INTERWEBUSER 12/02/18 3:42:23 PM #1:	Metroid Prime 3 was released to critical acclaim in 2007. Since then, only 2 new Metroid games have been released: Other M (2010) and Federation Force (2016). Both were critical and commercial flops. Metroid Prime 4 is, at least to the public, nothing more than a logo at this point. On the other hand...for being the black sheep of the series, MGS5 has a 93% Metacritic and millions of copies sold. Yet Snake has declined in popularity from previous contests. Does this site have such a raging fetish for anything Nintendo-related that a lost decade only makes the character MORE popular? --- PLAYSTATION 4: Best Console Ever \| ROCKSTAR: Best Developer Ever Trolling (v.): Posting an opinion that differs from yours <cite>INTERWEBUSER posted [p:913420526] in Why is Sam...

igordebraga 12/02/18 4:34:40 PM #12:	Metroid, Metroid II, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, the Prime trilogy, Prime Hunters, heck, even the pinball game, that's one hell of a series before Other M derailed it and Nintendo made it even worse by only bringing the series back with Federation Force (then again, they followed it by remaking M2). It's enough for people to like Samus no matter what. Smash Bros also helps. Metal Gear Survive doesn't feature Snake, not even Big Boss. That won't help him! --- ALL HAIL!
