Dravenae:
Last night my friend and I, were discussing the history of Metroid and what direction we would like to see the next Metroid game take. In the midst of getting our drunken asses kicked by the glory that is Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, my friend said that he would be very pleased to see the game follow in the same direction as the Prime trilogy, while I am very much for Metroid returning to its roots and going back to a 2D side scroller. When the beer had finally taken its toll, when we couldn't handle getting our asses kicked by the 3rd level of Battletoads anymore, and when the last cigarette had been smoked, we finally admitted defeat and called it a day. As I was falling asleep, I just thought, "I wonder what the guys on TCP would think... Yeah! That would totally be an interesting topic"... So here we are.

Let us know what you guys think. What direction should they go in with the next Metroid? Prime style? 2D side scroller style? A new style? Let us know what you think! :)

For me personally it doesn't matter either way because I will buy it anyway. If I have to choose I'd rather play a new Prime game with the Wii U controller pointed at the TV when you want to scan something. Or an Other M style game without all the cry baby/daddy issue story.
Arseen:
I think I prefer 2D Metroid, but would not mind good 3D Metroid either as long as the movement is done with  one stick and aiming with the other in real time.
Dravenae:
As Arseen has said, I wouldn't mind a Prime style game, as long as there was one analogue stick for aiming, and another for moving. I just would like to see another back to basics 2D side scroller game because the last one was Zero Mission (or Fusion, can't remember which one came out last). Just to reinforce that they haven't done away with the old style. I love me some 2D side scroller goodness!

The next one should take on a 3rd person view with 1st person elements (aiming, puzzles, vehicles) and sidescroller like map on the controller. Bam. Wham. Zam.
