Are you playing with a Wii controller while sat at a computer table?
Oh, and it's not a shooter.

No, that'd be crazy. Using a mouse and keyboard.
Oh, and it's not a shooter.
huh? Metroid PRIME, the first person shooter, isn't a shooter? What? I don't follow.

Oh Christ, you're in that "everything must be spelt out but you'll deliberately misunderstand" mood okay everybody gets one
When you tried to play with the Wii remote were you at a computer desk?
It's no more a first person shooter than Portal.
Just because it's in that POV and has some shooting doesn't make it an FPS.
It's pretty obviously a Metroidvania, more broadly an adventure game. A first person one.

I didn't misunderstand anything you wrote, dude, so don't get pissy at me. I only played the Wii version on the Wii for about five minutes some four years ago, and that was on the couch.
Sure, Metroid shooter then.

No pissyness, just an observation.
And obviously you're welcome to call the game what you like, but you seem to be trying to make PC FPS controls work in a game that's neither designed for those controls or designed as a shooter - that just seems a little masochistic.

I just answered the question you asked. No maliciousness or whatnot to "deliberately misunderstand" by answering it the way it was asked.
It's not me calling it anything than what it is. I'm honestly surprised anyone would think this is even up to debate. Even doors are opened by shooting them. It's what you spend most of time doing in that game. It's a shooter. End of that discussion.
The controls work better this way because it's a first person shooter.

Is there somewhere else you actually talk about games? All you seem to want to do here is play a character in the hope of provoking a reaction (even projecting a reaction where there is none).
I mean, if you're a person who actually enjoys talking with like-minded people about games then this approach is, literally, your loss.

You're the one that brought the animosity. I just answered your question. If I'd known this asinine line of replies is what I would've gotten from you, I wouldn't have bothered.

Calling the perhaps the best known Metroidvania of all time anything other than a Metroidvania is something that's done to illicit a response - so well done him and shame on us, I guess.

The only time I tried using mouse and keyboard with an emulated console game was Goldeneye 64. Worked ok. But it changes the gameplay, difficulty, general feeling etc so much that it's not really like playing the same game.

I'd comment on the Nintendo 64's general control scheme for shootI mean adventure games, but it seems to set people off, soooooo beep it.

It's not a shooter; yes there's shooting in it but it's primarily an adventure/metroidvania game. It's the same as Portal in that the shooting is only a means to experience the true point of the game rather than being
the
point like COD or Halo.
