This is a stupid question, but I want to support this game so we get more decent Metroid in the future. Is there much of a difference buying from Amazon rather than directly from Nintendo how much money will go to the Nintendo/the devs?

I think they get the most money from eShop

Which one Sup Forums

Let's be real for a second.

It's obvious that Sylux will be revealed as the green haired sister of Samus.

Samantha or Sumass ?

Metroid is back, Nintendo is back, Xbox is back, and Halo will be back. This is going to be the best fucking years in gaming, I may cry.

Can u not

Are you a devil?

In nintendo's case on the 3ds, its better to buy physical. That way you won't lose your game if the system ever breaks or is stolen.

When did Halo leave in the first place?

No, its her brother Samuel.

We MGS now.

It's obviously Justin Bailey

>Halo will be back.
Let it go, living in denial won't do anything.

VOTE ON SR VS AM2R

strawpoll.me/13957063

The result genuinely surprises me. Can't wait to play SR, because It's been out of stock at my local retailers.

Your in for a treat.

I've killed the queen, just picking up left over items before I fight "you know who".

Unironically, I think that Sylux will be revealed as a female. He/she is fully armored, he/she could be of any sex or species.

A user pointed the other day that the Metroid Franchise is full of "female" antagonists :

-Mother Brain
-MB
-Queen Metroid
-Can we consider Metroid prime as a female ?
-Same for SA-X

When they tried to replace the Chief.

Halo 6 and beyond
>Master Chief focused
>no squad gameplay
>new writer
>self-contained story
>split screen
>lan
>Halo Wars 2 art style
>more classic Halo music
>Halo ring
>all content and features at launch
>AI in Forge
>dev-made BTB maps
>new campaign level design lead
>black undersuits

Ridley was also a female in the Nintendo Power comics, if i recall correctly.

Kirby was originally yellow

And how do you know it'll be good, when in the hands of those who fucked it up to begin with.

That's actually pretty interesting.

Super's is my favorite.

A dude from Retro Studio called Ridley "she" during a interview too. It doesn't change a thing but I mean Ridley is a big Lizard/dragon, it's not like he couldn't be a female monster.

that's a fucking hard call my dude
I might have to say Super > MP2 > SR just because of nostalgia's sake

SR version is the definitive one, hands down.

Btw, will we ever discover how many of these LE were printed? I got mine out of pure luck because I was at Gamestop that morning when they opened the pre orders. Then they closed them and never re-opened them. I read online that it was impossible to find open pre-orders anywhere, and I remember people here complaining about it when I made threads about it being available in Italy because there was no open pre order yet in their country.

They delayed the game a year, this the first Halo to have a 4 year dev cycle and Tom French is now the multiplayer lead.

My ears were not ready for that SR one.

Has Ridley ever actually been referred to with male pronouns in the games before? I seem to remember Ridley only being described as "it" in Prime's scans.

why is the game so long?

what were they thinking?

>before I fight "you know who".
Lord Moldybutt?

They were thinking that gamers didn't like 2 hour indieshit. Were they wrong?

I want to play Samus Returns, but my circle pad and R button got fucked up a few years ago.
Is there any way to salvage my O3DS or should I just buy a new one?

>listening to the soundtrack that came with the collector's edition
>they included the fucking Ancient Chozo Ruins theme from 2 but not Surface of SR388
This is some next level incompetence.

God, why is the Metroid music so sexy? I want like a striptease to this or something

Is Samus Returns actually good?

Are there any attacks you can counter during the Ridley fight? I couldn't tell.

Ridley > Mr. Driller > Queen Metroid > Arachnus

I'm just happy they included the "Crashed Ship" music from Prime. Now if they only had Phendrana Drifts...

Only on phase 3, after you hit him enough to cause the baby metroid to drain him for a moment, then he does a counterable melee attack.

>Samantha or Sumass?
Sylux.

>vidya devs
>learning anything ever
pick one and only one

yes

If I went to a strip club and they were playing Metroid music I would instantly cum in my pants.

Sakamoto learned from Samus Returns and so has MercurySteam.

>the strippers are all wearing various Power Suits

isnt sylux ian malkovich

I love all of them but I just can't get enough of the Echoes version. I love that WEE WOO alien shit.

>tfw had the LE pre-ordered but cancelled t days before release because I could get the regular version for literally half the price of the LE

I don't like the new power armour design. There I said it. It's ugly and has random vents in the shoulders. Also the textures in SR are really ass

it is awesome. The game we were waiting for.

Ok.

>Power Suits
>sexy

Why are you just stating facts?

...

It's very good.

I just beat Diggernaut and got the Power Bombs.
Took me like five tries

You can order replacement parts, just make sure you've got the right tool because the screw heads are crazy easy to strip (at least on my o3ds)
My r button took a shit while I was about halfway through MSR, managed to gimp it through the game by blowing into it NES style about every other time I needed missiles. It sucked[\spoiler]

>Sold okay in the UK, nothing groundbreaking
>Did meh in Japan

America had better pull through

Samus was born to breed.

