Basically portraying the gameplay and user interface of the upcoming Metroid game.
Not really showing a lot of exploration.

I don't like the new design on Samus' suit... Regardless, the game looks pretty good, but, I'm a bit confused. At one point it looks like a side scroller with 3D elements, but, the next moment it looks full 3D, and I'm not talking about the whole 1st person visor thing.

I'm concerned with the exploration also... If it's a linear game it's going to be disappointing. even though the Gameboy color Metroid game wasn't so bad. If it turned out like that, I'll be... Somewhat satisfied I suppose.

I'm excited about this

the design in her new suit I think is better than what Retro did only cause it's abit more slim and not as masculine looking <.< (the shoulder pads aren't as ridiculous even if they are like her trademark) and her helmet looks more like a helmet to me while still keeping it's look from the front view the side view is different

and I think it's not totally Linear just paths leading from 1 room to another would make you go in a set direction?

It reminds me a lot of Super Metroid. Especially where you can turn on/off weapons and with some side-scrolling elements. There's even the Five-Bomb Drop from Super Metroid. I don't really have anything to say about the graphics, since I focus more on the gameplay elements. I think it's good overall, but it could always be better. I'm glad to see the Shinespark make a return though.

when people don't want metroid to be linear, they meant that we should be able to go back to recent areas any time we want.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to this game, even though it doesn't have the trademark metroid exploration.
I still welcome a new entry to the series, and hold off all judgement until I can play the game.

Also:

1Up has posted a new interview with Yoshio Sakamoto and Yousuke Hayashi. The interview is extensive and well worth the read, even though there is little new information - it more clarifies many of the ideas we have heard before. Here are some highlights:

-Samus should be able to discover new weapons as well as gain permission to use old ones (similar to Fusion). Sakamoto: "[W]e're definitely trying to find a balance point between receiving permission and finding weapons yourself."
-Sakamoto: "[W]e'll have some abilities you gain from enemies that have never before been seen in the series."
-Close-range combat was influenced by Team Ninja's background with Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden. They included lots of close combat because using only long-range attacks did not have as much entertainment impact.
-Mr. Sakamoto does not hate the nunchuck! The Wiimote-only scheme happened to work best for this project and spurred creativity: "[I]n some ways using fewer buttons like this spurs developers to think of novel approaches that they might not otherwise have considered."

Damn Nintendo for turning Samus into another iconic female "sex sells" figure.

She used to hunt SPACE PIRATES for ****s sake.
