the metroid series turns 25 today

[quote=caucheka]one of the oldest gaming series, the metroid series, has its 25th anniversary on this day of august 6th. and to commemorate, nintendo is doing nothing. no seriously go look at nintendo.com and see no signs or anything. metroid is tied with zelda for the third oldest nintendo series, and while loz is getting a huge awesome 25th anniversary special, samus is getting nothing. now i've never played any of the metroid games, but to see nintendo blatantly ignoring it, makes me wonder... (i've also heard that other m was shit but i wouldn't expect nintendo to do something like this.)[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Awesome, too bad they killed it. Maybe that's why they aren't celebrating?[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Well nothing to celebrate the series died with [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6f/Metroid_Other_M_Cover.jpg[/img][/quote]

[quote=theBMB]the gameplay in Metroid Other M was solid, but the dialogue and storyline were garbage and overly dramatic. The game would've been much better if they were just left out. but in any case, ya Mario's 25th anniversary was even bigger than zelda's, but the zelda anniversary stuff did come a little later than people expected. It's possible they might do something later, or that they're just burned out from all the anniversaries and from a marketing perspective, another anniversary isn't necessary[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]well if that was true they could at least acknowledge how old it is. the fact that they have done NOTHING is what bugs me.[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]ya I agree, at least some Meetroid Bundle or something Although I am pretty excited that Metroid fusion (along with 19 other games I believe) is being given to anybody who bought the 3DS before the price drop.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]hah, nintendo still trying to cling to straws with the 3ds even though its such shit.[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]http://kotaku.com/5828555/happy-25th-birthday-metroid/gallery/1 this is relevant, prevents an interesting perspective. And 3DS isn't bad, it just needs more games. It's severely underrated despite being an actually wonderful device. The games I do have on it I really enjoy.[/quote]
