Just noticed how funny it is that one simple comment I made made someone salty, call me a fake fan, and block me. Sure thing buddy, sure thing.
I'm not expecting Ridley in Ravenous in any sense here (he's not in it), but you act like him being "alive" is the only option. Chozo Ghosts, Covern, Phantoon... spectral enemies. Think outside the box. He's known as the Cunning God of DEATH, why not have him be dead but haunting
Replying to @PersonthePerso2
multiple people have tried to convince me Ridley is going to return in Ravenous but I'm like PLEASE just let him stay dead.... 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Doesn't seem like Nintendo has learned anything when it comes to pre-orders. They put listings up at bad times, and things go out of stock quick (probably because of scalpers). Nintendo of Europe is bad for this, it happened with the Ocarina of Time remake stuff today.

The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct is airing today. I'm not a huge fan of the franchise per se, but I still look forward to seeing what is shown. I kinda wish Metroid had a special Direct to itself, but it doesn't have that drive that its sister franchise does.

My expectations are fairly low for the Nintendo Direct. Even if Metroid Ravenous is revealed, I won't get too excited. Wasn't really a fan of Metroid Dread or Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
Join us next week for two #NintendoDirect presentations!
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on Sept 8 at 7am PT (Approx 30 mins)
Nintendo Direct on Sept 9 at 7am PT (Approx 45 mins)
Watch both here: ninten.do/6019aVw0v

Final Results are in. Meta Ridley (Prime) wins by a landslide with 51.3% of the vote. It helps that it's the most iconic form of the four, and had a recent glow up via Metroid Prime Remastered. Thanks everyone who voted.
Which of Ridley's cybernetically enhanced forms do you like the best in terms of design?

Nin10doland's recent Smash roster video has to be bait. I can't believe that he'd genuinely think it's reasonable to remove Ridley (2nd most popular Metroid character, ballot pick), Dark Samus (ballot pick), and Zero Suit Samus (veteran), to replace them with other characters.

I don't get the obsession with wanting Nintendo characters in Fortnite. Nintendo want their characters and IPs exclusive on their systems. That's why collabs with Rocket League, Monster Hunter, One Piece etc exist. They just don't want Mario, Link etc appearing on other platforms
Since the Varia Suit, Gravity Suit, Phazon Suit, and now the Metroid have got PVC figures, perhaps First4Figures could make a PVC figure for Meta Ridley in the future?
