I need the metroid amiibo

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

We need a petition to bring This 2D Metroid for the Switch!

 

[yoonshik]

 

[lucius]

Now Nintendo release Trilogy for Switch at least on EShop and trifecta is complete

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Man, that looked fun, but I traded my 3DS away a long time ago. Are those 2DS things worth much or are they just cheap ass junk for the kiddies?

The 2ds is exactly the same as a 3ds on the inside, just no 3d screen and case. It'll play this game fine.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

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

I don't remember who, but someone nailed this exact prediction yesterday because prime/fusion came back similarly after the series was dormant.

 

[LegendX48]

This will be remastered and brought over to Switch, right? RIGHT?

Spoiler

I just gave my 3DS to a friend.

I wouldn't count on it.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Change that Avatar lol

I know, I need to, lol.

Funny, because I put this up immediately after the 2015 E3 Direct. What a difference 2 years makes.

 

[140.85]

I'm almost impressed with how ugly it looks tbh

Yeah it looks kinda bland.

 

[Grudy]

As a metroid newbie who enjoys metroidvania quite a lot, where can I start with this series? I got a 3DS and getting a switch when MHXX is out.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Sakamoto just said that this partnership with Mercurysteam has opened up new potential for the 2D series, hopefully that means Other M will be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Same thing I was thinking. Really hope it means we'll see more 2d Metroid exploration in the near future.

As a metroid newbie who enjoys metroidvania quite a lot, where can I start with this series? I got a 3DS and getting a switch when MHXX is out.

With the exception of the Prime series, and maybe even then, I'd say the stories are thin enough that it doesn't matter a whole lot where you start. It's mostly about aesthetic, environments, and whatever strange alien creatures and tech you're going to encounter.

what a cool guy

 

[atbigelow]

I strongly dislike the melee counter and if me not buying a game I don't want means I don't get future games of the same type that I also wouldn't want, I wouldn't care by default.

If a fan can make a 2d metroid that appealed to me more than what Nintendo does, that's not my problem.



Don't be an idiot.

You were the one chalking up a game that stole assets. I am fine if you don't find this game interesting, because not every game is for everyone. But holding a work of IP theft up on a pillar is not a great idea.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Is this up for preorder anywhere yet?

 

[Toxi]

ok it looks good, but nothing like Metroid 2 in any way, which is pretty sacred to me. But oh well, I'll just pretend Samus took another Metroid hunting trip to a completely different planet afterwards

We've already got a great Metroid 2 fan remake, so I'm totally fine with a great Metroid 2 complete reimagining

 

[Mashing]

I was thoroughly impressed by the look of this remake. It's buttery smooth.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Happy to see Mercury Steam on Metroid!

 

[LeonSPBR]

Game looks AMAZING!

Special edition with 25-song soundtrack!

Two amiibo including squishy Metroid!

3D trailer on the eShop!

HNNNNNNG!

YEAR. OF. SAMUS.

WE ARE IN THE BEST TIMELINE.

 

[Ocaso]

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 agree. Had this released a couple of years ago I think reception would have been warmer. I am personally hyped that I'm going to get to see Samus in stereo 3D.

 

[Maedhros]

MoF was garbage and had tons of problems but the visuals were not one of them. It looked great and made great use of the 3D so on that level I can see why they picked. If Nintendo helps them fix the level design, combat, and performance this could totally work.

You're asking basically a totally different game...

Man... two Metroid games, not excited for any of them... holy shit... =/

 

[Creamium]

(the metroid is squishy)

 

[ScientificPizza]

Limited edition

I love that logo

 

[Human Trashcan]

Mercury Steam huh... was that castlevania 3DS game any good?

I wish this wasn't 2.5D but what can you do. At least it's a new Metroid.

 

[EatChildren]

port this shit to switch please

 

[Agent_Carnage]

I strongly dislike the melee counter and if me not buying a game I don't want means I don't get future games of the same type that I also wouldn't want, I wouldn't care by default.

Don't be an idiot.

Dont get upset when Nintendo doesnt announce another Metroid game after Prime 4 for another 10 years or so.

