Yep. I used to be afraid of the ds game as kid when I bought the game came with it. It should be a mech horror game for sure.
@@S-Fan2006 probably because the planet is infected by X parasites. The same thing happened to Ridley in fusions so theirs a high chance that the kraid we see is just a copy x parasite, we could be wrong tho I guess
See what you don't know, is that Kraid is afraid of the dark so he asked if they could keep the lights on during his part even though it would contradict the line lol
By the sheer number of comments of people who have never played Metroid and want to play this, I think we'll see the greatest sale records ever for a Metroid game.
Here's hoping, Metroid is a criminally underrated game series. I dunno if this new entry will have the cult success Hollow Knight did recently, but if it even has half I think we'll be on track for more fantastic games in the future.
I hope so, 2d metroid games are underrated (especially compared to the prime series. I get people like those (i cant understand why but thats just me) but i really hoped that more metroid love would be given to the 2d games)
With Ridley gone for good, it's time for the giant lizard to make a comeback after being put on the sidelines for so long. After all, he was one of the original bosses in Metroid.
That was my first thought! Ridley keeps coming back time and again to the point where it's almost a cliche, but Kraid is an underused, cool, and iconic boss!
Imagine being a small developer studio and pitching a fusion remake to Nintendo. Only to have them tell you to make a NEW entry to one of the best Nintendo franchises ever. And then killing it! Mercury Steam really went full ultra on this.
@@gavinfoote_Music_Surf Originally, yes, then Sakamoto said "Actually, Metroid 2 is in more need of a remake than that one.", so they remade Return of Samus instead, which Sakamoto used to see if they were good enough to finally make Dread. Evidently, they passed the test.
This is the Metroid game we’ve needed for a long time. Finally going past the story of Fusion, a planet that isn’t SR388 and exploration that doesn’t have limited ability options. In the Trilogy and Other M, the screw attack and space jump had limited jumps anyway. I see this as an absolute win!
@@iampxet7252 My first Metroid game was Zero Mission on the GBAsp. I was a little too young to understand how to play that game but thankfully I've kept it with me throughout the years and let me just say that Nintendo needs to stop making cashgrab Mario games and focus on other important IPs such as this one.
Damn, Nintendo really wants Metroid to succeed dont they? I feel like this is the most marketing effort they’ve put to a game that isn’t Pokemon, Mario or Zelda in years.
Come and join the community! Give it a shot, or if you have Switch online as that already has Super Metroid. You can't go wrong with how good these games are.
This is the first Metroid game I actually want. I missed out on Prime and I've only played Super Metroid for a few minutes in timed demos on Smash Bros.
With how much emphasis they put to show Samus' eyes and powerless she is on this new planet, I really hope they add a quick level or a full blown side quest where you play in her Zero Suit, like in Zero Mission, to really hammer in the theme of dread
I'm an old school NES kid. The original was amazingly mindblowing. Literal game changer. I'm so stoked for this game I took the Monday and Tuesday after release so I can play 4 days straight.
The sad part will be... you'll likely only need the 2 days to play and beat it. It'll prolly be beatable in the same time Samus Returns was... under 9 hours on a first exploratory run. Now, if we ever get the next Metroid Prime... Yeah, that's probably a 4 day event provided it ain't like Metroid Prime 3.

you buying this on day one definitely has full impact on whether or not nintendo continues to make metroid games, the future is purely in your hands now
I was searching through to see if someone else pointed this out. We're _finally_ post-Fusion. It's always really, really bothered me that every game since then was a prequel. I mean, if Nintendo didn't want to go forward with Samus' new look, they shouldn't have done it in the first place, no matter how great the game was. It looks like the visuals settled on a compromise because those shoulders are just too iconic, but I'll take it.
@@delcox8165 its not that they didnt want to, sakamoto who is one of the creators of metroid just couldn’t do what he wanted for dread with the hardware at the time, thats why its on switch now after 15 years of it being rumoured
@@meta9492 Seems like a canned excuse; what sort of things? We've had 360° aiming and all sorts of stuff since the Gamecube, it just didn't look this pretty.
@@delcox8165 Dread is about facing an enemy that forces you to run from, which happens to be the EMMI. The EMMI is designed to be the ultimate hunter against Samus, so the AI has to be peak level, meaning that it cannot have an exploitable AI like the SA-X or the Space Pirates from Zero Mission.
@@delcox8165 The thing is that a lot of developers gave up on releasing AAA 2d titles on consoles for a while. Believe it or not, Symphony of the night bombed big time, which is bonkers considering how well that game is. So 2D was pushed to Handhelds, and the hardware on handhelds wasn't up to Sakamoto's liking for dread. Mainly I think the E.M.M.I AI was the culprit. Luckily, indies saved the 2d scene and hopefully Nintendo shows these big AAA companies how to market and sell a 2D title with a AAA budget.
I'm in my late 30s, barely get hyped about anything anymore and this is definitely exciting! The 10 year old me is ready to go on another adventure with Samus.
@Budgie Cat Because you don't know if the game is gonna be release or if gonna be down grade before launch.I don't know the developers of Dark Myth Wukong. With nintendo and mercury steam I have a reasonable expectation the game is gonna be delivered in a reasonable state .
