"Following the remakes of the first two Metroid titles, 2004’s Zero Mission and 2017’s Samus Returns, Super Metroid seems like it would be a perfect choice for the third remake, should Nintendo have an interest in pursuing another one after Metroid Dread. After all, it’s the next 2D entry in line for a makeover, and it’s arguably the most iconic and beloved installment in the entire franchise. However, 2002’s Metroid Fusion has some strikingly unusual structure and ideas that Dread subsequently altered and expanded upon, and applying that evolution of design back to Fusion could make for a perfect remake opportunity." - Nintendo Enthusiast
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Last week Nintendo held this year's surprisingly packed not-E3 Direct; with a full schedule for this year and a vague promise of a console successor next year, it's very possible that we've now seen our final Nintendo Switch Direct, or at least one with major first party reveals. That makes this a good time to sit back and reflect on a generation of Direct moments, from the shocking and surprising, to the joyous and exhilarating - and, quite often, all at once."
Big Switch hits holiday sale now live for the end of 2023 including lowest price ever for Nintendo Switch Sports, Metroid Dread, and more.
Enric Álvarez, the CEO of Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam, has revealed that the title has now sold over three million copies worldwide.
It’s good to see Metroid do well. Hopefully we hear something soon about Metroid Prime 4
Wait up, 3 million worldwide out of a possible 120 million is considered good for a legendary franchise like metroid?
Metroid has never sold super well. Lots of people under under the mistaken impression that, because franchises like Mario Kart, Smash Bros., 3D Mario games, more recent Zelda games, and Animal Crossing sell huge numbers, that all Nintendo franchises sell at that level, and that they always have.
This is pretty good for a Metroid. Dread will probably end up being the best-selling game in the franchise, if it isn't already.
Metroid Prime was said to have sold 2.8 million copies, so Dread is likely the best selling game in the series.
Love Dread and Fusion:)
Would be cool. I'm about to emulate that, zero mission, and super.
I would settle for just having access to fusion on the switch but…
Why a remake? It laid out the foundation for a sequel! Come on you Metroid fans have been getting nothing until now and you rather a remake instead of continuing with an improved sequel? Smh
I'd buy it
