This just made my day, think about how was in the graphics / immersion department Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii, to think about Prime 4 on switch makes me wonder all sort of crazy stuff.
Bad side, is not going to be done by retro.
To the 2D Metroid wishers Prime saga is a wonderful saga and I cannot think of a better conversion of Metroid 2D to FPA genre, in the 2D... I think AM2R is the best thing out there these days and I dont think Nintendo will be doing another 2DMetroid again, I would love that samus returns had 2D hiDef pixelart but... well we cant ask for everything to be perfect.
About the Mercury Steam guys, the 1st lords of shadow wasnt bad, and thats all, but Im spaniard as they are, knowing our people habits, they recycled code from Mirror of Fate for sure, I didnt like too how Samus looked travelling through corridors she seemed very poor animated and light in the physics way, It made me remember like a cheap unity fan game sometimes while watching the stream, and I also didnt like the Zeta Metroid(i dont recall 100% but i think that was a Zeta ) design too skinny and long tailed, I cannot see very much of a metroid in its design. Dunno what is your opinion but Fusion Omega and AM2R Omega and Zeta looked pretty badass to me.
And lastly, as a big fan of Metroid, the cover just needs some re-design, it feels like 5 min work on gimp, I like that samus appears in the classic position but she just doesnt blend with the background it seemes like she is pasted onto the background with some glow at her borders and then the title with awful font.
Ill buy it anyway, is a metroid game after all.
