Top 5 Ideas for Metroid! - Wally the Legend 

Honestly I want something to do with Samus's connection with the Metroid post Fusion. Now that she actually has Metroid DNA fused within her, they can do a whole lot with that fact alone: the Galactic Federation is after her blood to make clones, the Space Pirates reform to get it, she starts mutating, etc.

JUST GIVE ME A METROID FUSION SEQUEL! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY MONEY, NINTENDO?!

Yes new Metroid please. Every E3 I've been cautiously optimistic Nintendo is going to announce something new for the series. Maybe this will be the year.

I have an idea for a new meteoroid: Making one, NINTENDO, GOD

If I'm not mistaken, next year will be Metroid's 30th. ... WE'D BETTER FREAKIN' GET *SOMETHING*.

Oh my god I remember my friend in 7th grade writing down an entire journal about a sequel for Metroid Fusion (which he named Metroid Dread). He did everything, a story that was actually really decent for something coming from a horny 7th grader (It was about Samus facing trials and the law for blowing up an entire planet, being jailed and then called back into action when the X have worked their way out of SR388 by infecting the planet itself into a giant X-form planet), and pretty _impressive_ concept art of new weapons and armor. It would play like 2.5D fast-paced adventure like a mario game would (I'm only using mario as an example in the 2.5D part since mario and metroid are *leagues* different), and he even wrote about an X-Kraid that would be fought in a 3d perspective but on 2d platforms, climbing around his body to do damage. *If nintendo ever needs that journal I still have his number.*

I want to see a horror based Metroid game. They all have their moments when they freak you out or you feel uncomfortable for one reason or another but I want to see a game that completely expands upon that. They don't even need to take away all of Samus's abilities, they just need to make something like Metroid Fusion + Metroid Prime 2. I don't think I'll ever forget how terrifying the Metroid Prime looked when I first saw it, or the extreme close up to the X parasite that took over your old power suit.

I completely agree with the points you brought up in this video. It's been over 5 years since we got a new metroid game and if Nintendo were to make a new one, I would hope that the things you brought up would make it into the game.

I really like that 1.5 idea. Maybe the computers could have been villains similar to GLADOS from Portal. Some of my ideas are: 1. A new Metroid on the Wii U using the over-the-shoulder perspective like Resident Evil 4. The close camera perspective would help with the isolation and maybe even allow them to incorporate more elements of horror, which they've experimented with in the past. 2. More stealth missions like in Zero Mission. I don't know how they could include these in the game in a way that would make sense, but there's potential here. 3. A game that takes place right after Fusion. We seriously need to know what happens next. 4. A game with a better villain. Maybe they could pull from already existing antagonists like Sylux and Weavel and develop them further.

A remake of Metroid 2 would be good, the only remake of it available is a fan made one, and it'd be able to use the 3DS or WiiU like Donkey Kong Country Returns or DKC Tropical freeze.

This E3 man, I have so much faith it's happening.

Federation Force is a solid game and all, and is more of a Metroid game than I expected it to be, but I cannot TELL you how disappointed I am that the 3ds never got a Link Between Worlds-styled Super Metroid sequel. Seriously. It would have been SO fucking successful.

And alas, 5 years later, we were given news about a new Metroid... *Federation Farce x Blast Ball* ...I would've preferred nothing if they spent their years working on that...

Almost exactly my thoughts. Nintendo Take notes of this important video. Just start making a brand new Metroid game that this video wanted just for the future of the 3DS & the Wii U.

Well Metroid prime 4 just got anounced!!!

Me personally, I'm still waiting on my sequel to Metroid Fusion. I feel that's literally the best direction they could take it in. Think about it, by the end of Fusion, we can assume that the Galactic Federation is gonna wanna bring her in for questioning, or maybe even put a bounty on her. I'm just saying that there's a lot of potential and possibilities that I feel are being left unexplored, plus I'd like a return of the Fusion Suit. P.S. 5:59 You're right, we don't need to reinvent the wheel. Just look at Super Metroid and the massive amount of high quality ROM hacks that have been made for it. The proof is in the pudding. We don't need to change the game too much, just give the players new areas to explore.

All your points were excellent, and when you came to your number 1 I just "oh yeeeaaaah, your subbed buddy" XD GREAT video, keep it up :D

It would be cool if they remade Metroid 2 in a 3D perspective. I'd even be happy with 2.5D.

