@TheJGG The trailer itself was pretty good - it was just that one line that was straight up awful. They even released a second version of that trailer really soon after with the line "Whilst thout soar? Or wilst thou suck?" Not terribly classy, I'll admit, but at least it doesn't ruin the trailer.
If you want to play a version of Metroid 2, don't listen to the people saying "Play AM2R - it's so much better than Samus Returns." I haven't played AM2R, so I can't comment super well on which is better, but that's not the point.
Samus Returns was developed by the same people who are making Metroid Dread. It has a similar visual style, and more importantly, is the core foundation on which Metroid Dread is being built. The melee counter and free aim? Those come from Samus Returns, along with a bunch of other stuff.
Sakamoto has already said you don't need to play the others to get the story, since the story so far will be explained in the intro to the game. If you want to have an idea of how to play a Metroid game, go with Samus Returns on the 3DS, as it will prepare you for playing Metroid Dread specifically. That, and it really is an awesome game.
No. You don't get to roleplay your character. It's an action adventure game. You don't get to make meaningful choices about the direction the story takes, or how your character interacts with the world, so no. Besides, there's no annoying level up stats (except for Zelda II).
