Team Ninja are set to make the latest Metroid game in the way it was made on the SNES.
It’s all about what we can do creatively with a franchise to revitalise it,” said Fils-Aime. Nintendo’s Reggie said in an interview to Gamespot: “A year ago, if someone asked me what’s going on with Metroid – when are we going to go back to the more tradition Metroid series versus the path that we went down with Prime? Here’s the answer: Other M.”
“Metroid, for us, is a key franchise and in our view, since the SNES Metroid, we haven’t broken through – as in [selling] 1.5 or two million units,”
“As we looked at where we wanted to go with Metroid, we wanted to place Samus back in the more traditional lineage of Metroid. We wanted to do it in a way that had a harder edge, and we wanted to go deeper into her story and more into this Metroid mythology,”
“We could have done a fine job on our own but we saw Team Ninja a way of adding a little extra special sauce, if you will, to make it a really compelling experience.”