Right there with you. Desperately want a new Metroid.

i also would love to see 1.5 ideas get used in future games

Here's an idea: how about a Metroid game with 3 different play styles? Throughout the game, there would be areas that change your perspective, and with it, change overall playstyle: a 3D third-person perspective (Kind of an enhancement of the kind used in Other M), a first-person perspective (like with Prime), and a 2D side-scrolling perspective (like Zero Mission/Fusion). There would be some points where, upon entering a different area, your perspective and play style flip (ex, you're in an open field in a 3rd-person segment, and you're switched to a 1st person segment inside a cave), or you're given the opportunity to tackle the same area in any of the three different play styles, each one bearing new possible secrets to unlock. Additionally, power-ups acquired in one perspective can be used in the other perspectives, with different overall effects. -With the third-person view, the gameplay would be focused on platforming and combat, utilizing acrobatics, and fast-paced action, with power-ups acquired largely centered around the combat elements. -With the first-person view, gameplay would be more combat-focused, playing like an FPS, with plenty of Prime's puzzle-solving elements, possibly using things like the scan visor. Power-ups acquired in this mode would mostly be centered towards puzzle solving. -With the 2D view, gameplay would be centered on puzzle-solving and platforming, and play similarly to Super Metroid and/or Fusion, with power-ups being mostly platforming-centered.

We do have Sylux confirmed for the next Prime game by Kensuke Tanabe himself via Corruption's 100 ending, so it could fill this Weavel role you said in the video. -it'd be nice for smash too but that ain't happening sadly :(-

My top ideas: 1) A Prime type game set in some of the unexplored lore (possibly involving X or Phazon's origins) that actually features a galaxy approach to gameplay rather than one planet. This on the downside would be a massive undertaking in terms of time, manpower, and budget. On the upside, if done right, it could have the capacity to include both on-the-ground action, the ship similarly to Prime 3 only expanded upon, a sprawling environment, and more interaction with other creatures and races. 2) A better take on multiplayer using the developing VR tech. 3) If they want to make a spin off at least make it something good, like say, Metris. 4) A 2D game of Metroid: Rise of the Chozo detailing the Chozo a bit during their rise and fall and linking some of what made them take in Samus and how they discovered the X, etc...

what I want, is a new metroid game that is later in the story line, based after fusion and samus's struggle to now have to fight the federation.

What I'd love is something similar to SA-X in Fusion, but further fleshed out. Something far more powerful than you is also exploring this massive world, looking for you. In Metroid Fusion SA-X was only encountered in scripted events, but before you knew that it was terrifying to think this monster could show up at any time. Imagine a game where something similar to SA-X randomly wanders the world, and while you complete your goals you also have to worry about encountering it, and if you do you have to run and hide until you lose it, fighting is not a feasible option, until you'd get a later item towards the end of the game the most you can do is just stun it. So along with the normal Metroid isolation and vastness there would also be the tense helplessness of Fusion and the stealth segments at the end of Metroid Zero Mission.

So I found you through the DYKG Metroid Prime video you did years ago. Dread lives. Hope you're happy and doing well!

That last point. Yes, please, just anything metroid! No need to be so innovative! I NEED METROID!

Here's my brilliant bad idea for a Metroid Fusion sequel that I can't get out of my head: have the Galactic Federation put a bounty on Samus' head after the B.S.L. station blows up and have not just Sylux, Weavel or the remaining Space Pirates hunting her, but also Captain Falcon, Star Fox, Star Wolf, Black Shadow, Jody Summer with John Tanaka, etc. Maybe Samus bumps into Pop Star and Kirby helps her escape her pursuers. This could go wrong very easily, but I'd still love to see Nintendo try it.

I'd pick your idea n.5, a modern 2D Metroid. Or, what the hell, feel free to throw in some classic 2D elements like they did with Shovel Knight. That game proved you don't need to be flashy to be fucking epic. The Prime games are awesome, but Metroid is at its best in Super Metroid-esque 2D with massive, dark worlds to explore, haunting music, and that feeling of isolation and solitude. Buuut if I can be greedy, I'd choose both, a new 2D Metroid as well as a new Prime. Both on the Wii U or the next gen console, whatever it'll be.

