I have wanted metroid for so long and if they delay it till something like mid-2003 Im going to kill somebody.
The new screens look really good, and I too am excitied about the visor stuff and junk.
Speaking about mario. I think it may improve graphicly like Star Wars did so quickly. If it gets to the point where it looks like the demo, then it would be perfect. If not, thats OK. I want mario and what seems to be quite a bit of free roaming.
