http://kotaku.com/metroid-samus-returns-announced-for-3ds-1796061273

Some more specific details announced on stream:

Samus now has free-aiming; you can point her arm cannon with a full 360-degree range of motion.
Samus has a Melee Counter: Right before an enemy charging at you hits your body, you can press X to knock them away and score a counter hit.
“Aeion abilities” are a new feature not in the original, giving Samus different abilities that are not suit upgrades. They’re limited abilities that rely on an energy gauge. One, called “Scan Pulse,” lets you display more of the game’s mini-map in a small area around you, showing you where hidden pathways and items are.
Like the original Game Boy game, you’re hunting down Metroids right from the get-go, and you have a Metroid detector to let you know they’re nearby.
You can use “map pins” to remind yourself to visit a location later once you have a new ability.
Metroid fights use the Melee Counter, too; the Alpha Metroid Samus goes up against has a highly-telegraphed charge slam that you can counter, to open him up for a damage opportunity.
The game’s soundtrack is being composed by two of the composers from the SNES game Super Metroid.
>>
>>380342662

You can load up a menu seemingly at any time and return yourself to the “Last Checkpoint” or the “Last Save.”
The game does have 3D effects. (Hey, these days with 3DS games that’s not exactly a given...)
Going by the menu screen, it would seem as if there are 40 total Metroids (of different evolutions) scattered about the game for you to take down.
Samus acquires the Spring Ball not by finding a statue, but by defeating an evolved Metroid.
You can bomb-jump. (Respect to the Treehouse lady who did a bomb jump live on stream.)
Samus Returns has “Teleport Stations” that let you fast travel between areas. Convenient!
The Varia Suit is in the game, which helps you survive in “extreme heat.” You don’t even need authorization to put it on!
You lose your Aeion Gauge when you get hit by enemies, too, so you have an extra incentive to fight enemies rather than just run through them taking damage.
There are “audio cues” that let you know when to melee the Metroids, one of the Treehouse streamers says.
You can use the grapple beam to rip enemies off the wall.

Don't forget most important part

30 FPS, all previous Metroid games were 60 FPS.

The 3D effect is absolutely magnificent guys. There's so much depth to the game it's unreal.
>>
>>380343515
Maybe it'll be optimized. Most other games like this for 3DS are 60fps.
>>
>>380343695
Mirror of Fate had pretty good 3D too, it still played like utter shit and forever killed 2D Castlevania and Lords of Shadow killed 3D Castlevania.
>>
>>380343980
Not with MercurySteam's programmers. It uses same engine as Castlevania Mirror of Fate (it even had the same block-counter-massivedamage gimmick) and that game ran at basically 15-20 FPS at any given time.
>>
>>380343532
y?
>>380343980

they were saying 30 solid, no drops.

60 is a pipedream in 3DS
>>
>>380343376
Because I already fucking played/own Return of samus. I'm not gonna give Kiketendo money for a prettied-up version of games I own, I'm not a consumerist normie retard.

At least we're getting Prime 4.
Now I have a reason to buy a Switch.
>>
>>380344232
>they were saying 30 solid, no drops.
The trailer and stream gameplay was anything but solid 30. And even solid 30 is unacceptable in a game like Metroid.
>>
the fps metroid games have always been gay shit.
>>
>>380342662
It feel like this was rushed after AM2R
>>
>>380342662
>Going by the menu screen, it would seem as if there are 40 total Metroids (of different evolutions) scattered about the game for you to take down.
Oh no please be longer than 2 hours.

>Samus has a Melee Counter: Right before an enemy charging at you hits your body, you can press X to knock them away and score a counter hit.
I hope it's well made and it has some sort of a cooldown. Else every important fight you will just block to win.

>The game’s soundtrack is being composed by two of the composers from the SNES game Super Metroid.
Ost is going to be 10/10.

