   When I first got a Gameboy, I had quite a few games, but I had three or four that were my Go To games: Metrod II, Mario:Six Gold Coins, Tetris, and Shanghai. It was easy to spend hours immersed in any of them. For about the last ten to fifteen years, fans have been begging for an updated version of Metroid II, similar to Metroid: Zero Mission. That hasn’t happened until now with a beautiful 3-DS game.If this had been a colorized, graphics updated port, I would have been thrilled. But instead of just doing that, this is almost a new game. The addition of the map was much needed. When I played before, I had to do my own map on graph paper and it still was a challenge. The new melee attack is a nice addition, but it is taking me some time to adjust to using it. The way I have played Metroid for years has been, Fire, fire, FIRE! This game is a bit different in that you need to learn how to use the counter attack.I’ve ony had the game for a few days and am getting adjusted to the new controls, but I am thrilled and anticipate spending even more time with this game than I have with other Metriod Games. There are timew when I enter an area and can say, -WOW, this looks great! I wonder what Area X will be like. I can’t wait to get there to see.Great job Nintendo!!!

   This is exactly what the series has needed. Totally recommend it, even if you’ve played the original on the old gameboy.The new mechanics are a bit wonky at first, but half way through the game they become second nature. The 2D/3D graphics are a welcome change. Keep an eye out for Easter eggs and references to other games.

   Newcomers and Metroid fanboys can rejoice together – We got the Metroid game we both need and deserve, after a 10 year break from classic side-scrolling action. I’m only 4 or 5 hours in, and I’m about 20% finished, to give an idea of its scale. I have loved all the other mainline Metroid games, so I tend to explore every nook and cranny for secret upgrades and shortcuts.The only thing I can say as a warning is this: this is a difficult game. Even on Normal I have died WAY more than I ever do in the other games (okay, maybe Super Metroid wins in that category for now). It isn’t difficult in a frustrating way though. Unlike other Metroid games, it lets you start a boss fight over again without returning you all the way to your last save point. This solves the frustrating 3 minute slog back to the boss you just failed to defeat over and over. This allows me to focus on memorizing the patterns and attacks of the boss, rather than wanting to throw my DS at the wall because I’ve spent more time walking to the boss than actually fighting him.Even though I’m not finished with the game yet, I still felt I should write my thoughts on how much I already love it. The 3D environments are beautiful, even though you can only move side-scrolling. This reminds me of thr first time I ever got hooked on the old games, but with a beautiful and refreshing polish.Samus has returned, and the wait has been worth it.

   It is the best metroid game on the Nintendo 3ds.
