Metroid is Dead.

I'm all for more 2D Metroid, but no more intercourse ing Speed Booster. Ever.

I loved Speed Booster in Super Metroid D:

You heard it here first.

Supporting Points:

-Since the release of MP3, there have been absolutely no further announcements about a new metroid game.  Following both MP and MP2, we knew there were more coming. 

Welcome to the 1994-2002, Comrade.

-not only have they not announced a new game, they haven't even talked about Metroid, excluding Brawl.

See above.

-MP3 was not a financial success in comparison to other games in the series.

Gee, wonder why.

-It's been a year and 4 months since MP3 was released, and no word.  This screams "Super Metroid Hibernation" to me.

Above, yet again.

-Retro Studios has announced that they want to work on other things besides Metroid.  If Nintendo wanted to continue making metroid games, they would have to look somewhere else.

Or, you know, they could make the bloody games themselves. Shocking, I know. Nintendo doing something?

Unless we hear about metroid at E3 this year, be prepared to wait 6 or more years for the next installment.

I'll be waiting.

Isn't Metroid unless I can shinespark and sequence break to my heart's content.

Uhh, are you supporting my point?  My overall point is that Metroid is dead, and it will be revived when they need it, which will likely be years from now.  That seems to be what you were saying.

it is, but the story sense (though it is very little) is Samus telling the story to someone else.  This takes place at an untold place in time.

Why you all are trying to make sense of a plot from the same company that created Zelda is beyond me.

metroid has an official timeline, and the events of the series link together in order though.  in Legend of Zelda, nothing goes together. There is only one samus.  there are what, 6 different Links?

Metroid's official timeline is wrong (in my opinion) but I take most of it to be true.

D:

Without the speed booster, one cannot sequence break at all in Fusion (well, unless you're really good with missles, because I wasted all 250 and still couldn't get rid of that gosh darn spike ball creature). Speed booster is a mustttttt.

you can't sequence break fusion unless you're using an emulator, and that's only to skip Bob.

I was really only referring to the secret message. That's as close as you're gonna get.

Oh, intercourse  no. Don't start that poop. I got more than my fill a long time ago.

The timeline is straight forward, although it appears to be suffering from Zelda syndrome of late.
The major events occur in Metroid/Zero Mission, Return of Samus, Super Metroid, and Fusion.
The rest are simply side stories that have little bearing on the story.

I remember an over 250 page long thread in the Metroid board of the old NS concerning the topic of Zero Mission. I argued til the end that it was a completely new and different time in the storyline, but didn't believe it for a second myself. Probably my biggest effort at trolling ever, since people completely believed me.

...so then you remember that guy who thought that Metroid was not in fact Samus' first mission? :P

I do, and cannot remember for the life of me what his name was. But I was pretty much one of like two on his side. There were times I wasn't sure he believed it either, but still.

I'm pretty sure he believed it.  He came all the way to M2K2 one time to preach it.
