I so much want this game. I don't care about the controversial character that's in the way. I look at it as Navi. He's not going to be there the whole journey, they portrayed him as a weakling, because they don't plan to have him stick around too long. If they do, then the controversy is legit. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and play the damn game.
I know what I'm getting with a Metroid Prime game, and I know what I'm getting with a RETRO STUDIOS game.
Also, that's now 4 upgrades for the suit that we know of so far. I shudder to think we're getting more. Oh god, I love Metroid. I will buy a Metroid game any day of the week.
