RE4 was fun for a while. However, every "room" whether outdoors or indoors was played exactly the same way.
Enter room (or outdoor area via gate). Quickly run to corner, positioning dumb girl behind you. Stand in corner and shoot the inevitable onslaught of "not zombies" that mindlessly march towards you. When "not zombies" stop coming, grab items and enter next room. Repeat.
The puzzles were stupid. "This horse shaped item looks like it would fit in the horse shaped hole in the dining room!"
Some levels were a lot of fun. Fighting off the hordes of "not zombies" trying to bash their not-dead selves into the barricaded cabin with the spanish guy was great.
I quit after I got to the "drop the giant ogre into the lava pit" stage. It started getting boring.
And no matter how many times you say they aren't zombies, when a horde of mindless humanoids come ambling out of a cemetary and try to bash their way into a cabin with barricaded doors...give me a break! They were zombies!

Metroid was dark, you played it underground, most of the time in small caves. The music was haunting, and there were not many enemies. Those that were there were mostly slow and silent. Gameplay was rather slow, too, compared to frantic games like Contra.
You've just described world 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. Was that claustrophobic and lonely?
Basically being underground means you have a black background and gray floor instead of a blue background and green floor.
Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing Metroid and Super Metroid, but if Samus hadn't turned out to be a half-nekkid lady at the end of the first one, I don't think it would be a huge franchise today. Mario launched the NES. Half-nekked man-Samus would have doomed Metroid to this fate.
My opinion only, of course.

I've seen an astounding number of people say "claustrophobic and lonely" to describe Metroid in the last couple of weeks.
I assume someone mentioned it on a gaming site somewhere and has been parroted from message board to message board.
Metroid was no more "claustrophobic and lonely" than any one of the other platform/shooters that came out around the same time. It just seemed cooler because you had a sweet powersuit and could roll into a ball that shot bombs. Compare/contrast to Kid Icarus where you were a stupid flying loser who died all the time.
Yes, basically. I would guess that the new Gameboy is in development in much the same way that the new PS4 is in development.
I also don't think it's far fetched to believe that you will be able to dump old Nintendo games downloaded on your Revolution to the DS. It's built to do something similar with demo games from kiosks and to do multiplayer with one cart.
I've been wrong before. (but only once.)
I mapped them out on graph paper.
It took me ~3 months to beat the first time through (I was 10 or 11). The last dungeon was extremely hard. I called 1-800-USA-SEGA when it was still a free tip line. They ended up sending me a xeroxed map drawn on graph paper but by the time it got through the mail I beat the game.
Ah, the free tip line. Good times!
As opposed to what? One of PS2's redundant anime/ninja/samurai games? Or something childish like Mario Karts? FPS, racing and sports games are not the bulk of video game sales?
It's hard to imagine children enjoying a childish game, I know.
Phantasty Star I is one of my favorite RPGs. I still play it every now and then. There is a GBA port out now, which is cool. I was really excited when the second one was released, but the change to overhead dungeons, way too frequent random monster encounters, and the bundled walkthrough ruined it for me.
Why did they drop the first person dungeons? Anypne know?
And yet again, there's no mention that anything else IS being developed to take over the GBA's throne.
Because it's the DS, whether they want to lump it in with the Gameboy line or not.
So to refresh:
- DS is not the end of the GBA (in fact, it plays GBA games.)
- Micro is not a successor to the GBA (because it IS a GBA)
No mention of the real "successor" to the GBA being developed, though. I will say that I don't think there will be another Nintendo handheld platform for a lot of years. I will hazard a guess and say at least five.

No, he didn't.
Oh no! Not an online game! What's next, how to cheat at checkers? They wouldn't! They can't! They shouldn't!

To be fair though, there are a ton of titles hitting the DS that began life on consoles.
What else is there?
Children. Adults with jobs, families, and lives.
