This @Njolk

Not every game has to be stupidly long.

Part of me wants to say that I'm at a point in my life (job, responsibilities, etc.) where I don't necessarily want games based on long length. Give me a solid experience that clocks 8-10 hours and I'm quite happy.

But then another part of me reminds me that my favorite series is Yakuza, and I easily spend more than 100 hours going through those. >.>

Is it going to be entirely 2D? The trailers are confusing me.

Its 3D in a 2D/side view perspective.

Anything that doesnt happen on the 2D plane is a cutscene

I want to like it, but I'm concerned that the point of it is kind of lost. So many great metroidvanias already out there, at a fraction of the price, with more content than any Metroid has had.

It looks great and I've wanted a sequel to Fusion for so long but I'm simply not into games enough these days to want to buy a Switch for it. I'll watch someone play it on YouTube though.

School is brutal right now and funds are tight though, so I'm gonna ask for it for Christmas

Itll be hype for 2 days upon release and then everyone who wanted it has it and has beat it and then itll just die off like all metroids.

I am, but I have to get a new switch before I can play it, so it may be a while before I get it.

Not every game has to be stupidly long.

Sometimes its not about "being long". It's more about replayability, which compared to most indy Metroivanias, the main Metroid games have next to none.

This is coming from someone that has over 500 hours between Dead Cells and Blasphemous though.

The thing to consider, though, is that besides Samus Returns, which is a remake, you are comparing a 2017 and 2019 game to a series of 2D games made in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. It's a bit of an unfair comparison as 2D games have evolved tremendously since the last 2D Metroid games were released.

We don't know enough about Dread to know how much of a replayability factor it will have, and I don't know that comparing it to a predecessor made roughly 2 decades ago is a good comparison.

Dead Cells is a rogue lite though, is that really a fair comparison? Those games are made with replayability in mind

Either way, Metroid games have historically been popular speed games, so I would definitely consider them to have plenty of replayability

My body is fucking ready! Hopefully it delivers. I'm cautiously (just a tad) optimistic.

I personally enjoy playing around with sequence breaks (in Super, Prime and Zero Mission mainly), so I hope there are a few of those in there. Plus, if it's a high quality, fun, well paced game, that'll add some natural replayability. Fusion doesn't seem like it would be replayable, but I must have replayed it at least 5 times.

It's not great, but it's something.

You know what would be really awesome though? An inbuilt randomizer!