Every now and then Nintendo just completely impresses me out of nowhere. Metroid Dread will surely be one of this moments where I as 36 year old man keep my switch around for.
Wait, are you telling me that in this installment of the Metroid series, I can use a "morph ball" technique, with which I can "morph," as it were, into a sort of "ball," and roll around as such?
They say it for those who don't know but I can't help but feel like "come on, who here didn't already know Samus could morph into a ball using the morph ball ability".
This game seems to catch the atmosphere of Super Metroid and improves it with these hunting sequences. It looks very polished and beautiful. Can't wait.
@ProPlayaSlaya69 art style and gameplay wise it's possible to be on the 3DS.. yes I agree. However the quality of the animations and textures can't be done on a 3ds and I'd take this over a 3ds version anyday
@Zane Dube Probably because it has the most beautiful environments and high quality visuals of any first-party switch game so far? Plus the atmosphere is on point.
This thing is gonna be nuts in the hands of a speedrunner. I hope it comes the best selling game of the saga, so it can have the love it deserves from Nintendo and the fans. Long live Metroid!
@@KM-ye3ij Not 100% guaranteed given the series’ sales history, but I do believe you’re right. Especially since it’s on such a successful system like the Switch, and the marketing push has been pretty strong by Nintendo. Plus, the game looks very good and polished! It might bring in some crossover casual gamers for the holiday season, but I’m not sure how many people will hold out for Metroid Prime 4, since those gamers might prefer the 3D Metroid, you know? I’d be shocked if it didn’t do a million by end of holidays, and 3 to 5 million after a year! Life-time sales, I’m hoping for at least 5 million!
This is going to be awesome. I can't wait. For the fans of Prime, your time is coming. For those fans of the 2D exploration, your time is here. For all fans of Metroid, your prayers will be or have been answered. Enjoy!
This game needs to be supported. It looks incredible, and it’s been too long since Nintendo has given this franchise the spotlight, as they’ve focused mostly on Mario and Legend of Zelda.
Just been playing through Super Metroid for the first time. This series is so great, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to play 2D Metroid games. Don’t get me wrong Prime was great but man alive this series is so awesome! And Dread looks amazing, can’t wait!
Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion are two of my favorite 2D games of all time, I'm so hyped to see more people become Metroid fans after Dread releases 🙏🏿
@@DanielZeal don’t worry mate, I plan on playing Zero Mission and Fusion soon! Already played through the original and Samus Returns as well. Super is definitely my favourite atm. Dare I say favourite SNES game in general too…

@@kinryuten Indeed, and at the top of all that, add driving an entire species to the brink of extinction SINGLE HANDEDLY (except for the baby metroid that she spared of course).
I seriously can't take it anymore!!!! I'm EXTREMELY excited to play this game, because I've never heard about Dread until this year. I've played every game in the series, but I never heard about this game ever, so this is all new to me
The hype just doesn't stop with this game. I love that new ice E.M.M.I that froze that enemy and shattered it. Also the updated Super Metroid music gave me chills I hope that's an in game OST and not just for the trailer. Now if I can just get my hands on that Special Edition.
Hmm they might be all sold out...I'm not sure if they will make more. Lucky for me in Australia it was easy to snag one. They're sold out here too though
Nintendo: "Hey, this special edition is pretty cool. You should get it." Me: "Yeah. Can I actually buy it anywhere?" Nintendo: "How should we know?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly, and I refuse to give scalpers $200, those scumbags. Not getting the game out of spite until they decide to release a second batch. Which will probably be never, knowing Nintendo
Coincidentally, today is the birth day of the late Gunpei Yokoi, producer of the original Metroid on NES, and creator of the Game and Watch system. RIP you magnificent genius
I hope so too … I have seen tons of comments of people trying super Metroid because of dread and some even going through all of them because of Super and loving the series. Let’s hope and enjoy the release!
@@GriffinX81 it’s already happened tho lol. There’s tons of new people trying Metroid because of Dread and the game isn’t even out. … streamers, UA-cam comments, Twitter etc…. 2 old Metroid games became the 1&2 top sellers on the Wii U and physical copies of SR sold out on Amazon as new people hunt for ways to try Metroid in anticipation . Will it sell like BOTW … no but it has definitely brought a ton of attention to Metroid and tons of new people trying a 20 year old game and loving it. Like BOTW it will most likely be the best seller of the franchise.
Botw definitely introduced me to zelda and this will also be my first metroid game but im only buyin it to add to my switch collection lol I doubt it will have the same effect like botw but it will definitely bring in new gamers
I havent played a single metroid game. This game looks amazing! Action, adventure, suspense, horror. The being chased by crazy robots that skulk around really fast is what's selling me. 😃
Can't beat Metroid 3D on the Wii. Yes, you heard me right, the Wii. It's by far the best Metroid game. And Resident Evil 4 on the Wii is the best iteration of that game too!
My first Metroid game was Fusion. I could never beat the final boss. I'm a noob. I love Prime for the music especially, but aliens don't exist. SPACE THEREFORE ALIENS is as dumb as RAINBOWS THEREFORE LEPRECHAUNS. Insane alien believers actually argue that the more evidence of absence of aliens there is (more empty space), the more likely aliens exist. Since when is more of a failure more of a success?
