"But I'd like to see a game AFTER Metroid Fusion."
Well, four years later and here we are: METROID DREAD!
Cool that you're into the Metroid Games
I like how you changed the outro from the usual screen-punch to a blaster sound effect
G M C Pretty cool! Now I just have to shout "Missile!" In Arnie's voice!
I love it, totally agree!
Woah dude spoiler alert

Oops.
G M C I literally read your comment right before the outro. Great timing
This game just made me realize just how awesome the Metroids can be when they don't die at their first stage. They're like Xenomorphs.
I'm so happy that you enjoy the Metroid series! Favorite video game series of all time. Glad you enjoyed it!
Got an Ad for this game before a lets play, and it was like...
SAMUS IS BACK
and then the first 5 seconds of the lets play was...

MORE GAME REVIEWS PLEASE!!!
I'd love to hear your opinion over the "big" game reviewers! I feel like I can relate to you much more being a casual gamer my self!
Hoping for his South Park Fractured But Whole, Shadow of War, or Battlefront review
fordis2 he has yet to give us a zelda review
He's primarily a movie reviewer so we're lucky he reviews games he wants to talk about.
@ The Fools Awaken I thought he already gave a BotW Review.
BUY THIS GAME! Show nintendo we love metroid
DrViperVideos already did and got the metroid amiibo pack, too lol
Great game.
Just bought it, cool game
It's so great to see that Jeremy is a Metroid fan! I love him even more now!
LOVE the Metroid franchise. I bought a Samus themed 3DS XL just for Samus Returns. Don't regret it at all. Also Super Metroid is on the virtual console for the 3DS. SO GOOD! :D
I played Metroid Samus Returns and it was pretty fucking kick ass.
Fazed_Mario_ 94 Did the game also kick your ass a lot?
I got the Nintendo Switch because of Metroid Prime 4!
Sucker
Still waiting for super mario odyssey
Chris Stojanovski nice ^^ same here but also for super mario odyssey and breath of the wild
I'm excited about metriod and Pokemon
That’s rough buddy
Can't wait for Metroid Prime 4!!
Hell yeah man.
"YES! YES!" - M. Bison
I am too but I wish they would name it something else. Don't get me wrong, my body is TOTALLY ready for a new 3D metroid game. But the Prime storyline has concluded. Give it a new title.
Maxwell Stevens gonna be a long 4 years
Maxwell Stevens omg yessss.. It'll be awesome if they did another one like how how they had the mystery of M.. It was nice on the wii and prime 3
Just 100% completed the game yesterday! A fantastic remake that was able to satisfy my Metroid craving VERY temporarily... now on to Metroid Prime 4! And by the way, i'd also like a follow-up to Fusion.
I love it too. Even better than Super Metroid, and probably on the same level as Fusion, Prime 2, and Zero Mission.
Love Fusion and Prime 3
If you have a pc you should play AM2R which is a fan remake of metroid 2 and is highly praised.
CEROSER I have, it's equal with Samus Returns in my opinion, and both do things better than the other. It's pretty damn amazing.
Brian. Jr Montoya yeah Im playing through it for the first time
Really nice seeing you back doing Game Reviews.
Totally agree, 13hours for 100% and I WANNA JUMP BACK IN. I have the amiibo for the harder modes so I'm really tempted
Thank you for the awesome review. This was my first game ever. The original metroid 2 for grey box gameboy. Not only did I beat the game. I drew my own map and my family helped me. I was 6 years old when I got the original. And it was the first game I ever beat. Thank you for supporting this game with a solid review. Its so awesome to see my childhood in my hands again. Seeing the support for this series is special to me. And also thank you for the outro blast sound from samus's handcannon sound.
Jeremy pls do more video game reviews
Old, new, I DONT CARE I JUST WANT MMMOOOOORRRRREEEEEE
SPOILERS!!
The second end boss i disagree with. Ridley at the end was perfect. It shows that he wanted the baby metroid, the fight was brutal which is why he wants to get revenge. In super metroid ridley immediety steals the baby, like screw you! You messed me up on SR388, revenge bitch!
I get what they were going for, and it does make for a more instant transition from 2 to 3. But I also think it's more effective if he were absent for the entirety of 2, then the threat Samus thought was long dead reappears at the beginning of 3.
