I feel as though for a lot of players, including myself, this may as well not be a remake as a lot of people never played the original. Pretty sure this will be a day one download for me.
Ya this feels like a brand new game to me. Might as well be.

@Ralizah The thing is, they seem to be completely passive bonuses. You'll probably be able to skip them, even. The aeion meter limits how many times you can use them too, so they're not a win button.
@Meowpheel That's why I'm expecting a major overhaul in that regard. Same reason why they have described it as a 'reimagining' of Metroid II.
Samus Returns is currently sitting at #7 on the Amazon Video Game sales charts, in the US, at least. It's sitting above Mario + Rabbids, which made it to #3 Monday, Splatoon 2 and Breath of the Wild Switch, along with PS Store cash cards and other controllers and stuff. Metroid Prime 4 is at #10, believe it or not.
I managed to pre-order the limited edition with the soundtrack yesterday. Didn't wanna wait and miss my chance. But yeah, Nintendo's been killing the charts all year now. Odyssey moved into the #2 spot for a it yesterday, knocking one of the PS cash cards off, which is huge, cause those NEVER move.
So has anybody managed to pre-order the SE yet? The only place I'm finding with it listed is GS, and it kicks it out of the cart as no longer available any time I try to check out
@Meowpheel My strategy every time I play return of Samus:
Not do the logic and practical thing (do a map or google one) and run like crazy for the next hours with a permanent sense of deja vu. Works every time!
@NEStalgia I was able to order it from GS yesterday, and it says it's still available. The amiibo dual-pack is also up now. I hope both do well, sales-wise. If they do, we might get more Metroid games.
I figured this game wasn't PC enough these days to be remade. Our hero is a Genocidal Mecenary on a mission to eradicate an entire species....GO SAMUS!
To be fair, remaking Metroid 2 as it is without going off the lines to make it more interesting would result in a very boring game.
The original game isn't very long or hard, if you just add a map and make things easier to distinguish then you'll make it even easier and shorter.
This. The original was fairly linear, dull, and empty so it wouldn't stand out much nowadays. That's why Doc changed up the design in AM2R and that's why this game will probably do the same. I'm also hoping that like AM2R, this game will add more character to the areas instead of just being generic caves and ruins. Making the main area a regular cave is fine but the other areas should have more variety and better theming to really make them interesting to visit.
@Monado_X Hmm, it shows as available, but I tried to order it a few times yesterday and today, and no matter if I pick checkout for online, or pick up in store, once I get to the checkout part it ejects it from the cart and shows an error saying no longer available (even though it's still listed as available.) Maybe you got in just at the right moment.
