I can't think of a modern remake that so many people are saying no to than Super Metroid.

I just want to see this franchise move forward in the 2D space.

When was the last time we had a year without a new Pokemon game (main series only, new or remake, not counting spin-offs)?

the existence of the run button in Super Metroid fucks me up every time because I've already played the game before and I KNOW I don't get "the item that lets me run" until later

Hold B while you're running. I had the same issue a few weeks ago (and I've beaten the game several times in the past).

I want the direct in January but I just feel like it will be febuary, it makes more sense for animal crossing and smash to have it next month

I'm in the mindset that for Animal Crossing if there is a regular direct in the next ~10 days, then there will probably be an AC direct in February.

As for Smash, there will probably be a smash video of the character later after the character is announced so the timing shouldn't matter.

I don't see it as making as much sense in that regard - they already started pushing NH on the primary Animal Crossing account pretty much the second the new year started, and a NH post is pinned on the NoA Twitter, so it's not like they're holding back on their big marketing push for that - they could easily hype it now in January and keep the info flowing through March, or exclude it from a January Direct and give it its own next month.

As for Smash, no character has yet been revealed and released in the same month, and although that could change, a don't expect it to.

Nothing makes a Feb. Direct impossible, of course, but I don't think much points to one specifically.

If we're talking about what makes most sense for Animal Crossing, a ~5 min showcase in a January Direct would kick off a three-month aggressive marketing campaign including a February Animal Crossing Direct.

Not really. January makes the most sense for a direct. Announce the Smash character then Sakurai does his video in February with a drop of the character. Animal Crossing gets a spotlight in the January direct, preorders open and Nintendo announces a AC direct for February

True.
I guess I was just thinking nintendo would do some drops like smash charcter is avalible now, pre-order animal crossing now.
Although I suppose they could just do a seperate animal crossing direct and smash video. I guess it depends how much stuff they have to show.

Super Metroid is my #2, and I agree it does not need a remake.

But, if the original remains available (it is) and a remake would sell well and mean more 2D Metroid (it's got a great chance), then go ahead and remake it. As long as I can play the SNES version I'm good.

Is it controversial to say 3D World had not only a better soundtrack than Odyssey but also better than Galaxy?