Jeremy Jahns SPOILER WARNING, READERS
Since the final boss here is basically Meta Ridley, it makes sense that he is still alive and kicking, since Metroid II chronologically takes place after the Prime Trilogy, where Samus had her fair share of encounters with him. That said, I agree that his appearance is largely fanservice, although I think that in addition to him being used as a transition device for this game to lead into Super, I bet they also just wanted to throw him in so that he could be reintroduced to newer players, yet again marking the big return of Metroid, and of course, Samus herself!
Now you got your Metroid 5 Jeremy, hope your happy.
Awesome, Jeremy! Cheers from Brazil
the country of piracy and funk
welcome to hell
Legit can't wait for Jeremy's review for metroid dread cuz I really like it so far
Thanks for the review, Jeremy! I am a huge Metroid fan and have played all the games up until now. It really hurts not being able to play this newest game since it's only on the 3DS. The 3DS is near the end of its life cycle and I'm not sure it's worth the $200 investment just for this one game. :'( I really wish they also released this game on the Switch somehow at 1080p resolution so all the Metroid fans who don't have a 3DS can also support the franchise.
CoD4Disturbed did you play the game in the end?
Anyone surprised he didn't mention AM2R ?
Well not everyone is interested in fanmade games.
Love it when you do one off reviews on games! I did pick this game up last week and so far am satisfied with it.
Awesome! I was not expecting you to review this, but I love it when you review games! Especially when it's Metroid! I will say though, I think the increase in "floor traps" was meant to get people to use Spider Ball/Phase Drift more (not that I did), and I liked the end boss. It raises as many questions about plotholes as it fixes, but the series is filled with plotholes anyway.
Wow a game review! What a metaphorical treat
ZeldaFan does voices unfortunately I don't.
Dang I was already obsessed with this game and now Jeremy gave it an awesometacular when I didn't even know he was a Metroid fan! Keep up the good work Samus and Jeremy.
I am still waiting for that breath of the wild review
Clocktothetick he probably never finished it tbh
Clocktothetick 2021
Remember there’s also the DLC during the holiday
CEROSER Wouldn’t blame him, BotW is a massive game
Don't hold your *breath* for it... ;)
Jeremy, I'm a huge fan of you and your work, man. In my opinion, you're the best reviewer on UA-cam. You're the most fun to watch. It's obvious that you're a really passionate dude when it comes to movies and I love that about your reviews. I can say the same thing about your video game and show reviews. It's obvious that you enjoy what you do. Best wishes and keep up the good work, my dude.
Well thanks Alex. I do love what I do. To keep that feeling up, I sometimes need to skip out on mediocre stuff, so it doesn't feel like work.
Jeremy Jahns, thanks for replying, man. Made my night! Take care!
Love you Jeremy. Miss your game reviews!
Glad you liked Jeremy. I recently bought as a person who hasn't played the 2-D meteoric games I found this kind of difficult. Can't wait to get more into it and beat it.
There is a bonus scene at the end that hints as a fusion remake possibility.
Caleb Woodson uh We have a perfect fusion game, we need a sequel!!!!
Just saying what i saw
More that its just hinting towards Fusion.
The final Chozo memory to me, seems like a dead ringer as to what they want to do next.; especially with its title. Also producer of this game: Sakamoto already stated, he wants his next project to be a new game. So if his next project going to be in the Metroid series, it'll certainly be a new game.
I wasn't having a go at you, sorry if it seemed that way
I would love to see this made into a netflix series. I read somewhere that director John Woo has the movie rights to this franchise. Maybe a good movie of this can be made, who knows.
It should've been for the Switch.
- It would look graphically better
- More controller options
- Portable and Console choice
- HD rumble
I love the counter ability because now, it feels like the enemies are actively attacking you instead of just being there crawling on the floor
Damn Jeremy, I've been subscribed for a hot minute and you just now drop the bombshell that you're a Metroid fan? Shoulda said so sooner!
I saw this video pop up on my feed and when i noticed the thumb nail and got excited. i just played all the metroid games right before this one was released.
SPOILER!!!!! Bro come on. This game has the best Ridley boss battle period. It was a little bit out of place, but definitely worth it. He is called Proteus Ridley in this game. Named after the early greek sea-god who is known for his adaptibility and versatility, just like Ridley who keeps surviving and coming back. So I can't consider that a con (even though it's a bit of a cop out). They even gave him pieces of armor, instead of him being naked. Now he actually looks like a space pirate instead of a regular monster. And on top of that, the baby Metroid helps you out in this fight, so you actually get a stronger bond with it.
Yeah having no Shine Spark was a bit unfortunate :(. But it was to be expected as the orginal didn't have it either. We have the Powerbomb Shine Spark though. that's good enough for me.
