I still prefer amr2, but the mercurysteam version still appeals to me... a little.

Game Informer reports that MercurySteam initially pitched Nintendo on potentially remaking Metroid Fusion. Although series producer Yoshio Sakamoto was impressed with the pitch and their passion for Metroid, he said no to revisiting the Game Boy Advance game. Instead, Sakamoto wanted to remake Metroid II.

Going with Metroid II over Fusion may have been the smarter choice, because Fusion still holds up today.

Source 1 and Source 2

I feel we got the right choice in the end. Fusion is still great. Metroid II..not so much.

A very good choice, II clearly needed it more.

Hopefully if this game sells well, we can get more remakes on the Switch.

Metroid 2 needed a remake much more than Fusion. Have you played the original game? The game is fun but it feels like an antique. Fusion still plays butter smooth.

I don't think Metroid Fusion or Super Metroid need remakes.

Well, hopefully this game does well, so we'll get that too More great Metroid games is good for everyone!!

They do if Nintendo doesn't hurry up with the Virtual Console

I wouldn't mind a Metroid Fusion remake. Fusion is one of my favourite Metroid titles. A remake for the Switch would be amazing. Of course, the game would have to remain a side scroller.

That being said, Metroid 2 definitely needed the remake. They were originally going to do a Gameboy Color version, however, for whatever reason that idea was scrapped.

Fusion is still decent. II really needed a remake
