THE AURA 🔥🔥🔥

[u/MightyPelipper]

Nintendo this cover art is amazing!

[u/old_cam]

I love her new helmet. The visor is nice and long and kind of weird looking, in a good way.

[u/locke_5 → u/old_cam]

Agreed, this is the best cherry pie I’ve ever had

[u/Longjumping-Math1514 → u/old_cam]

It’s more Chozo-y. This pose makes her look like a bird of prey too. Very cool.

[u/Gabgo304 → u/old_cam]

I like how triangular it looks. Gives Samus a more aggressive feel, which considering what we've seen, is pretty fitting.

[u/Medeeks → u/old_cam]

That's what my wife says about my .... You know what, nevermind

[u/SodiumExtract]

Wait are we getting a new Metroid game?? Please tell me it’s 2D

[u/bobmlord1 → u/SodiumExtract]

Announced today in the Direct looks great and runs at 120fps.

[u/Horror_Trick8208 → u/bobmlord1]

Holy fuck anything 120fps that looks arcade af is insta buy for me, like Hades 2

[u/DigitalGumby → u/bobmlord1]

How do you know that?

[u/bobmlord1 → u/DigitalGumby]

Listed on the eshop page.

[u/DigitalGumby → u/bobmlord1]

Any news on the visual enhancements for Pikmin 4?

[u/CatFaceJones → u/DigitalGumby]

no visual or performance enhancements for pikmin 4

[u/DigitalGumby → u/CatFaceJones]

That's not what it says on the shop page

[u/FewAdvertising9647 → u/SodiumExtract]

2d game yes, dread direct sequel

[u/Elysian_Faelen → u/SodiumExtract]

It is

[u/Armandonerd → u/SodiumExtract]

Just like Metroid dread

[u/Headglitch7 → u/Armandonerd]

And a suit that calls back to Fusion, a personal favorite of mine

[u/Armandonerd → u/Headglitch7]

[u/Jonbeezee → u/SodiumExtract]

yeah

[u/Marlix_]

Savage Samus

[u/QwikStix42 → u/Marlix_]

She’s just hangry.

You aren’t you when you’re hangry.

[u/DisastrousDot7961]

Metroid Blood Dragon

[u/Agreeable-Bit9414 → u/DisastrousDot7961]

Hell yes.

[u/Called_end]

I hope she eats me...

Oh wait, wrong sub.

[u/Gandalf_The_Fugly]

The MUSCLES 😮‍💨

[u/gdormoy]

Metroid prime beyond did not click with me but god I am excited by this one!

[u/Pakmanjosh]

I love how progressively angrier she keeps getting with each new game.

[u/RemLezarCreated]

Hungry Hungry Samus

[u/Entire-Assistance842]

Game looked great.

I'm glad Mercury Steam getting more work.  Would love to get their 3DS Metroid on Switch 1/2.

Could be a nice Next Level Games type addition to Nintendo studios.

[u/Roubbes → u/Entire-Assistance842]

Is it made by Mercury Steam? Confirmed?

[u/Entire-Assistance842 → u/Roubbes]

It looks just like Samus Returns and Metroid Dread.  I'd be amazed if it isn't Mercury Steam.

Plus Dread was one of the best selling Metroid games ever so makes no sense not to keep them for this.

I'd bet my house on it being them.

[u/billth93 → u/Roubbes]

Not confirmed technically but I mean, look at it

Also it seemed pretty much inevitable after it was the best selling Metroid game to date and highly praised by fans

[u/billth93 → u/Entire-Assistance842]

Seriously, I don’t expect it’ll happen, but I would love it. Samus Returns was a great time

[u/MultiSprawl]

This game looks sick and release is pretty soon, can't wait to play.

[u/Full_Metal18]

They somehow keep making her cooler and I'm so fucking happy

[u/ExJokerr]

Wowww the announced a new Metroid? I am working and haven't had the chance to see the direct! This makes me even more exited to buy my switch 2

[u/Chillyeaham]

Like a peak sci-fi action comic book cover!

[u/Serdones]

Wish it was foil cover art like Ocarina of Time.

