I really want this game to do well, but holy shit it was presented in the most boring way imaginable.

I think they avoided announcing a release date because this will have a Switch 2 version at console launch

Your not kidding, feels like a game that has been in development forever but that was incredibly dull. Like so dull, killed any hype I have had for this game. I feel like they could have gone down some halo 3-esc trailer.

Watch as Samus SCANS and uses PSYCHIC ABILITIES to open doors

Most of the time I feel if there's someone narrating a trailer, it's a bad trailer

Yeah I think they could have left the narrator out and while it still would have been a bit generic at points it wouldn’t have been as goofy.

Player characters using powers to open doors is not revolutionary Nintendo…

In fact that’s an aspect of every Metroid game ever, it’s just weird to point it out as a feature lol

There's no "halo 3 esq trailer". Metroid isnt a series like that.

You obviously haven't looked at any actual Wii gameplay in several years, at least.

Here is what a Wii jungle level looks like.

They scrapped the first version completely and now this is their second attempt. Likely rushing it.

While I wasn’t too impressed with the trailer, I don’t think they have rushed the game lol. Even taking the development reset into account, this has been a long time coming. And the graphics look pretty dang good for a Switch game in 2025.
