quote Epsalon X

Traveling between different planets and combining threats and such is an interesting idea. It would make for a really long Metroid game though. That'd suit an RPG much better.

Well hey! Who says that the next Metroid prime can't be an RPG?

I thought someone would say this.

It didn't work for megaman, it won't work for metroid.

Well you never know FB, it could work. I think a metroid RPG could be sorta interesting...just not as the sequel to an FPS.

hey a metroid RPG might not be all that bad, as long as they did it right. In alot of ways metroid is alot like an RPG already, you get new items as you go through the game giving you new abilites and augmenitng your old ones, geting upgrades to increse your health and ammo. So if they tweaked it ever so slightly it could be considered an rpg. I got an idea on how to make it plausible and really really cool.

(Post fusion)

This new phazon planet is so corrupted by phazon, that just setting foor in the atmosphere is like strepping in striaght phazon. The intense radiation is so powerful that Samus cant detect how dangerous it is and jumps out anyway, and the radiation cause her ship to shut down and chrash. She begins to panic because there is nothing around with any hope of rescue or help, absoultly nothing. As her energy tanks empty out, and she begins to feel the burning sensation of the phazon corroding the suit she passes out. Supprisngly she wakes up, unharmed. She lifts he head up, looks around, and she relizes her visor is slightly different along with her helmet, theres a blue glow that wasent there before. She gets up and relizes her suit has absorbed the phazon! The screen flashes and says that due to the metroid DNA in your system and suit, ur power suit absorbed the phazon rather then getting destroyed by it. Your new suit now no longer runs on the chozo power system it used to. This suit runs slolely on phazon, but because of the energy tanks no longer being used, they can be filled with a different type of phazon, plus all of your ammo is now phazon base as well. Only pure phazon energy will work. Certain enemis will relase a Certain types of phazon when you kill them, All enemies release blue phazon, which you can fill ur empty energy tanks with, when they are full, you can transfer that energy to any one of your systems, augmenting its ability. They systems that can be upgraded are:

Phazon Beam Power
?????? Beam Power
?????? Beam Power
?????? Beam Power
?????? Beam Power
Ballisitc Weapons Power
Ballistic Weapons Max Capacity
Bombs Max Charge
Power Bombs Max Capacity
Defensive Shielding
Phazon Energy Reserves
Jump Height
Movement Speed

Orange phazon repleinshes your energy reserves
Green phazon replenishes your ammo.

Your standard power beam has been altered as well, it fires phazone based blasts almost identcal to Dark Samus's version of the power beam. Bombs and power bombs have been altered to use phazon energy as well, although they havent changed in appearance. Missles have been changed into phazon missles, they are far more powerfull, eqivalent to that of a standard super missle.

What do ya think? All this would also allow for searching for upgrades like beams and such, and still alow the same feel of metroid but adding a cool twist.

{Edit} I magine the seeker launcher with phazon missiles? Also this suit it is way more powerful than even the omega suit from fusion, anyway that would make sence, because on a phazon planet, even the normal critters would be like bosses to regular samus. So this suit would alow samus to actually kill these critters. Oh. And about the charge combos, they're power is increased by both the missle power upgrade an that beams upgrade. Man u could get evil with those babies.

I also made up the other 4 beams u might get, if u want me to say them, just say so.

Actually that's a pretty cool idea. It sorta messes with the Metroid timeline but still, I like it!

Oh wow...a game like that would be so cool I love the idea about blue phazon upgrades...

Does anyone think that it would work as an online game like teaming up with other Bounty Hunters?

Not for the main storyline but for like another mode desinged for that, it would be dumb on the main storyline, it just wouldnt work. But for vs, i bet it will be there. Especially if its with the Revolution, nintendo will want to make up for the years of non/online games for the game cube (i know there where a few, so shoot me)

maybe if they added another character that you could be, like samus's long lost bro or something. co-op mode could be interesting if they added it... and no stupid ammo system that was *bleep*ed. a phazon weapon that you can use all the time would be cool ...
I know! samus could be on a space station that blasts some phazon into her suit and it gets a phazon ultimate weapon, byut you would have to collect phazon crystals or something to use it.

AHEM! Wat did we say about beam ammo earlier?! We said that it's crap!

EDIT: although.....if it's a super powerful beam weapon, then I guess that could work.

FB to Retro: Ok, seriously we all know that Dark Samus is Metroid Prime, But some people still refuse to believe that. So would you please confirm that Dark Samus is Metroid Prime so the confusion can end?

Please and thank you.

Retro to FB: Hello Metroid fan! Thank you for your e-mail. We certainly appreciate your enthusiasm and support.

Many of the details about our games remain mysteries. Perhaps some of them will be solved by information revealed on our web site (www.nintendo.com) or in future games or upcoming issues of Nintendo Power. Some answers, however, are left to the active imaginations of our game players.

Thank you again for taking the time to send us a message. Have fun with your games, and remember, the best play here!



Damn you Retro!

Was that an actual email you sent to Retro FB?

And Epsalon, i did say 2 upgrades to do with defensive shielding, one to decrease the amout of damage done and one to increase the overall amout of energy, and the basic phazon beam would be just like the power beam, elementless.

Word by word, exactly the way I sended.

a better mutiplayer.
