I'm fine with a Metroid spin-off. now the petition is just fucking stupid. "Give me nothing instead of something" They put the word prime on it so obviously it's going to be related to the past games. It could be good but nah lets just take a massive pomegranate on it. Metroid doesn't have to have Samus???

I was watching some gameplay during the Treehouse live stream for it. It looks like they took Metroid and Monster Hunter and tried to fuse them. Monster capturing? Really? I mean, it makes sense chronologically, as we've seen multiple times that the Galactic Federation loves to collect species of alien creatures to study, but that being the core gameplay of a title that hasn't seen a well received game since 2007 is just awful. Not to mention... They named the freakin' beasts stupid names like "ICE BEAST!" Even the Nintendo representatives playing the game were laughing at how bad those names were.
Also, apparently, the next time we get a big-name console Metroid game will be in at the soonest ~4 years from now according to a recent interview stating that if it were to be made now, it would be released for the NX - the next generation Nintendo console.

The new Nier game announcement has me hyped because I thought that project basically died with Cavia.
BUT THEY GOT PLATINUM GAMES TO DEVELOP IT.
And then "Song of the Ancients" started kicking in and I died at that point.
