The original
Metroid co-creator, Yoshio Sakamoto has expressed his desire to create more 2D
Metroid titles for Nintendo's consoles and handhelds. Through developing the DS
title, Sakamoto has revealed that he had forgotten how satisfying a 2D title
could become to create and hopes to branch out to new demographics. In
Sakamoto's own verbiage:
"Through the development of Metroid: SamusReturns," Sakamoto explains, "I was able to really grasp the
possibility and fun of a 2D Metroid. Like when I finished the first game, if
there is another opportunity to make another Metroid, that is something I would
love to do. Of course, that really depends on how much people really want to
buy a 2D Metroid".
This is great news for fans of the classic Metroid
entries by Nintendo! We just have to hope as gamers that Sakamoto doesn't
forget the success of the 3D titles as well. Metroid Prime, developed by Retro
Studios is one of the greatest modern FPS's ever made, with amazing graphics, a
phenomenal soundtrack, lifelike enemies, and engaging, addictive game mechanics
that suck the player in for hours. Its sequels, while not as revolutionary as
the first Metroid Prime, were still excellent in their own right. Metroid if
primed on Nintendo Switch, has the potential to compete with the Halo series
directly, should Nintendo ease online restrictions and allow real 16 player or
more online combatants to face off in dedicated servers!
