Metroid isn't a series I imagined seeing outside its usual shooter style. The game might be fun when it's out, but... just seems kind of weird and wrong to me.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, there's a few series that have gone pinball (Mario, Kirby, Sonic....). I guess next on the block is Zelda pinball.

What's wrong with use morph ball in pinball game? Morph ball always there through whole Metroid games. It deserved great respect.
Dont forgot there's Pokemon Pinball games, too. I had hell time with my first Pokemon Pinball since day I bought it.

Did we know there's war pinball game known as Odama will be on GC, too?

This has been around a while (am I the only one who knew this a few days ago? And that it was at ebs website?). Sounds a little weird.

I think it's stupid. Just like a puzzle game they did with the theme of the princess Zelda from Wind Waker.

Why, because what has been sayd. WTF does Samus Aran does being inside a pinball? WTF does Zelda do at the size of some weird tetris clone?

It's not that they aren't usually imagined outside of certain scenarios; is that they do not belong to a puzzle or pinball scenario. Their world is not about that.

However, some games managed to bend the acceptable limits: Super Smash Bros. Melee has the excuse that the fighters are actually toys. And all the Mario games are okay because the world of mario isn't logical(meaning mario party is ok, tought things like Mario Tennis do exist in his world).

God, he'd lose all his dignity.

No. Evil does not equal dignity.

Not always, but sometimes it does. James Bond villains are chock-full of dignity.
