Wasn't Samus' response to that to crash the space station into the planet to blow them both up?

Then when that lifeform kills everything on the station, their response is to try and do it all again because how could we gently caress this up twice? This is kinda the main problem. In the Prime games, the Federation are upstanding guys who are just outclassed by the Space Pirates and crazy poo poo like the Ing and Dark Samus and need Samus' help, so they ask Samus for help and they treat her with respect and admiration at all times (in Prime 3, the dudes actually salute you). But in the Sakamoto games, the Federation is full of braindead morons who see the Space Pirates continually loving up their attempts to clone Metroids and go "hey we oughta try that." And in Fusion and Other M, they constantly abuse, lie to and mislead Samus despite her basically being a weapon of mass destruction with no loyalty or ties to anything except to her own sense of right and wrong and her dead bird parents.

The game was on the stream with Tanabe, looks like it could be fun. I think Next Level Games know their poo poo. I don't think it warrants a petition, at least.

Though to be honest you could hand-wave it as like with any organization there are good people and assholes and Samus just happened to be dealing with more of the assholes later in her career.

Rhonne posted:Wasn't Samus' response to that to crash the space station into the planet to blow them both up? Not exactly. Blowing up the station wouldn't work because the X parasite was incredibly resilient and would be able to survive in the debris as they spread out into who knows where. Her solution was to drive the station onto the surface of SR38, the home planet of the X parasite, working on the logic that any surviving X wouldn't be an issue because that's the only ecosystem that has adapted to not being completely destroyed by them. Or something like that its been ages since I played Fusion. The thing that makes this extra stupid though is that the space pirates are disorganized and leaderless by the time Fusion takes place so the Federation has no big enemy they could justify using a bio weapon against. They're just loving around with highly dangerous creatures for the hell of it.

They needed a safeguard against Ridley, the other stupidly dangerous lifeform they kept stashed away for no good reason.

I dunno man, in Prime 3 they started shooting themselves up with Phazon, which really wasn't a very unambiguous good guy thing to do.

Eh, the Feds only had Phazon in their armor, which was more or less totally safe. The problem with Samus and the other bounty hunters was they had their bodies naturally producing the poo poo after their run-in with Dark Samus, which was all kinds of bad news.

There's still the fact that when they found out that Samus's body was producing Phazon naturally, instead of trying to get rid of it they decided to radically alter her suit to run off the juice while she was unconscious for a few weeks or so. Doesn't seem like the totally good-guy thing to do, really.

Really, if they just made up 8 or so dudes to pick from like 'Major Tom Fuckstick of the Federation' and 'Other Bounty Hunter J'oe Sch'mo-e' or whatever it would go a long way towards their 'we're fleshing out the universe of Metroid Prime' argument.

Yeah having you play as bounty hunters instead of faceless grunts would make the game more interesting. Plus then they could reuse some of the hunters from the DS game that weren't huge jerks. Of course it wouldn't help much if they went with the repulsive art style we have right now.

( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮ Hey Nintendo Fans, here are the games you wanted ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮ This games looks like poo poo. When they previewed the Soccer game at the World Championship I thought it was going to be an eshop mini game. The only decent game they announced was the Mario and Luigi.

I understand that they are just using the Metroid name to drum up a little excitement for this, but did they really expect Metroid fans to want this? Why not just make it a Splatoon spin off, that's an actual action shooter.

It's probably going to be a decent (if not good) game and at least it shows that they still have some interest in the franchise. Still, I hope they make a traditional one as well. I can't see them not doing that. They'll probably do it in like 2 years or something though.

I think the hope here would be telling Nintendo that they'd rather have a new real Metroid game instead of a bad looking spin off, but the real message this would probably send to Nintendo would be "no one wants a new Metroid I guess."

Chibi Gfed Trooper Amiibo would actually be way more likely to get my money than this game will ever be. Rhonne posted:I think this is a case of "I'd rather have nothing!" Basically. I think the petition is people trying to say "Hey, the last Metroid game was really bad, you've done nothing with it for five years, we've been trying to wait patiently, you ignored the serieses 25th Anniversary, come on, this looks really bad and we don't like the way you're treating the Metroid series." But eloquence isn't the internet's strong suit.
