I made this exact same comment elsewhere, and was wondering about some ideas, so I made a thread! List your good ideas, such as graphics, controls, story, bosses, etc.

The gameplay is liek Subspace Emissary, a 3D side-scroller adventure, like the originals but with amazing graphics.

Aiming is IR, Movment is Nunchuk, Melee attacks are flicking the Wiimote, A Button is Arm Cannon, and the B is Missles. Z+Flick Wiimote is for Grappling (Enemies, Obstructions and Grapple Swings). C is morph ball, D-Pad Left to change Beams and Right to change Missles. Up makes you jump. And - for visor modes. 1 for menu, 2 for help.

If you ask how you'd use visor modes, the screen colour and effects change. E.G, in a dark hallway you could use thermal visor and the screen would be red and all the heat sources would glow blue. And cant forget the scan visor!

And another exciting twist, you can change suit modes with the - Button. Go from Varia Suit to Zero Suit! The Zero Suit isn't just for pixel porn, but lets you dodge attacks and move faster, but your much weaker.

And also, another twist, if you Grapple enemies, you can chuck them at others or smash them against walls, or throw them down bottomless pits!

And a GOOD multiplayer, not like Echoes. Perhaps Split Screen Team-Brawl style where you play as a Marine or a Space Pirate. Good Online play too. And great graphics of course. With lots of extra, like the ship bumper stickers and screenshot tool, and fanart.

The story should follow where the Prime Series left off. Spoilers!



And perhaps some Space Dogfights in the Hunter Gunship? 0_o

My ideas. Yours?

please dont go back to the side scroller gameplay. subspace emissary was boring as was the original metroid games. Contra on the other hand was great cause, well hell, you could hang onto missles as they were shot.
keep the 3D game play. I'd appreciate a third person shooter though, like StarFox: Assault. Dog fights in the gunship is a great idea. make zerosuit samus playable for a short time. finally, make it more than a shootem up because it was boring, actually add more features, the grapple beam in corruption was a nice start. adding the gunship is also good.

Third Person might be good. All styles of play are good if you use them right.

BUMP (sorry put to much effort in to let it slide)

definitely third person and more of a focus on multiplayer. There is a serious lack of multiplayer shooters for the wii; this would be a hit. I give it my guaranteed seal of approval.

I doubt that there'll be any Metroid games for a while but if there was i'd like:

An improved Metroid Hunters kind of game on Wii, with a short single player mode and the main focus being on multiplayer.

or

A 2-d follow up to MP3 on Wiiware, like Super Metroid but updated.

SSE is boring, but I will not hear such blasphemy against Super Metroid.

Whenever the next Metroid is out, hopefully it doesn't go too far from how the Prime series played. It was well done, especially the third game Corruption.

I would be happy with the same style of play, just add some modes to it like multiplayer or something.

I want a console metroid game with a longer story mode and multi-player.

nothing else.
