*Experiment status report update. Metroid Project "Dread" is nearing the final stages of completion.*
If I recall, that easter egg in Metroid Prime 3 was an accident. Is that correct?
@@Mr.GameCrazy ye sir
Vaciiilo
lets backtrack chec- and see
Maybe it was in universe
lol
Why no one is talking about how beautiful the Fusion Suit looks in that "prologue" cutscene?
My thoughts exactly. It looks so sick. In Metroid Prime, it just looked like latex, but here it actually looks like... well, I don't know how to describe it... It just looks incredible. Easily one of my favorite suits in the series, so it's a huge joy to see it rendered that beautifully
I love how they use those prologue cutscenes! straight to the point and gets you right to the gameplay like super or samus returns
I hope we can wear it in this game. It'd be awesome to have the option of changing suits. The Metroid Fusion suit has been my favorite of Samus for a long time.
1:46 o_o
@@Insert_Bland_Name_Here "In metroid prime, it just looked like latex" lmao, you made me laugh ´til left me with no pulmons 😂
I love how he ignores Other M as much as we do.
I actually like other m but Im so hyped for dread, its been 15 years since it was cancelled.
@@kurokoro Same thing about Other M. The gameplay was really good and I liked how they explored Samus' character, but the overall story was dumb and anticlimactic.
Dread looks amazing!
Also, Other M was more of a spinoff/interquel than a numbered entry.
I still enjoy it and hey later we got samus returns which for me is the perfect formula of retroroid, nothing against the prime games but Ill stick to sidescrolling where I can see samus and not just her arm canon.
the gameplay was great but the story and what they did to samus character was awful
Dread!!! I remember the days when it was rumored to be in development and it just faded away... So stoked about it coming out!!
Mercury Steam: Fine, I'll do it myself.
Before Metroid Prime, Metroid was the best in 2D, so there's no reason for this to be not good.
Every 2D Metroid game have been fantastic, and with Metroid: Other M and Federation Force being the only subpar entries in the series, I have high hopes for this one! Samus Returns was excellent, and I'm looking forward to MercurySteam's innovations for the series being further developed!

It’s been 14 years since this game was teased in Prime 3, that’s insane
This looks like a lot of fun, cannot wait!
having just replayed super metroid...I am SO down for this. also I could listen to him talk all day long
Metroid 5 blew my goddamn mind thank you Nintendo!
Nintendo really respect their game designers that they are not forced to do a sequel without ideas that are “good enough”
This one reveal makes up for 2020 thank you Nintendo
I think a lot of us would like to forget about last year
The hole "emmi" thing kinda reminds me of that zero suit part on metroid zero mission
Ahhhh! It’s 2D! I’ve been waiting 19 years for this!!!!
Interesting design choice of her armor, and it looks like they brought back my beloved fusion suit?!?!? Really digging the horror aspect of running from EMMI, it looks like they expanded on the experience of running from SA-X. If this is Metroid 5, I wonder how the story will continue? Does end of a story arc mean that we won't see anything from Adam, or any Metroids? Either way, I'm open to it!
The made her suit a little more realistic to his body proportions
Big thanks to Mercury Steam! They killed it with the Metroid 2 remake and this looks like straight FIRE. I never thought we’d actually get Metroid Dread. I’m hyped AF!
Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW /ˈmɪɡtaʊ/; em português: Homens seguindo seu próprio caminho)))))
After the trailer for Metroid 5 “Dread” it left me with many questions. I can get behind (Metroid 5 AKA “Dread”) and I get it takes place directly after fusion, but that doesn’t Mean I’m looking forward to Adam telling me every 2 seconds where I need to go and what I need to be doing, and I really hope there’s no navigation room every 5 seconds. I hope it takes a chapter out of Super Metroids book. Super never held your hand, it never made the game easy, yet it’s stood the test of time, still holds up to today, and if you became good enough at it you could beat the bosses in any order with almost no upgrades. Also “Dread” was a plan the space Pirates were creating back in Metroid Prime 3 “Project Dread”. That being said, Did the GF revise the space Pirates Project Dread and implement it in the “E. M. M. I.” Robots to try and capture Samus so they can take the Metroid, Chozo, and X DNA that she has been infused with? We know they already tried cloning the Pirates once before, about the robots, I feel like after Samus blew up the BSL station into the planet SR388, wiping out all the X and remaining Metroids that the GF would use the Pirates plan and try and build an SA-X type of robot that is controllable for only them, one that’s only objective would be to capture Samus “dead or alive”, to extract any DNA needed. Also I’m excited to see a Chozo in this game, however because it’s Nintendo I’m worried the Chozo we see in the trailer might not be as it seems, is it one of the evil renegade Chozos from the ending of Samus returns, or even possibly an X-Chozo? We know that the X can mimic Samus and the research station Scientists, keeping memories the original host carried, so why not a Chozo. They were on SR388 long enough to realize the X were a threat, and even created an evolving life form that would feed on a specific parasite. Who says the Chozo were never copied or killed by the X. I could go on for hours about this because I have so many questions, but I guess we’ll see in October.

