"It's Zelda for Grown-ups" - IGN
It's this kind of comment that makes me want to headbutt people.
It's on the advert for BG&E, it's on the inside cover of NGC, among other places. You'd think IGN had more sense..

No foreign rubbish in my league :P
The lock on system may remove skill... but Samus is a bounty hunter... why don't we have like a multiplayer hunting idea... it sounds great... scanning footprints... judging where your opponent is.
It would be fun.
Prime is great but it's not sunshine, wind waker or mario kart... 3 of the most fun games I've ever played.

Fair enough. Your opinion, as controversial as it might be, can't be argued with. :-)

What's so "adult" about Metroid?
Other than Prime, they were just platformers, when the most adult a game could possibly get was Mortal Kombat with it's "horrible violence".
And even Prime's not that far above Orcarina of Time really.
The controls are simplified so even a beginner can get to grips with it.

What do you mean?
What could it possibly have lost in having a third person mode tacked on?
Infact, it would've set the world more alight because in addition to everything that made Prime great, there would finally be a decent "adult" (as in not cute and cuddly - not everyone's cup of tea) platformer to steal all of Tombraider's Thunder.

Maybe.
In first person mode, lock on system might take out some of the skill in it. In a third person mode, the lack of aiming would just allow the game to concentrate on manauvering making a new type of multiplayer deathmatch...
A sort of 3D Smash Brothers if you will...
Think about it! :-)

There's a help option?
I'm defending Wind Waker and Sunshine so much because they're my favourite gamecube game by a long shot... them and Mario Kart are the Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal of my game collection...
I never got Nintendo consoles for games like Metroid, if these adult orietntated titles don't have multiplayer I tend not to enjoy them... I prefer the care free style of Wind Waker and Sunshine.
Agreed Stafio (whatever) if Metroid was in third person I would have enjoyed it more... on the other hand it wouldn't have set the gaming world alike.
MP with a multiplayer on the other hand is something to look forward too.
