Skip to the final minute.

That's it?

HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY YALL

 

[DeathSparks]

LOL

Screenshot?

 

[Not75Drops]

Feels like something they just threw in after the backlash.

Edit: Oh so that's not the only "appearance". I wouldn't expect much anyway since the game isn't about Samus.

 

[VeryGooster]

Saved by Samus!

Samus can't save this franchise.

 

[SOR5]

errr

[peanutbutterlatte]

Note: Samus died on the way back to her home planet

 

[DeathSparks]

Screenshot?

It's just her spaceship, that's it

 

[Acquiescence]

Salt in the wound.

 

[Whales]

Note: Samus died on the way back to her home planet

lmfao

 

[Marow]

I like the ship.

 

[Kouriozan]

The best Metroid anniversary in the last 8 years.

 

[KarmaCow]

That was even less than I was expecting.

 

[ash_ag]

I hope this is it. Fan-service is a dishonest way to make the game feel authentic. I can appreciate a loose connection to the remaining Metroid universe, but a forced appearance of Samus will only lessen it in my eyes. I'd prefer it much more if it stands well on its own for what it is.

 

[BY2K]

Well it IS a cameo.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Well.

That was bullshit.

 

[SOLDIER]

Samus immediately shows what failures your characters are by one-shooting the alien you fought against.

 

[SmartWaffles]

AM2R sacrificed for this.

 

[maxcriden]

No guarantee this is her only appearance.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I literally can't believe how awful this looks. I'm speechless.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Metroid is too big for Nintendo. Let's be honest.

On the hands of EA and the likes it'd be bigger than Mass Effect.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Can't watch the video. Does a pudgy little Samus squeeze out of the cockpit?

 

[LordOfLore]

I like the ship.

It's the Prime 3 one:

 

[Kyari]

She's been shown talking to the player in a similar deformed art style since early trailers/gameplay footage.


Edit: I guess it's actually other people talking about her.

 

[Golnei]

It's nice to see the ship from Corruption again...?

...I guess...?

 

[JimJamJones]

 

[Mdk7]

Note: Samus died on the way back to her home planet

I laughed but I should honestly cry, as a Metroid fan.

 

[ScriptedReality]

bwahahaha this is so bad lol.

 

[Coffee Dog]

How dare they have the protoganist make a cameo in this spinoff

If you want open world games instead of Metroid, sure!

 

[ElTorro]

She should have shot the marines instead.

Probably not but I'd love to see someone actually make an effort. Shit, the idea of Metroid in frostbite is crazy.

Dead Space meanwhile...

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Go fuck yourself.

And here's the first "it's a spinoff" post.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

That's it?

Is it the final mission or something? If not there could possibly be more cameos

 

[mjc]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SAMUS

 

[Coffee Dog]

And here's the first "it's a spinoff" post.

???

How is it any more or less of a spinoff than triforce heroes, another coop focused dungeon crawler?

It's in a different genre from metroid. How is it not a spinoff, lol.

 

[CronoShot]

What is love. Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.

 

[purseowner]

Go fuck yourself.

What a calm and rational thread.

Spoiler

Indeed - this is a pathetic attempt at fan service.

 

[Piers]

This is what happens when you aren't Mario/Zelda with Nintendo.

 

[Skilletor]

Why does this game look so awful?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

We know it's a spinoff. This is usually the argument made when trying to justify the game looking like complete garbage.

 

[Diprosalic]

Probably not but I'd love to see someone actually make an effort.

were the 3 prime games not an effort?

 

[Rambler]

Why did they even need to send the troopers in the first place?

 

[Dark Cloud]

It's a cameo so I don't see the problem. And she will probably make a few more appearances throughout the game.

 

[HardRojo]

To be honest, the farther this game stays from Samus, the better.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Nintendo why? Your 30th anniversary for one of the biggest game characters ever and you do the equivalent of Capcom releasing Umbrella Corps...
