Terminate the Metroid menace in this masterful reimagining of her 1991 Game Boy adventure. Samus Aran’s arsenal has been enhanced with new moves and abilities that are sure to help her face the deadly surprises that await. This intense, side-scrolling action platformer is a great entry point into the Metroid franchise and perfect for returning fans as well, and it’s available only on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems."

am2r did better with the waterworks teleporting and logbooks...but i really like the backgrounds on this game..counter is a good idea in concept but slows things down too much...but the all direction aiming is cool and all...also the metroid dna node things are better than the earthquakes

Dang that drill bot chase was the first truly great moment in this game,,,it was a much needed moment of life and adrenaline in this semi standard game so far.
