Metroid Prime 4 Wishlist: 10 Things Fans Demand

10. Start With All Your Equipment

Nintendo have been experimenting and developing this idea more frequently with some of their biggest franchises

Giving players access to all/most of a character's equipment and mechanics from the start of the game, means the game relies more heavily on the player's initiative to see them through the rest of the way.

At this point, most of us are familiar with the Metroid way of doing things. You start with the weakest equipment, but as you explore and beat bosses you unlock different weapons and tools to get you to locations inaccessible before.

So it's time for something new.

Giving players access to everything from the start in Nintendo's other franchises hasn't diminished the experience, far from it, with this new approach, the latest entries have received some of the highest critical acclaim to date.

So why would Metroid be any different?
