Samus Returns proves once again that Nintendo hasn't lost it's magic even though the game was developed by MercurySteam we all know how Castlevania Mirror of Shit turned out to be. So yeah with Nintendo & Sakamoto's guidance MS gave us another great 2D Metroid. Oh, and for those wondering... No, it's not AM2R..

Umm. If Nintendo didn't make the game, doesn't that mean Nintendo shouldn't be the one credited with it's success? MercurySteam should be?
Ergo, Nintendo hasn't "regained" any magic.

Nintendo's stance on AM2R was bullshit. They should have hired the developer and licensed and released the game proper.

2) I'm expecting a remake of Super Metroid, if there ever was to be a new 2D Metroid game to be honest.

Super Metroid is a perfect game.
Re-release it, possibly update the visuals... (I don't think it even needs a visual update!) But leave it the hell alone.

Make a completely new damn game instead.
