Wow ! I expected something like 85, but dang, people were really waiting for this one weren't they ? Can't wait for my special edition myself !!

Shitty image considering the last good Metroid game was released in 2010.

Damn, I forgot that this game existed. Ugh, another one to add to that never ending to-get list. T_T



Outstanding score. Delighted to see that Metroid has been handled right by MercurySteam.

87 is a satisfying score I'd say!! Unfortunately I bought a Sega Saturn RAM cart/memory card/import player yesterday, so I don't have more money to drop right now.

But that RAM cart is pretty important on the Saturn 🙂.

OT: great, I always preferred Metroid in 2D. I never got used to the controls in 3D, they felt overly cumbersome.

Haha I nailed the Metascore in the Nintendo prediction thread!



Looks like Famitsu wasn't totally crazy with their score after all. I still do not trust Sakamoto with a Metroid game so I will wait.

Anyway this could the first good Metroid game in 10 years? It really has been a long time.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

I'm wondering why I read that the game lasts between 10-15 hours. Did they add tons of content or what? First time I beat Metroid II it took me about 5 hours.



I'm surprised this scored so high. I guess the gameplay is really good because that art-style is so ugly. I wish they went with a sprite-based art-style, would have made a port to the Switch far easier as well.

AM2R came out in 2016.

Not an official game from Nintendo.