I had an idea for a Wii U Metroid Prime game. Gameplay changes depending on what control scheme is being used. With the classic Wii controller and nunchuck format used in Corruption, gameplay is faster-paced and involve rapid fire, relatively low damage beams. The free, motion-control gameplay is utilized to allow the player to take on enemies head on with brute force and quick reflexes. One needs to strike an active balance of attacking and dodging to avoid being overwhelmed by an enemy. Using the gamepad, however, drastically changes the style of the game. Instead, Samus would have a slower but powerful sniper rifle-like weapon. Stealth and scanning would become crucial parts of gameplay, with the gamepad screen serving as an interactive scan visor. With a weapon ill-suited for direct combat, it would be wiser to stealthily scan enemies or the surrounding area, almost Fallout-style, to look for enemy weaknesses, resources in the terrain, and other advantages for taking out enemies as efficiently as possible. Using an ordinary Pro controller would serve as a middle ground between the two styles.

I just want the Prime 4 that Retro's teased for a literal decade...

Another Metroid Prime with beam weapons not only having different elements but different fire-modes as well. Even at times, incorporating other aspects into it. The idea first hit me in Metroid Prime 2, trying to hit enemies from a long way off, having only the power beam to do it and having to line up my shot to absolute precision without a scope. Different muzzles, on-screen animation would show her grabbing the muzzle of her gun and giving it a quick twist. Focus muzzle, increased firepower and range but also increasing recoil. Scatter muzzle, low recoil but unleashes buckshot hell. Auto muzzle, charge beam is disabled but automatic fire is enabled. Railgun muzzle, regular fire deals less damage but charge beam deals significantly more damage. Standard muzzle, beam cannon's standard fire mode. Two new visors to accompany. Scope Visor, acts like a pair of binoculars on it's own, paired with Focus muzzle acts as a sniper scope. Control visor, allows missiles and super missiles to be guided.

Nicely edited and delivered video, I'm one (presumably of many) coming here from Did You Know Gaming - hope your recent work there picks you up lots of new subs :)

I've had this idea for a metroid game for a while. Samus is a bounty hunter so maybe in a new metroid there would be side quests revolving around taking bounties and the rewards would be missle expansions or even optional gear. Just an idea though

I don't know about restricting your items. A huge part of Metroid is the discovery. I don't want to just search for lore(although that'd be neat and might help you in the plot, lore gives subtle tips for success), I want to search for missiles! and the next new item! Excitement of pulling out a new weapon and seeing what it can do as a reward for my vigilance in searching is where it's at! I think if you artificially limit weapons, you lose a spark of hope, motivation and... something else that I forgot to mention because I'm so verbose. ...but great video. i want you on the design team.

Another amazing video Wally! :D

Prime 4 and samus returns ;)

I still think that Metroid's best iteration of storytelling was in Fusion. both the setting and dialogue were really on point. Hell, they even came up with a believable excuse to take away all her abilities. If there's gonna be any more Metroid, more Fusion please! except ice missiles. while it made sense at the time it meant always using at least two for every kill.

This was mentioned in a Kotaku article I think, and also at some point by Shofu, but there is a lot of room to go with the story here. After Fusion, if you think about it, Samus is a rogue bounty hunter; she went against Federation orders, and destroyed their "Secret Weapons" twice (if you count Other M as canon... which I regretfully do). They finally have a way to get out of the cycle of "Hey look, there's pirates and Metroids here. Let's blow this place the fuck up." While this worked perfectly fine for the first few games, it would be nice to have something new. Also, everybody, get realistic; Prime is over. But that doesn't mean 3D Metroid is over. They can just come up with a whole new series altogether. Hell, they could have that Weavil plot that Wally mentioned into it's own series, along with even Syllux.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten that during E3 2014, Nintendo did state that they were discussing new 2D and 3D Metroid games.

"Nice spin". Ha. I see what you did there.

It wasn't the touch screen though that made the Iron Boots easier to use. It was the fact that it was made into an item rather than equipment - meaning, you could even have the iron boots on the X button. Of course, what the touch screen did was that it added the amount of short keys which is always nice instead of having only the buttons.

1.5 is interesting and would be an awesome title. I think they need to make up for what they did with Other M and remake the original Metroid Trilogy on 3ds in a sort of 2.5d style and sell it at a cheap price.

A sequel to Metroid Fusion would be nice Nintendo.

And then there was Federation Force...

"Give me a new Metroid, please!" Here, Nintendo gives you Metroid Blast Ball, I hope you'll like it! Let's just wait some more and hope for a true Metroid sequel...

