I try not to judge 2A, but this isnt that different from there other stuff and with a post like
"This aint no Airwalk.
No Muller Photography. No seasonal typefaces. No whimsically minimal taglines. We ain't worthy, but we try our best. This is called Metroid.ericj

I would think that there would be something innovative, all in all, it's ok work but I've seen better 2A sites, but I must commend there business aqumen in aquiring client like Nintendo. Airwalks better maybe they should try some Muller Photography, seasonal typefaces and whimsically minimal taglines. Break up the repetative work.

I thought that it was pretty well done. Very involving and a good mimic of what the game is gonna be like. It is what it is. So tell me then. What would you have done?
- DutchBoy0
eh
- JamesEngage0
probably just had a preloader

I don't think I've ever seen that many preloaders before. amazing...

I am not saying there was anything wrong with the execution of the site, maybbe they had a strict brief to follow or whatever, the point is the remark was sarcastic, coming from someone who started out ripping, but deviated from that to put out some nice stuff...occasionally. I would expect him to be a little more humble considering his beginnings. Oh and if I was in charge of designing that site i would have saw to that Muller handled the photography, had so seasonal typefaces and minimal whimsical taglines.

i dig it. the only reason it's similar to their style is because that's what type of game it is. makes me want to buy a gamecube and i hung out on the site for a while last night. i can't wait till broadband gets better and more sites are as depp as this one. i think 2a is ahead of the technology curve in terms of the amount of content they put into a site.

anyone else?

It's good for what it is. Sure there's lot's of other things they could've done. No surprise in the route they took, but still, it makes sense for the client. I imagine 2A must feel a bit pigeonholed with what they do and the hoards of clients that have stepped into 2001 and want that steez.
- arinya0
Pardon my ignorance but I've started to see this alot so what is a "steez".
- mr_snuggles0
steez = style
- arinya0

its a great site, it's metroid, and its a metroid site. though it does take a very long time to load- which is probably nintendo's fault for wanting a broadband site.
not sure what ericj meant- but
it would be nice if it had more of a community metroid fan site type of thing happening- rather then just online promo's for the games.

i like it

Site's okay... to me it doesn't do a great job of selling the game, though. Too much clicky clicky, not enough jaw dropping footage of the game itself... Metroid is THE most amazing looking game on the modern consoles... This site doesn't make that apparent (video is a bit too small and overcompressed).
It's a hell of a lot better than the Halo 2 site that was discussed here recently, though...
