From a conceptual perspective, the SA-X, the Space Pirates in the Zero Mission epilogue, and the EMMI all kind of fill the same space. They aren't an entirely new concept in that sense, more of an expansion of what was already introduced in a few of the previous entries. Maybe even that crazy mining robot (Diggernaut) in Samus Returns could fall in that category to a lesser extent, although I think it filled the space in a more linear fashion.

I also get a sense that they really tried to create a game that would excite the speed run crowd, and I think the recently released 1 hit mode furthers that.

This dude spent years refining the Metroid formula based on what was already released up until that point though, so I think his opinion is really worth considering. I would consider him an authority on classic Metroid gameplay. I haven't finished AM2R although I big time appreciate the project and how long he worked on it. Definitely not knocking on him or anyone, just throwing some thoughts out there.

Sakurai sounds tired just thinking about it!

@PhhhCough kind of reminds me of a weirder version of the original sonic movie renders

Well... I gotta say, I got pretty good at beating the final boss before finding the hot fix for this glitch online 😬

@KimBread haha I covered my ears and had my wife tell me when it was over!

@Tarolusa I haven't watched any metroid dread content since e3! I'm glad someone else out there is holding out!

just call them all nintendo like our parents did. problem solved.

@ImagineerNik lol sometimes those guys are right... sometimes

I still see my kids playing this game a couple times a week

Two things -

1. It took nintendo just about a week to replace 4 of my joy cons.
2. could you do this fix with a rubberband..?

@nessisonett the legend of groose

@NTDO89 you're right! https://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/games/detail/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight-princess-hd-wii-u/

I mainly got wolf link for breath of the wild compatibility. I love bringing wolf link in.

I'm pretty sure only wolf link worked for twilight princess, maybe I'm wrong though

@screechums ? That's really presumptuous and also not very kind, I'm not really sure why you wrote that about me.

All the hate in the comments section of this and other sites won't stop this Amiibo from selling out.

I personally think that the wii u is perfect for families. the gamepad is a fun way to switch things up although it wasn't utilized quite as much as it could have been. we were just playing mario party 10 last night in 5 player mode... it was a blast. there's really nothing quite like it out there. nintendo land is so much fun, I don't know how they would pull off bringing that to the switch.

Mega Pegasus or Reindeer?? (Who remembers?)

Super Mario Odyssey is essentially a Super Mario Brother's Super Show episode anyways

It's time for a proper revival of 4 swords

"If you're lucky." what a boss.

I knew it. Big press conferences are literally information overload. Nintendo crushed it.

@paleozoic hey keep it up - I feel like this genre hasn't done so well on nintendolife lately in general. looking forward to purchasing this stateside.

@paleozoic awesome - I haven't looked in to impact much to be honest. How did you land on that over, say, Construct 2 for nintendo web framework support? Also did you find it difficult to port over to the wii u?

@VanillaLake see that's a fair spin, I can see how almost every presentation at e3 or conferences like e3 could potentially spoil a game... I guess it's up to you (or me) to decide if it's worth it. so far they've really just shown little bits and pieces of the new zelda, and gamexplain might have a lot of things here and there to pick apart but really nothing major has been revealed at all.

@paleozoic did you use unity to develop this? or html5?

@liljmoore agreed. I remember just a few years ago, Miyamoto commenting on how gamers are very hard to satisfy these days. As an indie dev, that kind of potential fan base is pretty scary.

don't forget guys... last e3 all we wanted was Zelda...

@paleozoic how bout that US release?

seems like a lot of the qualms against this game are just normal metroidvania features, plus glitches? I bought this on steam a while back and I'm really enjoying it. kind of surprised by this review, to be honest.

this seems like a really sweet memory.

man, just looking at these screen shots takes me back to an old nintendo power magazine.

show me your moves, UK.

Has anyone 100%'d this?

mostly subtitles though? I know, I'm lame... I like my english dubs (except for attack on titan)

wow! looks like a lot of fun!

This was the era I grew up in. I'm glad those mullets got some good screen time.

Captain Falcon probably just wanted to see some moves.

Look guys... you can drive the Blue Falcon as Link in Mute City... what more do we need?

I want to know where Metroid is headed more than F-Zero though... They haven't even put Zero Mission on VC yet.

Should've released mega man legends...

Can you hop out of your mech in this like Metal Warriors?

so wow

Do Link's legs bend?

@Genesaur wasn't he sort of a pig in twilight princess?

I'm trying so hard not to watch anything else from this game to make sure it stays fresh... but there's literally new stuff coming out every few days!

The real question... do you guys think he can beat Glass Joe?

There's a whole roster of male characters they can choose from, I think it's just a matter of time. I'd love to see any one of these characters (some of it is wishful thinking... but if Agitha is in there, who knows?):

Skyward Sword:
Pipit (you know you wanted to play as him)
Jakamar
Eagus
Gondo

Twilight Princess:
Auru
Hero's Shade
Mayor Bo
Prince Ralis
Renado
Rusl

I've been thinking of this game as more of the Smash Brothers of the Zelda universe. Is that a fair assessment? Sort of Hyrule's All Stars?

Pretty pumped... both of those trailers looked much more polished.