When I saw Metroid 5 I was in awe, then when they announced it was Metroid Dread. I was just couldn't believe it. It's finally here and it looks great.
better than at its core it makes u feel like it metroi-
its like their secondary hype before the truly one were waiting but dam didnt expect this
play the 2d fan made one quite surprising
sadly it got takedown
@@BroadcastingCN well yeah, guess you've never played 2d metroid games huh.
@@fractalfalco3964 I do zero mission but not so much cos didnt complete both super and nes one
don forget gameboy one tru classic
Ngl this was actually one of the Direct's best surprises, I wasn't aware of the rumors and I love the horror aesthetic
Same. The robots, known for now only as the E.M.M.I, looks like SA-X on Phazon
There was a lot of rumors back in the 3ds days, actually
The EMMI sections look like the fusion sections with ur doppelgänger
it has soma vibe
This announcement was just amazing, the only thing that disappointed me was that they didn’t acknowledge that they put an Easter egg in Metroid prime 3 that revered to them working on this game.
Seeing all the Fusion imagery from the Prologue is so cool!! This game looks and sounds like it’s going to be fantastic! I cannot wait!!
RIGHT!?
1:46 !!
Yeah, and I love how they made the Fusion Suit all fiber-y. Kinda like how the new suit looks like.
The kid in me is freaking out 😁😁😁🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The Fusion suit looks so freaking cool in that picture
I almost died when I saw the words Dread, this is the gamer equivalent to finding out big foot is real.
Explain please. I have been out of gaming world for a while
@@zenu8830
Metroid 5 (Dread) was a sequel to Metroid 4 Fusion for the DS, work of it has been hinted at in Metroid Prime 3 in 2008 but due to trouble with hardware they cancelled it only to resurface today.
@@haikle5966 oh thanks
@@haikle5966 Fusion GBA
@@TheHardStyleLife
Dread was a sequel for the DS is what I meant to say, saying Dread is a sequel to Fusion on GBA for DS doesnt sound right to me.
To summarize the development of this game: “I’m limited by the technology of my time”
That’s basically why Metroid 1 was so ehhhhh in comparison to super
See also: Final Fantasy XV
@@tahamohammad8842 To be fair, metroid 1 was really well made for an NES game, but yeah, Super blew it out of the water.
A lot of SNES games in general were basically "what we wanted to make on the NES but couldn't"
The game doesn't really look that good man. Visually its behind quite a bit. If they were limited by "technology" it was Nintendo's odd controller design. Pretty sure Sakamoto actually made a comment about how they couldn't see making a 3d Metroid (During Prime's development) on the 64 after holding the controller... XD
@@skurblord3401 Technology is not all about graphics.
If they can recreate that same feeling we got from the SA-X from fusion, then we could have something good
I really want to know if the game will have sequence breaks where a skilled player can do things out of order. I'd love there to be possible routes available to those who can successfully elude the robots.
This statement is exactly what I was thinking
The way it looks to me is that you can sequence break if you manage to stealth your way past the security droids. When Samus is caught in the trailer, it shows doors that get locked.
Fusion seems to be Mercury-Steam's favorite game in the series. They actually approached Nintendo with an offer to remake that game before Nintendo asked them to remake Metroid 2 instead. I have little doubt that they really love Fusion and have poured their passion into emulating the horror from that game into this one.
Scariest thing ever in Metroid history. But also very funny when it doesn't know what to do, until it almost insta kills you.
I love how even they had to admit they slept on this series for 19 years.
Lets support all we can
And yes ladies and gentlemen
Franchise continuation
we thought it end?
Alright ladies and gentlemen we got our Metroid announcement, it is time to support the franchise (or continuing to support it).

