If she did, her game would probably look a lot like Axiom Verge
Dan Adelmanworked for Nintendo for many years, and was one of their unsung heroes for much of that time. While he has consistently voiced affection and respect for the company, he did end up resigning last year, in part because he felt like his role at Nintendo wasn’t what it used to be. Now he’s working on marketing and PR for a game calledAxiom Verge, a game that Nintendo of America President ReggieFils-Aime once said looked likeMetroid.
Samus Aranhas worked for Nintendo for many years, and has been considered one of their most iconic characters for much of that time. While she has consistently garnered affection and respect from fans of the company, she hasn’t had a game of her own since the year 2010. Many feel that her role at Nintendo isn’t what it used to be. Now she’s appearing in regular installments of theSmash Bros.series, but she’d much rather be inAxiom Verge, a game thatNintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimeonce said looked likeMetroid.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think that Dan Adelman was Samus Aran’s secret identity. If putting on glasses and civilian clothes is all Superman needed to do to trick us into thinking he’s Clark Kent, then why couldn’t Samus do the same thing? If it weren’t for this video, I may still believe that was the case. The similarities between these two “Nintendo characters” are hard to shake, though when it comes to the discussion of “going indie,” their differences definitely start to show.
