What an announcement.

It looks amazing, and coming so soon, wow!

 

[Weiss]

Metroid cannot crawl but she can sliiiiiide

 

[foxuzamaki]

I am now satisfied

 

[IronTed]

Holy crap this is amazing. And they called it Dread after all!! So hyped

 

[Phoenix Splash]

Absolutely awesome. That was HOT.

 

[ghostcrew]

FUCK YESSSSSSS

This is amazing.

 

[BlueBrand]

Looks like I am buying a Switch.

 

[Mariolee]

[Deleted member 14568]

nice

 

[KingKong]

why not give it a more cell shaded look, with the low res and aliasing it just looks bad

 

[Paperchampion23]

Nintendo wins E3.

They fucking did it.

Yo just reaffirmation that Prime 4 is still in development was enough for me. I'm so glad this is happening too now

 

[jman2050]

Threw that Fusion Suit in the trash, thank you!

Click to shrink...

That's absolutely the Fusion suit though

 

[LakeEarth]

ITT I realize I completely forgot that Metroid Fusion was technically Metroid 4.

Great news!

 

[Tanooki]

THE HYPE! It looked sooo good. I'm foaming at the mouth.

 

[GamePnoy74]

Been wanting a port of Samus Returns 3ds cuz I didn't think they'd make an actual Metroid 5…finally lol

 

[a Master Ninja]

I want to know if Nintendo is making this internally or not.

 

[Aaronmac]

Nice. Have my reservations, but 60 fps and survival horror angle is interesting. Looking forward to this and any new story developments for sure!

 

[MikeProtagonist]

Oh yes, they actually made her a new design instead of going back to the varia AGAIN for nostalgic bullshit reasons. Looks a bit too much like Samus Returns, but I'm hopeful.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

i'm so happy ;_;

 

[BlkSquirtle]

Why does this name seem so familiar wtf. Was this a fan game that Nintendo ninjad?

 

[Lothars]

Lets be honest if leaker said this no one would have believed them lol.

Click to shrink...

yeah I agree, it doesn't seem like it would have every been true.

 

[Capra]

I wonder if the new suit is here to stay or if this game is gonna be about restoring her suit with Chozo tech after Fusion fucked it up

 

[Virtua King]

It exists! It really exists!!

 

[Baroni]

I can't believe they kept the name, but that is a very Nintendoey fan service thing.

 

[Serpens007]

YESSSSSS

 

[Starwing]

I'm crying, that looked SIIIIIIICCCCK!!! DAY 0!!!

 

[snake2531]

WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!

 

[xir]

Yo can someone post the old screenshot from the old dread?? Think EGM had it

 

[Protein]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

[alphacat]

Is it just me or does this game look seriously ugly?

Click to shrink...

I thought so too, but I don't want to rain on anyone's parade.

 

[SwampBastard]

Whaaaaaaaaaat

 

[Mr Swine]

I'm so happy 😭😭😭😭

 

[Spectromixer]

I'm shook

 

[Thorn]

19

Fucking

Years

 

[VonGreckler]

Holy shit I am so happy

 

[Kaiken]

Lil disappointed in a 2D Metroid tbh

 

[Neuromancer]

Looks slick, I'm in.

 

[Lothars]

I'm so happy it's coming. this is the most excited i've been for a nintendo announcement in a long time.

 

[RagnarokX]

Evil Chozo let's go.

 

[RedHeat]

ACTUAL SEQUEL TO METROID FUSION AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[ReliableMerman]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[alr1ght]

Very good. More 2D games, Nintendo.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Other than the name, there wasn't anything all that impressive in that trailer. I'm not in love with the look of it and we've been feasting on A+ Metroidvania's the last several years so the bar is set pretty high.

 

[IronTed]

God, getting a Fusion sequel after 19 years. Wow

 

[Amalthea]

Please tell me it's not MercurySteam

Click to shrink...

It runs way too smooth for MS. lol

 

[Mariachi507]

Don't need anything else, best day ever!

 

[Oaklight]

This makes me so happy. Metroid is finally back and finally with a continuation of the metroid story after almost 2 decades. This is the greatest announcement of all time.

 

[effingvic]

It's been 10,000 years

Thank you Nintendo

 

[Pokemaniac]

Love how the game looks.
When was Dread "leaked"? I thought it wasn't real.

Click to shrink...

I think the consensus is that Dread probably was in development for the DS at some point, but got shelved to focus on Other M (lol).
