Kraid Was Originally Supposed to be in Metroid Prime!! Here is His Awesome Render!!

Apparently in the Phazon Mines. Hopefully he is in MP2. A great character model is a terrible thing to waste.

BTW, that Gene Kohler guy no longer works at Retro Frown

I can't exactly understand why Retro pulled this render unless of course, it isn't real.

That thing looks way better than anything in Metroid Prime.

RENDERS usually do. Like the rendered background in REs. I mean unless I am reading this wrong...but I know you render in game, but most, I mean most, even indi, don't call it rendering in game...I mean damn...

*sigh* That is so beautiful.

Although I personally enjoyed the fact that Kraid, Mother Brain, and a normal Ridley weren't present, as it changes things up a bit. If anyone needs to take a break, though, it's Ridley... though I like him better than Kraid, he was in Fusion AND Prime, meanwhile Kraid hasn't been seen outside of Zero Mission, a remake.

What I REALLY want to see is a Mother Brain render.

Shouldn't kraid's double chin's be alternating? i always thought og him as some grotesque beast, not a perfectly symmetrical creature...

Hey Kraid, you've got something on your chin.

No, no your other chin.

Did he get destroyed and subsequently rebuilt, ala Ridley, because I always thought he had more than one eye?

And whatever happened to his man-breasts? Tongue

Of course a Render will look good. Should have been in the game though. Stupid Nintendo.

That is one scary looking boss. That would have been a really nice and challenging end-game boss. Or close to the end of the game.

Wow.

There's no point me wishing he was in MP cause I'd never get to see him. I'm rubbish at it.

You find MP hard? Honestly? I tend to be rubbish at games too, especially first person ones but I found MP pretty easy. The biggest problems I had were Thardus and Meta Ridley and it didn't take too long to get over them. Although I did have a near on 20 minute battle with Ridley with my flat mate shouting instructions every few seconds Dance

Since I've got a lot of free time this summer, I'm wondering whether or not to go through MP again for the 100% ending. For me it would be worth it to go through for the gameplay alone, especially the joy I remember getting when I realised I could kick those Baby Sheegoths' asses easily with the plasma beam, HAR HAR. So...is the 100% ending worth it? I thought the ending I got was pretty drab.

I am very strange, I hear the same thing said over and over. I thought that Ridley battle was the easiest thing ever, the whole game really easy...but it took me forever to finish the game...damn Metroid Prime!

His face looks retarded. If they would stick his old face on that model, it would look amazing.

I wouldve liked to see the model from SSBM in the game.

That would look out of place in MP, it doesn't look scary enough or something. The body is absolutely perfect in that render, but the face looks a bit smooshed.

what if that was a design and they thought, "Meh Its mecha-Ridley, this isn't a mech Kraid", and decided to wait...for something else.

I love that picture.

Kraid is supposed to look like a morbidly obese dragon, not that. That just looks weird. I'm also doubting whether or not that was made by Retro

They did a great job of rendering Kraid in 3D. Doesn't look like he/she/it would be a ton of fun to fight against though. Virtually all the bosses had some interesting way to defeat it.

kraid looks amazing there but wouldn't he be a bit hard to work into the story, hes so fat it'd be hard to move him from one planet to another
oh and another thing prime was way to easy, even my little brother (6 years old) can do most of it without any help.

What do you mean by "outside of Zero Mission"? You know he was in Metroid 3 too.

I'd love to see Mother Brain in 3D.