As a super fan of the original Metroid games I am glad this was done well, and will look for it after Xmas. Thanks Jeremy for the passion an effort. now just hoping for that last season Arrow review. .
Dude you should have a gaming review channel!!! Or a gaming channel in general :D Love these m8
"Call me a cheater! Do not give a s***!"
-Jeremy Jahns
I love your game reviews!
I know it takes forever to play an entire game vs just watching a movie, but I love me your game reviews!
I love your videogame reviews hope you can do more....
It's awesome to see that you're into Metroid, Jeremy! I enjoy your movie reviews, and it's nice to see you review some games, too. I 100%'d this game and I loved every minute of it. It's definitely my new favorite of the 2D/classic style games. On another note, have you ever played the Prime games? My overall favorite is Prime 2.
You should do more game reviews. Of course you can still do your movie reviews, but the addition of a game review once in awhile would be nice. Btw keep doing what you are doing
Hell yeah, wasn't expecting you to review this. Wasn't expecting a new Metroid game either, let alone two.
Hey, Jeremy. So nice to see you review this game. This franchise need more love and support from fans. So Nintendo will hear us and keep making more Metroid games.
I'm dying to learn what happen after Fusion. So let's hope this game sells well enough for Nintendo to make more side-scroller Metroid games :)
I so agree with the point about Floor Traps when it comes to other games in the series. The ones in Metroid Fusion caught me off guard, where I activated a Floor Trap in an E Tank room and then taken to the room where Nightmare awaits. There was another one where I was trying to get one of the items in Sector NOC so I could 100% it, but then the Floor Trap took me down a screen and I don't recall having a way back up except for going through the Restricted Zone and then being forced to talk to Adam AI, he looks all the Recharge Room doors in all Sectors so I can't go back to NOC until I beat the game and Adam unlocks those Recharge Room doors. I hope Samus Returns is nothing like that in terms of Floor Traps.
I was so excited when they announced this game! I played Metroid 2 so much as a kid and this remake didn't disappoint. There are so many nods to the original game: map design, enemy placement, power up locations, all of them sending nostalgia thrills down my spine as I played. My only real complaints come from two parts very late in game where I felt the game simply doesn't give you enough information to work with. Those bits aside, I had a blast playing this game!
I am not a fan of Nintendo games....PC gamer here, but......hell, Jeremy can review pretty much anything. Keep it up.Big fan.
Great review Jeremy!
I gotta say I am really impressed that you beat this as fast as you did it's been roughly 2 weeks and you just busted it out like it was nothing well done sir!
YES! Jeremy you were already one of the greatest before but you're even better for reviewing this.
Awesome video Jeremy! I’m a huge Metroid fan too!
This is one of the few 3DS games where I played with the 3D turned on because HOLY CRAP the environments in 3D look incredible and add a lot of depth to the atmosphere.
It is funny that I got Into the Metroid games with Prime 3 on the Wii. I remember being amazed at the game and played it to death. I have very recently started playing Super Metroid on the 3DS Eshop. I plan on getting this game as soon as I complete Super. Great review man! and I totally know what you mean about the 100% thing! Such good games.
Jeremy's reviews a Metroid game? Awesometacular!
never played the games...just here to listen to Jeremy's beautiful voice 😁
Hey, Jeremy! I used to love the Metroid games! I used to love games in general...before I became a huge Movie lover lol Really cool news though! Hope you've been well!
Bluray Dan i
You can do both you know ;)
I guess you're right! lol
Hey you followed me on Instagram one time
Hey cool! lol
I bought it day one and I'm glad you took the time to play the whole thing rather than majority of mainstream game reviews now a days.
This game was much needed especially after Other M. And this review shocked me because the other reviews I've seen said the end boss was a nice surprise and was a great addition.
I like the scan because it means you don't have to go back through the whole map powerbombing like a madman near the end to get 100%
Metroid has been one of my favorites for a long time and Return of samus for the gameboy was my first game in the series. I too have always wondered what takes place after Fusion and as we await Prime 4 I am really excited thanks to this full on remake of a beautiful childhood memory of when I thought I was a badass killing alien parasites.
Man, I was waiting to see if Jeremy would do a review. YEAH!! Great review, bro! I love this game...it...it nearly knocked Super Metroid off my number 1.....nearly? Hummmm...playing it again for the forth time....
