I am really against this. Knowing Team Ninja, this action adventure series is going to be turned into another lame run n' gun game. Plus, I would not be suprised if Team Ninja adds an entierly unneccessary stealth level filled with air ducts just to show off zero suit Samus' ass from a rear camera angle. Speaking of which, I am also against the 3rd person camera. I enjoy the 2D Metroid games, but the 3D ones are best kept in 1st person. Half of the excellent exploration was the view point. Nintendo better keep a VERY tight leash on Team Ninja. I have not enjoyed any team Ninja games, and if they soil my favorite series, they will be an even worse gaming industry threat then EA or even Activision.
Come to think of it, I don't know why Retro Studios gets a lot of flack. They are an excellent studio. Even Hunters was good considering portable system limitations.
