Erp. You know what, I actually watched the video in question, and I have to say... You guys are right. It looks bad. Samus runs too fast and it looks loose and sloppy. What the fuck.
I guess I'll wait for some reviews. Goddammit Nintendo, Metroid is one of my favourite series ever. Don't fuck with that shit!
Reminds me of "One" on the PSX.

. . .but even less interesting.
I guess all we can hope for, should this game suck, is that Nintendo will go, "Alright, fuck the dumb shit, let's make the 2.5D true Metroid title everyone has really been pining for."
I never dug the elements of Prime and just preferred straight up FPS games that didn't have the convoluted map system. Might be just me, but with the amount of exploration and backtracking necessary in usual Metroid titles, the Prime series just seemed to really require a lot more time than a similar FPS Action or Adventure game should take.

Ever since Metroid Prime, which I feel was the best Metroid ever made, this series has taken a giant shit. MP2 and 3 were both garbage, and this just looks like crap. Imagine if this were a brand new game series. Let's call it "space girl saves the universe".... we'd all be having a good laugh at how horrible this looks. But, because it's Metroid, people are paying slight attention. Glad to see a lot of people in this thread have common sense enough to recognize that this game looks poor.
If I had a Wii I'd be willing to try this game out.
Am I alone in not really considering Team Ninja to be the same without Itagaki? I know that it takes more than one person to make a game, but damn, Itagaki was an icon, dude was larger than life. I think it was pretty clear that he was the creative force behind DOA and the Ninja Gaiden series, regardless of how talented, tech-wise, the rest of the studio may have been.
Also, yeah, that gameplay vid looks really boring, terrible choice for footage to release, seems to me.
