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.

Why does she have a cable in it.. 3ds battery doesnt even last half an hour? LoL

I imagine that's for the video capture.

It's probably one of Nintendo's test units and that is a debugger that allows you to see what is on screen while things are happening. Or nintendo has a method of extracting graphics using a CTR card...

This looks really cool. I'm a bit wary of what the final quality will be like as it's not a Nintendo-developed game, but still excited anyway. Federation Force was actually a really well made game and wasn't developed by a first party studio either, so that's hopeful. In fact, if Nintendo had announced this game before FF was released, I don't think it would have received any of the ridiculous and totally unjustified level of hate given to it. Nintendo is generous indeed to reward their fanbase of screaming toddlers.

Can someone with a NA 3DS download the 3D trailer from the eShop and share the ID + keys for us EU peasants? Please

I couldn't get in to AM2R and I only got a couple hours in on my Gameboy copy of Metroid 2 ( I did beat back when it launched) I recently bought.

This looks really awesome. I am hoping it looks good in 3D and controls well.\

Zero Mission is my favorite Metroid and ecstatic to see 2D Metroid isn't dead!

 

[pilladoll]

Yay! New Metroid!

 

[antiy]

I look foward to it, but dang.. the people who were playing it on E3 took WAY too long.

Considering how often that Zeta kicked her butt? I wouldn't be surprised that it's a struggle even with experienced players.

She kept getting hit with that multi fireball attack, obviously it's just her skill lol

 

[jamesaa]

I'll probably be picking it up, looks fun - probably not as good as AM2R, but still worth.

Sushi Striker looks fun though.

but it isn't smash... /s

If they made it for Switch as well, I would get it. But there is no way I am buying that for a nearly EoL console

all i know is i'd like to ask her out on a date.

 

[Bimmel]

So that's the reason why the killed the fan project?

Well.. I'm very excited to be honest. Looks fantastic.

tbh, I'm more hyped for this than Prime4.
I watched the full presentation for this, and was initially sceptical (given MercurySteams involvement), but I was honestly very impressed with everything I saw.
I'm not much of a fan of special editions, but I'll probably pre-order the one that's been announced for the UK:

While supplies last, fans will also be able to purchase a special edition of Metroid: Samus Returns which includes a physical version of the game, a download code for the original Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus to be redeemed in Nintendo eShop, a SteelBook®, a sound-selection CD featuring 25 tracks from across the Metroid franchise, a gold “S” pin badge, a Morph Ball 3D keyring and a 40-page artbook.*

...just a shame that it doesn't also include one (or both) of the amiibo's.

*groan* So much games I want to get! Two Pokemon on 3DS, Mario and Luigi remake on 3DS, DragonBall Fighter Z, and this game. Too much plan for pre-order.

There's a part of me that is super cynical about this. But another where I'm glad to finally have Metroid 2 in a playable form. Trying to play the original on game boy, and later on 3ds virtual console, is just painful. It sorely missed what made super Metroid legendary. And how much super evolved the game. At least now, u have a chance of being able to play through it properly.

 

[QCLasky]

i'll definitely "buy" it