Don’t play Metroid Prime or it’s sequels until playing dread and super Metroid(zero mission if you can find it). Metroid Prime is one of the top 10 greatest games ever made, and it’ll spoil you. Despite being for the Super Nintendo, super Metroid holds up to this day. It’s wild how many SNES games can claim that. Oh and play Metroid Prime in order(prime, echoes, corruption) the story will make more sense.
I love how Mercury Steam succeeds at making Samus look badass, like at 3:05 where she doesn't even flinch by Kraid or the mini cutscenes or her animations. It just keep getting better and better. Also Speed Booster + Shinespark is back!
All EMMI’s so far: 1. The broken one. 2. The clean white one. Standard 3. The green one. It can follow Samus through tight spaces 4. The Yellow one. Super fast 5. The cyan one. It appears to move slower, but it’s scanner freezes you as it gets closer 6. The Purple one. Abilities unknown 7. ???????
Purple could chase her underwater. They seem to give Samus some abilities. Could be the slide or cross bomb for green, speed booster for yellow, ice missiles for cyan, gravity suit for purple... That may be a stretch, but we'll see
Okay, this looks pretty slick, getting back to the roots of the Metroid franchise. Granted, the first half of the trailer seemed to just be going through the motions of describing the genre this franchise helped kick-off. But I'm here for it.
@@ederyahirleonflores9826 It the was voice of Samus' Mom from jolly Britania. "AMIIBO" she exclaimed! She was trying to warn us, only it is too late... The Amiibo have fully infiltrated our society. Cry havoc, dear chaps!!!
Ill never understand the "we dont know what else to do with the franchise excuse theyve used to keep f-zero shelved. Just take GX, remaster it and double up the course count and we gucci
@@rdowg So true! If they can do it so often with minimal improvements like with Mario Kart and Smash Brothers, why not some of the long-forgotten ones like F-Zero? A dream-list for me would be a new Star Tropics and while we’re wishing, Golden Sun, Eternal Darkness, and Advance Wars!
Ye, as much as I'm looking forward to it I'll not buy unless I can get special edition at retail price. Even if it means I'll have to postpone a purchase that would otherwise be day 1, Nintendo...
Right? I mean Valve let verified Steam account holders reserve a copy of the Steam Deck for the first like 3 days after announcement. Nintendo could easily have done the same. Or at least address this issue to the fans at all, instead of just pretending they don't know scalpers got them all.
The Chozo is the thing clawing at my mind. That's some serious business, especially if they turn out to be an enemy. I hope they are an ally, especially after reading the lore in Prime 1 (ruins)/Prime 3 (elysia)
Gosh freaking dangit this looks so incredible, I legitimately cannot wait. This will be my first Metroid game, and, despite knowing very little about the series, everything about this amazes me. So so so so so insanely hyped
get your self an emulator and play metroid fusion, it was the finale game(story based, until dread was announced) of the franchise. Really good, but pretty easy for a metroid 2d platformer game.
@@jacksonmayer7205 Easy? If you're talking about how linear it's I can give you that, but in terms of combat and bosses fusion is by far the hardest 2d metroid
Fun fact, Nintendo thought bounty hunter ment spaceman cowboy, and panicked when a studio asked to actually have her do bounty hunting and that studio had to explain the concept of a bounty hunter
At first I wasn't very convinced about the game... looking now, it DOES feels more like the Metroid that I've played and enjoyed. I am excited for this!
I was pretty frustrated by it when the E3 teaser for BOTW2 dropped cuz I really wanted a port of Windwaker or TP, but looking at it now, maybe they're giving room for Metroid to capture more of the Switch's userbase. The rest of the games coming out don't really fill the role that Metroid does, and imo only Zelda could compete with it. I'm hoping it does really good so they'll produce more 2D games this decade
Metroid has a small, but very dedicated fan base. I think Nintendo is trying to unlock the hidden potential of Metroid, considering that fact. I live in Japan, and many people here don't even know what Metroid is. Even people who have no interest in games here know Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, and Zelda. Not so with Metroid.
…hello, geniuses? It is ALSO the 35th anniversary of METROID. Gee, so Nintendo is giving attention to a long neglected franchise on its 35th instead of one of its flagship franchises it’s already given more than enough attention on the 25th and 30th anniversaries. How horrible! I’m also going to point out that I am first and foremost a Zelda fan. Only played 3 Metroid, and only beaten one. I’m interested in this game, but certainly not crazy about it. So don’t think calling me a Metroid fanboy or something will get any significant response.
Having just finished Metroid 2: Samus Returns, I cannot wait to see what they bring to the big screen using the mechanics perfected on the small screen. Samus Returns was amazing and I loved it. This looks fantastic.
They didn't return the Space Jump's blur effect, but with that flash it looks a lot cooler than in Samus Returns! And I LOVE how the Speed Booster and Shinespark looks!
Exploration and Dread, these were the key ingredients that made The Metroid series such an experience! Just replayed Super Metroid the other day for a friend, showing him all of the neat tricks and sequence breaks you can do. Can't wait for this game!
Samus: Wait, I can explain Link! Link: How are you getting your sequel before mine! Inkling: Oh please, my third game also isn’t coming out till next year! Fox: Oh boo hoo Inkling and Link, your games aren’t coming out till next year! At least be thankful you all are getting sequels on the switch! Pit: Wait, you guys are getting sequels?
