Ths thread is a classic example of two groups talking not with each other, but next to each other - and both are right.

Group A says the Metroid fanbase should have been buying it by pointing to any individual customer. If you are a fan of Metroid and have a 3DS laying around somewhere, you have no excuse not to buy it.

Group B talks about the entire customer base as a whole, which has indeed walked away from the 3DS to some extent.

Well if you mean by "some extent" 90% of it's userbase moved on to Switch like others here are suggesting then Nintendo would've stopped supporting the system a long while ago.

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.

Sorry we are not interested in your biased reviews.

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.

So you don't like smaller 240p screens but you got the 3DS for the 240p remakes of the N64 Zeldas, Starfox and some other titles.

I mean Samus Returns actually runs at a higer resolution than it's original you know, and it's a better game at that.

This is pretty sad, I mean after all that negative backlash Nintendo received for Federation Force?? They finally give fans what they've been begging for, and they still don't buy.

And all because... "I don't use that system anymore."

 

LOL, no wonder Nintendo doesn't make a lot of Metroid games.  If you're that easily put off, maybe you're not the fan you claim to be.

my feelings exactly.

Fans weren't begging for a 3DS Metroid.

 

Perhaps you weren't begging for one but Metroid fans were begging for a 2D game Metroid YEARS before the 3DS even launched and nobody was expecting a 2D Metroid on consoles so the obvious choice would be on handheld, the 3DS.
