there was an interesting interview with Nintendo about this game. apparently the development took so long because most of the Retro Studio staff that had worked on the old Metroid games had left and they had to re-assemble an AAA studio for this game. Nintendo also mentions they realized many gamers had gotten tired of the open world formula but could not change the game that late.
>>729406162So it was doomed to fail. Shame.
thats cool i played and liked the game on my nintendo switch 2
>>729406228I enjoyed it for 0 dollars but would have been pissed if I dropped 70 on it
>>729406162https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-discusses-its-approach-to-metroid-prime-4-and-why-it-isnt-open-world/
>>729406162>>729406479lmaoStupid casual secondaries who asked for open world Metroid are to blame for Sol Valley.
Why are people obsessing over the desert like it takes more than 2 minutes to get from one area to the next
>>729406162>Nintendo also mentions they realized many gamers had gotten tired of the open world formula but could not change the game that late.What open world? The game has a central hub, connected to "dungeons" like OOT.
I wish they cancelled it
>>729406648You have to spend literal hours in the desert grinding for green crystals or else you can't finish the game
>>729406648because it shouldn't be there
>>729406546botw is the worst thing to happen to nintendo
>>729406546lmao at the intense damage controlwhen was this interview made? after or before release? They knew they had a flop
>>7294066482 minutes is just the time it takes to wade through loading screens from one dungeon to the next
>>729406162I'm just glad they confirmed all the bad aspects of the game were due to the Bamco version. So MP5 is probably going to be much better.
Bandai Namco is the worst company in Japan.
>>729408314Not on the Switch 2 version.
>>729406162>Nintendo also mentions they realized many gamers had gotten tired of the open world formula but could not change the game that late.Are they indirectly implying that the next Zelda won't be open-world?
>>729409928it will be the same map but with a parallel dimension or somethingit will be glorious
>>729406546>a lot of comments on the internet saying 'we want to play an open-world Metroid'May I see these comments?
>>729409928I think it will be but with a way smaller map and denser locations
You forgot>BOTW was our biggest influence
>>729408753No Anon. It was due to Tanabe.So you can bet your ass MP5 is going to be as bad.
Other m was good
>>729412013I just hope they don't let Tanabe anywhere near Metroid 6.
