I just found out that Prime was meant to be third-person, but he fought the studio on making it first-person.

That suit is badass. I have no idea why Nintendo hates it. Is it because they stole it from some anime and are ashamed of their theft? When Samus wears it, she's in first-person. When Samus is in third-person, they put her in the zero suit.

Man, that's frustrating. GoldenEye worked because Bond was just a guy in a tuxedo. It's the personality, not the outfit, that makes the character entertaining. And since that doesn't transfer into a 90s game anyway, you lose nothing in the game going first-person. But with a character like Samus, Batman, Godzilla, etc., anyone who has a unique look that is recognizable in silhouette, I'd never want to play a first-person game starring them. They should always be front and center where the player can see them.

I missed out because Miyamoto wanted the first-person look. I'm grateful to him for all of the IPs, but that is super frustrating. Fuck first-person perspectives. Just fuck 'em.
