Metroid's story is so under-rated.

Gr815428d ago

But mostly because the gameplay is so strong.

I also think that people do not like reading walls of text so they dont scan everything and end up missing out... But the story is good enough without the need for scanning but inspecting the environments adds a lot to the game for me

I didn't really play games all that much last gen so I missed out on most of Metroid. Looking forward to getting the Prime trilogy when that comes out though. This looks like a winner as well.

I remember having the original Metroid and being a young kid getting chills when the title screen music started.

Metroid was inspired by the movie Alien but you wouldn't know from todays Metroids, hopefully this game get sback to more of Metroid's original roots.

It's going to be sick! I never liked the Metroid Prime games, but I LOOOOOVED all of the 2D Metroids.

I have high hopes for this one.

mirroredderorrim5428d ago

I agree, Product.

This game has nostalgia written allover it, with some flair!
This is a first day buy for me. Nintendo does right with this title.

Other M = Other MotherBrain Thats what I think anyways... plus mother brains in the trailer..

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds460d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69460d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3460d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese460d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits459d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee705d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

Terry_B705d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM924d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