Samus returns was remade very well by them.
They do amazing work if given the proper guidance. They obviously have amazing artists, designers and programmers but it feels like they need someone like Sakamoto to guide them in the right direction otherwise we end up with garbage like their Castlevania games.

@@OkamiPrincess15 true
Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an EMMI RIDLEY in this game.
(Edit: THANK GOODNESS RIDLEY ISN’T IN THIS!!!)
Same. Considering that the Galactic Federation is capable of making bioweapons, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they made and have an E.M.M.I. Ridley hidden in the backlogs
E.M.M.I Ridley: *chases Samus
Samus: *slides through small gap
Samus: Phew! I'm safe.
E.M.M.I Ridley: *SMASHES THROUGH THE THICK WALL ABOVE GAP*
Like the one on zero mission at the end?
@@gajhiracristhianjimenez2048 Similar but even more smart and menacing would be an awesome boss fight.
If they are going to put ridley in the game, they will do that for sure, because it wouldn't make sense chronologically otherways. The game is set after Metroid Fusion, when Ridley was already dead and his corpse was eaten by an x-parasyte
Metroid Dread was always that game all of us hardcore Metroid fans dreamed about and wished for, and the fact that not only are they making a Metroid 5 but it's actually derived from the original Metroid Dread vision from back in the day is incredible. Never thought one of the most legendary rumors in Nintendo history would become a reality.
It truly is a dream come true!

Remember guys, this game was rumored back during the Nintendo DS and Wii days.....
Well it was first revealed on an internal Nintendo software list in 2005 during the Gamecube, GBA, DS days, so even further back than Wii
I think it was even before that.
@@Jack_MxM dang i didn't even know that...
THere's hope for Pikmin 4 :D
The SA-X from fusion caused ptsd and dread. Now an entire game being stalked by powerful enemies? Take my money
yes it seems so this game will be hard and more powerful enemies yes
For sure
For real- for some reason when I was about 10 years old the SA-X encounters gave me literal mild panic attacks. This is a welcomed feature that sticks out among Nintendo’s more happy go lucky titles.
veteran: sure
That would be such a cool element! Like Samus can't even recover from her trauma bc this EMMI unit is on her tail

It's quite poetic that the mechanical-themed Metroid wasn't able to flourish until IRL technology could, too.
Curse you, Boston Dynamics!
It did "flourish". Remember Super Metroid?
Thats just what he said. They kept canceling it because they didn't think they would make money on it. Thats mostly it, I'm sure.
@@Jbayz No that's not what he's saying. So if the classic Metroid games (part 1 and 2) only flourished until irl tech did, it would mean 1. That they didn't flourish during that period of time even though irl tech very much existed
2. That there was other Metroid games before the first one on nes.
Well we had robots in fusion and it was pretty cool. They just wanted more money
I'd never think in a billion years metroid dread would be coming out.

