Looks like a fun one!
Official Metroid titles are awesome, but too few and far between, so anything that fills the gap between them is a good thing, especially when they're of quality like this.
The only thing I'm iffy about is the mining/crafting system, but I'm open-minded so I'll give it a try before crying foul on it.

Yeah I'm interested as well, plus the devs said they are going to try to bring it to the Vita/PS4 later one as well.

Would love for them to do that. It looks like a good game, and the more people that get to play it the better.

Edit: Damn, only 200k for them to do a PS4/Vita version. Shouldn't be a problem once the kickstarter goes live.

Retroman3735d ago (Edited 3735d ago )

buy this alone, that's not a FPS open world game something NEW and refreshing im sold.

developer of MIGHTY #9 said mighty # 9 need over 2 million to be on ps4 and ReVEN made it on ps4 with 200k??? what gives??

NINTENDO are you paying attention bring back 2D side scrolling METROID.

I really hope this is Alpha because then it can only look better. I also hope for gamepad support. Additionally, the background music is nice.

Actually all the info about this game, including it's Kickstarter and stretch goals is here.

Eh, not into the zombies in every game. Would be better to just go for unique alien types. A game like this would also be suitable for HD Sprites and smoother animation. They should be using something like Spriter to animate. I've been waiting for devs to do more Metroid type games forever though, so good to see someone atleast catching on and attempting it.

I love 2D side scrollers
Action focused or platformer style.

VARIA games?
The similarities never end.

Neither does people copying Nintendo's ideas.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Been keeping my eye on this game for a while but never took the plunge and bought it because it seems to get a lot of stick from the community that the devs are all talk and no action. They’ve been promising an awful lot but not actually releasing anything new so maybe an easy way out??
