But the 2D Metroids weren't simply "2D jump action games" - they featured exploration and finding hidden powerups. I am still somewhat skeptical about this game, even though I am sure it will be fun (Ninja Gaiden was very fun). I don't want them to develop Samus into something that counters my existing views of her character.

As long as the action part does not mean the "no exploration part" I'm all in. Metroid fusion on gba was the best 2d metroid and was so incredibly well done, but mostly because of that exploration part.

Still, I think this game is going to be very good. Consider me very interested Smilie

I love this guy, because he developed Super and Fusion, the two best Metroid games, and two of the best games ever.

But the 2D Metroids weren't simply "2D jump action games" - they featured exploration and finding hidden powerups.

Don't you think Sakamoto know this better than anyone? Fusion came like 5 years after Super yet he was still better with hidden stuff than Retro ever were!

I don't want them to develop Samus into something that counters my existing views of her character.

Samus is, for all intents and purposes, a "beautiful character", in every meaning of the word, as reflected especially in Fusion. I'm sure they just want to bring this out and make the fans think Samus deserves to be up there as one of the greatest game heroes of all time.

Metroid fusion on gba was the best 2d metroid and was so incredibly well done, but mostly because of that exploration part.

Exactly.

The Prime serious already was the perfect 3D adoption of the 2D games. Like mario and zelda, it was how to transform 2d>>3d without losing the essence.

If they are just doing the same thing, they shouldn't bother at all.
I'm happy for new ideas and directions...but these sorts of quotes just smell of trying to say the right thing to fans. Lets see how its different not "the same but with story!" or whatever.

Clearly not, because I love 2D/3D Mario, and I love 2D/3D Zelda, and I love 2D Metroid, but I really don't like 3D Metroid.

If 3D Metroid was a perfect adoption, why don't I like it?

Maybe because it's in first person, where-as Mario and Zelda are in third person? Alot of people liked the change, where-as some didn't.

And many didn't play a Metroid game before Prime.

Which is why it's not perfect. If it was it should appease to every reason people even liked the 2D games. Prime lacks hidden passages and weapons, Prime lacks a good plot, and it's slow paced.
