Dope design.

The boss battle currently on Treehouse Live is fantastic. Those counter crits, dragging it down with the grapple beam and blasting the fuck out of it with missiles, HNNNG!

I had to turn off the stream, but I can't wait to watch the whole thing when it's uploaded. This game looks like it's combining the puzzle aspects of Prime's bosses with new ideas.

MORE AMIIBO

;_;

 

[Moff]

squishy metroid amiibo!

 

[tebunker]

I guess it would've cost too much to get a Switch version going atm.

But honestly who cares? If you guys want more Samus here is your chance to out up or shut up. Nintendo has two Metroid games coming. Vote with you wallet, especially if they both end ip being good.

This Samus Returns remake looks solid

 

[kunonabi]

hoLY SHIT THOSE AMIIBO

 

[Ridley327]

Yo, that Metroid Amiibo.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Aw... I want that Metroid Amiibo,.

 

[Envelope]

squishy metroid omg

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Goodness gracious these amiibo

 

[Plinko]

I am ALL OVER that Metroid amiibo.

 

[Wanderer5]

Aw that metroid amiibo.

 

[atbigelow]

That boss battle looked awesome. Using the Grapple Beam to yank a Zeta Metroid off the ceiling is fucking awesome.

Also I am buying both those amiibo. Fuck.

 

[Hours Left]

That squishy Metroid amiibo! O____________________O

 

[AndyMoogle]

Those two amiibos look great.

 

[MrSaturn99]

SQUISHY AMIIBO

 

[Jacobs]

But the metroid one looks really cool.

 

[MrT-Tar]

Liking those amiibos

 

[Triz]

I haven't bought an Amiibo in 2 years....I want the squishy metroid Amiibo.

 

[eXistor]

Wasn't exactly blown away by the trailer and it's by MS? I'll probably get it, but they have a lot to prove.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I don't buy amiibo but I think I'm picking these up.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

That classic Samus amiibo yo, goddamn.

Yep, definitely need to whittle down my Smash series a bit.

 

[RootCause]

Wow MEtroid Amiibo. Also, no more drunk Samus.

The 3DS has a huge installed base compared to the just released Switch. Development for 3DS also requires less resources, this game is out soon and would no doubt take a lot longer if they had to build it for Switch as well with higher quality assets.

It's really not complicated to grasp.

Why not offer a a switch version?

 

[shiftplusone]

I feel like this metroid 2 shit has been on for 3 hours


cool amiibo though

 

[The Main Event]

Shit where can I pre-order

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

Looks better than Mirrors of Fate. Except those pointless "cinematic" action sequences, but if they're limited to bosses then I won't mind much.

 

[Bronetta]

No, thats nonsense. I'm not buying a game I played a very good fan remake for last year for the vague hope that they'll make one that doesn't use crappy 3d models down the line.

OK then don't. The rest of will enjoy the game.

 

[ggx2ac]

Oh shit, those Amiibo look good.

 

[dragonlife]

wtf that metroid amiibo is amazing

 

[Sojiro]

God dammit those amibos look really good! I must resist buying.....

 

[foxuzamaki]

Mmm! Dat amiibo

 

[Yukinari]

Yo the squishy metroid amiibo, when can we get a squishy samus?

 

[BRocknRolla]

You'll have HD port of this before Prime 4.

I mean, I'd love that, but is there actually any precedent for this? Isn't Monster Hunter the only thing that's had that kind of port?

 

[iFirez]

Anyone screenshot those Amiibo? They're amazing.

 

[ScientificPizza]

i don't own any amiibo but that metroid looks very good

 

[Yarbskoo]

All these amiibo I need to buy.

 

[Joqu]

I need that squishy metroid amiibo in my life

 

[Mael]

not liking the stream now that I am seeing it, everything is too zoomed in, there's only ever one or two enemies on screen at once.. the jumping looks janky

So it's a faithful remake of Metroid 2 then!
Seriously they used something like 8 different sprites for the hugeass Samus sprite in M2:RoM.
Most of the time you couldn't physically have more than 1 or 2 enemies on screen because all the available sprite adresses were filled up.

 

[celebi23]

Might anyone have the login info for nintendo's e3 press kit site?

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

amiibo yes omg

 

[VDenter]

No one is obligated to be happy about a game that doesn't look good just because it says "Metroid" in the title.

True. Also it is undeniably going to be compared to AM2R.

 

[evilromero]

Oh god the amiibo. Fuck why. I must have them. Fucking ass fuck shit they look awesome.

 

[dukeoflegs]

Never got into amiibos but damn that metroid is sick!

 

[Conrad Link]

Those Amiibo are amazing lol.

So happy!

 

[Agent_Carnage]

No, thats nonsense. I'm not buying a game I played a very good fan remake for last year for the vague hope that they'll make one that doesn't use crappy 3d models down the line.

Then you are proving Nintendos point that Metroid doesnt sell. Doesnt look that bad.

 

[C.Olimar788]

Those amiibo look SO GOOD THO

I knew it was right to wait for a second Samus amiibo instead of caving and getting the mediocre SSB Samus. I knew it all along.

 

[boiled goose]

Samus amiibo looked amazing.

Squishy metroid cool too!

 

[blame space]

squishy Metroid amiibo confirmed

 

[Jacobs]

I want that special edition!

 

[Dartastic]

I just wish this was coming to Switch also. It's going to feel absolutely archaic playing this on a 3DS.
