Metroid: Samus Returns 3DS (Metroid II Remake)





http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds/games/metroid-samus-returns-special-edition/149643



Comes with a soundtrack of the game in a big box. Also has a reversible cover. So cool to finally see another Metroid game, both 2D and 3D none the less! This was sold out yesterday but seems to be in stock again now.

  • I preordered mine and the metroid amiibo two pack. I do not think it is exclusive, if it was gamestop would be holding it up over retailer's heads like that other cloud amiibo.
  • Friend of mine said on facebook that "the C&D on AM2R makes sense now"...



    I say the big "N" would have shut it down regardless. lol



    But if that whole fiasco yielded this then... neat.

    I agree, i have that downloaded too but have yet to play it.

    This is similar to the mario freeware game that was going to be released with a level editer and then we got mario maker.
  • Thanks for the heads up!
  • Meanwhile, Europe's Special Edition comes with the soundtrack AND a 40 page art book, key ring, pin, steel book, and a download code for the original Metroid 2:

    Sigh. Why does Europe get special treatment? The U.S. is by far the biggest market for Metroid and it has always sold far better in the U.S. than in Europe.

    Y'know, that does show the level on how much Nintendo is listening... Maybe we just need more hackers, modders and developers to infringe on Nintendo's IP just to get what we want? 



    Someone needs to make a console full-screen Pokemon game, complete with editable avatars and online battling/co-op, make a big thing about it, have Nintendo shut it down, and maybe we can finally get it officially. They've tested the online waters with Splatton, Nintendo can make it if they wanted to.



    Hey, a man can dream.

    Too bad the translation of mother 3 got us nothing but it does seem like, Nintendo want's to give us what we want but only when interest spike's in a certain way. Great idea on a Pokemon game, i just want another sprite based metroid game and a real sequel to metroid fusion.
  • Are you saying the Special Edition is a GS exclusive? Because I'm seeing the regular game on Amazon. I'm thinking that an extra $18 is not worth extra stuff for me, but I will think about it.
  • Why is this not loading to me

    Try using desktop site if you're using mobile. Mobile wasnt workin for me either.
  • I need this. I am frothing at the mouth for this game. This is a special edition that I will end up paying a scalper for, so I hope I get it at retail!

    Why not just pre order? You dont have to put money down online till a week or so before it drops. Plus you can always cancel if you need to.

    I lied it still says unavailable.  
  • I don't want this special edition, but just wanted to say how hyped I am for this game. Probably my second most anticipated game this year behind Super Mario Odyssey.

    Sorry man, thats lame. I had pre ordered right before writing that :/
  • It's out of stock again as i just tried and its not available. Don't really need a soundtrack anyhow so i'll get the normal one. I'm still ticked over that Cloud figure, i didn't even get a chance to preorder it.

    Same here, I hope Konami and Capcom look at the reaction for this game and start cranking out Megaman and Castlevania again soon

    Honestly, after what Konami has done I wouldn't trust them with either of those franchises again, not gonna lie.

    "Mirror of fate" was no SOTN that for sure  


  • Back up guys, just pre-ordered it...
  • Whelp, now we know why AM2R got C&D'd.

    I wonder what else I missed from e3...
  • Willing to bet AM2R is still the better game...
  • It's still up, I just pre-ordered mine.
  • Pre-ordered. Here's hoping it goes up on Best Buy soon

    Yeah, AM2R will be hard to beat. Maybe impossible.

     
  • Well, I ended up pre-ordering it since I have the option to cancel. That give me time to think about whether or not it's worth the extra money for the Special Edition.
  • Has anyone seen anything that states specifically whether this is going to be a "regular" 3DS title or if it requires the newer model 3DS? I'm looking for actual, verifiable fact not anyone's/everyone's well informed armchair guesses (as my guess would be that it would require the newer hardware but can't find verification of that and am hoping I'm wrong).