I like how they included all this extra information about the collector's edition and the amiibo like they didn't sell out within five minutes of preorders going live. And that this happens every release they make but they still put them in the ads.
You know, I was a little worried about this game before, but now that I have seen this trailer, I am feeling more confident that this game will be good.
Yeah, it looked a bit ugly and lifeless in previous trailers but looks better here. Still feels more like a good indy game rather than a full price release though.
@@jamesmorgan3623 yeah you're right...they should add emotes and micro transactions to the game...THEN it will feel like a good ol' modern day release.🙄
@@wolfsbane501st3 I just think it seems unlikely this has needed the amount of resources that BOTW or Odyssey needed - but seems to be in the same price bracket.
The gameplay description made me realize this trailer isn't for me or anyone else very familiar with the series. We're kinda taking for granted that we already know what to expect but there's younger people who haven't played any of these games. This was for them, and that's okay. More Metroid fans means more people I can get hype with later on as we get a new game every 10 years.
I got stuck in Metroid 2 as a kid because I had no idea what the formula was and it was too much to ask to remember obstructions when I had other games set on a linear path. After learning more about how it works through videos and trying out more games, reaching the cycle of powering up and uncovering more has me hooked, so maybe that initial barrier is what has held the series back for a lot of people? The current marketing seems like a very good idea
The trailer may mention a lot of stuff that people who know the series already expect/know about, but the new stuff it DOES mention looks awesome (EMMIs, hinting towards a greater threat beyond what we know, etc.) The darker tone of the trailer is also pretty cool (That EMMI animation was brutal). Overall, super excited for this game, and glad that it might introduce more people to the series!
The special edition was available again yesterday but sold out again. I saw it available but wasn't bothered in getting it. What's the point of art cards and a book?
@@BrianDeBrain_ yeah. I want the Special Edition and amiibo pack, and I was watching carefully for the preorder pages to go up but then bam, they were already gone. The same thing happened with the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo, but a month after release I was able to get that at a regular price through retailers. Hoping for the same luck with these.
Only reason I haven't pre-ordered this yet, is because, the special edition sold out almost immediately when it went up. Holding out hope that I'll find one at a store that doesn't do pre-orders.
@@uhhh_adam If all physical edition copies sell out because I waited, I'll just buy it digitally. But, there's still some chance to get a SE physical copy.
You'll be doing yourself a huge favour. You don't have to play the previous games, apparently this entry is forgiving to newcomers, but naturally, I'm going to tell you to play the others before Dread xD
Only reason I haven't pre-ordered this already is because I can't seem to find any Special Editions. I'll still buy the standard on launch day if this doesn't change, but I will do so with a heavy heart.
I love how Old Lady Impa took a break from presiding over Kakariko Village to go do the voice work for this trailer.

This is the Metroid game we’ve needed for a long time. Finally going past the story of Fusion, a planet that isn’t SR388 and exploration that doesn’t have limited ability options. In the Trilogy and Other M, the screw attack and space jump had limited jumps anyway. I see this as an absolute win!
fusion was my first metroid and this was my exact thoughts fusion with way more exploration im in.
@@iampxet7252 My first Metroid game was Zero Mission on the GBAsp. I was a little too young to understand how to play that game but thankfully I've kept it with me throughout the years and let me just say that Nintendo needs to stop making cashgrab Mario games and focus on other important IPs such as this one.
@artagle_14 I grew up with super, m2 ,MF, and MzM and zero mission was my favorite growing up
Damn, Nintendo really wants Metroid to succeed dont they? I feel like this is the most marketing effort they’ve put to a game that isn’t Pokemon, Mario or Zelda in years.
They have every reason and right to.
Why not? Looks like they put a lot of work into this.
I wonder if it will do well. They did the same thing with Star Fox Zero and we all know what happened there.
Exactly
Animal crossing has gotten a lot of marketing effort, but i know what u mean tho

Damn right
@@realnintendonoah Lets just ignore that...
As someone who’s never played a Metroid game, the more I see of this the more I want to play this game. Looks sharp
Come and join the community! Give it a shot, or if you have Switch online as that already has Super Metroid. You can't go wrong with how good these games are.
Believe me, you’ll enjoy it
This is the first Metroid game I actually want. I missed out on Prime and I've only played Super Metroid for a few minutes in timed demos on Smash Bros.
This will be my first Metroid game too
Play Super Metroid on Switch first. You'll appreciate it more. It still holds up
With how much emphasis they put to show Samus' eyes and powerless she is on this new planet, I really hope they add a quick level or a full blown side quest where you play in her Zero Suit, like in Zero Mission, to really hammer in the theme of dread
Yeah haha, hammer in the theme yeah hahah that's why i'd like zero suit haha
Be nice if they allowed her access to past upgrades from game cube series. My understanding she supposedly lost her chozo suite in a silly crash.
At that point its just a horror game
@@1014p I thought it was damaged hence the less bulky and exposed wires look
@@kennethsatria6607 it was a nano printed circuitry suit. There is no wires to show. Although her ship was key to keeping it running.
Imma have to buy just to tell Nintendo I want more Metroid games dangit.
