Ahh that release date is bad for me. Right in between Destiny 2 and Danganronpa V3. I'll have to pick it up later.

 

[Quonny]

This girl would be great at ASMR.

 

[direct_quote]

I'm happy, looks good - just like the 2.5D Metroid I always imagined would look on 3DS. I bet it looks pretty cool with the 3D depth on the backgrounds.

Yup this is so great finally getting a new 2d Metroid from Nintendo, I'm so happy!

 

[psychowave]

TBF George Lucas created Star Wars.

Hey, I'm not saying all his work is good. I hate Other M as much as the next guy, but I think as long as Sakamoto stays the hell away from the plot and just focuses on gameplay, it's probably fine.

 

[Z3M0G]

Yes I like the rest of this game's look.

I always knew the Suit gets upgraded to the one she has in M3 and the Prime games... she starts with original suit from M1.

 

[chicken_pasta]

Looks fantastic.

 

[Realeza]

Is MercurySteam really that bad? I don't even know who they are.

They did an awesome game, a terrible sequel and a mediocre portable game. For all we know the issues of their latest games were Konami's fault.

 

[Immaculate]

that melee counter looks sooooo dope

 

[eliochip]

Interesting. Coming soon too. I'm just glad Metroid is back

 

[BubblegumCrisis]

the counter move looks incredibly easy to execute and overpowered. Sort of trivializes every enemy encounter just like the sense move in Other M.
Everything I've seen seems rather underwhelming at the moment.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Oof at no switch version. Apparently not even worth an HD resolution port. My 3ds is gathering dust. Guess I'll play this

 

[Jazzem]

Actually it looks great for a 3DS game, and it's 60fps.

Wait it is? It's coming through as 30 on the stream, did they confirm that?

 

[Rock And Roll]

Explain to the folks at home what a Metroid is.

What the hell is a Treehouse anyway

 

[Schnozberry]

Sakamoto wanted Other M to play like this but Team Ninja insisted on making the game 3D.

That's true, but the story beats and control scheme that everyone hated were 100% Nintendo.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Looks like the Prime/Fusion days are back goddamn Nintendo <3

 

[Vire]

This looks good?

 

[Thequietone]

Explain to the folks at home what a Metroid is.

Need I remind you of the meme why can't Metroid crawl? It started because someone actually thought Samus was a guy named Metroid.

 

[aesupreme1]

Game looks so good. I love that they are utilizing the 3D aspect as well. I am going to miss 3D in games when they no longer create for the system.

 

[parkinho]

Well it is in fact an ugly looking game being made on awful hardware by a developer with a dubious track-record. Do you want us to fellatio it because of the brand name alone or something?

Bless.

[themagicalkitsune]

This girl would be great at ASMR.

Is that an arms typo or did you really mean asmr

 

[Dunkley]

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.

Yeah, I mean I admit here this is a better late than never situation since a 2.5D Metroid actually might be is pretty high on my megaton scale.

 

[BRocknRolla]

They're giving Samus upgrades like crazy.

Morph Ball?
Bombs?
Spider Ball?
Spring Jump?

All in like 15 minutes.

Yeah, I always thought it was a weird open to this game, but I guess it's a compromise between people who know the formula and people who were new to the series. But yeah, just like the original.

 

[Wanderer5]

I think this looks far and away better than anything AM2R did. For one, Samus's sprite isn't stolen from Zero Mission.



It's in the trailer. September 15th.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhOx-FpEAQk

Damn, so soon.

 

[kyo2004]

They sold me with that gameplay.

September can't come so soon...

 

[Jacobs]

I always knew the Suit gets upgraded to the one she has in M3 and the Prime games... she starts with original suit from M1.

O wait she has another suit now? Didn't notice it LOL, this one is much better.

 

[Wildo09]

anybody saying "wow this is going to be terrible because mercury steam" while they've been showing twenty minutes of good ass gameplay are garbage shitposters

Yep! Shut up for a minute and watch the damn gameplay.

 

[Cpt Lmao]

Looking at the Treehouse stream it looks amazing

They made the Castlevania Lords of Shadows games

1. Lords of Shadow wasn't a remake
2. The issues Lords of Shadow were certainly non-technical

So, taking these points into account. How will Mercury Steam cause huge problems in remaking a gameboy Metroid?

anybody saying "wow this is going to be terrible because mercury steam" while they've been showing twenty minutes of good ass gameplay are garbage shitposters

It's straight up copy and paste opinioning.

 

[momshotdad]

Is MercurySteam really that bad? I don't even know who they are.

They got in a deal with Konami and it didn't end well for anyone.

 

[Ashby]

Shit, just occurred to me that I hope this runs well on the Non-New 3DSes or that there isn't some functionality that makes the New 3DS version seem essential over the Non-New one. I've gotten this far without having to buy a New 3DS, don't screw me at the last second Nintendo!

 

[Quonny]

Is that an arms typo or did you really mean asmr

I meant ASMR. Her voice is very soothing and soft.

 

[Zubz]

I never heard of Mercury Steam, but this looks great! Glad we're getting some Metroid in the near future to make the wait for Prime 4 easier!

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Timing on the parry looks a little too lenient, and the fact that she hasn't moved and fired her weapon at the same time are a little alarming, but it honestly looks great! Two Metroids in one day, be still my beating heart....

 

[foxuzamaki]

anybody saying "wow this is going to be terrible because mercury steam" while they've been showing twenty minutes of good ass gameplay are garbage shitposters

This

 

[SalvaPot]

Just started watching but Is this for only the new 3ds or can I play it on my older 3ds?

In any 3DS and 2DS system.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Looks absolutely fantastic, and has continued to look as such the whole time I've watched it on stream

Crying peebabies who think a 3DS game can be ported to Switch and look decent should go away

Will buy and enjoy because a good game is a good game

 

[RagnarokX]

The dumbest thing is people complaining about Other M vibes from things that weren't bad things about Other M. Samus being more agile is a good thing that should be carried over to other games.

 

[Toxi]

Today is mindblowing

13 fucking years since the last 2D Metroid and there's a new one and it looks GOOD

And a Prime 4 announcement with nearly 10 years since Prime 3

 

[GWX]

I'm loving the melee move and the overall feel of the combat, coming from the stream. I was the most cautious when the name MercurySteam was mentioned, but it looks surprisingly good.

 

[LordKasual]

3DS? No switch?

Ok...

 

[Huge Succeeded]

anybody saying "wow this is going to be terrible because mercury steam" while they've been showing twenty minutes of good ass gameplay are garbage shitposters

yeah the treehouse gameplay is not bad

 

[Sora the Cat]

I'll be completely honest here, as much as I love a new 2D metroid... this looks hideous to me, it might be a good game at the end but fuck it looks ugly to me.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

AM2R had to die for a MercurySteam remake on the stupid 3ds?
*sigh*

It dident die it got released. Come on man atleast be somewhat positive.

 

[Realeza]

Atmosphere looks amazing. Very colorful, yet retaining the moody Metroid look.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

lmao when I check one thread before reading the rest of the first page to see another metroid for switch was announced. Cool I can play both

 

[Bronetta]

Today is mindblowing

13 fucking years since the last 2D Metroid and there's a new one and it looks GOOD

And a Prime 4 announcement with nearly 10 years since Prime 3

After a decade of suffering, its a good day to be a Metroid fan.

 

[evilromero]

Comes out 9/15? Hot fucking ass yes. So happy I don't have to wait. Looks so good.

 

[Garlador]

Giddy with glee. Loved what I saw.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Wrong thread.

 

[LeonSPBR]

2017 is the year of Samus.