What if the reviews say this game is amazing please buy it. Will you still not buy? Give the game a chance is all I ask.

 

[LegendX48]

I need them!

 

[eXistor]

This E3 is the greatest rebuttal to my cynicism about Metroid ever.


Watch the Treehouse gameplay when you get a chance. This looks excellent.

I just got home from work, but I'll be sure to check it out when I get the chance.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Gameplay wise it looks really good.

 

[Toxi]

As a metroid newbie who enjoys metroidvania quite a lot, where can I start with this series? I got a 3DS and getting a switch when MHXX is out.

Super Metroid. It's on the 3DS virtual console and is considered one of the best games of all time.

 

[XaosWolf]

mercury steam?

keeping expectations in check

This. Castlavania Mirror of Fate is one of my most infuriatingly disappointing games.

Hopefully this being a remake of a pre-existing game means they can't fuck it up.

 

[Cuburt]

I remember thinking Metroid 2's soundtrack was mediocre outside of the opening tunnel theme, and yet I really want that CD.

Collector in me, I suppose.

The Treehouse stream said the CD is called "Samus Archives" and is a selection of Metroid music.

 

[suaveric]

UNBELIEVABLE!!

For YEARS, a lot of you would bitch about the lack of Metroid at these events. Now we get not one but TWO Metroid announcements.

All I read is
"It's ugly"
"Looks easy"
"AM2R looks better"
"Eww, it's on 3DS"

Just....wow....

The 3DS complaint is a bit relevant. A lot of us have moved on to Switch. The rest is crap

 

[konjak]

the artstyle reminds me of A Link Between Worlds (this game looks somewhat better) which looked like it did in order to be 60 fps and 3D

 

[cubicle47b]

The game looks fun. I'm sad it's a 3DS game instead of a Switch game, but what are you going to do.

 

[Toxi]

This. Castlavania Mirror of Fate is one of my most infuriatingly disappointing games.

Hopefully this being a remake of a pre-existing game means they can't fuck it up.

The gameplay shown so far looks very good. And stuff like infinite bomb jumping shows a respect for core elements of the series.

 

[Zubz]

That Gooey Li'l Metroid's going to get so dirty, so fast. But I want it!

Time to fight the scalpers again.

I'm in it to win it this time!

 

[13ruce]

Holy fucking shit i cried again lol.
2 fucking metroid games.

Nintendo won E3.

 

[marmoka]

Happy 31st anniversary Samus!!

 

[R0ckman]

You can put the GAF logo on the Metroid's head at this rate.

 

[Ridley327]

(the metroid is squishy)

I'm impressed that they managed to do a good job of replicating the artwork appearance of the armor sheen on Samus, but goddamn, that Metroid is just way too cool.

 

[Mael]

Super Metroid. It's on the 3DS virtual console and is considered one of the best games of all time.

It's on the new 3DS VC,
there's Metroid and Metroid 2 on VC though.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

Trailer in 3d on 3ds today, nice.

Is it available now? What's the frame rate?

 

[Timeaisis]

Damn, that was a good trailer. Nintendo finally realized that people are hungry for Metroid games with all the indies out there and finally jumped on it. It's about time. I'm so glad 2D and 3D Metroid can coexist. This is awesome news.

 

[ScientificPizza]

You can put the GAF logo on the Metroid's head at this rate.

hahaha

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck yes!!

 

[eyesradar]

i need these two amiibos in my fucking life.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

As a metroid newbie who enjoys metroidvania quite a lot, where can I start with this series? I got a 3DS and getting a switch when MHXX is out.

Start with Zero Mission if you can. Or play Metroid Prime trilogy. I wouldent try and play the original game it hasnt aged well along with the original Metroid 2.

 

[Persona7]

New amiibo are fucking dope.

 

[Dunkley]

Trailer upload on YouTube already has more likes than the Federation Force trailer got over the course of 2 years.

I know it probably means jack shit in the grand scheme of things but it's nice to consider how much the reaction to this differs from Federation Force's announcement.

Nintendo did good, probably my favorite announcement this E3 besides OG Xbox BC.

RIP AM2R
