This post relates to: Metroid Prime
We know now that the games are not gonna be simple ports with updated controls. As seen with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, the game is getting redesigned levels, and a more traditional control scheme (good thing, too, we wouldn't want Barrel Blast controls), among other things. It seems very much possible, and likely, that other games will be getting updates as well.
So, with Metroid Prime being one of those games...
Anyone remember this guy?
I'm pretty sure I dont need to inform very many here, but if not, Kraid was originally meant to appear as a boss in the original Metroid Prime. As the picture can prove, he was fully modeled and rendered, but sadly, he could not be included due to time constraints, and Retro Studios didn't want to delay the game just to put him in. A shame really, because I would've liked to see how it would've been to actually fight him.
I'm sure this is wishful thinking, but, I would like Retro to try and include what they couldn't into this new upgraded version of Metroid Prime. Surely they didn't just go and delete that character model, right?
If not, we may just have to wait for another opportunity to see him in a 3D Metroid.
