Why hasn't Saburo revealed Tienshinhan yet?
(On a serious note, where was that trophy revealed on Friday from? Kid Icarus Uprising? One of the Fire Emblems?)
There's also stuff like frozen Ridley and Nightmare. And yeah, Other M retcons a lot of stuff, but then again so did Zero Mission. And I'm not disagreeing about it being terrible, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore it.Nothing's released because Other M killed the franchise, or at least put it in a coma. And it's still the latest-release game in the franchise; Fusion may have set Adam Malkovich events up, but they weren't deliberately referring to Other M. They just happened to go with those ideas for Other M. It's basically a canon retcon.
Please show me on the puppet where the bad man touched you.Nothing's released because Other M killed the franchise, or at least put it in a coma.

The game isn't that bad (definitely not the best the series has to offer, but still pretty decent, if not confusing) until you really start paying attention to what the characters are saying and start reading developer interviews. Then it just becomes horrible, really.I don't know why, but I don't hate Other M. And I'm a reeeeally huge Metroid fan. I know the writing was eh, but I don't think it ruined Samus, or the franchise. I actually rather enjoyed it. It's definitely a flawed game in more ways than one, but I find myself going back to it now and then to 100% for a good time.
*shrugs*
I mean, that's all well and good, but the story of Other M (which is arguably the main focus of the game) is essentially a love letter for abusive relationships. That's the problem people have with it, not the gameplay.I've beaten Metroid I (well, Zero Mission), III and IV, plus Hunters. I played a bit of Prime I and III (didn't really like 'em), and some of Metroid II.
I love Other M. *shrug* But again - I prefer the 2D games, and Other M is like that but in... well, 3D (also minus some exploration, but still).

The interviews help, yeah. You can look up some articles about it, it's usually a good read and there's a lot of it. But, I mean, as an example, he shoots her at one point, and she spends the rest of the game thanking him. He tells her he needed to do it, and she believes him, but in the logic of the game, he didn't. He just almost gets her killed, which nobody ever mentions as a bad idea again. It wouldn't be bad if Samus was supposed to be an unreliable narrator or like tragic character or whatever, but nothing about the framing or music in these scenes or any others would make you think that's the case. In all honesty a lot of it is probably a coincidence due to incompetence in part of the writers, but the amount of care that was put into the cutscenes makes you wonder if it's not there on purpose. It's just... uncomfortable. In any case, I highly recommend reading up on it if you're ever bored/want to know what the fuss is about. Even if you still don't agree, it's interesting!Uuuuuh, I respectfully disagree. We're talking about Adam and Samus right? Maybe those developer interviews will shed some light on it? Otherwise I don't see much wrong with the plot other than it being rather by-the-numbers.

The three most important Star Fox characters were already in Brawl and I hope it stays the same with SSB4.
On a Monday?Veteran Reveal tonight.
What will it be guys!
All of the above

Off the top of my head, here's a good to-the-point one, and a good "I have so much free time I want to spend days reading someone complain about a video game" one:Huh, I guess I never thought about that. If you have some links handy I'd love to read up on it!
She says the last time she encountered Ridley was at the end of Zero Mission. And I'm pretty sure they do, there's always a warning that it might not be canon.
Frank West reveal tonight.
What kind of maricle are you looking for?!
The only kind of maricle that Sakurai can provide! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
That's my bad. I must have misremembered. Maybe I was thinking of how her freakout only makes sense if this is the third time she's seen Ridley, mixed with some Sakamoto comments?Well that is not true because Samus fights Ridley in Super Metroid, which takes place after both Zero Mission and the Prime trilogy. Super Metroid is most certainly canon to Other M (the baby, et cetera).
I only believe in Marthicles.

I played the first 5 mins and discovered it was terrible so I stopped playing. What does she say that suggests Primes didn't happen? And why don't wiki pages reflect this?
Eliwood is better in every possible way.
Elincia was better in every possible way.
Other M seems to ignore Prime, sure. At the same time, it makes its story more reasonable. Especially the Ridley scene. Everyone likes to talk about how Samus had seen Ridley "so many times" up to that point, but now she hadn't.
