Both groups are wrong because they are missing the most crucial point: Samus Returns isn't a good Metroid game, let alone a great one.

That's your opinion anyway.

So weird because I love my 3DS, and it doesn't really feel that old to me. Or at least it most certainly didn't last March when people began telling Nintendo to move on.

I still have a few big 3DS games that I need to play through.

I just don't seem to be able to bring myself to be able to play mine, mostly because of the low resolution screens.
Mostly just got the 3DS for the Nintendo 64 ports and sold off my Nintendo 64.

I’m still awaiting the Switch port. I liked the original Metroid 2 back in the day. I’m one of the weird ones who enjoyed the first two Metroids, but not the later ones.

That said: Metroid Prime 4 - I have no plans to get that one, not unless someone like Monolithsoft does the game and transforms it into more of an RPG instead of an FPS dungeon crawler.

I enjoyed AM2R on the PC.
But Super Metroid has a soft spot for me.

I wouldn't mind both games getting an "Enhanced" port over to the Switch.

If you think Nintendo will suddenly changed their mind about fans using their IPs to release fan games like AM2R on their system, then recheck that.

In regards to getting "enhanced" ports over to Switch, who knows. Monster Hunter Ultimate Generations proved that it can work, but I don't know if Nintendo is willing to do that. Sure, Sushi Striker and Captain Toad also got Switch/3DS ports, but Captain Toad already originated as a Wii U game so porting it over to Switch couldn't have been that extensive of work even with the new Odyssey levels and Sushi Striker does not really use the usual type of gaming graphics that we usually associate games with.

It probably won't take that long to transport and create "HD" assets for Metroid Samus Returns, but will it be worth the cost of production, even if it does not cost too much? It's up to the higher ups at Nintendo, the R&D guys, and Sakamoto.
