i'll give you that, but then again, Miyamoto had nothing to do with that. in the case of Metroid Prime, he does. he's made them restart 3 times already, so i think it's safe to say that they're finally getting it right with that game.

Miyamoto was "Supervisor" for Yoshi's Story. I don't what his position is for Metroid Prime but I imagine it's not much different.

I dunno, Metroid just does not do it for me in its present state. I enjoy Castlevania: SOTN though - go figure (even though they're not exactly similar).

I don't want to give you shit here because you should be able to express your opinion but, how the hell can you like SOTN and not Metroid? I mean, if you swapped the graphics you wouldn't even be able to tell. Unless it's the atmosphere of the Castlevania games that does it for you. I'm confused:confused:

Well, C:SotN is a much better "version" of Super Metroid, without the insane precise tiny platform jumping, juggling by enemies, frustration from odd balancing, and so on, while adding a larger enemy list, better control, a huge amount of weapons and variety of attacks, and even the ability for hidden quests once you've beaten the game. Super Metroid is a great game, but C:SotN is so much better that it's hard to go back (I tried, and only then did I realize just how good C:SotN really was).

Saying that Yoshi's Island is the second Mario game on the SNES is like calling Street Fighter III the third game in the series.

i guess i did sorta come off as if i thought the game would turn out to be bad.

but actually, im looking forward to this game a lot, im sure it'll be extremely good.

what i was just trying to stress was that, the people (IGN, GameSpot, Steven Kent) who infact have seen a good ammount of gameplay, or have played the game are all ass raped by the game. i haven't heard of anyone at all being disapointed by the game (for those who have played/seen a good ammount of gameplay).

the games development started off bad and all, but i was never worried that it would be a bad game just cause it's an FPS, i mean, this is a Nintendo game after all.

i posted this cause there seems to be a lot of people here that are very positive that Metroid Prime sucks even though they know nothing at all about it.

i just wanted them too see, that people that have actually played the game are really impressed with it.

My apologies, then. The term "ass rape" just carries a negative connotation with me, at least.

Metroid was never Miyamoto's baby, though.

Yes I am, but this isn't the reason why.

So tell me, aside from what it brought to games in general, and just as a game itself, why do you believe Super Metroid to be better then C:SotN?
