Actually, I'd be hyped to go in blind like that.

But that's not how it will happen.

Wait so...would Metroid Trilogy on Switch mean that they would have to adapt MP3 for regular controller use? Sorry, not really familiar with the switch standard controls but I never really got into MP3 because of Wii controls.
according to Imran, Bamco has their hands in the trilogy port, presumably to unify the control schemes with MP4

I would think they would adapt MP3 to use the Switch controllers motion controls. I'm not sure how some of the boss fights would even work with regular analogs without significant assists or altering of the bosses themselves.

Are the Switch Joy-cons unable to use motion controls? I thought they had an infra-red sensor

Then they might as well be using the same engine be full remakes sharing assets across the three games?
Oh boy, please let this be true.
I don't know if that's particularly possible since I don't know how similar the assets are between the three games are. that sounds like a lot more work, but if Toys For Bob could do it for Spyro, then I guess this could be done?

Oh yeah, those look great. Samus' proportions did change in the transition to 3D. Then OtherM only made her suit even slimmer. I'd love to get some of that bulk back. It makes her overall silhouette way more interesting.
Yeah totally.

I also need to mention another favorite, the Metroid Fusion design. It's sleek, yet still muscular and doesn't have the lanky proportions like the prime version.

I mean, if Namco is doing it to keep the games uniform, that means they are revamping the first trilogy, and at that rate where do they stop? And yeah, that's a good question, but with good asset design they could do miracles.

The screen fades in on smoke-covered battleground.
A Federation Trooper battles against a dozen pirates but is overwhelmed and falls to the ground.
Just as he's about to be killed Samus leaps in and annihilates all of the pirates.
Suddenly 3 pirates riding atop Mother Brain dinosaur mode Aurora Units appear and blindside Samus, knocking her to the ground.
The Aurora Units charge hyper beams and blast Samus simultaneously- obliterating her.
Samus' cracked, blood-soaked helmet rolls across the ground and bumps into a set of orange-armored feet.
A hand reaches down to pick up the helmet and the camera pans up to reveal it's another Samus.
The camera pans out further to reveal hundreds of Samuses fighting hundreds of pirates.
The camera zooms out to reveal that the planet is actually a giant Samus in morph ball form.
Voiceover- "After Samus succumbed to the effects of the Space Pirates' giantification experiments and became a planet, the Federation went ahead with their Samus cloning project and created a clone army."
The camera pans out further to reveal Sylux's ship.
Inside Sylux's cockpit. Sylux reaches up to remove its helmet.
"The Federation must be stopped. After all, there must be only one Samus."
Sylux removes helmet to reveal she, too, is a Samus clone.

Play as Sylux as she tries to stop the Federation and Space Pirates in an epic single-player adventure or join your friends online as a Samus Clone Trooper in massive co-op battles!

Tears roll down Tanabe's face.

:P

Calling it that Other M Samus was a defective clone. It makes perfect sense that way!

I can't stay up for another 2 and half hours. I could play more World of Light but I am getting tired because it's already 1 AM.

Fuck the TGAs I hope everything is cancelled.

I like the concept of the Fusion suit, but I don't like the execution in the original promo art. Ends up just seemingly kind of flat and amorphous, I don't get much of a statement from the design.
The sprite work in-game hints at a design more interesting than the accompanying art, with an almost iridescent beetle shell shine of blues and greens that is not carried over into the closeups.

Though that aspect was eventually revisited in art for Samus Returns. I do really like the art for this redesign of it. Better silhouette, more confident shapes, and differences in texture between materials. It wasn't translated well into 3DS graphics but this art is my favorite depiction of the fusion suit.

And then its ultimate form brings back the classic scheme while retaining the smooth and sleek organic look.

Just got home.

I don't at the moment, but for now you can hit me up through PMs (if they work, I haven't used them yet in 2.0)

Not gonna lie, her Other M suit is the slickest of the bunch. Just perfectly proportioned and modernized in all the right ways.

I played Samus Returns, but this is the first time I've seen that artwork. Those look really nice too.

The concept art is precisely how the fusion suit looks in Samus Returns. In Metroid Fusion you couldn't tell it was still metal, but you very much see all the intended design aspects of it in it's cameo in SR.

To me the Fusion suit should be biological, like a creepy bug-flesh suit Samus is almost merging with.
