Before the Dread Trailer reveal, it was mentioned that they're still working hard on Prime 4. Edited October 8, 2021 by Volt Fuck you bee.

Volt Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 @M A R T I A Nand whoever is a Metroid fan. This game looks really good. Honestly can't wait. What do y'all expect out of it? JHDK and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I expect Metroid Fusion on steroids, with more horror RSG3, Volt, JHDK and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment
Chadouken Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm honestly more hyoe about this than if they had revealed Metroid Prime 4. I've been wanting a 2D Metroid for Switch since I got it. I was even hoping for maybe a port of Samus Returns on Switch, and would have been happy to get that. But to have a brand new game? I haven't been this excited about the Switch since Mario Maker 2 reveal. By far the best thing to come from this entire E3 event. Hawkingbird, JHDK, HD-Man and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment
DoctaMario Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 This looks pretty nice. Lot of great stuff coming to Switch! Definitely looks very informed by newer metroidvania games so far. RSG3, DarkSakul and JHDK 3 Quote Link to comment

JGreen Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 This was such a great surprise. I didn’t think we would get another 2D Metroid. Can’t wait. Quote Link to comment
Hawkingbird Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Dread is actually real! I still remember the rumors of the original Metroid Dread over 10 years ago. I was a big fan of Fusion and loved Samus Returns. Easily my most hyped game this year. RSG3, M A R T I A N, JHDK and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment
Camacho Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Might be enough for me to finally get a switch. I bought a 3ds primarily for Samus Returns, was very happy with that game. RSG3, JHDK, Volt and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Honestly, I don't regret it, it's a very nice handheld that you can plug in a TV. Library is pretty good too. It was desperately needing a Metroid game on it. Btw, there were TWO Dread sessions on the Treehouse. Turns out I missed the 2nd. Gonna link the vids in the OP too. Spoiler JHDK 1 Quote Link to comment
Wellman Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Not going to lie, don't love Fusion but expanding on that Samus Returns game play is so beautiful in HD. They got me again. Darc_Requiem, Volt, RSG3 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 2D Metroid is so surprising. Nintendo stole E3 with this game alone. M A R T I A N, JHDK, HD-Man and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment

What do y'all expect out of it? It looks like they’re bringing the stalker aspect back from Fusion with multiple types of robots that hunt you throughout the map. I’m all for that. Metroid has this great capacity to tell sci-fi Horror stories and I always felt they peaked at doing that with Fusion. I’m really curious to know what’s going on with the story and where it takes place in the timeline. Fusion pretty much sits at the end of everything so they could really do anything they want to move the story forward if it’s post Fusion. Pretty sure we see a Chozo sabotaging Samus during the trailer. Wonder what that’s about… Volt and Chadouken 2 Quote Link to comment

iStu X Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) So, on the amiibo subreddit many users are saying you can do web in store order at GameStop for both the collectors edition and amiibo 2-pack. take it with a grain of salt but it’s worth trying.

If so I want this game to make use of Samus metriod biology. I just realized. Samus drains energy from that Aurora Unit-like thing to power her cannon up. Could it be because of her DNA? As in, she grabbed that brain and could absorb energy because she's part Metroid now? 🤔 Darc_Requiem and Hawkingbird 2 Quote Link to comment
M A R T I A N Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Man Samus goes through more changes on a cellular level than even Bruce Banner. The Chozo enhanced her strength through cellular manipulation. Then she becomes corrupted with Phazon. Then she has to play host to the X Parasite which even further altered her DNA. The only reason she’s probably even still alive now is because of the way the Chozo groomed her into a super human. Much like how she could absorb bits of the parasite in Fusion, I assume she can still take advantage of it somehow with her altered DNA.

DoctaMario Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I guess I need to play Fusion and Super Metroid.

I don't understand why they'd bring returns to 3ds and not switch. Guess emulation will be the way RE Zero Mission and Fusion but I'm going to set my sights on Super since it's on SNES online. Isn't Zero or Fusion a remake of the first game? I played the hell out of that one when I was a kid. I loved how weird it was and how well they did the "solo explorer on a weird hostile lonely planet" thing. Volt 1 Quote Link to comment

I really want to play through Fusion again before Dread, and I don't have a way of doing that since I don't have the game. It was available on the Wii U shop, but I'm not sure if Nintendo is even supporting that anymore. And my Wii U is packed up in the garage anyway. Quote Link to comment
DoctaMario Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yeah Nintendo is dumb. That kind of thing would print money whether they sold them or just added them as an emulator for NIntendo online. As it is, the only other recourse is Volt, DarkSakul and Chadouken 2 1 Quote Link to comment
