Would you still reccomend me buying Metroid: Samus Returns even

>>389988494
they're probably going to be pretty different, so yeah

No one here has the game yet anon. Wait for the reviews if you really aren't sure.

It'll play pretty differently, almost like a sequel even.

They're going to be radically different experiences due to large innovations and changes in basic gameplay and progression.

Where AM2R keeps it close to Super Metroid and Zero Mission (maintaining the semi-linear stage by stage aspect of Fusion), Samus Returns uses a new aiming system, a super meter system, and takes advantage of the 3DS system's unique features such as the dual screens.

I played it at PAX, they feel completely different. In fact, very little is similar beyond the basic premise: encountering and killing Metroids at different stages of development to access lower tunnels.

Already played it.
People draw the comparison
Metroid nes -> zero mission
When describing the game

I would say it is more like
Metroid Nes -> super metroid

It feels like a sequel with a vague resemblance.
Not a masterpiece as super though, I'm not even trying to suggest that. Just regsrding the magnitude of the differences

>>389989494
Would you say it's a solid game though?

They look completely fucking different.

>>389990673
Absolutely. Surface to area 2 or 3 is fucking amazing.
There is a low point chasing too many gammas ( because they run from you when they turn reddish from low health, and you have to play like an ace to kill them on the first try)
But afterwards it gets better and better.

>>389990895
Does map Discovery count towards percentage completed or is it just the items,?

>>389991742
That map is not accurate. The equivalent of area 4 is SR is area 5 (4 is brand new one)
And SR's area 5 is closer to the others in the towery shape

>>389988494

Sad thing is Nintendo are holding 2D Metroid hostage with this game so I fucking feel like I have to get the game. I'm looking forward to it and all, but Nintendo are a bunch of cunts for the amiibo-locked modes bullshit.

>>389992162
Neat didn't know that, do you how many new areas there are or is that the only one?

Played Zero Mission as my first Metroid game a couple weeks ago, should I play this next, or something else?

>>389992192
i felt this way but then i realized i'd be happier with no games at all than them trotting out some propped up corpse every year for a quick cash grab and then shutting shit down when it stops banking on nostalgia and desperation from actual fans

fuck that, i have some integrity

>>389992374
Play Super Metroid

>>389992609
Okay, I'll wait to play it on the SNES Classic.

How's the ending?

>>389992272
All areas are expanded with new segments but I think 4 is the totally new one. It has some very vague resemblance to the corridors between areas 3 and 4 of the gameboy game... I reckon

>>389992908
Good. New but not really surprising...
Chozo lore on the other hand... Oh boy... Oh boy...
Just gonna say that 100% the game is worth it

>>389993096
What do the Chozo Memories show?

>>389992734
>>389992374
Samus Returns is the next chronologicaly, and Super is the next after that.

I'd stick with that order. No reason to not keep it chronological.

Can't say, won't say

When does SR come out? I'm. thinking about dusting off my 3DS for it.

>>389993389
We'll can you tell me what Samus looks like under the suit?

>>389993491
Not fast enough to strip her

>>389993491
*Well

>>389993491
No, I'm not telling you shit, COP

>>389993406
this Friday

>>389988494
No, it needs to flop so this shitty overrated series stays dead.

Hopefully it will sell less than Fire Emblem games so Nintendo will continue to neglect Metroid.

>>389993491

She looks like Samus.

>>389993726
Does Samus's Fusion Varia and Fusion Gravity Suit still look like it did in Fusion?

>>389993845
Came here to say this.

I don't think any reviewer manage to finish under whatever time is needed to unlock that. That would be the speedrunners thing

>>389994528
I guess I'll have to wait until Friday or Saturday then.

>>389993845
>>389993958
Fuck these watch the world burn shit opinions. We're killing IP's left and right in the presence of mobile gaming. Even if you don't like Metroid as a series, losing a franchise of its pedigree would be a loss for everyone in the long term.

>>389991182
How would u rank it next to zero mission?

