did that help?

YES!!! I havent bought a wii game since mario kart last April.
At least now there is a game that I know I will have to get

This is the biggest surprise of E3 so far for me. That looked so good! I haven't touched my wii since mario kart.

Every time I've said something exactly like that I've been hated on. I don't get it. It is the truth. This game looks awesome and I haven't bought any other game for a Wii in a while or even played it really.

Wii has been out since FOREVER and you don't have one yet? ;o)

That's because it's been pretty worthless to real gamers since inception, Rob.

who are you peter north?

What about that mustache? That's bound to get some splash on it.

I made a romantic explosion in my pants. It was that awesome. For the first time in a while, Nintendo has made me want to turn my Wii on again. But, 2010 can't come fast enough.

I thought that was Mother Brain.. she better have that sassy voice from the Captain N cartoon or I'm going to join Killjebus and Tmac and help bring down Nintendo one post at a time..


...and motion plus IS the wii 2.0

i agree completely! this is what we have been asking for. i've been looking for this video all day since i forgot E3 was being broadcast live on G4 until the Sony conference and it did not disappoint.

it's all well and good if they want to rope in a bigger audience but they have to keep doing stuff like this to keep the core gamer happy still. this seriously elevates my entire opinion of the Nintendo conference. THIS GAME WILL BE AWESOME!

I think with the current economy, console manufacturers will only be adding things (like Natal) to their consoles instead of creating new ones. Much easier to wax money from consumers that way.

DeoWulf.. you think natal will ever come out? And at what price?

Sounds like vaporware to me..

That's totally a metroid saving you from Motherbrain's blast. Is this a Super Metroid re-make or something?

Thank fuck for this!! This is how Metroid should have been in 3D! So glad Retro Studios is not on board. I absolutely agree with you that Samus is no tank, like the games of yore by Retro Studios.

I'm very excited! THIS is good news and finally an incentive to get my hands on a Wii console.

Rod, I think you missed back in the older, Pre-Prime Metroids, Samus still collected a massive amount of energy; big, massive guns; a plethora of missiles; and several other types of power-ups. Samus could take a hit from just about anything, keep walking as if nothing had happened. "Tank" rather fits her well.

Give Retro Studios a break. I think they did a wonderful job with the Prime series. It's just harder to convey a lot of acrobatic movement in a first-person scenario without giving the player seizures or vertigo.

@Descender- which may say that first-person wasn't the best venue for Metroid. Not that I didn't enjoy the Primes- I loved them- but they felt a little too slow for Samus. They got the tank part right (because she IS a tank), but they didn't get the acrobat part. What I've seen so far of this game seems to capture both.

And covered in TITS!!

Catch-22.

Imagine how butthurt people are because its not.

Do you say this about every Wii game announced?

If it were on 360 or PS3 you would have to make the following adjustments:

Reds are to replaced with browns.
Purples are to be replaced with grays.
Samus would have to fight without her helmet on and with short, cropped hair.
There would have to be at least one chainsaw.

I plus'd this. This game will rock, no doubt, but 480p isn't gonna do it justice.

Oooh and big jiggly boobies, don't forget the boobies. They're a must on the other systems!

I think the real make-or-break part of this game will be whether or not they bounce, not the size.

yes this is why i didn't sell my Wii. after last years presentation (if you can even call it that) i knew they had to have something big and i gotta tell ya, i'm even more excited for this than Super Mario Galaxy 2. this looks almost too badass to be a Nintendo game. they have really outdone themselves this time.

i dont expect it until holidays 2010 since their big name games always seem to get delayed just like Sony's but it will be awesome when it gets here.

Dude, it's "jizz". Spell your spunk synonyms properly.

It's definitely not Prime. Much closer to a true Metroid 3D game. Not that I didn't like the Primes, but I think this one portrays Samus' awesomeness in a much better fashion.

This seems less "Metroidy" as you call it than the Prime series did.

ooohhh... I dunno... It looks far more third person to me from the trailer... that one first person shot didn't look like real gameplay to me, and all of that third person stuff looked a lot closer to old Metroid than Prime. It does look they injected it with quite a bit of Japanese. After this trailer, I might just let my hopes get high.

I think the trailer makes the gameplay look closer to the original Metroids. So for storyline, well, the originals didn't have a ton of story going on. There was the base storyline that started and ended each game, and they tied together, but for the most part, the games were just pure awesome exploration and action between the story elements that happened at the beginning and ending of each game. I'd expect a newer game to try to inject way more story throughout, so in that sense, I'd say it looks less classic Metroid, but I don't hold that against them.

I held the drastic changes they made to the core gameplay against them going from Super Metroid to Prime. I know Prime is an incredibly popular series, but I could never enjoy it because of the sheer fact that they changed so much about what I liked from the previous games. I thought they could have done a much better job of translating the classics to 3D. Prime just didn't feel like Metroid to me. Instead, it felt like an atypical first person game that borrowed elements from the Metroid universe.

This trailer looks like a much closer translation. I'm getting giddy going on this tangent... :P

Agree, i skipped prime series which its more like a crappy FPS
