[immortald3ath]

Keep it coming Nintendo!!!

 

[Mortemis]

So that dude in the Easy Allies thread wasn't playing

double Metroid

 

[applesaucejaxon]

Well... looks like my 3DS is going to be un-retired for this

 

[VeryGooster]

Mercury Steam...

...hmm...

 

[Gartooth]

Why was this not in the spotlight!?

TWO FUCKING METROIDS THIS E3!!! Oh you all of little faith, Samus has returned to usssssss! ;_;

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

I've been saying for so goddamned long that it was inexcusable for Metroid to skip all of the dual-screen systems (DS, 3DS, Wii U) where a second-screen map added so much.

I can't believe the announcement I'm happiest about from the Switch's first E3 is a 3DS game. Perfect swan song for the system.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Same dudes that made that terrible 3ds Castlevania, yeah?

That wasn't terrible, just not the Castlevania we wanted.

 

[jbueno]

THE YEAR OF METROID IS UPON US

Oh, Mercury Steam. Hype down a bit

 

[AdropOFvenom]

Nintendo, gimme a moment to breathe here, wow.

 

[almostjuliuscaesar]

Whew boy. NintenDOES.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Why no Switch? Please don't do this Nintendo..

Awesome it's getting remade but come on..

Yep. Lame. I'll pass unless it gets ported. Sold a 3DS off twice already as I just don't like the hardware are all. Not a big Metroid 2 fan anyway.

 

[Instro]

Well this explains why they announced MP4 lol, people would be pretty pissed otherwise. I can't believe this isn't coming to Switch as well, but at least it's just a remake.

I guess this also explains why they went after the fan remake as well.

 

[Oersted]

Metroid 2 remake? ...Why? I mean, I'll take it. Anything better than nothing at all for 13 years, but why not something new?

The new game is on Switch

Spoiler

Yes, the is a bit of trolling

 

[Nocturnowl]

...I actually thought Mirror of Fate was okay.

 

[boiled goose]

I love am2r so I'm glad this looks somewhat different

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

HOLY GODDAMN FUCK.
Doubt it'll top AM2R but I'm excited nonetheless.
And I'm one of the few people who actually enjoyed Mirror of Fate.

 

[Luigi87]

"Why was this not at the spotlight"

Nintendo specified that Spotlight was to focus on Nintendo Switch titles, primarily releasing in 2017.

Revealing new announcements during Treehouse is not new to them.

 

[hank_tree]

That wasn't terrible, just not the Castlevania we wanted.

No it was terrible.

 

[Pinky]

2 Metroids announced. The naysayers that said no Metroid announcements would happen better have empty stomachs for all that crow!

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Mercury System

Hype tempered

 

[Sadist]

Nintendo wins E3

 

[Chairhome]

My train of thought:
New 2d Metroid! On 3ds!remake of Metroid II!... By MercurySteam... 😑

 

[evilromero]

Goddamb the bombs don't stop. Nintendo destroying nations with these announcements.

Well, I gotta get a New 3DS just for this. METROID is my religion.

 

[Creamium]

High difficulty and melee!

 

[OricWindstar]

Nintendo has basically confirmed that everyone on GAF will be sticking around for the Treehouse from here on out.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

The game I am looking most forward to announced in a treehouse stream after all the conferences are over

what a strange e3

 

[xmajinjoshx]

Hold me you guys. I'm freaking out here. Two Metroid announcements at one e3 has my hype levels at an all time high.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Should be called Another Another Metroid II Remake.


Nintendo wins E3 for me. I've never said that before.

 

[Kayhan]

Nintendo is the Metroid company now.

"We are in the nicotine Metroid delivery business"

 

[Kyuur]

I already played AM2R but this will probably be another experience altogether (they mentioned it was a re imagining, not just a straight remake) so I'm down.

 

[Marcel]

Mercury Steam?

I'm not rewarding you for killing Castlevania. Blow me.

 

[alr1ght]

Same dudes that made that terrible 3ds Castlevania, yeah?

yep

[Valero]

More Metroid is never a bad thing. Im hyped

 

[SunBroDave]

Wonder if this got started before or after Nintendo C&D's AM2R.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Why would they do it this way... ugly

 

[Z..]

Mercury Steam? This could go both ways, but yay.

 

[MrBadger]

I'd rather it was 2D and sprite-based because I don't really like that 2D 3DS platformer look. Still happy that this exists. It'll tide us over before Metroid Prime 4 blows everyone away

 

[SuomiDude]

The game looked bad on big screen, but now that I have it on small window, it actually looks really good. Too bad, Metroid II is the worst Metroid there is, though this might be a huge improvement to it, it at least has new moves and stuff.

 

[I-hate-u]

Great, now Metroid fans can shut up about no new games.

Yup, now it's F-Zero's turn.

 

[wild wild rice]

This looks really good. Music sounds dank.

 

[Aostia]

I wouldn't mind a Switch port but with prime 4 confirmed I can only be super happy about this too!!!

 

[Litri]

About time! Spanish dev behind, looks like retains core Metroid elements.

 

[Big One]

THE YEAR OF METROID IS UPON US

Oh, Mercury Steam. Hype down a bit

Nintendo does a lot of checks and balances for these developers. Have a bit more faith in them!

 

[TunaLover]

But Switch :c

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Nintendo took the year of dreams away from Sony.

 

[KLoWn]

Mercury Steam?

 

[Foffy]

To go from hype to the purest apathy when they announced the developer....

 

[Neff]

neat

 

[Grakl]

Looks awful

 

[mysteriousmage09]

3DS......