I'm a leaf, and I'll be buying a copy when my paycheck comes in.

fuck

Will my child with her be fucked up because bird dna and SA-X damage?

I'm reading that comic right now and I don't see where Ridley is referred to as a female anywhere.


Speaking of which, holy shit this comic majorly bungles Super's story. As seen in these panels, the baby doesn't make a big heroic sacrifice against Mother Brain, it's just awkwardly and abruptly shot down by these two weird comic relief characters that happen to tag along. Ergo Samus doesn't gain the power to destroy Mother Brain from the Metroid, she just randomly blows her up in one panel and that's it. Samus doesn't even get to have a climatic final battle with Ridley, who runs away like a coward after hearing Samus has arrived and is literally never seen again.

The whole thing makes Other M's "recreation" of Super's ending in its opening cutscene look 100% faithful in comparison.

I always assumed Samus was sterile.

Some of those characters actually returned in the Japan only Metroid manga that was released along side Zero Mission.

I heard it was #3 in Japan.

>Did meh in Japan

It was #3. It did better than it did in the UK.

toobad i cant fucking play it yet because op is an asshole

I WILL NOT PLAY ANY FUCKING GAME UNTIL IT IS NO LONGER DISCUSSED ON Sup Forums OR ITS A YEAR OLD I WILL NOT FUCKING DO POPULAR THINGS

They'll inherit her feather pubes (bird DNA) and vagina dentata (metroid DNA)

do we have to do the game wars thing with AM2R and Samus Returns because I hate it

Samus Returns is good
AM2R was good and most people seemed to like it until the DMCA happened and then Samus Returns got revealed and everything was console wars

salty fans is a dumb reason to hate a game

I haven't seen anything like that so far, it's very refreshing.

>feather pubes

Some people have picked up on how Armstrong Houston is kinda like a proto-Anthony Higgs, being a blue-suited companion of Samus with the same initials (AH).

It's pretty odd how he happens to have a suit that looks almost exactly like Samus', even though it's supposed to be special Chozo technology.

>or if the system is stolen
>that more likely than not will have your game in it.

>It's pretty odd how he happens to have a suit that looks almost exactly like Samus', even though it's supposed to be special Chozo technology.

Although in all fairness reading it now, they do point out how it was homemade and not by the chozo in the comics.

...

if i do things that are popular i am no longer unique

Every snowflake on the mountain is unique, but from anyone's perspective they look identical. Point is, being unique should never have been your concern.

According to the lore, Phantoon is a massive creature in another dimension, and we're only seeing it's head.

Game where we go into Phantoon world when?

BUT IF BUU IS NOT UNIQUE BUU IS NOT SPECIL AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

you won todays autism award
congratulations

>Metroid is back
Is it? Just seems like a remake of Metroid 2 to me and an excuse to shut down a fan game.

Where's the NEW metroid desu, you know, the stuff after Fusion or another timeline :^)

>That way you won't lose your game if the system ever breaks or is stolen.
>phone nintendo
>wait less than a minute in queue
>speak to a person who speaks English and is from your country
>transfer games across
????

I don't get what you mean. I've done this like three times when I've sold a system with them and it's easy as pie.

>that transition to the final chozo memory

Jesus, that was some really cool shit.

what stuff after fusion? metroids are all but gone after fusion their world is vaporized and samus is also apparently a fugative

>metroids are all but gone after fusion
eggsactly, it would be fun to still be space bounty hunter.

If you think about it, the timeline they have doesn't leave much else to do, at all.

I need evil chozo sequel. NOW.

This is completely accurate.

Please stay tuned for Metroid Dread.

>metroids are all but gone after fusion
Don't the GF have the technology to clone them now as evidenced in Fusion's climax? I kind of figured the next game in the series would have been against them.

WITHOUT METROIDS HOW CAN YOU CALL IT METROID? it be like kilong the doctor but continuing doctor who it just doesnt work without thr title character

stop laughing

god i fucking hope this sells enough to warrant a sequel

I wonder if they're tying it into Prime 4 though

Are the Samus returns amiibo available individually? I only want the Samus one but I can only find the 2 packs.

Nope, both or nothing.

...

Probably not. 2D Metroid and Metroid Prime are essentially two subseries that have their own different teams/producers and tell their own story.

Prime 4 will most likely be about Sylux and it will probably take place after Prime 3, and a potential Metroid V would most likely be about the evil Chozo.

Good point, either way I hope both subseries get to thrive.

Extremely unlikely. Sakamoto said his involvement with Prime was just looking at it once in awhile and vetoing things he doesn't like.

I definitely like the queen more than diggernaut.

Calling it now

Bethsada/ID Software is working on Prime 4.

Why do you think Doom/Wolfenstien II is coming to the switch?

Screencap this post to either laugh at me as I am a huge gigantic faggot, or be amazed that I am a fucking wizard.