Metroid Samus Returns is a very awesome game. My first play through was 25 hours because I didn't want it to end. Everyone with a 3DS needs this game now. If you have a 2DS, you still need it. The 3D aspect of the game is very well done.
i’ve been playing this game since i picked it up on launch day, and i’ve found myself in the same ‘predicament’ as you; i can’t put it down. within 24 hour of beating it, i started my ng+/hard mode play through. not sure if i’m making better time, but i’m certainly enjoying it just as much the second playthru!
regarding story, i’m half-hoping Prime 4 takes place after Fusion just so we have a continuation of the story confirmed, but maybe alludes to events that can be more directly explored in a 2D?
either way, the first lady of gaming is back and kicking more ass than ever!
Great review, but where's FF this month?!?!? 30 years of awesomeness!
I'm playing he game now and love it. My only gripe that I have with it that not a lot of reviewers have mentioned so far is the lack of diversity in enemies. I wish they would have added more than just the flying bat thing and the other very common creatures that pop up in every area. Other than that, a solid game so far.
Metroid II The Return of Samus was one of the first games I ever played. Was born in 1997, and in probably like 2000 or 2001 or so I got a Gameboy Color, Metroid II, Pokemon Silver, and Tetris. Great times.
Damn, Jeremy, I never knew you were such a big Metroid fan!
Excellent review. I wonder, do you have a Switch and are you planning on buying one?
I'm still in the process of finishing it and I'm loving it immensely. My only gripe is the lack of a scan visor. After the Prime series made that way of reading lore fun I just assumed it would be added. But after leaving the ship, starting to descend and finding that one body of the marine, I was so sad that I couldn't scan.
Dude the Ridley appearance makes sense because that’s the only way he knew that Samus had a baby Metroid in her possession and that’s why he chases after in Super Metroid. I also real liked the setup to fusion.
Never have I clicked on a JJ review so fast.
Thanks for making this review, Jeremy. Unlike other Nintendo franchises, Metroid really benefits from the good word of mouth and promotion even on a smaller scale.
Great video Jeremy! I've also waited for a new Metroid game like this. Not perfect but it's still great. Are you looking forward to Bloodstained?
Hell yes! contributed to the kickstarter!
Jeremy, you should play a game called "Shadow Complex". Came out around 2009. PHENOMENAL side-scroller.
I can't believe it, he's talking about a game again!? It been so long
Samus Returns is pretty awesome. First time I played a Metroid game. Actually made me go back and get Zero Mission, Super Metroid and Fusion for 3DS and WiiU. And I also got the Metroid Prime Trilogy for WiiU.
Love your video game reviews! Hope you can do more of these. I know it has to be a game you're passionate about, which I'm A-OK with. Don't want ya to review something you don't care about!
Jeremy, have you ever played Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga? The remake is coming out in two weeks and I hope you review. Amazing RPG.
Enrique Arellano I had no idea about a remake. Thank you.
Hey Jeremy, great review! 👍🏼 imma try to get this game now. I was wondering if you’re gonna buy Star Wars Battlefront II this year? There’s no season pass! 🤗
Can you please to a review for the other metroid games too if you can?Or only for the side scrollers?
you know something is not right when Jeremy has done more game reviews recently
than angry joe show
Jeremy: I have been waiting for this for soooooo long. Now I want another one.
Jeremy's a Metroid fan. Awesome. The game is pretty great, so it's nice to see that someone agrees. I didn't enjoy hundred percenting it, though. The way in which some items were gated off until the VERY end really annoyed me. Still, he is right about the replay value. I really want to get the zero suit endings on all the difficulties.
Hey Jeremy! I've never played a Metroid game, but have been interested in picking this up as my first. Is Metroid: Samus Returns a good game to get into the series?
Really liked that you made this review. lol I've loved nintendo since I was 4. Probably will be a fan for life
I finish this game today. Took my sweet time with this one since I have been waiting for 13 years.
I thought since you were a film reviewer that this review would be pretty bad, but it was great !
I hope Jeremy will have something to say about Metroid Dread when it comes out.
This game is incredible. Spot-on, Mr. Jahns.
Just finished it. Loved it! Glad he reviewed this.
This is the real reason why I'm up at 1 am. So watch Jeremy 😂
lmfao that thumbnail had me thinking it was morphin time 😂😭
Insta like because you love and give some needed love to metroid with this review.Thank you Jeremy.
Samus returns is awesome. Glad Metroid is back and hopefully staying for a long time without another long gap between new entries.
More game reviews bro! good stuff as always
