Told myself I wouldn't buy another 3DS, but damn, I'm loving the looks of that Metroid edition.

According to Sam from treehouse there is a standard Hard mode unlocked after beating the game, then Fusion mode is a third difficulty mode you unlock with the stupid amiibo.

Outside of all the amiibo stuff, I can't wait to play in the Fusion suit again:

Honestly this looks ugly in this screenshot. I guess it'll look better in motion?
Kinda glad...I didn't cancel my amiibo preorder lmao.

Oh shit! I sort of wish I hadn't sold my 3DS now... That themed console is tempting but not enough so for just one game I'm interested in.

Alright, now that's just the perfect occasion to get a US New 3DS if they on't release it in Europe. Love it!

Still betting on a EU Snes edition when Snes mini comes out.

Almost hope this won't come to EU so I don't feel obligated to buy it. It looks fantastic but man I really don't need to be spending that money...

Don't worry, you can't play with these limited edition 3DS's anyway if you don't want the print to rub off.
Really? I've played my Monster Hunter 4U LE 3DS faithfully since I got it and it still looks new.

Those are some ugly shoulders that look nothing like the Fusion suit's shoulders

I can't wait for this.
Though, one thing I've been wondering: can you still move while aiming upwards or downwards in this game? It seems like you have to root your feet to the floor to do the free-aiming, but I wonder if you can still aim at 45 degree angles with the D-pad alone (or the C-stick in this game, I guess?).

It reminds me of some of the very first Brawl mods when people were still figuring out model editing.

$200 gone like that lol
I'm picking up that system to hoard because aside from that gamecube box there's never been a metroid system
I like the design too

Have they confirmed that 3DS is coming to the EU?

Waited for years to buy a new 3DS. Looks like this is the one, provided that scalpers don't fuck the game up!

The game previews are pretty good. Looks like the game is on a good trajectory.
I still have an OG 3DS, so if I see the Metroid special edition I might get it. Hmmm

Ugh they ruined it with the terrible Seamus illustration. Why isn't the symbol on the front? Or why not just Samus' colors only?
THe new fusion design actually looks nice, though.Those are some ugly shoulders that look nothing like the Fusion suit's shoulders

Any confirmation on what the target FPS is on the current and n3DS (if there is a difference)? I recall that still not being confirmed from the couple E3 demos folk got.

As an owner of an OG 3DS XL, does this game have any features exclusive to the New 3DS models (apart from Amiibo support, I mean)?
I'm thinking along the lines of Yoshi's Woolly World having 60fps support on the newer versions of the console. Is there anything like that here?

Well, you can buy SNES VC games off the eShop. Smash also loads quicker, lol.

The console will be available in Japan as well.
Seems like we won't have to wait long before a Europe announcement imo

I meant in terms of this particular game, Samus Returns. Does it have any benefits on the New 3DS?

Can't recommend 3DS special editions. I barely took the Monster Hunter 4 one anywhere, yet the layers started to come off like half a year in.
On the Nintendo Voice Chat podcast last week, they mentioned in passing that Samus Returns takes a "slight performance hit" when playing in 3D, but didn't get into any specifics and/or whether they were playing on a new 3DS XL, or just an ordinary 3DS. I haven't read any of these new previews yet, so I don't know if that assertion has been backed up elsewhere or not.

Alright, I'm officially in hype mode for this game. That's a lovely 3DS, too. Would look great next to my Triforce Edition.
