anybody who wishes that the joke they made for metroid really happend for metroid or that team ninja made samus look she was from doa is not a metroid fan. metroid is about exploring many diffrent lands (and backtracking.) plus the second thing I said about team ninja is would probobly not happen because a) the metroid series has been on the low side of t for teen. and b)Tomonobu Itagaki is not part of team ninja and I think he is the reason doa beach vollyball exists. and yes i am a guy.

This article should have been more subtle. It kind of overshot the mark for me. I get what you're trying to say, but the portrayals are too exaggerated.

This actually got me thinking about what games will be like in another 10-15 Years. And, more importantly, what this article would be like in 10-15 years. Like, will games get to the point where Pokemon actually shows blood and burnt flesh? (Charizard used Flamethrower! It Caused 3rd degree Burns!! Super Effective!.) Will Kirby Legitimately eat people? (Copy Ability: Digestion.) Will Games like Kingdom Hearts have Disney characters foregoing their Blunt weaponry for actual swords and dismemberment? (Literally Heartless) WHAT WILL HAPPEN!

Hey, that's an awesome article! I can relate to the "now" marketing - I never realised how far the "just fun" factor has been removed from most modern games...

no for kingdom hearts they would add the jonas brothers and hannah montana to the cast

New Mario looks like he's out to collect some Nazi scalps...Inglorious Basterds reference, anyone?

The fact that everyone's saying they'd play a Samus in a bikini game makes this at first funny parody very, very sad in reality.
