About

Brave the hostile terrain of an alien planet teeming with vicious life forms as legendary bounty hunter Samus Aran. Her mission? Terminate the Metroid menace in this masterful reimagining of her 1991 Game Boy™ adventure. Samus Aran's arsenal has been enhanced with new moves and abilities that are sure to help her face the deadly surprises that await. This intense, side-scrolling action platformer is a great entry point into the Metroid franchise and perfect for returning fans as well, and it's available only on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Features: This intense, side-scrolling action platformer has been completely remade with engaging and immersive 3D visuals and a rich, atmospheric color palette. Classic Metroid II: Return of Samus gameplay is joined by a wealth of new content, including a set of brand new abilities that utilizes a mysterious energy resource called "Aeion," a powerful melee counterattack, and 360-degree Free Aim Mode. There are plenty of secrets to find—and if you uncover enough of them, you may even start to unravel the mystery of Planet SR388's past. Two new amiibo™ figures*—Samus Aran and Metroid—will be released as a set alongside the game. This game is also compatible with the Zero Suit Samus and Samus amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series. Functionality details will be revealed at a later date. While supplies last, fans will be able to purchase a special edition of the game, which includes a physical copy of the game, a sound-selection CD featuring 25 tracks from across the Metroid franchise, and a reversible title-sheet insert for the game case.

Metroid: Samus Returns reviews and comments

The game could be paced a bit better, but it's still a very worthwhile entry
A great remake but it is still Metroid 2 which is known to be the worst in the 2D series. The game introduces 360 degree aiming at last and a neat counter attack. Bosses can be annoying at times and the spider ball sucks. Otherwise its a good game though.
Fantastic. Finally another Metroid game. The melee counter makes for a nice addition to gameplay
«Sit back and relax»
7/10

+ New metroid game finally!
+ Sense of progression
+ Exciting exploration
+ Impressive visuals and performance on 3DS

- Would have preferred new story
- Melee counter overpowered
- Aeion abilities implimentation
- Controls (floaty jump)
