is it September yet

>>387027669
What are you gonna do on September 1st, OP? If you ask 'Is it September yet', everyone's gonna answer 'Yes, yes it is!', but Samus Returns will still not be with us for another two weeks!

>>387027669
It's September in Australia already.

AM2R > this shit

Would you prefer it to be like Super Metroid, non-linear or Zero Mission/Fusion, linear?

>>387028752
It's remaking Metroid II so we know it's going to be linear, somewhere between Fusion and ZM.
Also ZM is fairly nonlinear

>>387027669
>Would you prefer it to be like Super Metroid, non-linear or Zero Mission/Fusion, linear?
>Zero Mission
>linear
Regarding its linearity (or non-linearity), Zero Mission is much closer in design to Super than it is to Fusion.

>>387028905
>>387029103
Well yes, you guys are correct, I just meant the way Zero Mission tells you where to go. Would you rather have that or would you rather find your own way?

>>387030031
Metroid II level design makes that kind of handholding unnecessary. I don't think you'll ever get lost when each zone comes sequentially.

>>387030091
Hopefully that will be so. I really enjoyed zm and fusion but didn't like super and am2r for that reason, constantly getting lost and staring at the same things just wasn't fun to me.

>>387027669
Next month baby, next month

I'm sorry but you're retarded.

I'm still buying it and there's nothing (you) can do about it

this pasta is stale

>>387030031
>Zero Mission tells you where to go.
Only one Chozo statue is mandatory and if you really want to you can do Ridley before Kraid getting very few of the items.
Weak bait.

>>387031096
You're probably right, I didn't play it after not knowing where to go the first time, gave up really easy on it after thinking it's the same as super metroid.

>>387030091
>Metroid II level design
With any luck most of the map will be redesigned to be more expansive and varied. Metroid II is great and all but they could do so much more with the 3DS. I'm hoping to see new powerups alongside the classics and something fresh added to the level design, even if its something simple.

>>387031178
Well they pretty much told us this back when they said there were plans for both 2D and 3D Metroid. Too many Metroid fans here like to ride the despair train

>>387031178
Well, Prime 4 is a long, long way off, anon. I don't know if I'd say it's 'coming' yet.

>>387031405
Telling you where you should be going doesn't mean telling you where you must go. You can get guidance if you want to, but you don't have to follow it, you can do things in different ways. That's the perfect way to design a game.

>>387031541
>the only one that's been made bigger is the surface area
fuck. please let this game be longer than 4 hours

My point was that in ZM you can avoid every single Chozo statue minus the very first one if you know what you're doing. It accommodates for new players and veterans, that's the best way to design a game: easy to pick up but hard to master.

>>387031785
To be fair, Metroid games were never really long. Almost all of them are on the shorter. side, especially the 2D ones.

>how to spot a surface Metroid fan
>they think it's not possible to enjoy more than 1 take on any 2D entry in the series

>>387031948
Exactly, perfectly described.

>>387032204
actually, that was not my point at all. my point was> >there's a new a new take on a beloved 2D entry in the series (which could be good or bad, but most likely good given what we currently know)
>be not even the slightest bit excited to experience that, or have any hope at all in it being good, thinking that because there's already a good version of it made by someone else, there's no need to even give it a chance

You're not a Metroid fan if you think this

>>387027669
Anon.. how could you forget? Don't you remember? The 21st night of September?

>>387031345
You have to admit the galleries and Fusion Mode being amiibo-only when they could EASILY just put them in the eShop is some fucking bullshit

>>387027669
One thing I noticed is the camera. There's something funny about it. When Samus changes altitude or moves left and right, the perspective angles almost do not change at all.. Have you noticed this? Is the camera rotating while following the player or is it some weird fob setting or orthographic hybrid mode?

>>387034872
*fov not fob

>>387034496
Yeah I agree on that, the way they're using amiibo here is really jew-y.

Know what you can get in Zero Mission for free if you get gud?

>Art gallery

>Sound test

>NES Metroid

Where are the Metroid 2 remake's bonus features? Oh right, they're all locked behind amiibos!

>Sonic Mania out in two days
>you're wrapped up waiting for this

Truly sad.

>>387027669
I love Super Metroid.
Enjoyed the first Prime (mostly for the novelty of playing a first person Metroid on release. I remember back in the day everyone was hyped).
Tolerated Prime 2.

Never want to play another Metroid again. I think I'm just done with Nintendo milking it's franchises.
I really enjoy the direction they're taking with Splatoon and Arms. Sort of a cartoony, retro feel to them like the Pilotwings 64 characters and Super Punchout.

This isn't Japanese developed either is it?
Retro studios trying something different is cool, but meh, I have enough Metroidvania's to keep me going at a fraction of the 3ds game prices.

One thing I'm wondering, are these amiibos pre-order able? I want to know if I'll have a chance to get them if I get to the store ASAP on release day, or if I should instead just give up

>>387035027
now you git gud at hacking the console instead

>>387035160
Why hack the console when you can just use one of those rewritable cards?

>>387034872
pls answer. The camera is super fucking important in Metroid games, if they shit this up the game will be unplayable garbage.

>>387035027
>he doesn't hack his phone so it could be used as any and every amiibo making amiibo unlocks irrelevant

fuck off kid
