    Early previews of Metroid Prime 4 prominently feature a companion that you rescue in the first area, who tags along for a large portion of the playtime. He makes dumb quips: "It's about to get real nerdy in here", screams when enemies appear: "Is everything on this planet trying to kill us?", states very obvious things: "missiles work better on enemies with hard shells" and nags you about what to do at any given moment: "You want something to shoot? Try that piston".

    He's also an escort that you need to protect or you get a game over.

    So you’re stuck with a costumed Clippy. Ugh.

    Doesn't look promising from what I've seen so far. I will try to keep an open mind and wait for reviews to start coming in, but honestly the atmosphere and vibes are what I love most about Metroid games. Having a companion (especially an annoying one that you need to babysit) could easily sour me on any game, let alone a Metroid game.
