Metroid Prime

post stuff about this sweet game

They cancelled it for GameCube.. they just anounced it a few hours ago in a press release in Seattle. Microsoft bought the rights to it and it will be Xbox exclusive now.

I still can't believe it... man it seems like Microsoft is buying out every game.

i highly doupt that
btw, where did u get this info?

I made it up =P

really? good.

Considering it was developed by Retro Studios, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nintendo, the idea of Microsoft buying the rights to the game is impossible.

Almost as impossible as the idea of Rare ever being sold...

Rare was not a subsidiary of Nintendo. Nintendo had a contract with them, not ownership. All of Rare's creations (aside from Donkey Kong and all characters contained therein, and Star Fox) were owned by Rare, and it is their right to do with them as they choose. The entire Metroid series and Retro Studios are owned by Nintendo. If the game was purchased by Microsoft, it would be at Nintendo's discretion.

Blah! Nothing is impossible now-a-days. Microsoft making video game systems. Sega making games for every damn system!? Square leaving Nintendo!? Crash Bandicoot on X Box!? Sonic on Gamecube!? Rare leaves Nintendo for Microsoft!? Dood, anything can happen at this point. Yeah that would definitely be unlikely, but Metriod Prime is the only reason I'd buy a GameCube. I love Metriod! *Goes to play Super Metriod*

Man, life would be alot easier without the X-Box. Bill should stick to Windows.

Raiden, you forgot to mention Square making games for Nintendo again, Eidos making games for Nintendo (including the Legacy of Kain series) and Nintendo gaining exclusive rights to the Resident Evil series.

Yeah, I saw some screenshots for the next 2 final fantasy games coming out for cube

Oh great... expect Moogles in the next Super Smash Bros game...

Not possible. Nintendo doesn't own the rights to the characters.

how about we start takling about metriod prime now?

Good idea.

Is it a first person shooter, because thats what I saw in the screenshots.

It's going to rule. Most of my friends are really against it because it's from a 1st person perspective, but I think it's far more interesting than if they just made it 3rd person, or (heaven forbid) a side-scroller.

NOO! Dont put horrible images in my mind.

Side scrollers were awesome back in the day. Hell, all of the old side-scrollers are still awesome. NEW ones, on the other hand, just suck. Anyone ever play Mischief Makers? AWFUL. I'm glad Metroid Prime is 1st person. It looks incredible.
