-EG: "are you currently working on a new traditional Metroid or Warioware, Mr. Sakamoto?"
>Sakamoto: "Right now, I'm currently designing a couple of upcoming mobile titles for our mobile service collaborated by DeNA and Nintendo. I know the 30th anniversary of Metroid is coming up, but we have other opportunities to finish up before we also reveal the NX system, so no Metroid or Wario this year. Our level designer, Ryuchi Nakada, from our old Metroid Fusion/Wario Land 4 team is currently supervising Federation Force as we speak."
-EG: "any thoughts on the reception of FF months back?"
>Sakamoto: "All I can say is that Metroid fans needs to give Metroid Prime: Federation Force a chance. Metroid is a great series and it needs to expand beyond just only 2 styles of Metroid game play (Prime and Traditional) and only high budget titles. Same with Other M, me and Tanabe even talked about putting some elements from Other M into the Prime series starring MP:FF, such as the Galactic Federation emblem you seen on the logo...."
-EG: "Smash fans have asked us if we can have your opinion on Ridley being playable in Smash Bros. Do you agree with Sakurai's current opinion on him or he needs to try again."
>Sakamoto: "Honestly, there isn't a Metroid character that is all-star or demanded enough to compete with Ridley for Super Smash Bros. Throwing in Dark Samus or Adam Malkovich without the series recurring antagonist would be a bit off for Metroid representation on the roster. I'd be okay with the idea of him being playable instead of a boss, but all the beneficial decision making is going to be all up to Sakurai and his dev team. We'll always be available to offer anything to Sakurai to help his convulsing dilemma with Ridley being a fighter in Smash."
thoughts, lads?
I see we're at Bargaining.
>>332726613
Japan had never respected Metroid and never will. It's been exclusively loved in the West since the 80's.
The idea that they'd ever make another decent one is laughable.
>2D sidescroller.
>3D first-person exploration/shooter.
>Online multiplayer FPS.
>Fucking pinball game.
>3D third-person wiimote-only abomination.
>NintendoLand attraction.
YOU'VE HAD MORE THAN TWO STYLES OF METROID GAMEPLAY MOTHERFUCKERS.
fake and gay
you idiots should follow that link
>I know the 30th anniversary of Metroid is coming up, but we have other opportunities to finish up before we also reveal the NX system, so no Metroid or Wario this year.
Sakamoto can choke to death on a big black penis.
The people bitching aren't real Metroid fans.
Spin-off should've came later
>>332726613
>Same with Other M, me and Tanabe even talked about putting some elements from Other M into the Prime series"
The fact that I can see this happening deeply saddens me.
>>332726927
>fake and gay
Don't you mean "April Fools"?
>Our level designer, Ryuchi Nakada, from our old Metroid Fusion/Wario Land 4 team is currently supervising Federation Force as we speak.
>he supervised Dark Moon
this won't go well
>implying Sakamoto won't dicksuck Sakurai's opinion on ridley and push for shitty Adam instead
yeah, "April Foolz"
fuck you OP
>>332726613
I thought this faggot said he didn't want anything to do with Metroid anymore?
>give Federation Force a chance."
Fat chance dickwad
>>332726613
You almost got me OP, good job.
technically the game isn't bad
it's just not worthy of the Metroid title
but at the same time if it doesn't use the Metroid title
I'm sure people wouldn't even talk about it
>>332726613
He needs to give dees nuts a chance first!
>>332726613
>me and Tanabe even talked about putting some elements from Other M into the Prime series starring MP:FF
That's it. It's all over, even Prime is going to get ruined.
They know they've fucked up.
>>332726613
>Sakamoto
Fuck this nigger. He's the reason that Other M was so catastrophically terrible.
how about nintendo gives metroid a chance
Going by this thread it's clear as day no follows the links. When I make a thread to prove someone wrong next time, I will make sure NOT to post the URL since some of these guys are to stupid to go to the link and READ.
>>332726613
The amount of effort you put into this, op. Well fucking done.
>>332726613
>thoughts, lads?
the 16bit metroid games are nice, but they are old and very simple games.
japanese developers suck ass in the modern world, because behind all the pretentious asian samurai bullshit, it actually turns out that japan is just another primitive tribalistic asian culture, who suck ass at computers
pay attention to how japan hasnt released a good game in over 10 years.
the closest thing is dark souls, and honestly, that game is just a meme with vigorous marketing and forced internet memes.
the actual gameplay is boring, low budget shit
the "good" metroid games are 100% american
starting with metroid prime
>no one opened the link

AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Is this a April Fools Joke?