It's poetic. It's a direct reference to Alien, which itself was the original inspiration for Metroid.
@@TohnoEn Dread *FEELS* like Alien and I like that very much
If you see it, hide. If it sees you, just run.
Is your objective clear?
Yes No
It's good to know that the game didn't actually take 19 years to make; rather, Sakamoto and Team didn't want to explore the concept until they were confident that the hardware available could accurate convey their vision of Metroid Dread, which I commend as an artist myself, especially compared to the annual release of underdeveloped Pokemon games.
Sakamoto was emphasizing the refined combat system implemented in part with MercurySteam's Samus Returns. It could be that Samus Returns was a blueprint for the structure of Metroid Dread.
I haven't played Metroid, but I have played Hollow Knight, which I loved. This game fits that "environmental storytelling", creepy aesthetic.
Maybe I'm getting my hopes up, but I'm really excited for this.
Jsjsjsjs fake
Games like Hollow Knight were inspired by Metroid and CastleVania. Metroid Dread is being made by MercurySteam, who has made both modern CastleVania and Metroid games, so all sign point towards a new highpoint for the genre
PR talk. Don't be so gullible. That said, HYPE
@@dip_trippy That's not PR talk, at least on Sakamoto's end. When he said the "technology wasn't there," he's not saying that they didn't have good enough hardware to make another 2D Metroid. Obviously prior handheld systems were capable enough. His issue was trying to create one with the concept he had in mind all along: the E.M.M.I.
The E.M.M.I. use pretty sophisticated AI to chase the player down, and that requires quite a bit of the CPU. SA-X's chase sequences were pretty scripted, as the SA-X itself, as an AI, is pretty dumb. Hence, they only put you in situations where you were either just waiting for it to leave, or being chased from right to left.
This game has you being chased by the E.M.M.I. robots in larger, open areas, and the E.M.M.I. can easily track you down, and intelligently reorient themselves when you try to fool them. This is clearly something that was intended way back on the DS, but I take it that the prototype they created didn't have a smart enough AI, so it wasn't convincing enough to be scary.
So how did you like it

@@TerraKnight27 Yep. It was Prime 3.
@Ethan hagen yup it was scrapped right before Other M
Retro Studios confirmed that this line had nothing to do with "Metroid Dread". It was just an unfortunate word choice
The fact that they kept the name Dread, a name for a game that was rumoured a decade and a half ago (a rumour that was confirmed real here), is really cool, and strangely satisfying in a way. Like it finally came full circle.
Also love that they’re re-exploring the horror elements of Metroid Fusion. Being hunted by the SA-X was always the best part of that game, and the lonely horror feel, although never overt, is kind of an underappreciated element of all Metroid games, imo. So it’s kind of reassuring that the devs seem to get that, and putting a focus on it rather than abandoning it for pure action (which other devs have done before...).
If they actually do a remake of Fusion I’d be very happy to play it and if they have the SA-X hunting you, that would be even better just like the EMMI
Dread was never a rumor, they talked about it openly many times.
@@rifasclub But not in name, did they? I seem to recall they mentioned having worked on a cancelled 2D Metroid before, but the name Metroid Dread I only recall from an old IGN report from the mid 2000’s. My mind is admitedly a bit fuzzy on that; it’s been quite a while after all.

I definitely want a development history of Prime 4 as well when it comes out. These kinds of games really deserve an art book and concept art being released, you know? Like, the concept work Android Joines did on Prime 1 was so interesting that it could be it's own catalog all on it's own, but an art book with development, level design, and scrapped idea WIPs would be absolutely stellar.

This looks to be taking *many* cues from Fusion, especially in the tone, and I am all for that!!
Metroid has always been about Isolation and Exploration. That's the core elements and DNA of the series.
In terms of Isolation, Fusion is by far the most atmospheric and clostrophobic one, but the game was constantly assisting us so it lacked exploration.
For DREAD, devs seem to have taken the atmosphere from Fusion which is half of what it requiers to have a good Metroid game. The exploration part will be discovered once we play the game.
Really promising though.

