[ Reggie on Fan Desire for a new Metroid Game ] NOA Pres. Reggie Fils-Aime talking to Kotaku... "We know fans want a straight Samus Aran game. We also know that the best way to launch that game is to surprise them. What other companies do is announce a project you may not see for 5 or 6 yrs. It's not the way we do things. We know the community wants a straight-up Metroid game." * More inside.

FANS: ''Nintendo the we don't want federation force, we want a new full HD adventure'' NINTENDO: ''Calm down, we know what you want and you want this'' FANS: .....????? Way to run a business Nintendo. XD

I can see why their mad, but I think they went a little overboard here...

I have too played Fusion. And I do too know about sexism. I don't find Metroid games offensive. There are more important things in life to be angry over than video games you know!

To clear up some confusion, Reggie's not saying that they won't give customers the Metroid game they want. They just can't pull a game out of thin air. For all we know, they could be working on something right now to meet that demand and they're just keeping it under wraps.

As for the 5-6 year thing he mentioned, I'd think that even if they did announce far-off plans to let people know that there's a game I the works, people would likely still complain about having to wait so long, and that's what they're trying to avoid. Zelda U's getting enough hate as is for being delayed and not having an update for a long time since its announcement. Either way, give it time.

Our bodies are not ready for federation force. Our bodies are ready for Metroid U! ....Apparently. :P

Yeahs3

And to be THAT guy but we aren't the ones who have led a successful company for generations THEY have and we think we're entitled to point out how they should do their business? Just let them get on with it I trust they have it completely under control and if you don't like it just take your business elsewhere, simple.

I just want the Witcher 3 on my WinU

Lets play a what if game ok lets call it "metroid federation force flops." ok and go shareholders:mr.iwata please step inside iwata: shakes hand thank you. shareholders:Please have a seat.So whats the latest news on this new metroid 3ds game? iwata:sorry but we only sold 75,000 copies:( shareholders:What!?On an install base of 50 million!What went wrong?Did you do heavy advertising? Iwata:yes

Yeahs0

Played

shareholders:will is the game broken any gamebreaking glitches? iwata:no we made sure it was in perfect conditioned shareholder:then why would the game flop in sales? iwata:with sad look because gamers did like the artstyle and said its not a metroid game. shareholders:I understand this was suppose to be a side story to set up the events for prime 4 correct? Iwata: yes sir Shareholder:hmm?Also...

Played

its believed that the metroid games are very niche titles and don't generate much sales do they not? Iwata:Yes thats correct. shareholders:rumbling to each other look up at mr.iwata due to overwelming negative response to this bridge game.It is clear metroid is not a series to invest research ans development.Especially on a struggling install base and on a platform with much higher cost. :'-(

Reggie also was asked about a Mother 3 translation by Kotaku. He said never say never.

The petition... it sickens me. Such ridiculous reasons to even make it.

Yeahs4

So why is it that when retailers ask Nintendo for stock, Nintendo tells the retailer how much stock that they are sending but then end up sending less!? Now THAT'S Nintendo's fault! And for Federation Force... I like it!

Yeahs1

I think the Petition is taking too far. Your not going to get a straight up Metroid Game like what Reggie said because he is aware of this and said that people were arguing in the Zelda Community for Wind Waker. People need to stop arguing over such games. There's more stuff to be mad at then just that game alone.

Yeahs0

The fact that there is a petiton to cancel it is bull*notforkids*. In my opinion, Triforce heroes and FF sound great. I'd buy it. It's nintendos game and they arent stupid. Ever heard the phrase "don't count your chickens before they hatch"? You don't know. Nintendo makes good games, no matter how unexpected.
