what's wrong with a super metroid remake for the Wii U?

[Anarchist420]

why doesnt nintendo support it? i think that could be awesome if done right, because metroid is really the only nintendo franchise i loved all that much even if the very first one sucked and even if the most recent metroid games have sucked.

anyway, i liked mario games, but they werent as good as many other franchises imo and the zelda games vary little from game to game. yoshi's island was excellent, but that was really the only game in the whole mario series that i would rate a 10/10 (although i have never played any of the Galaxy games); i would give SMB 3 and the first mario party 9/10 each (the latter not even done by Nintendo but by Hudson), then SMW and Super mario 64 each 8/10 with gameplay about a 7+ for each (because even though they had a ton of depth, i didnt find anything in either all that exciting in terms of interaction) but the artwork in mario 64 was amazing (not quite as much as Nights into dreams though) along with the filtering and the colors (even though there was no dynamic lighting, fewer polygons than crash bandicoot, and no rain effects like in Nights into Dreams), the music and sound effects in SM64 were incredible (very clear, synth sounded really high quality, and i liked the tunes almost as much as i liked the tunes in nights into dreams), and the tech quality (audio and visuals) of SMW was excellent for its day as was the artwork.

Because its a SNES game and I want a Wii U game.

I'd take a 2D platformer Metroid game. Prime was awesome, and something was off with Other M, but...it had some hints of goodness.

Super Metroid is by far the pinnacle of the series, to me, and just like A Link Between Worlds was amazing, I'd vote for a successor to Super Metroid.

if one can appreciate what little difference there is between Zelda tOoT and Zelda TP, then one could appreciate whatever differences there would between Super Metroid and a remake of it.

Besides, REmake was like the 2nd really good gamecube exclusive so i think that expecting too much more out of a post-4th gen nintendo console's library will lead to disappointment.

thank you for your input🙂

Oh definitely, it was a remake of the original Metroid using a more similar art style to Super Metroid.

However, I felt Fusion was the better of the two GBA titles.

And yet you always respond to his threads 😕

A new Metroid game on Wii U would be awesome.

The fact that it's a remake.

You know what would be even better? Releasing a special edition WiiU 'classics edition' with a NES-style paint scheme, with pack-in 'pro' controller, and 70-80 NES/SNES classics pre-loaded.

Not even remade, just directly virtual-console loaded. With the retro surge, it would really move some units.

As far as remakes, I think Nintendo has learned that they're actually counter-productive. Zelda Wind Walker could have been okay as a companion release with the new Zelda game, but releasing it ahead of it just irritated so many people and made for bad PR.

Fusion made me buy a GBA. Metriod games made me buy Nintendo consoles. If there is a Metriod released on Wii U, I'd probably consider it.

I agree with this. I personally want new titles in the series that do new things. Not remakes and ports. I can play the old game any time I want.

I'd wait to see reviews and then I'd buy a Wii-U. Other M just wasn't good, at least, not enough for me to buy a console because of it.

I played through Metroid, Super Metroid, Fusion and Zero Mission roughly around the same time and I easily like Zero Mission more than Super Metroid. Never really understood why it's as heavily elevated as it is today, and how much of that is influenced by nostalgia.

Similarly, I played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night around the same time I played the GBA Castlevania games (as well as most of the older ones) and maybe a year before I played the DS ones (save Order of Ecclesia which I played later, when it came out) and I don't feel it belongs in a class of its own like most seem to.