He just said it here. Yeah it was scrapped but the development wasn’t ready due to the technology so it was put in a small document article in Metroid Prime 3 about “Dread”
This person doesn't watch videos. lol
@@cristianflores1588 I probably did not listen or understood well. My apologies. But still, that is cool they give us a long gone project to make us wait for the new Prime.
I was 4 years old when my parents offered me a gba sp with metroid fusion, i was so scared of that game it took me years to complete it, and its still my favorite. I can't believe this is happening!!
I never beat any boss in fusion but still trying to beat it till today.. im not good with any platformer games but still it is my favorite genre other than RPG/Shooter.. after Dread revealed, im got my hand on Samus Return and so far it good to play.. still in early level thou.
I feel this to my soul
Even the white suit was real, I remember the fan art of dread.
Dude, Dread is actually happening. It looks so good
Best girl back in action!
@@outworld855 SHUT UP
tomboy supremacy has returned
Almost completed the game by now. THANK YOU Yoshio Sakamoto.
Hearing that this game will "complete the story arc" involving Samus and the baby Metroid she found has me intrigued, not just for Dread's story, but also the series beyond that point... But look at me, I finally get a story that continues from Fusion, and I'm already thinking about the next game after that. I need to keep it together; I'm SO looking forward to playing Metroid Dread!
There are many possibilities:
Samus fighting against the Galactic Federation's corruption.
An interstellar war.
Something to do with the hunters from Prime Hunters.
@@Aego384 OOOH Prime Hunters Was my first Metroid game, so I would absolutely love something regarding the Hunters from it!
@@jellycore1316 I loved the PvP in MPH. I can only imagine what Nintendo can create on stronger hardware.
*Sorry if the text is too long, but thought i could share this to you*
I was afraid that the only remanants of metroids, or more exactly, "The baby", are on Samus´s DNA now. But since I finished Metroid Fusion a thing still worried me until now: the GF would make the "definitive being", capable of anilyzing data, transforming itself by any adaptation possible or any host/DNA absorption, for any military use. An Idea very temptating, knowing that, if the X parasite gets out of control again, it can be reduced to almost zero by Metroids, and why not, evolved Omega metroids (if the X parasite absorbs a enemy that uses Ice, the weak point of the metroid). If the GF would "refine" the metroids clones after seeing that Samus defeated the Omega Metroid on BSL was weak to ice, they would make that concept true. But now, with robots almost indestructibles for the only known being that´s inmune to the X parasite (samus), it´s not important for the GF the metroids. They just need to replicate what they did with the metroid vaccine on Samus, but with EMMIs, that´s the reason why Samus is being pursued by them. I still don´t know what is going to happen with the Chozo, but the planet ZDR would be important for the cultive of the X parasite.
Metroid Dread is the true Samus returns!
I’m gonna crack into a new Switch AND a new Metroid game on the same day?! Not even my wife will see me on October 8th.
🤣
This is the second new Metroid title to be revealed and released since Prime 4 was revealed.
I still think they're missing out big time by not revisiting multiplayer potential like they set up in Metroid Hunters for the Nintendo DS.
@@jdylanschwartz Are they really? Nintendo doesn't do unimaginative stuff, sure they could do Metroid Call of Duty and that's it, but what difference would it have between every other FPS besides aesthethics?
Nintendo just doesn't do that.
@@DrNaviMD Have you played it? Minus tanks and supports, it felt way more Overwatch-y to me than Call of Duty or typical FPSes. Had like 30 multiplayer maps, 7 different hunters I think... it was a fun range of strategies, and Nintendo is about as gimmicky as they come in an enjoyable way (psst... Mario, etc, lol). I respect the argument that maybe it wouldn't be original, but I still think (older?) fans would buy it if it had enough quality to offer replay value.
@@jdylanschwartz I'm sure that metroid prime 4 will have some form of pvp multiplayer, it'll give a reason to pay for Nintendo switch online.
@@xXSupahXFlyXx Not make or break for me, either way, I am an old fart who plays 1-P games LOL but yes, absolutely.
I'm glad to see Sakamoto still around! To those who doesn't know him, he worked since the very first Metroid game alongside Gunpei Yokoi team and was the director of Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. Since then he has been the producer and supervisor of all MEtroid games.
Happy to see he's working again with MercuryStream to deliver this project at least!
rip gunpei yokoi
just finished the game, and i gotta say something... THANK YOU NINTENDO; AND THANK YOU OFC MERCURY STEAM!! LOVED THE GAME; WORTH THE WAIT 100%!!!!!
