G4TV writes: Yesterday, it was revealed that Nintendo has stopped shipping its Wii collection Metroid Prime: Trilogy. And while Nintendo hasn't exactly clarified that whole situation, it did offer some comforting news for fans of the acclaimed series today.
"The next highly anticipated offering in the Metroid franchise is Metroid: Other M, which will be available this year," said Nintendo in a statement.
This is by no means a new revelation, but it does mean that Nintendo plans to deliver three major titles this year: Super Mario Galaxy 2, the new Wii Zelda game and Other M. I'm not convinced that we'll be seeing all three titles this year here in the states, but anything's possible. And it would be insane if they were able to pull it off.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.
I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.
Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".
With the recent release of Dread, it's time to look back on the history of Metroid and rank the best — and the worst.
Best (for me) would be the first Metroid Prime. It was simply amazing the first time i played it. so deep and challenging while also turning the series completely into something that felt new and fresh.
Worst (for me) is most likely Other M. I can appreciate what they were trying to go for but it just felt flat and played out.
Looking at the rest of the list, I never played Federation Force but i have played the rest. Pinball is still one of my favorites to play now and then.
I came. I'm not surprised, though.
A new mario, zelda, and Metroid in ONE YEAR!! That's insane. I feel for the wi's 2011 lineup though
I never used the thing since Madworld until the new mario came out - pumped for the new zelda and metroid as well. Especially metroid as it seems they are taking a fresh approach with the series.
This is big for Wii owners. Thank you Nintendo.
Mario Galaxy is a waste of space... I love the new 2-d mario game, though. The new Metroid looks sharp, and it took an outside developer to realize what makes Metroid work. Sad. I can only hope when Nintendo drops the curtain off Zelda it's a top down, birds eye view 2-D engine that it's running on. I'd buy a wii that day.
