Support NeoGAF

[Kevinroc]

Glad to see Metroid lives.

Hopefully we see more dormant Nintendo franchises make a come back.

 

[Opa-Pa]

I'm so confused, this is all I ever wanted, but MercurySteam... Oh what the hell, I'm so in. I can't believe the rumor about two Metroid games became true.

 

[Kayhan]

Why can't I hold all these Metroid games?

 

[Recreat3]

Thsy should bring this to switch aswell. Those sound effectssss

 

[AuthenticM]

Mercury System

Hype tempered

seriously

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Man people's hype deflated as soon as it was announced to be made by Mercury Steam.

Maybe Nintendo was embarrassed by it. That was why the game wasn't in the spotlight.

No it's because they weren't showing 3DS games in the spotlight.

 

[CronoShot]

I'm not huge on the visual style, but I'm absolutely getting this day 1. Will always support Metroid.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Man people's hype deflated as soon as it was announced to be made by Mercury Steam.

You guys are insane. They said the Spotlight was only for Switch titles yet here you are, asking my a 3DS title wasn't in it. For fucks sake

 

[sfried]

Im super pissed right now, f*** you nintendo. Why does this not come to switch ? bullshit wow
I really cant express how upset I am

Because you'll be getting Metroid Prime 4? This is like Matroid Prime + Metroid Fusion like the GameCube days.

 

[Ray Down]

Nintendo isn't going to give their game to somebody and key it turn out bad

Metroid Other M.

 

[rjc571]

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.

Yeah they're garbage, I wish Nintendo could have done this internally.

Metroid Other M.

Other M is significantly better than every game ever made by Mercury Steam

 

[Kraq]

This looks good. Fantastic year for Metroid fans.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I don't feel terrible that I missed downloading AM2R.

 

[Tizoc]

Wait this the same mercury stream that made the Castlevania LoS 3DS game right?
I advice a little caution but I'm down for this.

 

[SuperLeviathan]

They have to have some kind of system for getting 3DS games onto the Switch. They just have to.

This looks awesome.

 

[Firenze1]

Mercury steam? Pass. Their 3ds castlevania game was horrible.

 

[Man God]

...I actually thought Mirror of Fate was okay.

It's very okay. Not quite as good as the DS Castlevania titles but better than a lot of indie titles in the same genre.

 

[LiQuid!]

More Metroid is never a bad thing. Im hyped

They found a way to make it a bad thing.

 

[Rambler]

Yuck

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Hopefully MercurySteam are like Silicon Knights and they can put something decent together under Nintendo's supervision.

 

[Jubenhimer]

Mercury Steam has developer is highly concerning. Hopefully, Nintendo can guide them properly because this game is a dream of mine.



To be fair Nintendo has been pushing linear Metroid for awhile especially with Zero Mission, Fusion, and Other M and Metroid II was always more linear than the original and Super to begin with.

I hope. I mean, Next Level Games was making mediocre licensed games before Nintendo lended their guidance. So Hopefully Nintendo can Shepard Mecury Steam to making a good game.

 

[Jigorath]

Eh, this looks pretty bad. Mercury Steam :/

 

[Genghis Khan]

But GAF told me the 3DS was dead!! Switch is its successor!!

 

[SporeCrawler]

looks good

Eh, this looks pretty bad. Mercury Steam :/

its 3ds. its actually one of the best looking 3ds games easily

 

[Got]

lol

 

[Ocaso]

I have to admit, this is the one scenario where it's eminently clear why cease and desist orders need to exist. On the one hand, I'm eternally grateful that they allowed AM2R to reach completion since it's an amazing labor of love. On the other hand, the fact that we already have a fantastic Metroid 2 remake does somewhat diminish my enthusiasm for this project. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll buy it and likely love it, especially if it's significantly overhauled/new, but still, can't say I wouldn't have preferred a new game instead...

 

[Metal Khaos]

Damn, well Switch would have been preferred, I'm not going to complain. I'll pick this up Day 1.

Here's to hoping it's good as the Metroid 1 remake back on GBA.

 

[Stevey]

Same dudes that made that terrible 3ds Castlevania, yeah?

lol get out, Lords Of Shadow is awesome

 

[Makonero]

Metroid Other M.

I think they've learned from that and Federation Force.

 

[Realeza]

This is looking good. WTF are people complaining about?

 

[Megatron]

WHY WAS THIS NOT IN THE SPOTLIGHT?

Its not a switch game.

 

[Effect]

Can we trust Mercury Steam?

With Nintendo's oversight? I think so. Not when left on their own.

 

[jacob armitage]

Even average developers are capable of turning out amazing work under Nintendo (Next Level Games for example), though it always pays to be cautiously optimistic.

 

[Qurupeke]

I was excited for one second, but it looks really bad.

 

[Tavernacle12]

Im super pissed right now, f*** you nintendo. Why does this not come to switch ? bullshit wow
I really cant express how upset I am

Do you not have a 3DS but have a Switch? You should buy a 3DS.

 

[The Main Event]

Looks ace besides the art

 

[KiNolin]

Now we're talking, not that "started development"-bs.

 

[-Horizon-]

Looks bad? What? Are we watching the same thing?

 

[jett]

Nintendo isn't going to give their game to somebody and key it turn out bad

I kid!

This game look okay.

 

[V-Faction]

Sakamoto is involved. Thankfull no "the baby" heard.

Oh you mean Suhkamoatoe.

 

[blame space]

.

 

[bachikarn]

Looks like it def is more of a reimagining than a straight remake

 

[Persona7]

Metroid Other M.

This was handled in house by Nintendo directly by the creator of Metroid.

Story, writing directors and producers were all Nintendo.

 

[Toxi]

Can we trust Mercury Steam?

I want to believe.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Mercury Steam? Ewwwww.

Oh well, at least it's an established game, and they're just re-imagining it.

 

[antibolo]

Wait so it's

1) On 3DS
2) Made by Mercury Steam

Wow I'm gonna ignore this so hard

 

[Foffy]

I don't feel terrible that I missed downloading AM2R.

It will probably be a better game than this, unless Nintendo is directly co-developing.

MercurySteam has already proven with Castlevania that they don't "get" these types of games.

 

[J4g3r]

Hopefully MercurySteam are like Silicon Knights and they can put something decent together under Nintendo's supervision.

Well have a look what they did to Castlevania.

Hype dead.

 

[RK128]

Metroid II Remake......

WELP, this explains why Nintendo was hell bent on shutting down AM2R. But this is a really nice surprise to be honest.

Can't wait to see this in action .

 

[SomeRandomWeirdGuy]

Looks a little Other M-ish, gameplay wise. And I'm not completely sold on MercurySteam, but come on! Two Metroids! HELL YEAH

I also think this is the kind of game that will shine in 3D mode, so looking forward to playing it myself
