Thanks, takamaru64

What is that smell? Oh yeah, the fried circuits of tetris. XD
Mechs with bling? Really? XD
That Smell? I thought it was shit because that’s what this game is. Straight turd
It’s sad for me personally to see this series go from Metroid Prime: Hunters, to this.
So much could have been built on that stable ground.
Damn! I forgot about this game, looking at it made me sad a little…
I really can’t believe they didn’t pull this game after the overwhelming amount of negative thoughts, comments and opinions. Oh, well, guess we’ll see how well it does. Ew, those mechs look horrible.
Dude, Nintendo doesn’t care about fans bro. They want casual gamers. You think they cared when they stop making Mario an RPG elements game instead of the crap their push out now? They gave us star fox and we will said we don’t want that controller . Still got it. Nintendo wants the casual gamer 100%. I understand it’s a business and they want money, but their quality of games are decreasing. Even Zelda has seen that happen. Look at Skyward. It was a completely backtrack kind of Zelda. Linear backtracking over and over. Nintendo saw that Wii money and it has them going crazy.
They didn’t pull it because they honestly believe they didn’t do anything wrong & want to show us why we SHOULD like it. Nintendo’s ego has clearly gotten far too big… again.
They can’t afford to pull it… Look at how many games they have coming up in the next 6 months.

I’ll probably be committing sacrilege against the entire Metroid fanbase….but I’m actually curious about this game.
If the single-player is decent, I might consider getting it.
Dammit Nintendo! You always keep reminding me this game exists just when I finally forget about it!
Gross paintjobs on weirdly shaped mechs in a game that’s not going please fans?
Sounds like a combination for success, Nintendo.
Now ain’t you just the funniest mother trucker that ever lived….
Yes, let’s add Amiibo support to help push the game’s sales and really change those Metoird fans’ minds.
Remember when the same tactic worked for Chibi Robo Zip Lash?
*Metroid
Fucking cellphone
they say this game takes place in the prime universe I don’t remember the GF troopers in metroid prime 3 spray painting their suits
Use your Samus Amiibo to trick yourself into thinking that you’re actually playing a real Metroid game!
That’s what I’m going to do! lol
Yup, same
No, Nintendo, this is NOT going to save this train wreck.
Can you dislike tweets? I might make a Twitter just to do that to this one.
lol unfortunately you can not dislike tweets
What about a sad Emoji face?
I mean you can respond with anything you’d like. You should see some of the golden responses people have for the NoA twitter. That alone is worth having a twitter imo lol
Hahaha.
One quote on this is brilliant:
“If I scan a dead body, do I look like Samus?”
Great. Not only will we have to see this game hit stores with that shitty artstyle, shitty in the fact it’s not Metroid as you don’t turn something based on one of the greatest horror sci-fi movie franchises known as Alien into chibi bullshit, but next will be getting ugly as fuck Metroid amiibo with that fucking artstyle shoved down our fucking throats.
“Why get Smash Samus Aran amiibo when you can buy Chibi Samus Aran amiibo instead!?” Ugh..!
That would suck ass and be an insult to injury, but I don’t think they’re doing any FF amiibo, thank the gods.
We’d have heard about them by now if they were, methinks.
I hope so. Unless me opening my mouth gives them the idea because someone from that team is on this blog and wants to fuck over the Metroid fanbase even further. In which case, fuck! I should have kept my fucking mouth shut!
PLEASE FLOP, YOU MOTHERFUCKING METROID WANNABE PISS OF SHIT!!! YOU CAN DIE RIGHT NEXT TO SHITTY NO. 9 AS YOU EVENTUALLY HIT THE BARGAIN BIN WHERE YOU BELONG!!! LEADING SWIFTLY INTO THE DUMPSTER OUT BACK AS THE STORES GET TIRED OF CARRYING THE DAMN DISEASED GAMES!!!
*cough* Sorry for the outburst. This is one of those moments where ALL CAPS makes perfect sense.