Likewise
Imma have to buy because this game is going to be amazing
And by buying it you also actually get a Metroid game, so that's a massive win win situation for you right there.
we’re already getting metroid prime 4
They made this because samus returns did well, thank you for your service
I'm an old school NES kid. The original was amazingly mindblowing. Literal game changer. I'm so stoked for this game I took the Monday and Tuesday after release so I can play 4 days straight.
I feel like even the phrase "game changer" is an understatement. That game invented one of the most popular sub-genres.
Cant wait to play it. Is gonna be awesome.
The sad part will be... you'll likely only need the 2 days to play and beat it. It'll prolly be beatable in the same time Samus Returns was... under 9 hours on a first exploratory run. Now, if we ever get the next Metroid Prime... Yeah, that's probably a 4 day event provided it ain't like Metroid Prime 3.
Epic win fellow wagie
That’s a good idea, I should do that too…

Shut up
It still blows my mind that we're finally pushing the story past Fusion. I cannot wait to play this game Day 1
=
I was searching through to see if someone else pointed this out. We're _finally_ post-Fusion. It's always really, really bothered me that every game since then was a prequel. I mean, if Nintendo didn't want to go forward with Samus' new look, they shouldn't have done it in the first place, no matter how great the game was. It looks like the visuals settled on a compromise because those shoulders are just too iconic, but I'll take it.
@@delcox8165 its not that they didnt want to, sakamoto who is one of the creators of metroid just couldn’t do what he wanted for dread with the hardware at the time, thats why its on switch now after 15 years of it being rumoured
@@meta9492 Seems like a canned excuse; what sort of things? We've had 360° aiming and all sorts of stuff since the Gamecube, it just didn't look this pretty.
@@delcox8165 Dread is about facing an enemy that forces you to run from, which happens to be the EMMI. The EMMI is designed to be the ultimate hunter against Samus, so the AI has to be peak level, meaning that it cannot have an exploitable AI like the SA-X or the Space Pirates from Zero Mission.
@@delcox8165 The thing is that a lot of developers gave up on releasing AAA 2d titles on consoles for a while. Believe it or not, Symphony of the night bombed big time, which is bonkers considering how well that game is.
So 2D was pushed to Handhelds, and the hardware on handhelds wasn't up to Sakamoto's liking for dread. Mainly I think the E.M.M.I AI was the culprit.
Luckily, indies saved the 2d scene and hopefully Nintendo shows these big AAA companies how to market and sell a 2D title with a AAA budget.
feels like nintendo is leaning into the horror aspect of metroid and that's awesome
They did it with the SA-X in Fusion and people liked it. Only makes sense to keep it going!
the hype is absolutely real this game looks incredible
No kidding. October can't get here fast enough! So Hyped!
Absolutely
I'm in my late 30s, barely get hyped about anything anymore and this is definitely exciting! The 10 year old me is ready to go on another adventure with Samus.
@Budgie Cat Because you don't know if the game is gonna be release or if gonna be down grade before launch.I don't know the developers of Dark Myth Wukong. With nintendo and mercury steam I have a reasonable expectation the game is gonna be delivered in a reasonable state .
@Budgie Cat It depends of what type of games you like. I m really looking for Shin Megami Tensei V too.

Wait, are you telling me that in this installment of the Metroid series, I can use a "morph ball" technique, with which I can "morph," as it were, into a sort of "ball," and roll around as such?
This is the first time in years Nintendo has marketed Metroid. They are finally trying to bring in new fans.
Some of the newer gens think megaman and metroid are the same.
wow such a "new" ability xD
They say it for those who don't know but I can't help but feel like "come on, who here didn't already know Samus could morph into a ball using the morph ball ability".
@@Sheryl510
Samus does kinda look like a grown up Roll with her own Megaman suit
This game seems to catch the atmosphere of Super Metroid and improves it with these hunting sequences. It looks very polished and beautiful. Can't wait.
@ProPlayaSlaya69 art style and gameplay wise it's possible to be on the 3DS.. yes I agree. However the quality of the animations and textures can't be done on a 3ds and I'd take this over a 3ds version anyday
@Zane Dube Probably because it has the most beautiful environments and high quality visuals of any first-party switch game so far? Plus the atmosphere is on point.
@Zane Dube rethorical question = statement
@ProPlayaSlaya69 Is this some kind of joke !?
3ds graphics looks like folded papers.
Don't envy with Metroid you Mario fanboy. Get out from here.
@Zane Dube because you don't know anything about Metroid.
Go and play Mario/Pokemon games you kid.
This thing is gonna be nuts in the hands of a speedrunner. I hope it comes the best selling game of the saga, so it can have the love it deserves from Nintendo and the fans. Long live Metroid!
It’s on the switch… it’s guaranteed to be the best selling metroid of all time.
@@KM-ye3ij Not 100% guaranteed given the series’ sales history, but I do believe you’re right. Especially since it’s on such a successful system like the Switch, and the marketing push has been pretty strong by Nintendo. Plus, the game looks very good and polished! It might bring in some crossover casual gamers for the holiday season, but I’m not sure how many people will hold out for Metroid Prime 4, since those gamers might prefer the 3D Metroid, you know?
I’d be shocked if it didn’t do a million by end of holidays, and 3 to 5 million after a year! Life-time sales, I’m hoping for at least 5 million!
Well...congrats! It surpassed Prime to become the best-selling Metroid game of all time!
