style, the realistic look was great.

Well the trailer did look amazing, but I'm wondering how they plan on pulling off this "Metroid Gaiden" type of gameplay. From what I saw in the trailer the gameplay shifts from 2.5D to 1st person to a full blown 3d third person shooter/action game. I'm also wondering if we can play as zero suit samus too. That would be awesome; Samus' whip + Motion Plus = Awesomeness. It will be hard to beat the Prime series because it had amazing Music, Gameplay, and Atmosphere. Team Ninja Has a lot on their plate if they want to outdo Retro.

if its better then the prime games then it would have to be the best game hands down ever. seeing as MP was the best game last gen and MP3 is one of the finest this gen
