What the hell happened, /v/?

Other M was fun. Super Metroid was tedious.

What happened? He matured as a director and got good.
>>
He thought he could make metroid like his japanese animes now that he had the technology.

God help me, I hope this is b8

Yokoi filtered out his retardation.

This is just like saying George Lucas made the original trilogy of Star Wars, as well as the prequels. Both men had people that could veto their bad ideas, and kept things good with a working system of checks and balances.

But Super Metroid wasn't that great anyway.
>bad controls
>clunky movement
>horribly odd momentum
>boring progression and bosses (sequence breaking is fun as fuck though)

That being said, some good points:
>great atmosphere
>good OST and SFX
>nice graphics
>weapons are neat
>environments are varied (for the era)
>multiple ways to clear game

Are you saying Super isn't tedious? Maybe you're just a boring person. Or maybe, just maybe, they could've designed the game in such a way that once you've blown up a bomb tile or whatever, the game would remember that and it would stay blown up no matter how many times you exit/enter the room.

He fell in love with his character and had delusions of being a writer

Doesn't he make the rhythm games? Can't hate him completely.

>>318351159
He george lucas'd
>>
He started making real games instead of games for neckbeards
>>
Just because someone created/discovered something great doesn't mean that they are going to continue making great things/discoveries. There are countless examples of this in almost every field.

He got lucky. That's all there is to it. When he tried to change things up, he failed.
>>
Some projects are too big to have one person in complete control. Shit like Metroid, Star Wars, and Metal Gear needed people to tell them what they were doing was retarded.

In fact, everyone on the team told Lucas that Jar Jar Binks was fucking retarded but he still kept it in.

That's what I want to know. Did Iwata stuff him in a closet? I need me some Wario Ware for 3DS. A sequel to Twisted! would be perfect for the system! Instead, it's looking like 3DS is going to be the first Wario-less Nintendo system ever.

Based Red Letter Media opened my eyes to that tidbit.

It's nice having some autist with a camera and too much time on his hands dissect why each of those movies is fucking awful.

They couldn't stop him. by the mid 90's George Lucas's name was Steven Spielberg level of legendary.

Such a shame really

Nothing

Team Ninja's production was fucking terrible

The story wasnt bad in itself, it was the presenation and retarded focus Samus had that wasnt the intention of the script

Sakamoto had a phase, he's out of it now though since reactions brought him back to reality
>>
>>318352561

prove me wrong
>>
It's time to fuck off with the 2D 3D idea and just make it a 3D modeled sidescroller like NSMB or modern DK, or just Prime it up and go first person. Not that weird stupid whatever the fuck Other M was.
>>
>>318352436
I'm not blaming them on anything, they haven't been the cause of a death or a misstep in a while, I've gotten used to them, but Samus just feels so clunky. I get it, it's a giant robot suit, maybe I was spoiled since I played ZM first and that game was S N A P P Y

He's always been at the forefront of bad trends in video games. With Super Metroid, before casualization was a big thing, he was a pioneer of many casual game design techniques which are now ubiquitous and expected in any video game. Again with Metroid: Other M, he was ahead of the curve with his use of extensive story, cinematic design, and easy filler gameplay as glue for a cinematic experience, and now that's become wildly popular as well.

Bad presentation and execution can ruin a story that seemed better on Paper

Its about the Origins of Samus being in the federation and reuniting with her former federation Captain who she decides to team up with one last time

It sounds great till you see the shit they actually produced
