Metroid: Samus Returns announced for 3DS, coming September 16th
Update: Nintendo Australia has confirmed that Metroid: Samus Returns will go on sale in Australia on September 16th. The Metroid and Samus amiibo will be sold separately. The press release makes no mention of the special edition announced for America, we’re confirming with Nintendo that we’re not getting it.
Original Story: It’s not every day a new Metroid game gets announced, it’s not every decade that two get announced.
Metroid: Samus Returns is coming to the Nintendo 3DS. It’s a remake of the Game Boy title Metroid II: Samus Returns and its coming September 15th. Also announced for release was a special physical edition of the game, which features the game itself and the soundtrack on CD, and two new Amiibo; the first is a Metroid itself, featuring real squishing action, and the second is of Samus in the pose featured on the box art of the original Metroid II.
The game is being co-developed with MercurySteam.
This looks freakin excellent! Long live the 3DS – its astounding the amazing games library it has!
Are we getting the special edition in Australia?
Damn looks nice, I’m surprised how strong the 3DS support still is.
I know the 3DS is still going strong, but it really would have been nice to have this come out on the Switch. Playing on the 3DS feels like it’s so much more inconvenient now.
