Romier S Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 The first new 2D Metroid in 19 years! I'm guessing this is being developed by Mercury Steam who did the Metroid 2 remake. Angry the Clown and Starhawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Certainly not the Metroid I think anyone would have been expecting, but a pleasant surprise nevertheless. Visually I'm not sure I love it though. I'd definitely like some confirmation on the development team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a bang up job with the Metroid 2 Remake. Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yeah, that looks a lot like the MP2 remake, which isn't a bad thing. Hasn't that Metroid Dread name been floating around for years? Definitely in on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 They're going through this on the Treehouse right now and I think it looks fantastic. I love the stark/contrasty environments and I love the new suit design. Confirmed to be a sequel to Metroid Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Is fusion canonically Metroid 4? I know super metroid was 3 (from the title card), but I don't remember seeing something called "metroid 4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 In the Direct itself the trailer actually started with putting 'Metroid 5' up on screen. I'm liking what I'm seeing in the Treehouse play through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foogledricks Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 In a world where I hadn’t played 10 amazing Metroidvania games since Super Metroid, that video would have exploded my prostate. As-is though, a simple underwear change got the job done. This game looks fantastic. Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I’m very interested in this, and it looks good, but there is something about this being the same price as a game like BOTW2 or Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart that is going to turn me off buying this right away. Similar to something like the Links Awakening remake, or their rereleases, they should be releasing this at a lower price. foogledricks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played so many amazing games for free-$29. But almost every Nintendo game I've ever played was $39-$59. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFo Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 I can’t believe I haven’t commented on this yet. A brand new 2D Metroid? Hell yeah, I say. Samus Returns was a fun time. My only hope is that this feels more like a modern day version of a Metroid game rather than a throw-back retro experience. There are a lot of metroid-vanias out there, and several have really raised the bar as far as what I expect from the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But watching the videos, they clearly have evolved. But I agree, so has everyone else. The bar is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFo Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Okay, that trailer has me jazzed. I was a little lukewarm with the reveal at E3, but I think this new trailer makes the game look really fun and exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Currently £26.99 from Currys in the UK! https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gaming/console-gaming/games/nintendo-switch-metroid-dread-10230630-pdt.html I couldn't say no to that.

foogledricks Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 I am excited for this game. But I want to take this opportunity to bitch about Nintendo's pricing. I have played about handful of wonderful 2D Metroidvania games since my last Metroid game. Shadow Complex Axiom Verge Dust Ori 1 Ori 2 Hollow Knight Steamdig 2 All of them were great. They all cost between $5-$40. But I expect Metroid Dread to cost $60 for the next 3 years just because Nintendo knows I'm their bitch. It bothers me that Metroid Prime 4 will cost the same as this game. Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 I look forward to playing this in 1-4 years when it’s on sale for a price I deem reasonable. I had very similar feelings to the Links Awakening remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