Very good vid bro! You seem to know your stuff. A new Metroid has been all I want for awhile now.

All those ideas would make for a good Metroid game. I actually liked Other M.

if only Nintendo could do with Super Metroid what they did with Link to the Past... that would be the best thing ever... and i wouldn't mind the same treatment for F-Zero!!!

I honestly wanna see the Metroid series use its story. After reading the comics and checking the scan information, I wanna see the universe expanded a bit. An RPGFPS maybe with the same elements we all know and love, but would allow us to explore planets, factions, stations, and personalities the lore is filled with. So far as a bounty hunter she really hasn't actually taken any bounties except for the one on metroids and X Parasites (and we know how that went). Pass that she turns into the master chief being employed mainly by the Galactic Federation. Allow the player to have some progression with choices that would allow us to explore different areas based on our choice. Let us choose which bounties to pick and maybe fight alongside our hero. Like I said this game would be meant to see and expand the lore of Metroid. Lets get our next Metroid with an emotional Samus that can actually motivate me through the game first. For someone who is based on revenge the games do not do a good job on that emotional crux of the character. Any other ideas?

A 5 year break for a game series is fine. I don't have a problem with it, in fact it makes me appreciate the series even more. I worry when a game series has missed a generation, something that hasn't happened to the Metroid series since the N64 era. But in general I do prefer when devs focus on new IPs instead of an already established game series. Regardless, cool video.

Oh fuck yes dude. You´re so right!

Something else, what with numerous older titles getting remakes for better graphics, i'd love to see Metroid 2: return of samus get a remake to hold fans over until a brand new title is unveiled. and if they really want to explore new mechanics for the franchise, a leveling mechanic for samus's abilities would bring a fresh perspective for the series. say, you prefer using your ice beam to freeze enemies and kill them with missiles rather than dodging their attacks and killing them quickly with powerful plasma and charge beams. they could implement a system that makes certain weapons more powerful the more you use them. and as much as everyone loves the Hyper beam at the end of the game, it's unfortunate you only ever get to use most of them at the end. a leveling system could eliminate the holdout if the hyper beam could be unlocked by maxing out your various beams. my favorite addition to the prime mechanics has always been the Scan visor. i am always interested in a good story, but Other M took a more Narrative approach with people having way too much dialog. the scan visor of the prime series left the narrative up to the player and gave an attachment to their own perspective of how the story was told. Don't get me wrong, Other M was an EXCELLENT game and had it been the FIRST metroid, it would have blown my mind. but they took a game series which relies on player interpretation and turned it into a movie, much like the legend of zelda had done with more and more titles. hearing that they're returning to the roots of the zelda world, i'm excited to hear what they might have in store with the direction Metroid could take. a fresh spin on the core mechanics and story of the original metroid games (all the 2D/2.5D sidescrollers) would be amazing. i would prefer that to any new core game mechanics. many of the older games didn't follow strict patterns of story and gameplay, they were left up to the player to find the best way to play. if they got back to that core, of exploration and multiple routes and finding things instead of being led by the hand, it would really immerse players.

If I recall correctly, Fusion was the latest in the time line so I would love to see a 2.5D sequel to Fusion

Metroid Prime 2.5 - you control 1 of 3 hunters from Prime 3, with story between Prime 2 and Prime 3. Work as a team using Tech, Cryo and Morph powers, or swap between them with other 2 as A.I. No Samus, please, let them use their powers only.

Overall I'd really like it if they explored some more of metroids lore. I mean when I played Other M,I noticed that it is the only game that actually references the fact that Ridley attacked samus when she was a child(and killed her mother),something that no other metroid game ever mentioned(aside from one picture from Zero mission)

5. I do actually prefer full 3D metroid. Just the fact that there is a roof above your head adds a ton of claustrophobia, which I think is very good in the series, we haven't really seen this outside of Prime yet. 4. I think it's nice, but I also think there is not a lot of need for complicated item selection. Just for things as visors and beams. 3. I'm not sure, I'd like to start with a big arsenal but it would be even nicer if it would still expand. I would not mind a more different gameplay aspect though. Personally I'd like to see a perspective that's somewhat inbetween a game like Dead Space and Batman's Arkham games, mostly because you'll have this close up claustrophobic perspect but you can occasionally break out of that for more dynamic gameplay, on the other I liked how heavy the suit seemed in Metroid Prime. 2. An entire game about hunting one bounty down just seems a little lame compared to hunting down godlike aliens. It would be nice if it's the initial push you get to go to a place where way worse things are going on, or if the guy releases something way more terrible to try to get revenge or something. 1. Not going to argue with that. People just didn't like Other M. I dare to say that if they'd make a game that looks like a first/third person shooter it'd be a financial succes. Now if they just had Retro Studios making it I'd be sure they'd still make it as much a Metroid game as any other.

