Having sold my 3DS and owning a Switch this one hurts me the most. I'm seriously gonna have to talk to Reggie haha.

Finally, a Metroid that utilizes the second screen for the map. It only took THIRTEEN YEARS.

No official info yet but this seems to be implied by twitter posts.
Pretty much. For a fan game, it's pretty good. But it's not some sort of magnum opus masterpiece. If Nintendo had released it themselves at retail and I had bought it, I probably would have been disappointed.
AM2R has been in development forever, so most definitely after.
It's likely been worked on before AM2R was officially released, given that there were rumors Mercury Steam was involved in Metroid project before

To be fair, he was also involved with Super Metroid
TBF George Lucas created Star Wars.
Well all one needs to do is watch the footage and see this is no Mirror of Fate. It's pretty Metroid faithful.
Sakamoto wanted Other M to play like this but Team Ninja insisted on making the game 3D.

I don't have any interest in this because metroidvanias don't really seem to be my thing (interesting in Prime games though. I've only played 1, but that reminded me of Zelda). Happy that Metroid fans who have yet to switch to switch will have a metroid game to play soon though.
Also, the developer is wearing a dope shirt. I want it.

Eww, Mercury Steam. They did what Team Ninja didn't quite succeed with and killed a classic, now they get another shot at it?
Other than that, the gameplay looks good. Melee counters are silly but the animations look just like Super Metroid. Just like Bloodstained, as long as the gameplay is right, the rest doesn't matter much.

Boss fights look cool as fuck.
And the melee looks like a great addition too.

I have been playing AMR2 it's great but it's definitely not same league gameplay wise as Super Metroid or Fusion, being handed many of the powers right away is nice but there is a loss of wanting to discover new areas, also I am not sure why the version I played didn't let u switch to Dpad controls it's better for accuracy.

Shame this didn't come out two years ago, this thread woulda been pure joy, less Switch sadness. Good game then is still good game now! Really lookin forward to playing this with the 3D maxed out, woulda been a real shame to have gone through the whole 3DS lifespan and never gotten a 2D Metroid usin stereo 3D, gonna look great. Prefer it on 3DS cause of that really.

I didn't like everything I saw in the trailer but the ongoing Treehouse gameplay has me sold. It's a more vibrant game than I'd like, but beside that it looks like a solid Metroid game.
The combat also looks more polished than in AM2R, even though the game looks noticeably easier. Encounter design in AM2R could get pretty fucked up and that resulted in a huge difficulty spike halfway through that game. I love its visuals and music but I'm down for a more polished remake

Pretty hype on this considering I won't own a Switch for at least another year.

Real talk! Also Fusion and Zero Mission before that. I shouldnt be so harsh but Other M has be real salty.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Yup
Looks great on the stream.
Mini bosses look fun and the combat looks nice with the analog aiming and a melee attack is a good addition.
I don't think people should be worried.
Nintendo/Sakamoto is overseeing the game (Sakamoto's resume with 2D Metroids are legit) and they are building on top of an existing game with new features, reworked bosses and reworked maps.
Teleport stations are actually a nice addition for backtracking. Map pins and a legend of map icons are nice as well.

Looking at the Treehouse stream it looks amazing
They made the Castlevania Lords of Shadows games

Day one. And why all this negativity and port begging? People should be happy Metroid is back.

Played the shit out of AM2R, will play the shit out of this.
It got CDd after a 1.0 release. It was a known property for years before that. Nintendo clearly allowed it to be released but then did not want further development on it. It's about as gracious a gesture towards fans and the work as any such corporation could be expected to make given the circumstances.

Sigh... this looks like Mercury Steam B-Team that made Mirror of Fate. Not that their A-Team is incredible, but the main LoS games had really good art direction. The art in this game does not look too hot...

Yes, I saw a couple post saying it had no atmosphere. Feels like Metroid to me from the little I've seen and heard.
The 3DS still makes Nintendo a shitton of money.

The pacing seems amazing in this game O_O
I know Mercury Steam has been bad in the past, but seriously, guys, this looks great.
FYI: Some people have said EAD is making MP4, others say it's Retro, others say it's Next Level Games...

I love how there's no hud at all on the top screen, everything's on the bottom
There are zero good reasons to not put this on the Switch too.
