Speed is back to Metroid, and there is freedom of movement, and it is quick, and fucking gorgeous, and with little explorational quirks (like jumping up to a ledge and grabbing it and going in and becoming the morph ball)

This, this, this!

Oh agile Samus, how I've missed you!  Retroid tank Samus can diaf!

I loved Metroid Prime (loved it. Best game ever), but i'll agree that there was a distinction in how the games played. The prime series scratched a different itch than old-school Metroid, i've found, where combat was more about agility. This seems to bridge the gap neatly, especially with Prime mode.