I want to see how well they can combine the free-roaming worlds of Metroid Prime and Super Metroid, the fluid combat mechanics of Metroid Prime 3 and the fluid platforming of Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission.

This video is old so I doubt anybody will read this but... I have an idea for two games. The first one would be called Samus X Zelda and the second Link X Metroid. In SXZ, one of Samus Aran's enemies attacks her with a singularity weapon and she is flung across dimensions to Hyrule where she must use her science to save it. In LXM, Link is zapped and wakes up in another realm and must save the Federation from a newly discovered breed of ancient Metroid using magic.

Your #1 is a lot of people's #1 for Shenmue, Banjo-Kazooie (though I suppose Laylee is Threeie), Star Fox, etc.

Couldn't agree more.

There was an interview with nintendo where they were asked about a new metroid nd they had said they were in the pre planning phases of making one, that they were still deciding whether they wanted to move with the side-scolling or 3D platform

You, sir, will LOVE Axiom Verge.

One thing that I think would be cool to see is Nintendo incorporating some stealth-like sections as *Zero Suit Samus* kinda like in Zero Mission. It would help put some more variety in the gameplay. I'm curious to see how they would do it in a 3D Metroid too. As for story, I want to see what happens after the events of Metroid Fusion when Samus becomes a fugitive of the Galactic Federation. (A great opportunity to be stealthy.) ;)

I daydream about a new good metroid game just as much as i daydreaming wanting another fallout and elder scrolls game xD

Yes weveal. I want more of him. I played through hunters as one as my first metroid's and I would love weveal back and plus if they made a nothing metroid character important maybe we could get more than samus and samus for smash

i've said it before and i'll say it again: a game about dark samus' rise to power (like an ender's shadow type story). there's a ton of lore about her in corruption, and i think it would be a great game

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing another FPS Metroid game on the WiiU. I could see it running on a modified versions of the ZombiU engine, and the game pad could be used for viewing your map and switching weapons and visors

Number 2 would be a GREAT idea! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN NINTENDO! Samus vs weavile or however that hunters name is spelled with the help of hunters like rundas noxus (not the place from league of legends) trace spire kanden sylux ghor and gandrayda THAT would be awesome

Thank you for not saying "Use the Gamepad to scan". No we don't need that people, think of how annoying that would be with all of the scanning. Maps and icons sound fine. Maybe have the visors or ship commands on the Gamepad, but please not scanning. Nice video. By the way, a Metroid game is going to be announced at E3. :)

What i'd LOVE to see a game where you play as a rouge space pirate and team up with samus and be able to switch between perspectives. The space pirates are horrible to each other and any disobedients is punished with death. Why wouldn't there be a space pirate that wants out. Maybe the space pirate could be used to help do thing in areas that samus would'nt normaly be able to get to and stuff. It might be an awsome way to learn more about the space pirates, and a cool way to change up the game. what do you guys think?

I like these ideas.

Ive always sorta wondered what it would be like if a metroid game had a little less focus on shooting mechanics and a bit more on mobility. Ive always found maneuvering during combat in metroid to be either inflexible, unnecessary, or on the other end of the spectrum, too controllable. I want to have more control on the ground, but i dont want to be able to reverse my momentum in midair(except with wall-jumping) in the realm of story, well its been demonstrated that the galactic federation is highly corrupt and interested in pursuing samus, but attacking the federation would probably cause a lot of chaos for the galaxy. Maybe the next metroid game could have a protagonist who hunts samus who perhaps serves as a final boss? dunno

Your story idea for Number 2 is cool but what about this? A story about Ridley's Last Fight. He's had enough and he's decided that the full might of the pirate forces need to start hitting the Federation where it hurts and Samus gets involved through that. As she progresses she FINALLY gets to learn the origins of her arch nemesis with Ridley as the final boss.

What about a free-roam of different planets? along the way some collectibles can be hidden, enemy ships can appear, and despite the fact that backtracking is a staple, being able to jump to several different points from one spot cuts down greatly on the annoying needless parts.

nearly 5 years since other M nearly 8 years since prime 3. so it's been nearly 8 years since a GOOD metroid game.