Nope Nope
Nope Nope

Did you not watch the treehouse

>>380344374
No, you're just a retard. Keep missing out on fun, it makes me happy.
>>
>>380344819
MercurySteam are Spanish, not Italian you dumb burger.
>>
>>380344746
>Oh no please be longer than 2 hours.
Remember that it was the original count. Metroids are pretty spaced out and that they could actually have more suddenly appear later. Just because initial scans say 40, doesn't mean shit.
>>
>>380344886
>$0.25 have been deposited into your account, thanks for defending a rehash of a 25 year old Game Boy game on the internet!
>>
>>380344232
Smash Bros was 60 fps, and that game is almost 3 years old. How are they getting LESS optimized?
>>
>>380344232
You are asking me why? Look at the link you've just posted.I think there is even a high posibilty that you are from reddit and most definitely underage.
>>
>>380343182
>>30 FPS
Source?
>>
>>380343515
source on the 30fps?
>>
>>380345346
Made by MercurySteam, the people behind the abomination that is Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate that killed Castlevania entirely. Mirror of Fate ran at 15-20 FPS most of the time on 3DS and this uses the same engine.

>>380345445
Trailer, Stream.
>>
>>380342662
Why didn't they just develop it for the Switch as launch title while waiting for Prime 4? What the fuck.
>>
>>380345346
single screen maps.
way less polygon density

this is going to perform like federation force
>>
>>380342813

>Samus acquires the Spring Ball not by finding a statue, but by defeating an evolved Metroid

You get the Spring Ball by beating Arachnus
>>
>>380345445
>>380345626
Did you retards not watch the fucking trailer AND stream? They even explicitly said in the stream they're targetting solid 30 FPS (but so far they're failing at the "solid" part it seems).
>>
>>380342662
We could have had a metroid on the switch
>>
>>380345148
>They are Spanish not Italian!
Lmao still the same folk.
>>
>>380345642
Trailer and stream doesn't mean anything.
>>
>>380345769
eyah, some info seems a bit off, mostly Kotaku not paying attention..


isn't anybody here GREATLY bothered by the checkpoint thing?
>>
>>380345898
>Trailer shows footage with blatant 30 FPS lock and sub 30 FPS drops

>Did you retards not watch the fucking trailer AND stream?
Trailer and steam of a game still in development aren't indicative of anything.

3D effect work better at 60fps, anyway.
>>
>>380346078
Post above yours, shill.

Another 0.05$ has been deposited into your account. Only 998 posts more to go and you will get a raise 0.01$ per post! Keep up the good work!

Shoulda bought that New 3DS dumb goyim. :^)
Luckly, we take pity on you dumb goyim, and theres a nifty New 2DS XL coming out soon for only $149.99 that will run Metroid at a constant 30FPS with no slowdown
>>
>>380346061
First trailer of Majora 3D was at 60fps, the game still ended up 30fps. those kind of info are meaningless.

>0.05$ was deposited into your account
>people disagreeing with me must be chill.
Stop pulling fact out of your ass to start with.
>>
they said 30 FPS locked

the "drops" that guy is "seeing" is just slowmo after melee and hitstuns

but 60 fps was neves at the table

Just admit that you don't know the final spec of the game.

Why not just hire the guy who made AM2R? Give him the keys to the kingdom let him play around with the property legit. Nintendo gets a Metroid guaranteed to please fans and make money, and fans get a Metroid that's actually good. Literally everyone wins.

How does the 360 degree fire range work? Can you move while shooting freely? Do you control the arm canon with the analog and move with abxy?

And again, Source? and by that, the actual time in the video they actually say this. How fucking hard is that to understand?
>>
>>380346952
Timestamp. There's no fucking way the weakass 3ds can run that at 30FPS constantly.
>>
>>380347371
How about you fucking scroll yourself? It's not hard. Get cancer and die cause I sure as hell ain't spoonfeeding Nitentoddler shills.

not here to fucking spoonfeed you. Christ I know it's summer but shouldn't you be mowing lawns since school let you out instead of shitposting

How about you actually back your own statements, which is what I sipmly asked in the first place.

I hate Nintenbros even more than the next guy but calm down with the reddit spacing dude

Welp, it looks like I still have many hours of 3DS use with this, US/UM, FE: SoV, and M&L: Superstar Saga.
>>
>>380342662
>>380342813

I love me some Metroid 2, but I must admit many of the things listed as upgrades seem to be things AM2R implemented that I never expected Nintendo to do, like the warp points and checkpoints.

I now have three versions of my favorite guilty pleasure Metroid game to play, so I'm quite happy by this news.
>>
>>380347029
Link Between Worlds was 60fps
>>
>>380346952
So you don't have a source besides out of your ass? Got it.
>>
>>380347527
Do you understand fps is determined by the strength of the console but also how labor intensive the game is? Are you brain dead?
>>
>>380351890
We all understand that, we simply ask the point in the interview they actually say it's 30fps locked.
