kinda a predictions thread just without the profile betting
hopfully they get Kenji Yamamoto back to do the soundtrackImagine a Prime style rendition of Hip Tanaka's best track from Metroid 1. I need that. We need that.
100% agree. The developer team should ask themselves which classic boss can bring something new in 3D. "None of them" is a valid answer (nostalgia for nostalgia sake leads nowhere), though IMHO both Nigthmare and Phantoom would be interesting with the various visors.Look, we dont know.
I would prefer if the question was "do we want those two to appear" which my answer would be a definitive no.
We have had enough of 2d bosses that have no business appearing in the prime games, if you re going to do balatant nostalgia at least make it come from the trilogy (even then, its bad, dont do it)
You make it sound like it was a massive problem in the Prime series when the only boss that's a rehash is Ridley, and even then they did unique things with him.We have had enough of 2d bosses that have no business appearing in the prime games,
Phantoon in a Prime game would be rad! The only reason I didn't list him alongside the others is because he was previously in Other M, but if Retro sees merit in using him again, I'd love to see what they do there. I'd really like to see a boss back that never appeared in more than one game (or even in a 3D Metroid), though. Crocomire and Serris are my #1 picks! They both have prominent gimmicks (Crocomire's being tug of war, and Serris with the Speed Booster), so I'd be interested in seeing how exactly those would translate.I voted no as my guess is that we’ll see mostly new creatures, but I’m down to see either! We haven’t fought Ridley in a good 3D game since Prime 3 so I’d love to see what exciting ideas Retro could bring to the next Ridley fight (it’d be hard to top the vertical shaft fight though). Kraid just got in Dread, so I’m skeptical he’ll show up again so soon, but like Aurc mentioned he did infamously never appear in Prime 1 so I’d be interested in what a 3D Kraid fight would be like.
If we did get a returning boss creature, I think Phantoon has the most potential (in chance and in how rad the fight would be), Draygon would be very appreciated, and Crocomire would be the most hype for me.
Yeah Phantoon’s boss fight is the only good part of Other M, but it’s also so different than how I’d expect a Prime boss battle to go that I think there is room here for Retro to take a stab at it. I know there is lore with Phantoon, but also I don’t know, he was kind of just chilling in space in Other M iirc so I think he could just show up in a Prime game uninvited lol.Phantoon in a Prime game would be rad!

Yeah the Other M Ridley fight itself is also pretty solid, but the stuff around that fight is one of the biggest low points of the game so I tend to forget it haha. I genuinely do not remember the Nightmare fights in Other M. Until I heard people on Fami discuss he was in Other M, I didn’t even remember he was in the game at all.I actually thought the Ridely fight itself in Other M was pretty cool (ignoring the preceding cutscene). It has my favorite version of his theme. Both Nightmare fights, and Phantoon were also really cool.
We had three Ridley fights though in the Prime games (I wasn't a big fan of the Prime 1 fight but both fights in Corruption were great), let him rest. Though I don't think we'll get a Kraid fight, I would love to be wrong. It'd be awesome to have part of it take place inside him after he swallows you or something, and various things inside his innards are trying to kill you.
Yeah, this is what I basically thought when I first saw this topic. I don't want Ridley to return, but it'd be cool to see his redesign.I was gonna vote "no to both" because Ridley was featured in just so many games at this point and Kraid was recently in Dread, but...
I really wanna see how a Ridley redesign would look like.
No Kraid (including Kraid's Lair theme), No Buy!
Give Ridley a rest!
yes to Kraid, maybe to Ridley i curious how Retro Studios is gonna translate Kraid gigantic size to 3D, if Kraid is in Metroid Prime 4Yes to both, hopefully.
Ridley is still alive at this point in the timeline, and Dread decided to keep him dead, so it'd be nice to see him in Prime 4. At the same time: I'd be cool with him being left out, since he was already in previous Prime games, and they might wanna focus on newer threats (in addition to legacy bosses that never got a second appearance, like Crocomire, Draygon, Serris, Yakuza, and so on).
Kraid was famously meant to appear in Prime 1 at one point, but ultimately wasn't featured in the Prime Trilogy in any capacity. I'd really love it if we finally got a first-person fight against Kraid, so if I have to pick between him and Ridley, it's Kraid all the way.

He didn't appear in Echoes, only Prime 1 and Corruption.Ridley is basically Samus's nemesis, the only other Metroid character that more general audiences really recognize, has been in every numbered Prime game
How the hell did I blank on that?He didn't appear in Echoes, only Prime 1 and Corruption.
If there's Phantoon lore, I'm definitely not the dude who'd be capable of giving anyone a rundown on him... lmao. Whoops. Was I supposed to know anything about this ghostbloke? He's just some spectral entity that haunts the Wrecked Ship (and is somehow a Space Pirate commander?), and then he appears in Other M for literally no reason other than "Lol it'd be cool to put Phantoon here!" He's neat, but his lore is like a sentence long, which amuses me.Yeah Phantoon’s boss fight is the only good part of Other M, but it’s also so different than how I’d expect a Prime boss battle to go that I think there is room here for Retro to take a stab at it.

Timeline issue aside (as of Prime 4, she should still be in the process of being rebuilt after getting her ass beat the first time), there's also the fact that Corruption already had Dark Samus fuse with a giant brain for its final boss, so I'm unsure if they'd wanna go there again. The Aurora Units in general were very Mother Brain-y.But what we really have to wonder is... Will Mother Brain appear again?? Dread brought back Kraid beautiful, we've had an amazing boss fight against Ridley in Prime Remastered, but Mother Brain... We've yet to see her in big scope modern design.
He must've been absent from Echoes because he needed some recovery time after getting his buns cooked by the Chozo Artifact Temple in Prime 1.How the hell did I blank on that?
That does give me some hope that Ridley won't be in Prime 4, but I'm still going be wary. Just going to assume he'll turn up, and be happily surprised if he doesn't.
It depends on which breed of Pirates we're dealing with.Side note: I'm curious as to how the Space Pirates managed to rebuild their whole base and leader. Zebes should've been liberated after the events of Metroid 1. Some of the Pirates just... stuck around? The Federation didn't bother to monitor Zebes for Pirate activity? Can't they get their thumbs out their asses and do something useful (that isn't evil) for once?

I want Phantoon to have contradicting lore. Every time you meet them (it?), you discover something new lore-wise which doesn't really make sense. Perhaps they could even references future events (e.g., scanning him in Prime 4 could reference Super Metroid).If there's Phantoon lore, I'm definitely not the dude who'd be capable of giving anyone a rundown on him... lmao.