All I ever wanted since Fusion was Metroid 5. I never thought I'd finally see this day, I was sure covid would kill me first!
Legends Arceus. Breath of the Wild 2. And, now, Metroid 5. 2022 is gonna be *LIT!!!!*
I like the nerve wracking direction they've chosen to take in this game. It's not too often games are too scary on Nintendo systems.
And considering how both Fusion and Eternal Darkness (let's not think of what happened with the devs of that lovecraft inspired amazing horror game) were AMAZING, yeah, when Nintendo want's to spook you in a game, you're gonna get spooked! and this is BEFORE I bring up the Psychokinetic alien eldritch horror that is Giygas from Earthbound!
I think that it is so cool that we finally know that Metroid Dread was an actual project that was in development in the mid 2000s, and that they came back to it and are finally making it! Mother 3 was the latest example that I can think of where that happened.
We need it on the eshop though still in America, Mother 3!
Happy Metroid Day! 🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A 2D Metroid is what I longed for! I respect the Prime fans, but this is pure metroid in my eyes.
Im happy we're getting both flavors of games, hopefully we'll get more Prime 4 news later this year. I'm wondering if they're going to plan out any links to Dread with it.
The Metroid series will definitely be made in both 3D and 2D in the future. Also, notice Sakamoto has no involvement in the Metroid Prime games. It goes to show you he has no interest doing a 3D Metroid game.
@@texanman7191 As far as I know, he's one of the last defenders of 2D at Nintendo nowadays
The fact the Federation itself is chasing Samus makes so much sense after the fact that she not only blew one of their stations, but she has become half Metroid herself and has come in contact with the X virus
She's a human, chozo, and Metroid hybrid.
Hope Weyland-Yutani doesn't hear about her.
From what I understood the Federation isn't actually chasing her. They just found out about the fact that the x parasites are still alive in a remote planet (ZDR) and send the EMMI, that are research robots, to investigate, but they somehow go rogue. So the federation is forced to send the only person capable of stopping once and for all the x parasites: Samus Aran.
But we obviously don't know every little detail of the story, like what will Adam's purpose be in this game, knowing that his reason for existing is to support Samus in the exploration of different environments, like the research station. The only thing we know about him is that for once he will not tell Samus where to go, being ZDR an unexplored planet.
@segafan13 and she also absorbed many x-parasites
You Guys are AMAZING. GOTY 2021 right here.
This game is the reason why I got a Switch.....I played it and really really loved it....I got to a point, where I had to face the final boss....I just did not want to play it...despite of obtaining 100% of the items...I just did not want to beat the final boss since It would be the end of the game....and then, yesterday February 9th 2022 they released a "Hard" mode......I am so playing it once again!!!
Who else is rewatching this after beating the game?
the second best thing of the E3
secondary option b4 tru hype
Honestly yeah BotW 2 is just too hard to beat. This was incredible tho
@@aidanb4477 honestly more excited for this since i feel like we know more about this then botw 2, + Its releasing sooner
Yeah I'm more hyped for Metroid 5 right now. The fact that they didn't even released a proper name for Zelda bothers me.
I think I’m most excited for elden ring but damn this is good
No joke almost passed out when that trailer played.
Seems like they're going more into the spooky direction again » Yes, please!
this is almost surreal that Nintendo actually revived this project, wtf im i dreaming...
Remember that "See you in the next mission" screen after u beat Metroid games?
Finally.. a new Mission after all these years...
looks amazing and so polished... I hope the development progress is going smoothly and not rushed
They said that Metroid Dread For Nintendo Switch by Mercury Steam has been in development since 2018. So no its not rushed
I’m so excited! It looks like Samus Returns with a horror aspect like Metroid Fusion!!
@@outworld855 what?
@@Hadfield15 It's some spambot posting the same thing in all the comments on this video. Just report it as spam and block it.
Metroid Dread proves one thing for sure: Nintendo never forgets their old ideas.
👍
The way im seeing thigns, they dont just do things until they have smoething to contribute.
@@lsebastian9086 thats what they said about F-Zero.. they just dont have any new idea for now..
Nintendo should buy out Mercury Steam already.
I Agree, they seems to make amazing Metroid games
@@Guilherme-fw9cv You havent even played this game yet, how do you know it will be amazing?
@@JTShine i played Samus Returns and this looks even better. Can’t wait 😝
