Why can't this be a Switch download game as well.. Bah!

 

[GDGF]

Metroid 2 remake!

 

[matrix-cat]

OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING?

 

[megarockexe]

Now go buy a 2DS guys lol.
Game looks great. Finally an amazing 2D Metroid game. C&D redeemed.

 

[Spladam]

Nintendo keeps on winning, it has to stop!

By giving us what we've been begging to have for ten years.... I call it breaking even.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Oh it's a remake.

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

No wonder Nintendo shut down that Metroid II fangame.

Was just about to say this! So cool that it's a Metroid 2 reimagining.

 

[OBias]

My god... Nintendo actually won this E3!

 

[DecoReturns]

Thats why that fan game was killed off.

along with other reasons

 

[NotLiquid]

Metroid didn't just come back from the grave. It bunker busted a fucking morgue. What the fuck.

 

[Fast Forward]

Damn why can't this be on Switch?

Seriously.

Like, I still have my New XL, but I rather play games on my Switch going forward.

 

[Pandy]

Samus Returns

 

[Lucifon]

Whyyy is this not on Switch too as a downloadable game.

 

[Bobo Dakes]

So now you know why AM2R got their cease and desist.

 

[SporeCrawler]

There's your Metroid!

they also have metroid prime 4

 

[GlitchyDegree]

Ha another Metroid 2 remake

 

[Conrad Link]

lol everyone can understand the AM2R hate now by Nintendo.

 

[Opa-Pa]

METROID 2 REMAKE YOU GUYS HOLY HELL. NINTENDO REDEEMED.

 

[dimmer]

Another Metroid! So a 2d for 3ds and a Prime for the Switch. This is unbelievable..

 

[Staccat0]

I hope they make this a downloadable game for Switch in a few years.

 

[marc^o^]

What is Nintendo thinking :-/

 

[Neoleo2143]

Huh, so that's why AM2R got the C&D. It's still a brilliant game so go play it if you can.

 

[Joelstinton14]

That couldve been in the Spotlight honestly

Nah, they done the right thing. Announced it the right way. Let people lose their shit over Prime 4. Then quietly announce this. Good vibes all round. If it was the other way round or something, reactions would be much more negative.

 

[Lynd7]

I guess they will sprinkle in more announcements via treehouse, the spotlight was just the start.

 

[ugly]

Graphics look poor coming off the visual prestige of super, zero and fusion

 

[PhantomKnight]

The spotlight was the most effective of the conferences for me, though Sony was my favourite more because of the style of game and I liked Ubisoft because of the presentation of the conference. Nintendo was effective because it sold me on the switch, Xenoblade looks good, Mario looks fun, a promise of a new Pokemon. The only thing lacking was some third party games mainly from Japanese publishers.

 

[The Main Event]

Better than expected thanks to the Pokémon-Metroid "announcement" but still

-No news about Virtual Console
-No idea about what the DLC2 Pack for Zelda is about (but they sell the Season Pass alright)
-No general idea about what are their plans for the releases cycles in 2018 despite the announcements
-A few more ports from Wii U would be welcomed by everyone

E3 is not over yet More announcements/details throughout the show

 

[JMY86]

Well the MercurySteam makes me feel better if I don't buy this...

 

[VDenter]

So will this remake be better than the fan remake?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

MercurySteam? Oooh, sorry. We already got a Metroid 2 remake that is guaranteed to be superior to whatever they put out.

 

[zelas]

3DS isnt giving the Switch the crown anytime soon!

 

[Bobo Dakes]

Whyyy is this not on Switch too as a downloadable game.

So they can sell it for more on a console more people own.

 

[zeromcd73]

MercurySteam? Really?

 

[Vampirolol]

I wouldn't worry about MercurySteam, their Castlevania game on 3DS was actually pretty good. This by the way doesn't look great visually.

 

[Leonsito]

Mercury Steam ?? Hype cancelled

 

[dreamlongdead]

Nintendo keeps giving 3DS love.

 

[Aldric]

metroid 2 was my first metroid game and l loved the fangame l'm so happy fuck

 

[Earthbound64]

Best new Metroid game since Fusion.
Really excited about this.

 

[ChaosXVI]

Oh man...AM2R was killed because of this...curious to see which games turns out better.

 

[Sora the Cat]

The spotlight was the most effective of the conferences for me, though Sony was my favourite more because of the style of game and I liked Ubisoft because of the presentation of the conference. Nintendo was effective because it sold me on the switch, Xenoblade looks good, Mario looks fun, a promise of a new Pokemon. The only thing lacking was some third party games mainly from Japanese publishers.

And it isn't over yet. If it's anything like other years, new things will pop up randomly on the treehouse live.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Oh... MercurySteam.

 

[erikNORML]

Reggie: Let's unveil a 3ds game.

Me to friend: Ugh 3ds game, this will be boring

Nintendo: FUCKING METROID

Me: :-O

 

[Staccat0]

So they can sell it for more on a console more people own.

You didn't answer the question.

 

[FloweryMarston]

I'M CUMMING HOLY SHIT

 

[joker3782]

I see some people aren't too happy about Mercury Steam making it. What's wrong with them?

 

[Peterc]

I want a fuck*ng switch port on release not later

 

[Lucifon]

So they can sell it for more on a console more people own.

I'd argue a large chunk of the type of gamers interested in a new metroid are pretty done with the 3ds at this point.

 

[Spladam]

They were obligated to this after taking down AM2R

 

[Griss]

Treehouse Thread guys

 

[Crazyorloco]

Reggie: Let's unveil a 3ds game.

Me to friend: Ugh 3ds game, this will be boring

Nintendo: FUCKING METROID

Me: :-O

Lmao that's how I felt. Time to play a 3DS again. Well played Nintendo.
