This might be the best post trifecta ever.

I liked it. The story deserves all the hate it gets, and it's a bad as a Metroid game because of the linearity, but there are much worse action games out there.

The story had issues for sure, but it definitely headed into the linear direction that the prior new 2D Metroid also went in. I personally find it no more linear than Fusion, so they fall into the same area for me. I think the game controls really well, and by the end of the game you're playing with a very powerful and very mobile Samus, as opposed to the usual walking tank. I enjoyed back flipping over enemies to blow one up in one shot, dodging an attack and doing the same to the next.

There is definitely room for improvement though, the FP searching sections should have been dropped, the FP stuff in general should have been dropped, specially for shooting missiles. It definitely could benefit big time from less linearity. The overall game though isn't as bad as the very loud and vocal internet makes it out to be. It's not as good as Super Metroid, or the Prime games, but it's a metric ton better than the shit called Metroid Prime Hunters. I wish the internet had the ability to separate the story from the gameplay, because I think there's a solid engine here to build off of. I would kill for this engine to be used (minus any of the FP stuff) on the 3DS to create a portable 3D Metroid game. I doubt we'll see a Metroid game on either the 3DS or Wii U though because of the reception of this one.

I have a crazy idea, how about a 2D Metroid? Seriously though, fuck a 3D Metroid on the 3DS. I would prefer they keep the franchise in 2D or keep it dead.

On topic though, I bought this game about a year ago for 5 bucks brand new and haven't been able to make myself open it.

I 100% the game like 2 years ago, mainly just because I was laid off at the time and just zoned out and played. The whole unlock new abilities thing was ridiculous ("mother may I please have permission to use rockets?") I hate when games put areas or objects in them, that can't be done till AFTER you beat the game. There were some other things to unlock in the game, but I had no desire what so ever to do it.

Obviously. If it's not 2D, a racing game, or a rail shooter, it won't work on 3DS. This should be the 2014 3DS release lineup from Nintendo:

F-Zero
2D Yoshi
Star Fox
2D Metroid
Wave Race
2D Kirby

"I would kill for this engine, minus almost all of it except the Ninja Gaiden stuff" is all I'm seeing here. Which sure, people like Ninja Gaiden, doesn't make this not a shit game though.

Nobody cares about those games. Even Metroid, it's a niche franchise. F-Zero, give me a break.

"I am not an investor" blah blah blah, companies don't stick around by spending less money on stuff people like and more money on stuff people don't care about.
