Thats right, Mario Sunshine was "better than expected" and Zelda was "Brilliant beyond comparison" yet neither won game of E3. So what did?
Metal Gear Substadance? GTA Vice city? Legend of Zelda: Advance? Doom 3?
Well and this should shut Strafex up, it was Metroid Prime... there its good ok!

I think that some of the elements will bring a smile to a Metroid veterans face, but they'd only have to play the original again to realise that this game isn't quite the 3D incarnation of Super Metroid that they might've prefered.
Perhaps Retro will have gained enough experience to try and combine the best of third/first person action for a sequel.
It sort of makes sense.
This is a prequel, set before the original Metroid game (on the Nes).
This is set back when Samus was still a weakling and unable to perform jumping moves properly! ;-D

I'm not saying you're wrong Strafex I think to make it like it was then maybe it should have been third person. But they made it First Person for a reason, and it works, it is like older metroids, ok not third person but i believe not only will the game rock for new people to metroid but olders ones too.
aka. you.
aka. you.

Yeah, and all the magazines were raving about how Donkey Kong 64 was Donkey Kong Country in 3D. It was only after playing it deeply that I realised that it wasn't.
Super Metroid in 3D would not be a FPS PERIOD.
What the play testers are describing isn't so much familiar gameplay as familiar atmosphere. This will include classic Metroid music, sound effects, enemies... etc.
BUT, it if TRULLY played like "Super Metroid 3D" should, then Samus sould be platforming in the third person.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this makes Metroid Prime a bad game, it's just not Super Metroid in 3D.
Read my topic again.
It clearly describes how you make a loyal 3D incarnation of a 2D platformer. And it ISN'T in first person.

Turok Evolution...?
Bond games...? (bah, they'll never be as good as Goldeneye!!!)
Oh, and I think there's some Die Hard game, though I'm not sure if it's all FPS it may be a mix and match kinda game with racing sections, etc...

We could probably do with a good fps for the cube though, metroid or otherwise.
At some stage XIII and PD0 will show up, but i can't think of anything else. Except metroid.

Strafex I reckon you should reserve judgement till you play it... Dringo seems to be winning this one. (sorry) :D