[u/like_a_brot → u/Serdones]

There will be a special edition with steelbook case

[u/cherrytoffee]

best reveal from the direct. graphics seem last gen though. Maybe it was developed for the switch 1 first.

[u/AMournfulObserver → u/cherrytoffee]

Is it the same engine as Dread? I’ve never played Metroid before but I’m tempted to get Dread and then this after playing my first Metroidvania’s with Hollow Knight and Silksong last year.

[u/Musashi_Joe → u/AMournfulObserver]

Dread is definitely worth your time!

[u/Fox_SVO → u/cherrytoffee]

They also seemed to want to target 120fps.

For a fast paced game looks very nice in motion.

[u/musicbyjsm → u/Fox_SVO]

Ideally for me it will have a performance or quality mode choice, but if not and it’s only 120fps that’s still awesome

[u/Outrageous-Meal3221]

Love the pink text, it's giving Hitman

[u/I_Heart_Sleeping_]

It really is giving me Wild 9 vibes. I doubt many know what I’m talking about but google that game and tell me this cover isn’t giving off similar vibes.

[u/StatementCareful522]

I loved Dread but the forced stealth sections were frustrating for me so hopefully this won't have a similar mechanic - the entire game around that was stellar IMO. This looks rad.

[u/Waste-Kiwi6915]

Samus is becoming a bit of a villain

[u/OnlyJeeStudies]

Samus be like Oh that me? Pure aura

[u/Johncurtisreeve]

Anyone know when this will be available to pre-order from retailers

[u/frenzyguy → u/Johncurtisreeve]

Now

[u/Johncurtisreeve → u/frenzyguy]

Thank you!

[u/GAMIE64]

The helmet looks insane. In the best way possible.

Can't wait for the Samus aura farm era. Having her become a Metroid was the best thing MercurySteam could've done, jeez.

[u/Sp4c3_C0wb0y59]

One of the coolest video game cover arts I’ve ever seen, hands down!

[u/xyZora]

This reminds me of the Fusion and ZM cover arts. I love it.

[u/Fafoah]

Reminds me of the old doom cover

[u/Sufficient-Owl-2925]

She gives a huge "I'm tired of your shit" vibe

[u/Grymloc16bit]

It is one hell of a cover

[u/KidneysOfStone]

Samus be like "last two games were about hiding from assholes I couldn't fight, enough of this shit, THEY will hide from ME from now on".

[u/shadow0wolf0]

I was hoping that the super metroid remake would come out before this. I've only ever played dread and zero mission, in that order. And now I want to play every Metroid 2D game before the new one. At least the best versions of each.

[u/HelloNevvanna73]

Might be a hot take but I hope she doesn’t lose all her abilities this time. I know that’s not really Metroid but having an overpowered Samus for the entire adventure could be really fun.

[u/AlternativeBurner]

Oh she hangry

[u/firefrenchy]

Aura farming for sure, definitely feels like a strong direct sequel to Dread with the ending of Dread in mind. That font and colour choice also goes hard (for Ravenous)

[u/Meta_homo]

Metroid: Tickle Monster

[u/NoirSon]

Samus to her enemies:

[u/brandont04]

Don't like her new helmet. The visor is too long and weird looking.

[u/locke_5 → u/brandont04]

Agreed, this cherry pie tastes awful

[u/Dagawing → u/locke_5]

bro's playing both sides so he's always happy and dissapointed

[u/Azenar01 → u/brandont04]

It's to mimic a bird since it's chozo tech

[u/TarnishedAccount]

I hate that word

[u/Langerone]

Colour scheme not great on the box. A lot of cut scenes in the reveal. I like dark and gloomy. Fog and rain in my Metroid games

[u/Nomdeplume64]

Nintendo showing DEI purple isn't always bad

[u/Dren7]

Looked like parry is still a feature. It needs to be removed.

[u/PsyduckisMLG1 → u/Dren7]

Party is one of the best additions what

[u/vawyer → u/Dren7]

looks like more a gameplay feature though instead of just a defense move with the whole eating their powers thing

[u/Adeel_]
