Metroid: Samus Returns (Mercury Steam, Metroid 2 reimagining, 9/15) announced for 3DS
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
Yeah, fuck those of us who waited for 2 generations for a new 2D Metroid, we should run out about another console for this.
Nintendo already said announcements would be made outside of the spotlight.

Wow, I just walked out of the room for a minute and came back to a Metroid demo. Nintendo can be so weird about their reveals.

Why didn't they just up the res and make it a Switch game?
>_<
So happy, but still, I thought I was done with 3DS. Now they go and do this!

Metroid 2 remake? ...Why? I mean I'll take it, anything better than nothing at all for 13 years. But why not something new, why not Metroid 5?
With modern tropes, this will pretty much be an entirely new game. They will be almost nothing alike.

Mercury Steam? No thanks.
Well taking down am2r makes even more sense now lol.
Okay this might had shot up to my game of the show.
Cause that was only to show Switch stuff.

Nice to just get metroid though.

Looks pretty good. Even if it's a remake of the GB game, I'm glad side-scrolling Metroid still has some life in it.
Still, can't help but think how much more fanfare this would get if it released on Switch with a bit crisper graphics...

As soon as I heard Mercury Steam my hype died immediately. Mirrors of Fate is the only Metroidvania I dropped halfway through (not that I've played them all, of course). And it seems the QTE fest is back.
Goddamit.
Goddamit.

Looks fine. Its what I been wanting for a long time. You cant compare Hand drawn sprites to 3D Models.

Nintendo suddenly love Metroid again.
Looks good.
Looks good.
With fan remakes, they've been pretty lenient in the past.
3DS is one of the best consoles ever and still selling. Can we stop with this? We're getting a freaking new Prime on consoles.

Maybe they'll port it to Switch later.
After all this time. I was nearly convinced it would never happen. Granted, it's a remake, but I'll take it. Looks gorgeous
.
compared to original GB anyway, lol
I'm no apologist, but as a 2D Metroid fan I feel very grateful we're even getting something "new" at all, lol. The dream had been dead for over a decade, with indies taking over the genre while the progenitor slept. They could've easily never come back here and just done Prime forever (which I honestly thought they would).

As I said before, I'm very happy, but I hope for a visual improvement. MercurySteam did a good job with Castlevania on 3DS.

Metroid fans rejoice! The biggest victory in a decade!

This has a much higher chance of selling well on 3DS, which is what we need for this game. We need Nintendo to get the message that this series needs more 2D entries.

The art direction looks pretty bad.
