Ohh So.... Didn't knew it was a remake, my fault.......
Yup, Samus Returns is a remake of Metroid 2 on the original Gameboy and is pretty much unrecognizable (for the better in my opinion). I love the original Metroid 2 and played through it recently again, too, but they did go and turn all the lessons they learned from later titles and the horsepower from the 3DS into something that wasn't held back as much.
Very much looking forward to Dread, Mercury did good with Samus Returns and the new movement and sprint bash ability really seem like what SR was missing. Now if only they can properly capture that feeling of Fusion again to be hunted by the SA-X.
If this game takes place after Metroid Fusion, would that mean Samus still has her vulnerability to cold? I wonder if she can absorb a lot of energy from things now, like a real metroid.
If the trailer is to be believed she can, at least temporarily, though she loses the fusion suit (as usual).
Still kinda wondering why people are calling this 2D when it's 2.5D.
Also, to be honest, the art style isn't doing much for me. Looks like the 3DS version with super uninspired UI.
Why can't they make a AAA game in sprites anymore? Is that too much to ask?
2.5D is just marketing lingo if there aren't multiple 2D tracks available to move between, even with the 3D rendering of everything the gameplay itself only happens in two dimensions.
Also yes, it looks like and will likely feel like Samus Returns because it's the same dev studio making it.
