Design doc brings ton of information, concept art on rejected “Metroid 1.5”
Base Destruction:
Two Teams, Two bases, several hot points in each base, and a bunch of timed detonators. Requires teamwork and finesse, because they are all timed to go off at the same time, whenever one is placed. Pray that you don’t have it on you and you’re off the base.
Rules:
• Bot or Human player permitted
• Split screen
• Goal is to destroy the other teams base
• Once one detonator is activated, they ALL activate. This game-play style requires team work so all detonators can be placed at the same time, mission impossible style.
• The first team that destroys the others base wins.
3 on 1:
One-player controls an omega Pirate, the others control bounty hunters. This is basically a remake of the Omega Pirate battle in the singer player game, only this time, its multiplayer and could be a bit more intense
Rules:
• Bot or Human player permitted
• Split screen
• For the Omega Pirate’s UI, the camera will be raised significantly to emphasize height
• Omega Pirate can call in support of trooper pirates and recharge via phazon.
• A multi-player variant on the boss battle from the single player game, we could use the same arena or create a new one.
Morphball Bumper Car Super Battle Gaiden:
Sort of like a really violent Marble Madness meets bumper cars, with morphballs, explosions, fire, pain, suffering, humiliation, and you know, hurting your friends and stuff.
Rules:
• Up to human 4 players, no bots
• Goal is to be the last ball standing.
• You can boost into other morphballs to knock them out of the way, into a pit, or deadly obstacle
• No power bombs.
• Occasionally, heath drones will fly over-head, use half pipe sections or bomb jump to grab them.
• Arenas are on a single screen, no split, Shaped like skating pools and half pipes.
• There are deadly obstacles in the arenas, similar to the Battle-bots TV show, flamejets, buzzsaws, as well as lava pits that the player can fall into.
New Melee Attack
Samus’s new Melee attack involves her beam weapon arm to utilize several quick strikes upon enemies. Similar to the “weapon smash” attack in Halo, this attack would be used to knock out enemies, kill them silently, and just for plain old fun. Since we never run out of ammo in our game, this attack is simply another move, but could be used as bragging rights in multiplayer games and for stealth attacks in single player games. Controls would allow the player to use the left analog in conjunction with the attack button to pull off different moves.
