    I don’t care if there’s a motorcycle. I didn’t need 10 shots showcasing it from different angles. Whatever. Imagine if a trailer showed the Spider Ball for 10 shots. Boring.

    This doesn’t look good… I hope I am wrong but definitely not buying day one.

      Yeah, the bike section looked horribly boring.

      And even though there’s some classic 1st-person gameplay, we all know Nintendo is going to push for tons of traversal on the stupid motorcycle, which will kill the vibe for the whole game.

    Phew im glad they showed her get off that bike Im not sure I’m confident an open world metroid would work well. But who knows, maybe it’ll be a Breath of the Wild moment for the series.

      At least Zelda was already pretty close to open world with most of their entries. Metroidvanias don’t really work as open worlds as a genre

        It could. I couldn’t make it, but someone could make a banging open world metroid.

        I doubt it’ll be this game.

      I’m skeptical as well but they already restarted the game once when the original development team wasn’t producing a quality game. I suspect at worst it won’t be the worst game ever but it would be subpar for a Metroid game. Nintendo is usually pretty good at taking chances and making it work. Hell, I never thought Metroid could work in 3D and they proved me wrong. I guess my main issue is that Metroid traditionally is a cramped corridor style game, the opposite of an open world.

        After Dread im skeptical Nintendo actually cares anyways. Open world Metroid on two morphballs? I’m sure corporate loved the idea.
