Nintendo isn't out of announcements, even after their Spotlight, it seems, as a new game was revealed during their Treehouse. Metroid: Samus Returns is a reimagining of the 1991 title Metroid II: Return of Samus.

​

Developer MercurySteam will be handling the game, and are known for developing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. It'll release on Semptember 15.

So you could emulate on pc

With occasional bugs and none of the in your face portability.

well.... YA, there is the 2ds also

 

[Player-1]

Good to know the failure of federation force didn't stop nintendo from releasing another metroid game on the 3ds. even if it is a remake.

 

[WiiUBricker]

I doubt it will be better than AM2R but looking forward to it regardless.

 

[KingVamp]

Here is more love.

 

[raulpica]

Well, Nintendo, only took you 15 YEARS to get back to a main Metroid.

I'd have liked nice 2D graphics a-la Fusion but that's what dem kids want today. I hope it captures Zero Mission's awesomeness.

 

[Kioku]

Oh my god. They're actually listening???

 

[DrkBeam]

The graphics looks like a other m game, it's a great advancement over metroid prime hunters and federation forces, I hope this is aiming to 60 fps, besides it is on 3d, with alien covenant, metroid prime 4 and samus returns it's a great year for a metroid fan, I didn't play am2r because I played metroid 2 colorizer, I didn't want to play it for nostalgia sake, Iirc the ost is out of place for a metroid game, samus returns is not developed by a couple of people, more diversity is great in this case, it is not just a remaster with better graphics

 

[Maximilious]

I'm really pumped for this game. The news about Prime 4 was a surprise, but I couldn't get into that series for some reason, just have always been a fan of the 2D series instead.

Game play looked amazing.

They fixed my one annoyance about metroidvania's. That or theyre taking cues from AM2R.

Wait, metroids can be hurt by beam weaponry? That's against canon. Missiles are the de-facto way to deal with Metroids.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Super Metroid composers? This is gunna be good music if anything.

 

[BARNWEY]

So, does this mean I need to know what happened in the original Metroid?

The story of Metroid is really simple, you probably don't even need to know it...

Seems that this beam weaponry is enhanced by this Aethion energy to bypass Metroid defenses, probably this energy or whatever was construed by the Chozo as part of THEIR defenses should Metroids go rogue, seeing as the Chozo don't use missiles themselves.

Honestly this looks like the greatest of godsends, I'm speaking to a friend and he honestly thinks it looks like it shames AM2R.

 

[lexarvn]

Well, I guess it makes more sense why Nintendo shut down AM2R now

 

[F3NR1S]

5 days before my birthday and I'm screaming inside so much I might puke, just hope the new counterattack ability doesn't make the game too easy

 

[Nemix77]

I both love and hate Nintendo, might have to pickup the New 2DS XL.

 

[3DPiper]

This is Zero Mission for Metroid II..!
Time to buy a 2DS!

 

[Deboog]

Fans: We want 2D Metroid!
Nintendo: God, they still won't shut up will they? Wasn't Federation Force enough for them to give up hope? Fine. MercuryStream go make some shit.
MercuryStream: But we don't know how to make good games.
Nintendo: Jesus. Okay. Here's the source code for AM2R we stole before striking it. Just change some stuff and add a melee attack.


I think people are a little over excited. Not that I care. I don't even like Metroid.
