Star Fox Metroid \

Just looking at IGN today, when I noticed this article (above) about a RUMOR, its probably fake. I don't really like the idea, thoughts?

No. The lore is irrevocably incompatible. If they try this I will shoot someone.

Does anyone else think this screen-cap is incredibly hilarious? He's like "RAWR!" but he looks so ridiculous it's hard to keep a straight face.

Everyone else seemed excited about this. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's crazy.

I love crossovers, but THIS? Ridiculous. I could see Zeldatroid happening first. Star Fox just has way too different of an atmosphere.

<shrinkshooter> it doesn't matter if you try to play the game legit, Daz, it breaks as soon as you turn it on. You start a new game, Samus lands her ship, and then BAM you're hovering outside of the map above the metroid prime room with all weapons and gear and somehow also a goddamn squirtgun.

To copy/paste what I wrote on it elsewhere:

QUOTE (me)
Sounds like the typical fandom where they say "Eh, I can't think of a good story, so I'll just say the game switches off between the two, even though they are completely different game designs". So many game design 101 rules were broken by what he described. Then again, Metroid Other M broke a few as well (and was criticized harshly over them).

He's right on one thing: Nintendo does get a lot of internal pitches... but something like this would never make it past Retro's own screening process, let alone Nintendo's.

1. I'm very skeptical. If anyone knows how to handle their main franchises (with the exception of Other M), it's Nintendo, especially when they're working with Retro.

2. Again, it's Retro. Even if it's real, it doesn't sound a whole lot worse than FPS Metroid did to some people back in the day.

Say what!? Star Fox and Metroid...... icon_eek.gif

Ok Big N i hope this doesn't happen. Only let Samus and Fox dual in Smash Bros not a game were its those two. Besides Andros was destroyed in Star Fox 64 so why bring him back.


But maybe its a misread report and Retro Studios is working on 2 different games
A Metroid Game also a Star Fox Game.

Welp, we can basically say the same thing for Kraid and Ridley in Metroid but that doesn't stop Nintendo from bringing them back D:

Hell, is there a single Nintendo villain that DID die for good after just one game? I honestly can't think of any besides Zant, and even he survived being killed once due to plot-immortality.

Lyon survived death once, IIRC.

Otherwise, touche.

Though considering only two or three of the games are even set in the same universe, there's hardly a CHANCE to bring back a villain.

Ya... Nintendo seems to have a bad track record for creating incoherent timelines and plots.

Take the Legend of Zelda series, for example.

Hey, they (more or less) sorted that out by now. A few minor hiccups and geographical anomalies aside, it all makes perfect sense.

It just required three split timelines to do so. >_>
