Why did it fail?
>>740358162nobody wants a 3D metroid in current yearmetroidvanias are only popular as sidescrollers, and this game has shit FPS mechanics anywayalso forced marvel slop characters
>>740358693kys nu-male
>>740358949i only told you why it failed, faggot
>>740358693wrong, a 3d metroid would be popular if it was 3rd person instead of a FPS. Literally only CODfags care about FPS gameplay
>>740358162Because Metroid tried to be BOTW, all the good Retro staff left the company long ago, the project was a revived corpse of a Bandai Namco bastardization, a black was in it, Samus was a crazy mute, there was blatant busy work with the green crystal fest, and the music was ass compared to Yamamoto's earlier work.
It sucked ass. Probably Nintendo's worst game since cripple basketball
>>740358162>bad marketing>bad PR>expectations too high>mediocre gamenothing could save it
I've played a lot of good games with bad parts. I've even played some bad games with good parts. Metroid Prime 4 is the first game I've played that felt like two different games, one quite good and one shitty constantly fighting over dominance. It's such a weird thing
>>740358162>copy something else that was successful rather than lean into the series strengths and what makes it unique>copy it badly>blatant padding>intrusive side characters so tone deaf and out of date they hid them well out of sight in the marketing
>>740358162bad game designall they had to do was make a metroid prime game and instead Tanabe and his group of sycophants chose to not
>>740358162I'm finishing Prime remastered than i'll start Prime 4
