He was given the Japanese Retirement - since you can't fire people who have been there forever, he's been shuttled off to lead the C teams on projects that don't matter.

All I now is that just from what they're showing this looks good so I'm not going to freak out about supposedly bad developers

Yeah, Mirror of Fate didn't really hide its badness. It looked bad and awkward right from the start. This, at least, looks promising.

go fuck themselves.
Unlike Mirror of Fate, Metroid 2 as a game already exists. All these developers are doing is making it look prettier and adding more mechanics on top of it. It will be very hard for them to mess it up to the point of being unplayable.

wasn't it made using a ton of assets ripped from Fusion/Zero Mission?

Yeah, I don't remember that bad Castlevania game, but I do remember thinking it looked awful when they showed it at E3. This looks good so it probably will be.

Nintendo is pretty good at getting good results out of suspect game developers. (e.g. Eternal darkness)

If it goes in the same direction Zero Mission did it will be very good.

Also, Metroid Prime. It was apparently looking really bad until Nintendo went to Texas, cancelled everything else Retro was fooling around with, and forced them to make a good game.

I assume they will, but it won't be hard to make a more distinct batch of areas than the original Metroid 2 and its 3 shade palette

Apparently MecuryStream have been working on a Metroid game since 2015, but Nintendo shifted them to another project. I guess they just cut out the Wii U version.

Isn't Lords of Shadow a separate continuity from the previous Castlevania games?

The graphics are a little uninspired. They don't really convey the gritty, alien tone that other 2D Metroid titles have.
They don't look BAD, just a little cartoony.

Sometimes people just want to work with the material directly. Usually doesn't stop fan animations for anime or movies, or fan movies, or even other fan games. Working with knockoff thing isn't really the same, and we know that plenty well as consumers.

Yeah, it was said to be from the very start. The first Lord of Shadow was pretty fun from what I remember. Only got pass the Ice Golem boss. Second game was rear end from what I seen.
