I'm not saying that Metroid isn't a brilliant game, because it obviously is, but when Retro were developing 3 other games which all got cut why did Metroid survive when the screen shots of Ravenblade looked absolutely stunning and M.P's looked pretty poor?
And after Metroid, does anyone know if Ravenblade is going to be continued or will it never see the light of day, which would be a real shame.

I thought he got sacked after the *whispers* Virtual Boy, I can't remember where I seen it, but after so many people were being sick the told him to gather his Pikmin and find a new garden to live in.....

1: Raven Blade and the other 2 were crap which is why they were axed.
2: Metroid was also crap but they decided it would be best to make at least one game good so they chose that and scraped the others.
3: It looks like the team are working on a metroid prime sequel.

The SNES game was one of the best of all time.
The reason there was no N64 game was that the creator died soon after the 64s launch.
People love the franchise, and it is a well respected Nintendo trademark.

Good point but how can it really be a crucial lisence if the last game was for the SNES?

It may have something to do with Metroid being a crucial Nintendo liscence.......and Raven Blade is a new venture. And Retro are owned by Nintendo.