THE FUTURE IS NOW

C'mon Nintendo, get your heads out of your asses and give us another Metroid game already! Don't let Other M be the death of the series. Oh well this year is Metroid's 30th anniversary so maybe Nintendo will actually acknowledge it this year at E3. Though I'm not hopeful as they ignored Metroid's 25th anniversary.

Miyamoto went on record saying that too many game devs are trying to make movies instead of games, so it's unlikely that Nintendo is holding back Metroid for reasons relating to its story.

I don't understand why Other M is hated so much. I just recently bought it and finished it last night (yes I took my time to get it) and I really enjoyed it, the cutscenes and voice acting gave it something Metroid's never had before. The game wasn't perfect but it was really fun and the game play was well made and felt a bit like the original 2D games in parts. I'm hoping E3 this year shows a new Metroid. I think one for the 3DS/Wii U would be awesome and the tech both consoles posses would make for an incredible game with so many ideas.

I feel like the Scan Visor could be incorporated into a 2D Metroid, especially if it was used with the touch screen. Perhaps it could happen automatically with enemies, so long as you wait for the scan to finish before blasting them, but things in the environment need to be scanned manually. Maybe it would be used in a similar manner to Super Metroid's X-ray Scope. Again, with the use of the touch screen, I could see a 2D Scan Visor work. Didn't Another Metroid 2 Remake do this?

I have something I think the next Metroid game's story should do: clean up the mess that Other M left behind! Maybe even retcon it!

Wally The Legend I've been dreaming of a new metroid game since other m: Why not incorporate the X into the Prime games(or visa versa)? You're first idea would fall perfectly with that! Imagine being hunted by Sa-X in a 3D-like perspective. Or have Dark samus, Sa-X and Samus fight it out?! Like, the Sa-X in the explosive could have lived and Dark samus could have been copied by the X because maybe the X can consume phazon... I don't know, I'm just spit balling at this point. Point is, the X and phazon would play a nice role together...

The day a new Metroid for WiiU comes out is the day I buy the system.

While Nintendo doesn't make a 2D Metroid I'm playing. Ori and the Blind Forest, Guacamelee, Teslagrad, Rogue Legacy, Dust an Elysian Tail, Volgarr the Viking, Shantae, Spelunky, Valdis Story Abyssal City, La-Mulana. Because you know, Nintendo doesn't see a market ¬_¬ Hell I even got Fusion again recently just to replay it!

Great video and i agree with your wish list =D

Something else:Beam customization too. Not just in super metroid and metroid zero mission cut content!

On my channel I made more then one video talking about my ideas for a future Metroid game, but here are the abridge versions. The first one is another remake of the first game but in the style of the Prime games, I thing that would be great and seeing Zebes in 3D would be awesome. The next idea I had was another game that had back story, but this time it was on the Chozo, you find out that they are not from this dimension/galaxy and you travel to there home world, finding what they based the metroids on and see is there history.

3DS Metroid... 3DS Metroid... *PLEASE* give us a 3DS Metroid, Nintendo...

I'm pretty certain miyamoto or someone implied that something metroid related is in the works

Now, I became a fan because of Prime (so what do I know?), but I'd really like them to stick to the FPS perspective. Also, they really ought to keep the scan visor.

They should reboot the series as a 3rd person survival horror.

Since Nintendo seems to consider Other M a success and Prime 1-3 the less important games (see their respective treatments in Smash Bros Brawl and Wii U), I'm kinda scared as to what the future holds for my favorite series...

mech suit like gohr and sequences where you actually get to pilot the gunship

you like taking items away..... Well, I will just say one thing: Other M.

What about a game like Tomba? That games is really unique how it combines sidescrolling with the zed axis.

i actually loved the gameplay of metroid other M, they could make another shot with that gameplay for the 3ds :D

Nintendo, why won't you take my money for more Metroid titles?

I think at this point i would take a Super Metroid Zero Mission remastered with extended story. Kind of like how Super metroid is Metroid but with more, then Zero mission is Super Metroid with more, a Remastered would be Zero mission with more

Not to be greedy, but I'm hoping we get both a new Prime game and a new 2D game (or Metroid II remake, or even just a licensing and distribution of AM2R; I'm not picky, Nintendo!) next year, like we did in 2002 and 2004.
