Since the next Metroid game promises to (somewhat) go back to it's 2D-style roots, I'd suggest getting this one done before Metroid's August release... it'd be awesome to have this hopeful title to whet our appetites, rather than be compared to Metroid AFTER the new one is release, IMO.
honestly i think you guys are doing a great job, and me being in entertainment production myself I realize how when you're working on a project, you want everything to be just right and how time can wait if it means making the most awesome final product, I say keep going, but work diligently, some of us might be losing interest so please try getting this out as soon as you possibly can while still completing everything that you originally intended thanks
I also appreciate that you are tweaking everything to perfection. Too often iPhone games are rushed to the app store with a list of future updates that should have been included in the initial release in the first place. As excited as I am for this game, I am really happy that you are taking the proper time to fully polish, flesh out, and finish the game. Kudos.
Those screenshots are stunning. I'm thinking this is going to be one of the most beautiful games around.
