Metroid: Samus Returns Gamescom Trailer

Man less than a month till we finally get another 2D style Metroid! It is continuing to look really good, so PLEASE turn out well.
 
Metroid is BACK baby!!! ❤️❤️ Cut the trailer mid play through....media blackout time! Looks amazing MercurySteam!!! What a return to form post the disastrous Lords of Shadow 2.😮
 
I have mixed feelings for the new abilities, gonna have to wait to play the game if I like them or not

I hope I can get the amiibos and a sensor for them since I don't have one for my 3DS
 
That was a pretty crappy trailer, I'm not usually one to have issues with voice overs but by god the guy couldn't be less excited or interested in what he was saying...
 
I LOVE IT.

That's a day one for me. I really hope people buy this so Nintendo realise we want 2D Metroids like that. I mean, this seems to be what we ask for, generally speaking.
 
Good trailer but the voice is annoying and is it only me or anyone else thinks those doors look ugly as fuck in this game?
 
On Metroid encounters, they seemed to have varied them up by using the environment and giving some metroids their own specific moves according to the area. Great stuff. I think the combat in this game is probably going to be the best 2D metroid combat (which makes some sense given the developer has focused pretty consistently on combat focused titles). I also noticed that you can use the melee counter in the air which is pretty rad. I like that there are few limitations in this game for how you use your tools and more on when you use them (stuff like Ammo and the Shared Aeion energy pool).

Like I said before, could be the evolved Metroid you fight shortly after
 
Why are they playing Ridley's theme in the background? Are they forcing him into this game now? Poor bastard can't even sleep when he's dead.

It's also the generic Escape theme so maybe there are escape sequences in the game?
 
That looks way better than I expected.
 
What is with Metroid and crappy narrative voice-overs?

The PAL version of Prime's intro, the Prime 3 credits, the Smash Bros Brawl remix of Brinstar...
 
Really excited for this. Maybe it's because it's been ages since the last Metroid game or because I haven't played Metroid II, but I'm looking forward to having a new game to explore.

The amount of goodies tucked away behind amiibo seems excessive though.

Oh yes, can't forget "The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace" spoken by some random bored dude.

That at least seemed fitting though. For all we know, it could be a robot saying it. It would be weird for some guy to scream it.
 
That scan ability looks totally overpowered.

I'm still a bit skeptical that this will be a good game. I hope the level design is inventive.
 
The gameplay looks really great... but the graphics look like shit. I really wish they had stuck with sprites, but I guess they wanted to do some aggressive things with the camera that wouldn't be possible without 2.5D. Hopefully it doesn't matter and the game ends up being just as good or better than the GBA entries, but it is kind of a let down going into a Metroid game knowing that the visuals won't be very appealing.

The trailer almost makes it seem like the extra abilities are necessary to get through some areas? Either that, or they provide a way to cheese segments that might require an upgrade later.
 
was already day one but worried

this is a good trailer. more confident now. the new stuff actually looks good and fun to use even with "might be too easy " worries.

can't wait
 
Looks great, can't wait. I will even buy the stupid amiibo because I can't help it.

Yep. Making it seem like you can't access all the content in the game without using every Metroid Amiibo.

I wasn't aware that you'd need to use both Smash Samuses to access the sound test.

It's basically Power Bombs except it reveals some of the map too.

Zero Suit Samus unlocks the sound test, regular Samus unlocks the Samus Returns concept art gallery.

Gotcha, and thanks. The narrator says "tap these two figures after beating the game to enjoy concept art and a sound test".

You could see how that could be taken the wrong way. But it's Nintendo.
