They would be incredibly annoying like Navi or Phi, plus they might ruin some of the discovery that the creators are trying to achieve. What do you think?
Please no! I want to do whatever I want in this game and not be interrupted.
A poet and you didn't know it, or maybe you did?which hopefully there'll be (Midna didn't give any, so it's not a guarantee) .
NO
Also, I don't care about enemy scans that Navi and Fi give, I'd rather just figure out how to kill enemies myself.

Even though, you still don't need a helper character that follows you around for that purposeTo me enemy scans were never about figuring out how to fight my foes (although they are useful that way) but rather about learning about the names and nature of such enemies (how they live out their lives).
But these scans go beyond just bad guys, in sky ward sword you could get info about all the characters by using Fi to scan for you. Other things could be scanned to like statues/artifacts and other objects in your environment, this could go a great way into expanding on the lore of the series.
Is there always gonna be a funny comment for every enemy?Enemy scans have always been about world-building to me, not learning how to defeat enemies -- it makes them more than just a target to kill, and that's awesome. I mean, come on, you can't tell me that Fi's comments on Bokoblins' fancy undergarments didn't make you at least chuckle and recognize them as more than just some stupid enemy, but part of an actual race.
Sorry, that's actually the most tedious thing about Metriod Prime to me.Also I must add that the scan visor was one of my favorite parts of Metroid Prime. I think this also brings up the point that we do not need a companion to scan things for us, like what if we got an item like the lens of truth for something like this or a book where we "look up" things of interest.

Like I said before, there are other ways to get enemy info in the game, a character that "scans" enemies for you not "needed"
My issue with these "helper" characters is that Nintendo might get tempted to make them automatically interrupt the game and give hints or advice, even if just occasionally, I don't remember, what wasn't WW the one with the least kind of things like that?
In ALBW, we weren't given a partner, so this means throughout the game there wasn't anytime for a partner to suddenly speak and stop the game.
God I hope not, the games are already easy enough and Fi may have been the most annoying character in a video game ever. Something like Midna would be not bad but I don't want another robot telling me that there's a 95% chance that the sky is blue.
I was thinking about this, but couldn't they do this in another way? Link could potentially have an item, maybe an enemy scrapbook where he collects information about each enemy/mini-boss/boss when he faces them. This way you could actually look at the analysis of each individual enemy without having to face them in battle. Just an old idea I had floating around before Skyward Sword.JuicieJ said:Enemy scans have always been about world-building to me, not learning how to defeat enemies -- it makes them more than just a target to kill, and that's awesome.