This is going to be awesome. I can't wait. For the fans of Prime, your time is coming. For those fans of the 2D exploration, your time is here. For all fans of Metroid, your prayers will be or have been answered. Enjoy!
I love both styles. I'd be fine if they'd just give us prime trilogy on switch for the time being
I will, thanks man.

It was announced just about two months ago so that's normal.
@@redhotgalego Actually no, it was rumored years ago. About 15-19 years ago but was cancelled only to be brought back 3 months ago!

The hype just doesn't stop with this game. I love that new ice E.M.M.I that froze that enemy and shattered it. Also the updated Super Metroid music gave me chills I hope that's an in game OST and not just for the trailer. Now if I can just get my hands on that Special Edition.
Hmm they might be all sold out...I'm not sure if they will make more. Lucky for me in Australia it was easy to snag one. They're sold out here too though
I thought that the ice emmi was able to see things using the phantom cloak ability.
I bought my special edition through Amazon Japan.
Nintendo: "Hey, this special edition is pretty cool. You should get it."
Me: "Yeah. Can I actually buy it anywhere?"
Nintendo: "How should we know?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
XD omg i was thinking this too XD
I may have missed out on the special edition. But at least I got the Amibos
If they aren't going to restock, then they should have just kept quiet. At least I can get the amiibos.
They don't even put its price in the trailer like they know you can't buy it
Nintendo: Don't worry, the special edition is being restocked ri- the special edition is now sold out, sorry.
When Samus’s theme came in… genuine chills
Love how they're still advertising the Special Edition that sold out immediately. Thanks for rubbing it in Nintendo
Argos and Game are still selling pre orders of the special edition in the UK, so there must be stock around places
Our only hope is that they are planning a second batch of special editions?? 🤞🙏
My thoughts exactly..
Exactly, and I refuse to give scalpers $200, those scumbags. Not getting the game out of spite until they decide to release a second batch. Which will probably be never, knowing Nintendo

Coincidentally, today is the birth day of the late Gunpei Yokoi, producer of the original Metroid on NES, and creator of the Game and Watch system. RIP you magnificent genius
Breath of the Wild introduced Zelda to many new people, making new fans when it launched. I hope a similar effect happens with Dread.
The switch effect, fire emblem three houses did the same
I hope so too … I have seen tons of comments of people trying super Metroid because of dread and some even going through all of them because of Super and loving the series.
Let’s hope and enjoy the release!
@@GriffinX81 it’s already happened tho lol. There’s tons of new people trying Metroid because of Dread and the game isn’t even out. … streamers, UA-cam comments, Twitter etc…. 2 old Metroid games became the 1&2 top sellers on the Wii U and physical copies of SR sold out on Amazon as new people hunt for ways to try Metroid in anticipation .
Will it sell like BOTW … no but it has definitely brought a ton of attention to Metroid and tons of new people trying a 20 year old game and loving it. Like BOTW it will most likely be the best seller of the franchise.
@@GriffinX81 Metroid made a genre, but I see your point
Botw definitely introduced me to zelda and this will also be my first metroid game but im only buyin it to add to my switch collection lol I doubt it will have the same effect like botw but it will definitely bring in new gamers
I havent played a single metroid game. This game looks amazing! Action, adventure, suspense, horror. The being chased by crazy robots that skulk around really fast is what's selling me. 😃
Same I just started playing super Metroid and it’s fun thank you switch online
Can't beat Metroid 3D on the Wii. Yes, you heard me right, the Wii. It's by far the best Metroid game. And Resident Evil 4 on the Wii is the best iteration of that game too!
My first Metroid game was Fusion. I could never beat the final boss. I'm a noob. I love Prime for the music especially, but aliens don't exist. SPACE THEREFORE ALIENS is as dumb as RAINBOWS THEREFORE LEPRECHAUNS.
Insane alien believers actually argue that the more evidence of absence of aliens there is (more empty space), the more likely aliens exist. Since when is more of a failure more of a success?
Don’t play Metroid Prime or it’s sequels until playing dread and super Metroid(zero mission if you can find it). Metroid Prime is one of the top 10 greatest games ever made, and it’ll spoil you. Despite being for the Super Nintendo, super Metroid holds up to this day. It’s wild how many SNES games can claim that. Oh and play Metroid Prime in order(prime, echoes, corruption) the story will make more sense.
@@Cyberdyne_research how about prime remastered? did they change something on it?
So hyped for this game!
I love how Mercury Steam succeeds at making Samus look badass, like at 3:05 where she doesn't even flinch by Kraid or the mini cutscenes or her animations. It just keep getting better and better. Also Speed Booster + Shinespark is back!
Yassss queen slay
Not even not flinching, but her immediate reaction is just, charge beam
Mercury Steam did a much better job at that than Tecmo (Other M) for sure.
This is so 90's! Love the way Nintendo promotes the game! I feel like a kid again.
This is one of the best feelings man im so happy metroid fans can feel like this again
if this was from the 90's, this trailer would have been a cheesy skit
which would have been fine by me :3
The narrator sounds like she's reading me a bedtime story and I love it
I wasn't planning on buying this day one, but these trailers have changed my mind.
Time to show Nintendo that we want more Metroid games.
it looks like a bloody mobile game
@@glenferrieroadhawthorn The Switch is a mobile console, so yes.
