About this product
Product Information
Metroid: Samus Returns features the same side-scrolling action as the original 1991 Game Boy title updated for the Nintendo 3DS. Players operate as Samus Aran, exterminating all remnants of the parasitic Metroid civilization. Your commanding officers are sending you to the center of their home planet SR388. The mission is dangerous, but a few new controls and a physical counterattack button make it easier. Players can unlock a special ending that features the history of SR388's original inhabitants.Product Identifiers

Fun, Frustrating, and Memorable
Having played the original Metroid II: Return of Samus, this game is a faithful and imaginative remake of the original. The music in this game is absolutely excellent and very memorable, with a couple familiar tracks from Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. The controls are intuitive, forgiving, and keep decent pace with the player's inputs. The graphics and layout are very nice, with an unusually high number of hidden paths to discover. I do not care for the fact that some achievements are time-based, which is a staple of 2D platforming Metroid games. Also, the fact that the two higher difficulty modes can only be accessed by overwriting a previously-completed existing save file is downright foolish (boss fights and certain enemies in the highest-difficulty mode can be very frustrating, as they will K.O. Samus in only 1-2 hits). Also, the game is woefully short for its price; aside from repeatedly speedrunning the game, there is no replay value or post-game content here. Finally, it is unfortunate that some unlockables are only obtainable if certain Amiibo are used, and then only accessible after completing the game. Overall, it's a great experience, but also a frustrating and short one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Metroid Experience
Great game for Metroid fans and 3DS owners looking for a good new game. Remake of the original gameboy version. Included are updated visuals, cutscenes and more. Optional mechanics are introduced to make exploration and gameplay easier for newcomers. Over all a very immersive and engaging single player experience. Highly recommended to add to your collection.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Amazing Game
I loved super Metroid and this throws me back to that game, to me the graphics have a bit of a bland look from time to time. But over all the gameplay is good, the back tracking and exploring is great. And there is a lot to do and explore.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of the pinnacles of Metroidvania
Some of the most beautiful Metroidvania design I've seen. controls are smoother than butter. I have no major complaints with the game. Biggest thing is the soundtrack, it's nice and moody, but the most memorable songs are just the covers of old Super Metroid songs. Still not bad though. If you want: - a high quality Metroid experience - a masterful Metroidvania - one of the best Nintendo 3DS games - to get HYPE for Metroid Dread - to see how to do a modern remake of an archaic game exceptionally well - a gret run and gun, platformer, adventure game that is challenging but fair Then I can't possibly recommend this game enough. Some of the best boss fights I've ever played, by the way (been gaming for nearly two decades).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Pretty good remake
Not quite as good as the GBA Metroids (fusion, zero mission) but overall a good game, much better than return of Samus for the original Gameboy. I think there's too many boss fights that are almost exactly the same.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Recommended, But Not A Classic
Samus Returns is an enjoyable Metroid game. It's more action oriented, less reliant on exploration, and a little light on the usual Metroid atmosphere, but it is fun to play, especially considering the lack of new Metroid there is to play these days. It looks fantastic, with the 3D effects really drawing you in. It's quite impressive. And the music is top notch as usual, if slightly overdone. Recommended, but not a classic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

"Samus Returns" with "Dread" around the corner!
It's a much needed remake of a classic portable Metroid game, and upgrades everything in positive ways. The GB original was always straight forward and very linear and didn't leave room for exploration or backtracking. However, for this remake, they expanded the map and the levels and added exploration and backtracking and even improved the way you attack to make it more of an action title. The music has been redone and improved with a heavy influence from Metroid Prime's style of ambient music, so it feels very much connected to the rest of the series. Since Metroid Dread has just been announced for the Switch, I recommend everyone giving Samus Returns a chance not just to catch up on the franchise, but to experience how Mercury Steam makes Metroid games.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A fantastic game!
Once you get used to the timing of the melee you use against enemies, this game is awesome. Although a fan of the original and Super Metroid, I never played the Metroid 2 on Gameboy, so it was a whole new experience to me. I am now really looking foward to Metroid Dread on a Comfortable Switch Pro Controller!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