Is that suppose to make us feel better, or something?
>>332726613
Solid effort OP, almost had me.
Why are Metroid fans so fucking retarded? Go to the link faggots. You know what, Now I know you faggots don't know how to read I'm no longer posting websites to site my information since no one goes to the URL to see if something is real or FAKE.
OP's work is pretty smooth, I must admit. He clearly did his homework and threw in actual facts as well as some believable statements without going overboard into unbelievable nonsense, he even capitalized on the known fact that /v/ never fact checks and considers the mere presence of a link as proof of something. The writing really could be improved, though, some of the sentences are awkward.
All i want is a modern 2d metroid with the production values and care of for example Ori and the blind forest.
Is it so much to ask?
Fuck.
>>332726613
>Sakamoto says Tanabe instead of Tanabe-san
You tried OP.
>>332726613
>Sakamoto: "All I can say is that Metroid fans needs to give Metroid Prime: Federation Force a chance. Metroid is a great series and it needs to expand beyond just only 2 styles of Metroid game play (Prime and Traditional)
It already did that with Hunters. If you had just down Hunters 2: The Huntening literally no one would have complained.
>>332729123
>Thanks, Obama.
Gee I wonder.
>>332729467
They should have had Retro Studios make a new 2D Metroid. They did well enough with Donkey Kong Country Returns.

You guys are all retarded, You didn't check the link did you? It's fucking fake you retarded monkeys. Great job OP, you just proved that most of the Metroid fanbase are mentally challenged faggots that never go to the links provided.
>>332729730
1. April Fools joke
2. Sakamoto is not going to take multiple trips to the US to oversee what the hell Retro is doing.
3. If a 2D Metroid is in the works Sakamoto would Produce it and what is left of the Fusion and Zero Mission team would work with a JAPANESE third party studio since they are in the same country.
>>332729869
>implying this isn't /v/ as usual
Spot the newfag.
>>332730082
>1. April Fools joke
I wasn't talking about the april fools joke or federation force. I just want a 2D Metroid.
>>332730205
>implying this isn't /v/ as usual
You may be right.
>>332729869
>reading clickbait articles
>>332729869
The article might be fake, but those comments are all true.
Good one OP
Needed just a little more to trigger /v/ though
>>332730268
If you want one read what I said for number 3 and to answer your question about Retro read number 2.
>>332730401
Sakamoto can go and fuck himself. That said, I don't care who develops it as long as it's good.
Can you add something like "when Sakurai asked me whether Ridley should be in Smash Bros I told him the mole on Samus' face was more important."
>>332730683
>I don't care who develops it
You should, without Sakamoto (the man in charge of the entire series as a whole) no one would be making a Metroid.
PS: We will never receive a 2D Metroid made outside of Japan.
>>332726613
>Metroid is a great series and it needs to expand beyond just only 2 styles of Metroid game play (Prime and Traditional)
No one wants to play Borderlands, you stupid chink.
Metroid fans are retarded
>>332731714
all fans are retared
>>332731796
This
Would you play Federation Force if it came out no longer than a year after a mainline Metroid game that's back to old form?
>>332732614
Nope, I only play the mainline games (barring Zero Mission and Other M). Plan to wait for Metroid: Dread's announcement when it happens.
>>332732614
gonna play it regardless, I play all the metroid games since it's my favorite franchise and while I was initially shocked by FF i've come to accept it, it's a new style and it's just a spin off
it's not like it's PM: color splash where it's a mainline that uses an old style no one liked
>>332726613
>that face
I didn't know Gaddafi was making videogames
>>332727182
Exactly. We all just masturbate to the power armor in between prayer sessions at the Super Metroid shrine.
>>332726850
They should just give the series to a western team
>>332733665
federation force :^)
>>332726906
You forgot Quake-clone. Hunters was like a mini Quake
>>332733665
Kyoto Nintendo (home of Nintendo) will always have Mainline Metroid. American Nintendo will always have Prime Metroid, Deal with it.
>>332726613
>Same with Other M, me and Tanabe even talked about putting some elements from Other M into the Prime series
you know i was on board to give this guy another chance, but he just won't let Other M die in oblivion like it deserves, fuck this guy man
>>332736375
you know I was hoping /v/ was smarter than this, but they are just to stupid to see the truth, fuck you guys, you need to see a mental doctor since you're to ignorant to see what's real and fake, dumbass.
>this year
Im want to play a new wario land or ware way more than a new metroid
>>332726613
GIVE ME A WARIO GAME THAT ISN'T GODDAMN MINIGAMES YOU NOODLE SLURPIN TONGUE CLICKER
>>332726613
That motherfucker looks like he belong in The Rolling Stones.
>>332738870
better hope Retro is bored of Dong Country and wants to move on to making a classic Wario
>>332726613
>Metroid Fusion/Wario Land 4 team is currently supervising Federation Force as we speak."
>Warioware kills Wario
>Wario Team ends up Metroid
>Sakamoto kills Metroid
Oh wow
>>332733450
I wouldn't have it any other way
>>332740207
>Being this stupid
WOW!
>>332740207
Metroid and Wario have always been the same team, dingus.
>>332726613
Just make a proper game and people will care. It is not that hard.
>>332726613
I fucking giggled.
