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.

Insert AM2R Joke here*

 

[MiiJack]

They could milk...uhhh...remake every 2d Metroid on the 3DS.

 

[petethepug]

So were getting two Metroid games now? kool bro.
Thank god for freeshop

 

[hobbledehoy899]

I bet Nintendo didn't hire any of the AM2R team for this...

 

[DeoNaught]

hopefully better than Federal force

 

[Olmectron]

If it wasn't MercurySteam I'd be excited.
Fingers crossed it's up to the quality of the previous 2D games.

I really enjoyed Castlevania: Mirrors of Fate's gameplay. I think this Metroid remake will be good.

 

[ShadowOne333]

No. Metroid II is unrelated to Metroid I in terms of plot. Hell, it's the one game without Ridley.

Wait until they add him just because in this one.

Ouch* Too soon

 

[SG854]

2 new Metroid amiibos.

I bet the switch will get it too. No bottom screen being used on the 3ds.

Maybe they will reuse the same engine and remake super, the original and fusion as well.

 

[osaka35]

*heavy breathing*

 

[TotalInsanity4]

hell fucking yes.

I hope its just as fluid as AM2R. A lot of gameplay in the trailer looks preanimated.

Just got done with the Samus Returns portion of the Treehouse, and that is actually what battles look like!

 

[SonicfanCEMUTesting]

So that's why they take down AM2R.


Because they decided to make their own, official version instead.

Like with fluid controls and all? So the stuff featured in the trailer is directly under my control? Not that I just push a button and Samus does epic shit, but that I press the button and Samus can do portions of that epic shit with each button press?

AM2R will probably still be better. Metroid II lacks... everything except Metroids, and this doesn't look like a Zero Mission type of game.

 

[Xabring]

Not one....BU TWO METROID GAMES!!!!><!?>!?>!?!>?>!?!>


Nintendo, you really want my Wallet to DRY.

It is made by the different company, not by Nintendo, so of course the gameplay mechanic, graphics and visuals will look differently based on what their could add on this game rather than just do the thing Nintendo did.

 

[Kennerc]

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

Even if you did, there's zero mission on the GBA, great game.
BTW I hope there's an "extra chapter" in this one too.

So 343 is returning to Retro and we have a 2.5d metroid. Why did I sell my 3ds?
