Topic: Metroid: Samus Returns

The original Metroid (NES Version) is pure torture. Zero Mission is far superiour and worth picking up on the WiiU Virtual Console.

What's with the pseudo french accent

@Meowpheel Probably so they can sell it in Quebec

Ah! Nintendo is learning.

Exactly what I thought. I guess they were going for a futuristic female AI voice? If that was their goal, I'd rather it sound like Cortana.

I died. XD

That's genuinely very cool. I appreciate that

Ok that's awesome.

Wait so the normal side's back features no text at all?

Special edition only? Might have to upgrade my copy now.

Very cool, but not quite enough for me to dig in for a special edition.

My copy of Planet Robobot arrived, so I decided to make it official and pre-ordered Samus Returns (hope it doesn't have any issues on original 3DS, now that I think about it...).

I haven't found it confirmed but does this remake have save stations like the other Metroid games where you play as Samus or has it adopted autosave functionality that's present in most modern games nowadays?

I hope save stations are in the game. Metroid isn't really a horror game but you still feel relieved when you find a room that's not filled with menace. Every living creature on planet SR388 tries to kill Samus so I think a little break is fair.

But maybe Nintendo finally went mad with their amiibo and now you need a specific amiibo for healing and saving your game.

Great, now I need to buy a second copy to see both covers simultaneously!

@Grumblevolcano It still has save stations and your gunship, but the former doesn't restore anything since there are separate terminals for those like in Super Metroid. The animation is also super short and unimpressive (Samus just flickers briefly), but likewise saving is super fast compared to other games.

Lol
2 weeks indeed. What a great film btw. Love that one.

Two weeks from today, folks! Can't wait. ^_^

Pre-ordered the game yesterday. I'm not a big fan of the original, and I usually don't order games before reviews come out, but I'm ready for a new, modern Metroid! (Even though this is a remake irl)

I preordered the game as soon as it was announced <3

Preordered and paid mine off last week. Just gonna do the regular version.
Ive been buying too many games and still got Mario and Sonic to pay off...
