I hope they end up moving Sakamoto far away from the next Metroid game.
I have a feeling he'll get more involved on the next one, thinking that he didn't convey his vision right and that's why Other M flopped.
it's the weirdest thing
because he's been there since the beginning, so you figure hey, maybe this guy is why all the metroid games are at least pretty good
nope it turns out he's actually an insane misogynist

It might be because, up until Other M, the only times Samus talked were in text in both Fusion and Super Metroid. It was well done in Fusion, however, every other Metroid game had no talking and most of the story conveyed through cut scenes and journal entries.
His view of Samus differed vastly from the players' because it was left pretty open.
That and it seems that a tsundere character is popular in Japan now-a-days? That's what the kids like, right?*
*Probably the line of thinking as well.

It's not like Kevin Michael Richardson is hurting for work. Hell, they could probably bring him back voicing a new character in two episodes. And if an Autobot actually died--aside from Cliffjumper, who let's face it, the Rock ain't doing a weekly kid's show, no shock there--it might be a sign that the writers finally found their balls again.

If the GameCube hadn't used those stupid proprietary discs and played DVDs like the ps2 did, it might be a different ballgame. The ps2 was kind of instrumental in kicking off mainstream DVD usage.
In fairness, the PlayStation 2 and 3 were the only systems to play their respective formats out of the box, because Sony was trying to do just what you describe. In the case of the Xbox and 360, those required external proprietary devices to play DVD and HD-DVD.

He bounces back and forth, depending on what he thinks an entry needs. Hence the change from Fusion to Zero Mission to Other M. I'll have to dig for the interview, but I have a feeling that if he did do another, it would be closer to the Metroid norm.
During the development of Metroid Fusion, I took into consideration the fact that we’d have players who would be picking up a Metroid title for the first time and tried to make the game easy for them. Nine years had passed since the release of its predecessor, Super Metroid on the SNES, and I figured the type of gameplay in Metroid (wandering around, lost, while searching for secret passages) would be pretty rough on beginners. That’s why I instead chose to emphasize the dramatic aspects and use the game’s story to motivate people to keep playing. I also adjusted the degree of difficulty by restricting the players’ movements, thereby ensuring the game wouldn’t get too hard. In contrast, Metroid: Zero Mission, which we’re currently developing, is a remake based on the original Metroid, so it brings the series’ original style of gameplay closer to the surface.
I experimented with putting some monologues by Samus in Metroid: Fusion in order to put some importance on the drama, but I still don’t know whether it’s right to be taking the series in that direction. I think the true fun of Metroid lies in spending time searching for secret passages and getting yourself hopelessly lost. That’s why I started out by choosing to emphasize the story in Fusion, and now I’m showcasing Metroid’s roots in Zero Mission. If I don’t continue releasing games that feature Metroid’s origins and games that feature Metroid’s story, I won’t get any ideas about where to go next.
Even while we were making of Super Metroid for the SNES, I stuck stubbornly to my decision that there wouldn’t be any dialogue, no matter what. I have to stick to my guns for Zero Mission, as well. It’s too easy to have players wandering around a huge map, indifferent to their surroundings. I have to find a way to spice things up a bit and stimulate their brains. If all we do is extract the essence of Metroid over and over again, every game we release will turn out exactly the same. I try to challenge myself by focusing on developing a new gameplay mechanism every time in order to avoid complaints like that.
I've also seen it suggested that it's the other developers at Nintendo who have helped keep him in check before, and with Other M completely outsourced to other companies...
Really, in a way, I have to hand it to Sakamoto. Yes, he screwed up-- royally. But at least he's not afraid to try new things, nor is he afraid to go back to what works when need be. With stuff like New Super Mario Bros. and other games playing it too "safe" for some peoples' tastes, I think it might be good to have someone like this there.
Mind, I reserve the right to change my mind if he tries to continue pushing the Other M style after this, but something tells me he won't...
At the same time, I think his stance on Samus as a bounty hunter sucks. No one is perfect.
they had to edit that for the traumatized children who saw zombtimus prime
Oh, that is such a fond childhood memory for me, because I remember that episode scaring the shit out of me as a kid. It helped that my parents never took me to see the movie, so just about all I knew of it was what they showed at the beginning of "Five Faces of Darkness." Plus, it was one of those dark and stormy days when it came on... so awesome in hindsight.

well
I'm guessing it's a flashback episode or something involving Cliffjumper/Tailgate
Yeah, KO Brushguard has no head swivel, unlike the real thing. It's just one piece.
KO Rollbar can fold those big chunks back, but the ball joints for his arms only really go up and down. So his arms would only be able to point straight out at his sides, like that.
I vaguely remember seeing the Transformers movie when I was a kid (I was six in 1986) but the only bit I could remember was Optimus dying.
Didn't watch it again until late last year sometime.
The beginning is the best part and then the whole thing completely falls apart in terms of narrative flow and tension. By the time, Sharkycons (or whatever) were jumping around, I was barely able to recognize it as the same movie I'd started forty five minutes beforehand.
That and Rodimus sucks. God does Rodimus suck.

Yeah, but at least he knows it. G1 Rodimus Prime's whole thing is that he knows he's not cut out for the job. It's such a core part of the character that even hate plague-infected Rodimus Prime is able to shake off the effects of the spores that literally every lifeform in the galaxy is helpless against for a second or two when Optimus shows up and dangles the carrot of him going back to Hot Rod the Carefree Fisherbot in front of him.

neat
today's episode had Zombie Optimus
and the ending narration
"Is this the end of Optimus Prime? Find out on tomorrow's episode: the Return of Optimus Prime!"
huh
with a title like that, anything could happen!

"oh hey, my old pals are back'
"but it's really a QUINTESSON TRICK! KILL THEM ALL!"

maybe a new autobot
and I'm guessing Shockwave's coming soon
animation is very good
lots of potential, but overly cautious writing prevents it from being anything except decent.
One Vehicon at a bulletin board. Turns to another.
"Vern, I had an idea."
"Yeah?"
"We kill the Autobots. "
"Shit! That's what we've been doing wrong!"
Then the second one turns to the crowd
"Guys! Maybe we should kill the Autobots instead of dying!"
Why I fear the ocean.
They actually look pretty good, right? Everything pegs together surprisingly well!
And here's KO Brushguard's face right out in the open. Robots in Disguise man, c'mon!
KO Rollbar...stop messing around and get out of Gerwalk mode. It's time to show off the robot modes.
Like I said, surprisingly good. Especially for $2 each.
curb stomped his little tape recorder things
this is a fun game
I was one of those children. Optimus Prime's death was the first time a movie made me cry.
same with my brother
smokescreen was a gift from my uncle, one of my first transformers
i cry a lot honestly, i cant remember the first time i cried at a movie
that was a film
Isn't that from Overhaul's toy in Cybertron? Unless the KO changed it, the head should be able to rotate and hide the face.
Again, it might be the KO thing, but Rollbar's side-panels should be able to fold back flat against his body.

they change molds for no obvious reason

Personally, I like both, but I'm not blind as to why either wouldn't be for some people.