If you guys could restock the special edition… that would be really great.
Really? Here in my xountry, there is still a lot of stock though it is gonna run out soon.

I have chills right now I'm so excited for this game and definitely can't wait to hear the music
All EMMI’s so far:
1. The broken one.
2. The clean white one. Standard
3. The green one. It can follow Samus through tight spaces
4. The Yellow one. Super fast
5. The cyan one. It appears to move slower, but it’s scanner freezes you as it gets closer
6. The Purple one. Abilities unknown
7. ???????
Purple could chase her underwater. They seem to give Samus some abilities. Could be the slide or cross bomb for green, speed booster for yellow, ice missiles for cyan, gravity suit for purple...
That may be a stretch, but we'll see
@@haariel1 Oh that’s a good guess! We’ll see
The cyan one be sus :P
I'm going to assume the last one is red. Probably the most aggressive
I hope there's a friendly one too
"Metroid Dread Special Edition now available to pre-order"
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
😂😂😂
Should be instead "...now being scalped online"
Now sold out
Nintendo, you don't understand how badly I need this game.
Okay, this looks pretty slick, getting back to the roots of the Metroid franchise.
Granted, the first half of the trailer seemed to just be going through the motions of describing the genre this franchise helped kick-off. But I'm here for it.
This game is going to usher in some of the best years of Metroid. I'm sure of it!
Here's hoping! Metroid really deserves it!

The real Dread is trying to get those Special editions & amiibo.
A dream come true.
Also, restock the special edition and make it so scalpers can't immediately grab the entire stock please
Ye, as much as I'm looking forward to it I'll not buy unless I can get special edition at retail price. Even if it means I'll have to postpone a purchase that would otherwise be day 1, Nintendo...
Right?
I mean Valve let verified Steam account holders reserve a copy of the Steam Deck for the first like 3 days after announcement. Nintendo could easily have done the same. Or at least address this issue to the fans at all, instead of just pretending they don't know scalpers got them all.
The EMMI look like pretty scary enemies I can imagine myself going “no no no get away bye bye” if I saw one
The Chozo is the thing clawing at my mind. That's some serious business, especially if they turn out to be an enemy. I hope they are an ally, especially after reading the lore in Prime 1 (ruins)/Prime 3 (elysia)
Finally seeing a real living chozo after all these years makes me gush with excitement and pure joy. I cannot wait for this game.
Gosh freaking dangit this looks so incredible, I legitimately cannot wait. This will be my first Metroid game, and, despite knowing very little about the series, everything about this amazes me. So so so so so insanely hyped
Really glad to hear that!
Welcome to the club...the metroid series is awesome..also the SNES Super Metroid still holds up today
get your self an emulator and play metroid fusion, it was the finale game(story based, until dread was announced) of the franchise. Really good, but pretty easy for a metroid 2d platformer game.
Try metroid om snes too
@@jacksonmayer7205 Easy? If you're talking about how linear it's I can give you that, but in terms of combat and bosses fusion is by far the hardest 2d metroid
Fun fact, Nintendo thought bounty hunter ment spaceman cowboy, and panicked when a studio asked to actually have her do bounty hunting and that studio had to explain the concept of a bounty hunter
At first I wasn't very convinced about the game... looking now, it DOES feels more like the Metroid that I've played and enjoyed. I am excited for this!
Nintendo is giving more attention to a new Metroid game than to the 35th anniversary of Zelda. What a world we live in now!
I was pretty frustrated by it when the E3 teaser for BOTW2 dropped cuz I really wanted a port of Windwaker or TP, but looking at it now, maybe they're giving room for Metroid to capture more of the Switch's userbase. The rest of the games coming out don't really fill the role that Metroid does, and imo only Zelda could compete with it. I'm hoping it does really good so they'll produce more 2D games this decade
Metroid has a small, but very dedicated fan base. I think Nintendo is trying to unlock the hidden potential of Metroid, considering that fact. I live in Japan, and many people here don't even know what Metroid is. Even people who have no interest in games here know Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, and Zelda. Not so with Metroid.
…hello, geniuses? It is ALSO the 35th anniversary of METROID. Gee, so Nintendo is giving attention to a long neglected franchise on its 35th instead of one of its flagship franchises it’s already given more than enough attention on the 25th and 30th anniversaries. How horrible!
I’m also going to point out that I am first and foremost a Zelda fan. Only played 3 Metroid, and only beaten one. I’m interested in this game, but certainly not crazy about it. So don’t think calling me a Metroid fanboy or something will get any significant response.

That Metroid title theme made me so nostalgic. Can't wait for this game.
Strangely, I get more nostalgic by space warrior
Having just finished Metroid 2: Samus Returns, I cannot wait to see what they bring to the big screen using the mechanics perfected on the small screen. Samus Returns was amazing and I loved it. This looks fantastic.
They didn't return the Space Jump's blur effect, but with that flash it looks a lot cooler than in Samus Returns!
And I LOVE how the Speed Booster and Shinespark looks!
This game is looking absolutely amazing. A true must have! Not only will it be well received but should shed new light on the rest of the franchise!
Exploration and Dread, these were the key ingredients that made The Metroid series such an experience! Just replayed Super Metroid the other day for a friend, showing him all of the neat tricks and sequence breaks you can do. Can't wait for this game!
