In another blow to the Nintendo fanbase, Nintendo has announced their next Metroid game will feature a different type of space pirate as the main antagonist.
For years now, Nintendo has been waging war on the emulation and modding communities of their games. Countless fan-made games have been hit with cease and desists, mods have been removed from sites, and children’s drawings of Mario have been burned in front of them. These actions have been mostly received unfavorably by the community but Nintendo hopes to sway public opinion to their side with Metroid: Basement Dwellers (Yes, that is the real name).
The recently released demo puts players straight into the first mission of the game, where they have to hunt down a toddler who was reported for playing Pokemon Maroon Version on their parent’s old cellphone. In an effort to make the game less violent, Samus’s arm canon has been removed, but the developers decided to replace it with a spiked fist. A questionable choice from our perspective.
Leaked documents show that when Nintendo of America was asked which route they thought the next game should go, they wanted Samus to stop Space pirates from giving space abortions. Luckily Nintendo headquarters felt that wouldn’t be as accessible in the rest of the world.
We reached out to a representative from Nintendo for comment, but we don’t speak Japanese. We will continue to post updates as the game nears release.
