Isn't one of the legit reasons Kiryu won't appear in Smash is because his design documents state he can never beat up a woman?

I dunno why they’d get hung up on that, Kiryu and Ichiban both had no qualms beating up a room of babies in a nursery.

CHAOS has suffered a setback - they finally fixed the Stranger of Paradise demo

watching footage and the gameplay looks pretty decent and seems to deliver on Final Fantasy-themed Nioh so now i'm quite excited for this stupid game

I thought Samus Returns looked hideous but mostly because every 3DS game looks hideous, so I'd be willing to give their attempt on Switch a shot.

Every part that was Mercury Steams doing and not just copying the original game ranged from "pointless" to "dreafully bad". They get a pass on the map, though.

The only thing it had against it was that it ended up competing with the passionate fan project AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake), which was in the works for like a decade and had a lot of hype behind it. Most die-hard Metroid fans prefer AM2R because it's a lot closer to Super Metroid/Zero Mission then SR.

I have to drive to a birthday party during the nintendo e3 conference. It's nice to go to a birthday party after 18 months of COVID poo poo but I'm also like... man I'm missing the one e3 presentation I actually think will be ok

Samus Returns was fun. the problems with it stem not even from mercurysteam or the remake itself but that it's based on the framework of Metroid 2, so there is pretty repetitive gameplay in fighting the metroids

there were sometimes incongruous color choices when it came to the environments but it's something that would've looked better at a higher resolution. and mercurysteam did a good job modernizing the map. especially considering they've not done an amazing job on metroidy maps in the past, MIRROR OF FATE i'm looking at you!!

the main thing is that if it's a 2D metroid there is LESS of a (but still a non-zero percent) chance that Sakamoto gets to write his preferred vision of vulnerable scared adam-praising samus. i know everyone's looking forward to metroid prime 4, but i'm telling you, sakamoto is the monkey's paw there, there's no way he doesn't retrofit Prime with his waifu version of samus

samus returns was a remake for the 3DS tho, i wouldn't expect it to have cinematic talking cutscenes and the original game didn't have any lore beyond... go hunt the metroids

you go back to metroid fusion on GBA with the text dumps and you see the beginnings of the change in samus there

Fusion is probably the most linear Metroid game still out there*, but it kind of had to be to nail the atmosphere and story they were going for. Whether or not it was worth it is up to you, but I gotta say after 20 some years or whatever since Fusion came out, I still remember the very first time I ran into an SA-X and nearly poo poo myself. Not to mention Nightmare.

Samus Returns was just ok. It was never bad or anything, just not a standout in the genre in the way that Super Metroid is. I'm not optimistic that the rumoured new Metroid from them will be amazing or anything in the way you'd want a Metroid game to be, but it's still certainly better than nothing.

I never played Returns but I just finished Fusion and Zero Mission and liked them a lot.

There's a lot of amazing natural fits for Smash that have been passed up. Really makes me hope they blow our socks off and reveal a third pass, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Gotta say though, really hate the buzzkills that try to tell people to stop hoping for big things and calling them entitled. E3 is literally there to show off big and exciting projects and generate a ton of hype.

The not wanting Kiryu to beat up women thing seems to be real:

“We get a lot of requests for that,” the Yakuza boss admitted. “Of course, there are exceptions, but fighting games usually have female characters, and I personally don’t really want to see Kiryu hit women.”

Majima would still work since he's a wife beater.

Well I hate the constant lame chorus of "lol, nothing was even announced, who would even like any of this junk", so I guess we're all having a bad time.