Samus: Wait, I can explain Link!
Link: How are you getting your sequel before mine!
Inkling: Oh please, my third game also isn’t coming out till next year!
Fox: Oh boo hoo Inkling and Link, your games aren’t coming out till next year! At least be thankful you all are getting sequels on the switch!
Pit: Wait, you guys are getting sequels?
And Captain falcon has just given up
I like how they included all this extra information about the collector's edition and the amiibo like they didn't sell out within five minutes of preorders going live. And that this happens every release they make but they still put them in the ads.
You know, I was a little worried about this game before, but now that I have seen this trailer, I am feeling more confident that this game will be good.
And that's why trailers like this are important no matter how "spoilers" enfranchised people may feel it is
Yeah, it looked a bit ugly and lifeless in previous trailers but looks better here. Still feels more like a good indy game rather than a full price release though.
@@jamesmorgan3623 lmao I’d pay far more for this than most AAA games
@@jamesmorgan3623 yeah you're right...they should add emotes and micro transactions to the game...THEN it will feel like a good ol' modern day release.🙄
@@wolfsbane501st3 I just think it seems unlikely this has needed the amount of resources that BOTW or Odyssey needed - but seems to be in the same price bracket.
This game really looks like it could be one of the best Nintendo games of all time, no cap
The gameplay description made me realize this trailer isn't for me or anyone else very familiar with the series. We're kinda taking for granted that we already know what to expect but there's younger people who haven't played any of these games. This was for them, and that's okay. More Metroid fans means more people I can get hype with later on as we get a new game every 10 years.
I got stuck in Metroid 2 as a kid because I had no idea what the formula was and it was too much to ask to remember obstructions when I had other games set on a linear path. After learning more about how it works through videos and trying out more games, reaching the cycle of powering up and uncovering more has me hooked, so maybe that initial barrier is what has held the series back for a lot of people? The current marketing seems like a very good idea
I found super metroid to hard but recently played it on the switch still hard but got futher than i did still cant complete it!
Lol
Play fusion and zero mission to get an idea what you are in for
The trailer may mention a lot of stuff that people who know the series already expect/know about, but the new stuff it DOES mention looks awesome (EMMIs, hinting towards a greater threat beyond what we know, etc.) The darker tone of the trailer is also pretty cool (That EMMI animation was brutal). Overall, super excited for this game, and glad that it might introduce more people to the series!
“Plus a special edition…” which is difficult to get
“And new Amiibos…” which is ALSO difficult to get 😩😩
They all sold out everywhere within a few minutes after they became available, so the only way to get them is from scalpers at the moment. :|
The special edition was available again yesterday but sold out again.
I saw it available but wasn't bothered in getting it. What's the point of art cards and a book?
@@BrianDeBrain_ yeah. I want the Special Edition and amiibo pack, and I was watching carefully for the preorder pages to go up but then bam, they were already gone. The same thing happened with the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo, but a month after release I was able to get that at a regular price through retailers. Hoping for the same luck with these.
@@williamlavagna1096 What's the point of anything? I guess everyone likes different things.
@@williamlavagna1096 where was it available if you don't mind?
Only reason I haven't pre-ordered this yet, is because, the special edition sold out almost immediately when it went up. Holding out hope that I'll find one at a store that doesn't do pre-orders.
Noooooo I was just like “hmm I’d buy it!”
@@uhhh_adam If all physical edition copies sell out because I waited, I'll just buy it digitally. But, there's still some chance to get a SE physical copy.
@@Psychof1st I’m doing the same thing bro. Good luck in finding one!
@@vexmau5 You too, man!
Pissed me off too fam
I’m not one for Metroid games but I think I might actually get this
Play zero mission or super metroid if you can highly recommend zero mission out of the two
Better late than never, man. I hope you enjoy it.
The Metroid community thanks you for the support 🙏
One of us! One of us!
You'll be doing yourself a huge favour. You don't have to play the previous games, apparently this entry is forgiving to newcomers, but naturally, I'm going to tell you to play the others before Dread xD
4:45 This is the most badass way to say "Amiibo"
Damn, Samus' eyelashes slap
Omg, I'm hyped, this game looks like it's going to expand the lore we have
One would hope so
I hope they restock the Amiibo and special bundle of the game 😭
I love the art style a lot. Y’all did what needed to be done
Shut up
0:55 I just got chills from that Super Metroid intro theme
"Morph into a ball with the morph ball." This tickled me for some reason.
Same lol, thought I'd see this comment higher up... Incredible script writing 😂
I mean who would have thought a morphball is there to morph into a ball? Just crazy! :D
Typical bad translations
Only reason I haven't pre-ordered this already is because I can't seem to find any Special Editions.
I'll still buy the standard on launch day if this doesn't change, but I will do so with a heavy heart.
yeah don't hold your breath on that one we lost that opportunity with hours of announcement
At this point the scalpers already got their hands in all the stock of the first wave. Hopefully a new wave of special editions will arrive soon.
Just wait until you can get a special edition. You won't regret it when you're holding that steelbook.
Yea I plan to wait as well an hope i come across one. Even if it means not buying metroid dread the day it comes out
I seen one that comes with a metroid mug 😅
No matter how many times I watch this trailer it always makes me laugh the way the narrator lady says “amiibo” . She’s cool! 😎
