![]() ![]() ![]() That's partly what makes Super Metroid so good no one's really tried to copy it, because it did what it did so well. Even then, it's debatable how much Super Metroid is actually being copied when future Metroidvania-style games swap out pieces, and loosely rely on the formula rather than following it note for note. It's the third entry in an unproductive series (relatively-speaking compared to Zelda or Mario) that until recently hasn't enjoyed the same number of copycats. Or, in this case, if the hero is the maze what happens if you try to rebuild that? Should you rebuild it enough times to perfect the model, will anything in the future come close at recapturing this accidental glory?Īnd that's what Super Metroid is: lightning in a bottle. What survives when you rebuild the hero? I'd ask myself. They weren't identical, mind you but the adaptation from one medium to the next taught me an appreciation of transmedial themes and devices that would carry over into my academic work. Furthermore, being a huge fan of Alien (1979) and the protagonist Ellen Ripley from that movie, I always enjoyed the deliberate parallels between her and Samus Aran. Something about the non-linear world and lack of narration in-game was fascinating to me. But I remember always remembering Super Metroid fondly. Of course, as time went on my brothers' interests went onto other games. But after spending weeks trying to find power bombs, eventually Ben's patience wore out and I do recall have some opportunities to play (three save slots helped with this). There wasn't always time to share, and often Ben, the eldest, took control. Four brothers under the same roof, but only one controller. My twin received it for our eighth birthday and from then on out, we played it non-stop. It’s been long enough for a new 2D Metroid game instead of a port.I first remember it for the console itself. I really hope this isn’t the only 2D Metroid game next year… that would be disappointing, I’ve been waiting for a remake or a new one since Samus Returns released in 2017. ? Salva-taro Minus a Gall Bladder ? November 11, 2020Ĭonversely, some expressed dismay at the prospect of a Metroid: Samus Returns port for Switch – as they wished to see new Metroid titles on the system instead. Market team: Metroid 2 remake ON THE GO with our Switch Market team: Metroid 2 remake ON THE GO with our 3DS Fingers crossed for Prime Trilogy tied in with that as well ? ![]() I’ve been hearing about a 2D Metroid for a while, so my best guess is that Samus Returns is releasing soon to build up momentum for a new 2D Metroid in time for Metroid’s anniversary next year. ![]() Nevertheless, some folks tossed up their hopeful speculation of seeing the game make its way to the hybrid console some day: Nintendo has never announced a Switch port before – and the company most likely created this image just as generic marketing material. Of course, Metroid: Samus Returns is only exclusive to the 3DS right now. Upon closer inspection, however, observant fans soon noted a peculiar image – which seemingly shows the 3DS game Metroid: Samus Returns on a Nintendo Switch screen. Recently, the company updated their website with a new listing for the Super Metroid Skin & Screen Protector Set for Switch. While fans continue to wait restlessly for any news about Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo may have unintentionally sparked off some commotion about other Metroid titles possibly heading to the Switch. ![]()
