Already posted? European boxart (vs. Game Boy boxart vs. US boxart):
I hope this runs ok on my old 3DS. It's been too long since I've played a Metroid game
What the hell were they smoking with the EU box?? lol you not supposed to put words there its clashing with the background and stars. Dont even get me started on the text alignment
why would it suddenly not "run ok"?
this isn't pc gaming
If it's a n3DS enhanced game, and they're only showing off n3DS footage.
Kind of like Hyrule Warriors Legends.
I certainly want to. It will be great in stereoscopic 3D.It actually looks really cool but I dont want to play it on 3ds 😭
And a hideous one at that, im not worried about performance just one question 30 or 60 fps? If its the latter i can see a few small blemishesHWL was a Wii U downport and a game that is inherently ill-suited for 3DS due to many many characters on screen.
This is a sidescroller. You can relax.
Surprised people don't like the steelbook. An amazing nostalgic touch.
I gotta ask, this isn't enhanced for NEW 3DS right??
I will play the exact same game on my old XL right?
Agreed. As someone who first played Metroid 2 on the actual Gameboy cartridge and still owns said cartridge, it's an awesome way to homage Samus Returns' progenitor.Surprised people don't like the steelbook. An amazing nostalgic touch.

Anywhere someone in the US can preorder the Europe special edition?
Oh I thought it was for the game only and was that size tbh. I just assumed that. Disappointed to hear otherwise.It's wildly out of proportion with an actual GB cart, so it looks really awkward. I really liked the suggestion in the dedicated thread for the Euro LE, that the SteelBook should have been a reproduction of the original game box, and inside was a custom plastic case for the game that was 1:1 with the GB cart proportions and had the game inside of it.
Also I'm a bit disappointed that the included music CD is just a compilation album, I was so sure it was the actual soundtrack I already own all the Metroid soundtracks I like.
That would have been phenomenal, but I hope that they're new versions of the old tracks at least.
At least some (if not most) of the songs in MSR are rearrangements of the iconic Super Metroid themes anyway, for example.
That's right, but I think (don't know if confirmed) that not all of the tracks on this CD are from SR. So I hope that those are newly arranged songs.
I wouldn't count on it. It's called "archives" which suggests it's really just a compilation of the original songs from the series.
Think of something like this: http://vgmdb.net/album/54247
Yeah, you could be right. But no matter what it is, I want it.
Why do this to yourself?This thread has make me want to replay both Other M and Mirror of Fate.

I actually was bout to play MoF and was like... nahhhhThis thread has make me want to replay both Other M and Mirror of Fate.

Right now I don't love the aesthetic of the game but the animations and movement speed seem fantastic. The detailed, almost gritty look of the enemies and environments look rough in the way so many 3ds games do. But if the game is as fast and fun as it looks, it will be hard for me to not buy it.

Hey, I played Mirror of Fate after Samus Returns was announced.
It's not bad.
It's boring as shit, tho.
GameExplain has posted on a hands on video with their impressions. (No few gameplay footage though)
They seem to love the 3D implementation as well as the feel of the controls.
That's MercurySteam's output in a nutshell.
So glad this is looking like an actually enjoyable game.
Haven't used my 3DS in yonks, I think Majora's Mask 3D was last time, about 18 months ago, and before that DKCR 3D.
The very original 3DS will play this right? Not one of the billion newer versions needed?
yes...
