I am a huge Metroid fan. The original for the new is my top game of all time simply because no other game impacted me the same way. And I’ve played every game including pinball. I loved playing the of Samus returns off of the eShop. But when the video of this remake debuted I felt practically nothing from it. Samus character model looks unimpressive. The counters feel forced and take away from the gameplay of a real Metroid game.
I never bought a copy of the game and have all but threw in the towel. The last Metroid game I truly loved was Echoes. I expect nothing short of a ground breaking master piece. At this point I believe, short of virtual reality or massively multiplayer online, The series is forced to retread paths already taken. Obviously that’s not to be expected in a remake. I’m just saying. Remakes should bring out the best of the original remaining true to the original concept. And new games should be totally mind blowing.
