Topic: Metroid Samus Returns (Metroid 2 remake) for 3DS, developed by......Mercurysteam

Does anyone else hate the visual style as much as I do?  It just looks so bland.  I know I can't expect 2D pixel art these days, but I would hope this would look as good as the 3DS version of Mirror of Fate.  And I'd hold out hope that they could polish it up before release, but there's only three months to go.

I don't mean to whine.  I'm pumped that we're getting more Metroid, and a sidescroller to boot.

In fairness, I've thought this about MoF and Smash 3DS and I was proved wrong while playing both (negating MoF's framerate). 3DS trailers mostly look like dogshit compared to being played on the console.

As much as I prefer 2d pixel art, I don't think this looks bad by any means. If anything I think the overall hue looks like it's over-saturated, but this may just be the trailer. I think it will look similar to Other M when you play it in real time.

It seems like they're trying to do something gimmicky with the circle pad.

Oh fuck, here we go again.

Round & round & round we go, where she stops, nobody knows.

MercurySteam and the counter system have me a little worried, but hopefully Nintendo will keep things on track. Parrying is fun in Slain: Back from Hell, so it can work in a sidescroller.

I think the parrying looks interesting, certainly better than the plain old grabs from Other M.
