That’s according to a new video from Did You Know Gaming, which claims that a leading member of the Metroid Prime team pitched the game, which was styled after the XCOM series, to higher-ups at Retro, following the conclusion of the Metroid Prime series.
The pitch reportedly goes on to say it would cover “the moment when Samus Aran first separates from the Chozo who raised her from childhood, encounters humanity and becomes a bounty hunter.”An extended description of the proposed game from the pitch document reads:
YO that would slap so hard
Everything but Metroid prime 4
While I think that would have been AMAZING--- Considering the fan reaction to Federation Force, it not coming out might have been for the best---
This would have instantly been the best Metroid
Thanks I hate it
This would’ve been amazing!
Could be a neat spinoff. I just hope Samus wouldn’t have constantly missed attacks that had 99% hit rate.
WHAT?
Could have been good.
PeachSaliva Just give me prime 4
that could be fun
Nintendo: Nah. Other m and federation force
I mean, that's great and all, but could we finish Prime 4 first?
What
Kills me how much Retro clearly loves working with Metroid and Nintendo just kept shutting down all of these ideas that could've kept the series consistent and relevant instead of sporadic and dormant.
Fire Emblem needs competition since Advance Wars is in a retirement home.
Ok, but what about Prime 4?
I’d buy it
A Final Fantasy Tactics like Metroid Tactics would be more interesting as a spin off.
Goddammit, how about a metroid-like metroid metroid instead?
Hahaha. Damn people be copying XCOM.
Hell no
Yes, please
