(the metroid is squishy)

My heart, this may be the first Amiibo I pre order

 

[KodaRuss]

Guess Ill have to buy a cheap 2DS to play this at some point.

 

[RootCause]

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.

Zero Mission is a great place to start. Game is amazing too.
Also, I hope we get a Fusion Skin unlock.

 

[sinonobu]

Metroid is celebrating its 31st anniversay lmao

 

[Realeza]

So now every rational person agrees this looked fantastic? Good.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Yes Nintendo

Please port this game to Switch, even though the hardware in question is eons apart and it would take a great deal of reworking and money to do, to the point that it would basically be an entirely new development venture

Why won't you do this

 

[Ridley327]

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.

Giving people what they want tends to generate a positive response!

 

[Chaos17]

And that's why we have 3D, for those cool camera effect

 

[Morts]

Those Metroid amiibo are the only interesting ones they announced today for me.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

What?!? Two (I'm hoping) traditional Metroids? This isn't the modern Nintendo I know and resent.

The modern Nintendo I know would just smear some peanut butter on a playing card and slap it on hour forehead. Telling us we should be thankful for anything at all.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

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



I'm in it to win it this time!

There you go the thinkers of Champions. Gotta fight the damn scalpers. Wishing you best of luck.

 

[Persona7]

Switch owners begging for scraps are embarrassing.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Yes Nintendo

We can just emulate it.

 

[SuomiDude]

I want that Metroid amiibo like right now. Looks amazing and it's actually squishy.

 

[Pinky]

Metroid is celebrating its 31st anniversay lmao

31st

31
3 + 1
3 + 1 = 4

4!

Now it makes sense!

 

[Toxi]

Everyone saying this game looks ugly, remember where the series started.

Nice art can contribute to a game's tone, but even shitty 8-bit graphics can establish a wonderful atmosphere.

 

[beril]

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

AM2R is nothing like Metroid 2 either. But yes this at least looks interesting as its own thing

 

[Lyte Edge]

 

[sphinx]

composers from Super Metroid, confirmed on Stream. :O

I gotta admit, hearing magmoor caverns' music increased the hype a bit

 

[Dog Problems]

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

Calling people "garbage shitposters" for being skeptical about a developer that has a bad track record is a bit extreme.

 

[aesupreme1]

(the metroid is squishy)

They look amazing. Gonna have to take a trip to Gamestop today and pre-order those and the special edition.

 

[Lord Frieza]

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

Okay, cool. I see those are cheap. I may get one

 

[Nintenleo]

Two Metroid in the same day.

I can barely breath.

 

[Mael]

And that's why we have 3D, for those cool camera effect

They were the most boring shit to pull off in Other M and highly repetitive too.
Hopefully it's not mandatory and they're really varied this time.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

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.

Unless the reviews reveal they gave it a sprite art style, I'm very unlikely to have my mind changed. I own all the 2d metroid as downloads on 3ds/Wii u if it makes you feel any better, but I absolutely detest Nintendos insistent use of these 3d models for 2d games.


Then again I did end up buying federation farce when it hit £10 or so even if I never even booted the piece of crap, so I might buy it one day even if I never play it.

On tonight other hand, I can't wait to miss my 28 second window to buy those amiibo -.-

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Calling people "garbage shitposters" for being skeptical about a developer that has a bad track record is a bit extreme.

I think it's too kind.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Someone should make a new thread for those amiibo.

 

[AmyS]

Please tell me it'll use the auto stereoscopic 3D and also take advantage of New 3DS's faster CPU.

Back in 2015 (or maybe 2015) I foolishly hoped two new Metroid games would get announced, 1 for 3DS and 1 for codename NX.

Hot damn!

 

[RagnarokX]

This looks fun. Looks like a complete re-imagining than a remake--the map was completely different from Metroid II's. Nice to finally see Samus back, and hopefully they can shelve that awful Other M design for good now.

Not keen on the name, but whatever.

Wha? Of the things bad about Other M, Samus' design is not one of them. She's sleek as fuck.

 

[ScientificPizza]

gotta battle hyperbole with hyperbole it's the only way forward

 

[atbigelow]

Switch owners begging for scraps are embarrassing.

I'm an owner of both, and my hands can barely take playing my 3DS anymore. I can detach the Switch joycons and play without pain. Sorry I get hand pain.

 

[raginrapids]

does this require a "new 3ds" or can the originals run it?

 

[Cuburt]

I really liked how they made a cinematic scene like this into a counter instead of a quick time event like so many other games do. I really felt the tension as the girl on the stream was playing and the relief when she got the timing right. It will make playing the game more satisfying since the counter is almost like a finisher where you are rewarded for executing properly.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Man, amiibo and soundtrack. This is like Christmas.

I gotta admit, hearing magmoor caverns' music increased the hype a bit

That was kinda worrying to me because it sounded the exact same as Magmoor Cavern instead of being another remix of the Super Metroid original.

 

[Htown]

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

 

[RoseBell69]

Getting it day one.

 

[Dunkley]

Giving people what they want tends to generate a positive response!

Indeed it is, I am happy that they appear to be in touch with what people want, I was really worried Federation Force is gonna be the end for the Metroid franchise so I couldn't be more excited.

If someone told past year me we're getting a 2.5D Metroid in 2017 I would have not believed them.

 

[leroidys]

Am I the only person that is glad that this is on 3DS? Map screen is worth the graphics downgrade.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Switch owners begging for scraps are embarrassing.

>implying a goddamned Metroid 2 remake is "scraps"

What did he mean by this?

 

[Mama Robotnik]

I go away for a bit and BOOM second Metroid announced!?

It looks like it will be fun. I personally think AM2R looked better but hopefully Nintendo will work their magic and deliver us a great game.

 

[aBarreras]

Switch owners begging for scraps are embarrassing.

this game is "scraps" now?

 

[Jrs3000]

Oh man. Today has been great. I was like this after seeing Metroid announcements, Amiibos, and gameplay.

 

[13ruce]

Calling people "garbage shitposters" for being skeptical about a developer that has a bad track record is a bit extreme.

This does look good tho mirror of fate never looked good and lords of shadow 1 is a masterpiece.

But agreed that was too far.

It's like DMC4's Buster Arm and I'm surprised more games haven't taken notes from that game when it comes to stuff like this.

 

[RoninChaos]

When will the Amiibos go up for preorder?

 

[Harmen]

This is cool, but to be honest I am not sold on the game's looks. The graphics are a bit bland. But still, a 2D Metroid is always welcome, especially given that the series seemed dead not long ago.

 

[Jonboy]

I'll always welcome more Metroid...but I fundamentally disagree with them not putting this on the Switch in addition to 3DS.

Metroid II is a great one to remake considering how few played it. I'm a huge fan of the series and it's one that I missed.

 

[Bronetta]

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
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission


Get ready for some of the finest sidescrollers around.

 

[lucius]

That new Samus amibo is so much better than the other one they released earlier, that one looked off

 

[DeuceGamer]

Watched the trailer on 3DS and it does look much better than what I saw on my stream. Hyped even more and hope I can get that Limited Edition.
