Support NeoGAF

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

Yeah, I had a similar reaction back when the original Metroid Prime was revealed to be developed by Retro, they proved themselves more than capable, hopefully the same happens here.

 

[Foxy the Fox]

I am on my roof

My body can't take it.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

I sold my launch 3DS a few weeks ago

May I tell you about our lord and savior 2DChrist?

Man, this looks good. Really good. Reggie with the 'before you go...'

 

[Eila]

Will approach with an open mind. Already got to play am2r anyway.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

WHY WAS THIS NOT IN THE SPOTLIGHT?

Fucking this! They're still announcing shit on Treehouse? And by the Lords of Shadows guys? Amazing.

So, can we say Nintendo won E3 already?

 

[davidwhangchoi]

This is SR388, not Zebes.

what's funny was as a kid reading nintendo fun club, always thought those were the names of the mini boss.

 

[Vire]

New Metroid! Yay!!

Mecury steam... fuck

 

[DeuceGamer]

I'd love for them to prove me wrong but Mercury Steam?

Gameplay looks like Metroid to me. Nintendo usually get the most out of their partners and help them raise the level of their output.

Like you guys are still watching this right? Mercury Steam or not this still looks like it plays really well

Yea, looks pretty good to me.

Because it looks bad. Why not go with sprites?

Yea, I would prefer Sprites but I'm just happy to have a new 2D Metroid (and 3D Metroid).

 

[Toxi]

This is looking good. WTF are people complaining about?

I just watched the trailer, but it looks awesome. I'm glad they're going for a reimagining instead of a straight remake.

The melee uppercut looks like it will make the evolved Metroid fights less obnoxious. And INFINITE BOMB JUMPING

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Because its cheaper to make it using 3D models.

Well, that shows.

 

[R0ckman]

I'm fine with this. Can't wait. The fan game had a slight mosaic element to the visuals that bothered me, since there was a mix of sprite work and additional original assets.

 

[Jaymageck]

Even if this is a 6/10 I'm buying it because I want to express support for THIS TYPE of Metroid Game and that we want more of them. It's really important this sells better than Federation Force.

 

[Mirk]

So not only am I getting Prime 4. I am also getting a metroid 2 remake! wtf wtf

 

[mazillion]

Looks amazing aestheticly, obviously not technically though.

 

[muteki]

Probably waiting on a port.

 

[Salmon]

What's up with the art style? It looks way too bright, the animation is off, and there is NO atmosphere to be found. It looks so extremely bad! Compare this to Zero Missiok and Fusion.

 

[jrcbandit]

I don't understand all the complaints. Just because the company put out a bad Castlevania game many years ago doesn't mean automatically this will be horrible. And looking it at the treehouse stream it could potentially be a very good game, at the very least competent.

 

[oatmeal]

lol yes. Prove to Nintendo that they are wasting their time on this low selling franchise.

Dislike playing on the 3DS. Wildly uncomfortable compared to Switch.

I've retired that system and moved on.

 

[Bronetta]

OMG WHAT! It looks pretty good too (for a 3DS game)


OK Nintendo just won this E3. I'll dust my 3DS off for this

 

[boiled goose]

Launch?

 

[CronoShot]

Can you not move and shoot at the same time? Every time they shoot they're standing still.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I feel like I'm the only one who played AM2R and thought "this is an okay fan game that they put effort into," and then stopped halfway through because it was still clearly a rough fan game and didn't see why everyone was freaking out about it.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Will this be in 3D?

Yes

 

[Green Yoshi]

what the actual fuck?

It's ugly as hell and it's only for 3DS, man. This could have been so exciting.

Don't judge the graphics of a 3DS game before you have played it yourself.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

And here I thought I was fine not listening to the second stream in the car

 

[Magicpaint]

Looks pretty ugly and Mercury Steam is a red flag but OMG Metroid. Partying like it's 2002 again.

 

[kunonabi]

Looks heavily leveraged on Other M's gameplay, as long as there are no pixel hunts it could be good.

Other M didn't have pixel hunts either just players who refused to follow visual clues.

 

[Yukinari]

Mercury Steam pitched metroid to nintendo before right?

I guess Nintendo realized they need the help.

 

[Macka]

Weird move from Nintendo to have Federation Force be met with such a negative reception, and think giving a Metroid II remake to MercurySteam would end well. I mean if the game doesn't end up great there's going to be an outcry again.

Lets hope Nintendo are keeping a close eye.

 

[shmoglish]

I just bought a 3ds and I am still new to the Franchise (only played the GBA exclusive and the first prime) and I can proudly say that I will be there day one.

 

[BorkBork]

Holy shit. I don't even care it's on the 3DS. I'm just glad Metroid is back.

The new mechanics look fun. Good trailer.

 

[SaiyanRaoh]

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....

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Graphics are meh. Should've gone with 2D.

 

[prateeko]

Yo what the actual fuck

Seriously.



Could it be that Nintendo is actually listening to us????

 

[Majine]

I'm just happy that this Nintendo E3 shows that they still care about Metroid.

 

[Neoleo2143]

This looks damn solid if they keep this up the quality.

 

[Bakkus]

No sprites instead the outdated 3DS graphics. Booo

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Will this be in 3D?

I doubt it, looks to be pushing the 3DS to the max. Would be OUTSTANDING in 3D with no frames drop.


EDIT: 3D CONFIRMED!

 

[davidwhangchoi]

I sold my launch 3DS a few weeks ago

lol that stinks... i saw a lot of 3ds on GAF sales recently

 

[Creamium]

I love the look of the melee attack

 

[jacob armitage]

I thought the trailer looked quite good to be honest.

 

[boiled goose]

I feel like I'm the only one who played AM2R and thought "this is an okay fan game that they put effort into," and then stopped halfway through because it was still clearly a rough fan game and didn't see why everyone was freaking out about it.

To me it was a solid metroid game so I enjoyed it. I love metroidvanias

 

[Immaculate]

Switch owners get a whole direct dedicated to them and the 3DS gets one new game and everyone gets mad

 

[lucius]

watching the gameplay on Treehouse this looks great for a 3DS game you know compared to other 3DS games

 

[Regio_sk8]

Not feeling the 3D here, why not 2D sprites? Is the 3D cheaper or something?

Yes, is cheaper,

I'm Glad Nintendo is going to Realease a New Metroid in this perspective, i'm going to buy it,

But there is no way this is going to surpass AM2R, and the comparisons are Inevitable.

 

[Realeza]

I feel like I'm the only one who played AM2R and thought "this is an okay fan game that they put effort into," and then stopped halfway through because it was still clearly a rough fan game and didn't see why everyone was freaking out about it.

Apparently some goofballs think that can compete with an actual official product.

 

[devonodev]

This is looking better the more I see, I've been waiting so long for a new 2D Metroid. This doesn't look bad.

 

[AnkhWeasel]

I am legit shook right now.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Dislike playing on the 3DS. Wildly uncomfortable compared to Switch.

I've retired that system and moved on.

Yep. I hate not being able to support it, but I strongly disliked the 3DS hardware and there's no way I'll buy a 3DS or 2DS just for this. If they port it to Switch I'll buy day one, otherwise I'll just have to pass. C'est le vie.

 

[Oberon]

Mostly on account of how ugly it looks, probably.

It's a low quality looking polygonal game for an old handheld. It does look ugly, especially if you're not used to playing even uglier 3ds games. It looks demonstrably worse than the fan remake.

Didnt' that fan remake reuse sprites from other actual games?
