im surprised if anything i really expected and hoped metroid would stay true to its roots like symphony of the night, it think they can still pull off a good side scroller, there are just so many fps out there im sick of it there is nothing new about them, side scroller while risking suckiness at least had alot to do as far a walking on walls like draculas curse, i just dont think there is much to be done with fps anymore, ill be very impressed if it is good, my problem with fps is i want more peripheral vision and i dont know how that translates into video language but..
i wouldnt even mind a 3rd person like phantasy star online which in my opinion was a masterpiece!
i just hope they make it dark and cold and lonely feeling like the first metroid and even super metroid rocked, they could make a good side scroller again i just think it would be alot more work than they expect. i feel like no matter what guns you put in the game its just gonna be either turok cause you can jump or perfect dark cause you cant, both of these games i like but i would expect something that carries the name metroid to seriously blow my dick off!

godspeed you black emperor!
