Are you basing this argument of yours on what is printed in the back of the box?
Dai Grepher: Try reading the presentation and finding out for yourself.

Somthing tells me english is not your first language or you lack reading comprehension & debating skills. You completly ignore any comments made by restating your same opinion with no facts to disprove what is being said.
Dai Grepher: I would not take that as an insult even if it were coming from someone who knows how to use punctuation or knew how to spell. I countered what you said with facts. So if you have no facts to counter mine, then simply admit that I am right and move on with your life.

You really need a ****ing life man.
Dai Grepher: My life is so great that I can actually use a few hours of it to do what I enjoy. I made this presentation for fun, so I think you should have fun discussing it. If proving you wrong is your problem, then you should agree with me so that from that point on you will be right.
subbie said:
Also hermegildo makes a good point. I work in the games industry for a 3rd party studio. 90% of the time the studio/group developing a game does not design & state what goes on the back of a box. Marketing does.
Dai Grepher: Hermegildo makes no point at all. He thinks I am basing the entire argument on the box, and I am not. The fact that this is Samus' first mission is stated in the commercial and on Zero Mission's official website. The rest of the argument is based on the game facts, and the director's own words saying that it is not a remake of storyline.
subbie said:
Also if it was a prequal, they would not need to state "the full story", "The full story" states that the first time they did not tell the whole story.
Dai Grepher: No it doesn't. That states that the story being told is being told completely, lacking nothing. You are just making up excuses.
LoneSage said:
If you really want to delve into it, did you really think Zero Mission would have been Samus' first mission as a bounty hunter?
Dai Grepher: Yes. That is what the official sources state.
LoneSage said:
Why the hell would you, then? Before she hit the metroid scene, she obviously must have done numerous minor jobs as a hunter compared to her metroid mission.
Dai Grepher: Wrong. The commercial states that Zero Mission is her first mission as an intergalactic bounty hunter. Metroid is not.
LoneSage said:
Nintendo isn't referring to her 'numerous missions' as Zero Mission, they're talking about the shit she did before she gained her rep as a bounty hunter that would give her the metroid job.
Dai Grepher: If you would read the manual, it states that her prior missions were bounty-hunting mission.
LoneSage said:
I think I'll stop right there. If Nintendo calls ZM a remake and you still don't believe it, drink some oil and swallow a match. It'll do everyone a favor.
Dai Grepher: Nintendo has not called it a remake.

A Complete Retelling of the Story. In fact, the First sentence on the Back of the Box Says this, and I Quote: "The First Metroid game just Scratched the Surface of the Cataclysmic events on Planet Zebes, and at long last the rest of the tale has come to light." let us look at that Sentence Shall we?
Dai Grepher: I am going to explain it to you since your idea of what it means is completely baseless. It says, Metroid barely revealed anything about "the cataclysmic events on Zebes". What are cataclysmic events? Events that caused a great disaster that changed the social structure of a society or caused great devastation. Those events are the events that lead to the extinction of the Chozo on Zebes. Zero Mission tells the rest of that tale by filling us in on what happened. Nowhere in that statement does it say that we are being told the rest of the Metroid story. You have no evidence and no sense.
Stitch Faced Angel said:
Looking at, "at long last the rest of the tale". Ok, rest of the tale. the REST of the Tale. Not the "Proir Events," not "before Mother Brain controled Zebes", and Sure has hell not "her first Rookie mission." The game was made to fill in more of Samus's origin,
Dai Grepher: "Samus' origin" is a prior event, which you obviously did not notice.
Stitch Faced Angel said:
because it has been unfinshed for years, and Back when the first one was made, they Did not use Ass Loads of Story telling. There was not enough Room on the Carts of the NES at that time to write a fucking novel. They added more to get that good ol' "Super Metroid Feel". They EXPANDED on an Old favorite. Not Told a Prequel, Finished the Same Story that Was told 20 some odd years ago.
Dai Grepher: Like I said, the box does not say that they finished Metroid's story, just that they finished a story about events that Metroid only barely told of. So post some facts or stop your babbling.
Stitch Faced Angel said:
And They State in the Instruction manual that Samus had finished NUMEROUS Missions. That means that She could Take a fly off your nose from 500 yards, and not hurt one single Skin Cell if she wanted too, because she is THAT good. So I highly doubt that this is a Prequel just Based off that fact alone.
Dai Grepher: That is my point. The manual tells Metroid's story, and it states that Samus completed numerous missions before Metroid. Zero Mission is the first of those missions. That is undeniable proof that Zero Mission is a prequel.
Stitch Faced Angel said:
Metroid is abridged. Zero mission is Unabridged. And when you make a novel unabridged, it is considered a rewrite at times. Or, to use another Word: REMAKE!
Dai Grepher: Then prove it. Nintendo stated that it was not a remake. The director of the game said it was not a remake. The information in the games prove that it is a prequel. So prove it is a remake or make yourself scarce, because I am tired or reading senseless chatter.
