Holy shit this thread I'm reading about Retro's new engine is the most cancerous shit. People talking about how disappointing Tropical Freeze was and complaining about Retro making Donkey Kong games. Do these people live in Bizarro World?

NeoGAF?

This thread has become a bit of a board meme there in the last couple years since.

So happy I got banned from there.

I see Avaitor is just as content with stagnancy as Spark is.

Absolutely disgusting. Now I understand why Spark hates Metroid fans.

He had the same username there. He was banned for being GSF.

DKC fans have had to suffer through this with DKCR and triply so with Tropical Freeze. Worst part is that the complainers hated MP3 and seem totally unaware that the Prime team is no longer there.

You need to let Resident Evil go, talon. Capcom has to move on.

That's basically true.

Man, MP3 ain't even bad. My favorite posts are the people who say that they've made enough Donkey Kong games and then demand another Metroid. Like, really?

Max Payne 3 was fun from what I've played.

I don't mind if Retro makes another Metroid game. I just don't understand why they have to when their DKC games sell better and are well liked by (actual) fans. Why don't Donkey Kong fans count?

And try telling them you want a 2D Metroid.

Total meltdown.

There's no way they are that motherfucking dumb.

Agreed. Returns is a damn good game and I stand by my opinion that Tropical Freeze is one of the best platformers of all time. And I say this as someone who loves Metroid to death, including Prime 1 & 2.

So dumb. I think Retro could make an AMAZING 2D Metroid for Wii U. Just imagining it makes me long for such a title...

Also, it seems that the newest anti-Nintendo meme is LOL THEY'RE SCRAPPING THE U FOR THE NX. We don't even fucking know what the NX is or when it's coming out yet. I really should stop reading NeoGAF but if you ignore the replies it's probably the best place to find game news these days...

If Retro announced they were making a 2D Metroid I think NeoGAF would collapse in on itself in rage.

And try telling them you want a 2D Metroid.

I'd have to scour NeoGAF for links. Unfortunately, I can't be bothered to do that. But even the implication of wanting a classic Metroid games spawns comments like "wasted potential" and "the need to aim higher" and "3D is inherently superior" that the classic fans get drowned out pretty fast.

I jumped ship before RE6 even came out so no need to tell me that. If anything, tell Foggle.

In all seriousness, though, I don't see how any of you could think I was disappointed by Tropical Freeze. I haven't even played it yet. Claiming that just seems like an easy way to brush off a valid opinion, doesn't it? I can agree the thread Comeau posted is pretty whiny but these are two reasonable posts that are close to what I think:

People were expecting something else but DKCR was a good game so its not exactly bad news.

It looks very good, but I wanted something new from Retro. #sadface

I was looking forward to seeing what Retro would do after DK. Not asking for a new Metroid game. We've gotten enough out of Prime. I wanted to see their next big step, either revitalizing another old game or creating something new.

Unfortunately, "I wanted something new from Retro" is just GAF code for "METROID PRIME 4" at this point.