>>389995594
This

>>389988494

Yes, the map and level design is pretty much completely different and there's a lot more new gameplay mechanics. It's also like twice the size/length of Super Metroid.

how do I dump the CIA

>>389997285
use GodMode9.

>>389997451
Do you have a link to a guide

>>389997548
Actually, it's pretty simple, you can download it from its github:

https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases

You can check this tutorial:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-dump-3ds-carts-to-cia-3ds-to-cia-dump-private-headers-ds-carts.432600/

>>389997861
Thanks

>>389997548
Shit, i've messed up, it's not godmode9, its the Decrypt9WIP that the gbatemp tutorial uses.

>>389995810
Better controls, they are fucking perfect, seriously
No substantial sequence breaking though, but a tighter and at the same time longer playthrough
Lower boss count but overall better designed.
And trailers and people focus on the melee as a counter move. But the thing is you can instead freeze enemies from afar and break them with one punch.
It's a totally different playstyle that I favored in areas with organic monsters (robots can't be frozen).

Overall SR has some missteps along the way but nothing so outlandish as a stealth late game segment.
But ZM is still my favorite Metroid so...
Zero>super> returns= fusion >metroid2> metroid nes>>>>>>>>>> other m

>>389998106
>Returns = Fusion

Say no fucking more. Fusion is my jam.

When does the review embargo lift?

>>389998106
How's the music? Would you say Returns is better or worse than Am2r?

>>389998759
10 hours

>>389998740
That's fine. While I'm one of the few people who love Samus' monologues and the story in Fusion, it's mostly the action of the game I love the most. This Metroid seems really action focused.

>>389998825
All am2r tracks sound samey to me. SR has more variation with both catchy (superb) and ambience (not a fan) themes

>>389998868
I hope Samus monologues return in Metroid 5, it's not a remake of an original game so I would love to see more of Fusion's Samus.

>>390000445
as long as they're skippable I guess it's fine, but I worry about sakamoto in control of samus monologues after other m

>>389997285
CIA when?

>>390000835
If it's text-based again, I wouldn't mind. I do agree that I hope they're skippable this time.

>>389998106
Is it harder than zero mission? One of my biggest complaints of zero mission is that its too easy and short

>>390000445

Metroid 5 is not happening. We'll have a better chance of having a remake of super metroid before any continuation of the story after Fusion.
I would love to see more Fusion suit stuff myself but they're gonna make it the last episode for samus, it seems.

>>390001154
>Metroid 5 is not happening
>people still think this
Sakamoto said already stated that he no longer doing remakes and is ready to move on passed Fusion, how many times does this need to be explained to your mentally challenged ass.

>Comparing a shitty fan made game to an official game
Gee anon idk

>>390001360
Give me a source right now.

>>390001395
it's a good fangame, though

>>390001610
If it is that would be the only one I've ever seen.

>>390001539
Yoshio Sakamoto: "We've just made a full-fledged remake so I'd rather take on something new. That's my general approach, and this was a new challenge. Not limited to the Metroid series, I'm also considering completely new avenues. I can just say I'm thinking about it - and I'll keep the rest as a surprise!"

.CIA WHEN

>>390001978
Good enough for me. Thanks anon.

>>390001610

AM2R is a good, fun game. I don't know why everyone on here feels they need to argue that it was either the best Metroid ever or just some shitty fan game. It's neither. It's a solid entry that doesn't do anything mindblowing either.

>>390001978
The absolute madman, it's both amazing and weird feeling that a game that fans have been anticipating since 2002 is finally coming to fruition. Rebooting with a remake is a great way to get new people into the series as well so they can catch up in time for Dread.

>>390002043
Welcome

>>390002082
I can't wait, myself.

>>390002184
I really hope they release it for Switch but just the fact that it's all but confirmed is good enough for me at this point.

ANON WHERE IS THE CIA U PROMISED

I was initially really skeptical about SR but my opinion has changed over time. I am cautiously optimistic.

MOTHER FUCKER WHERE IS IT

Chances are it will be. The Switch's install base should be good enough to replace the 3DS by 2019 or 2020.
