Well he really can't because he's dead by this point in the overall Metroid story. With that said, he did give orders in Fusion too, which is honestly a fantastic game. So it all has to do with character development and story.
@@TheMissingLink2 this should be after metroid fusion so Adam should be in the ship's computer. I agree that the problem with M was the writing and design in general, not Adam giving orders.

@@tailedgates9 That’s what I’ve noticed too! Its Samus Returns gameplay without the honestly sometimes boring map design and limited enemy variety of that game I still enjoyed Samus Returns but god going for 100% is boring af especially when like half the collectibles are locked behind the Baby Metroid and you absolutely destroy everything at that point
I love that they incorporated what was essentially piloted in Super Smash Bros., the gun flair up or down, as a move in this next 2-D side scroller installment, feels like living in Nintendo world rewards players for it.
They have speed booster, I recognize it during the trailer, when you sprint, press down and able to fly straight like a rocket as the cost of your life. I saw a quick scene where Samus look pretty much to be in that position, flying up in the sky straight like a rocket, looking up.
I love how insistent they are that this game is friendly to people new to the franchise. It’s blatantly “LOOK I KNOW THE SALES NUMERS SAY NONE OF YOU GUYS HAVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BUT PLEASE BUY THIS ONE”. Lets make it happen boys. Lets show Nintendo we want metroid
Look, I don‘t have a 3DS, I would’ve bought Samus Returns on Switch in a heartbeat. I also don‘t have a gameboy advanced, I WANT to pay for Playing Fusion, but Nintendo didn‘t put up a virtual console storefront for the Switch like the Wii and Wii U, despite it being a HANDHELD. I‘d also buy a Metroid Prime collection ported to the Switch. Like; can you imagine gyro aim with the switch pro, or a dual joystick setup, where they combine gyro and joystick.
@@paperbackwriter1111 Fusion and Zero Mission both were on virtual console for the Wii U they were just region lock to Japan Edit:I re-read your comment and realized what you just said sorry about that
its been 15 years since I first heard the name Metroid Dread...can't believe I actually saw the real thing in a Nintendo Direct today. What a time to be alive.
I was watching Arlo's reaction and couldn't figure out why he was freaking out so much at the name reveal. I had no idea it was planned to be a game in the early 2000s.
@@AlexStudiosChannel PLAY. SUPER. METROID. It may be old but its game design and story still hold up today, not to mention the art style, music and atmosphere are amazing! It's literally free with Nintendo Switch Online, there's no excuse for not playing the definitive game of the Metroid series!
Out of nowhere comes this sick looking game, an actual showing with extended gameplay, and isn't an announcement of something releasing in the distant future. An actual video game too, not some game/movie hybrid. Refreshing.
6:06 I'm sorry... but that will probably never get old! The perceived attitude of the real beast, the body language! That speaks volume! THIS is Metroid!
@@nonymouswisp8176 Super Metroid looked aged. Some areas just look bland, and half of Norfair has the Metroid NES problem of looking the same. Zero Mission is definitely my favorite visual style, but in the new trailer I honestly might like this 2.5D look better. Cutscenes are rendered in 30fps which is unfortunate, on top of them looking fairly flat in comparison to the gameplay. Other than that I'm hyped
@@gu3z185 Zero Mission's art style itself is more refined than Super's, but Super manages to actually give each area a unique look and feel like no other 2D Metroid other than Fusion captured. Both ZM and SR's areas don't really have strong distinct atmospheres from each other until their lategames. IMO Fusion easily has the best art style of the 2d series, although Super is a close second.
@@thebestofallworlds187 Fusion was industrialized a lot too, and the art style looked amazing. Besides, I bet this game will include the beautiful natural elements of Super Metroid and Samus Returns in at least ONE area.
@@bluefates58 not a bad idea taking notes from MR. X (insert Angry Joe RE 2 Remake parody for Mr. X music here) and mixing it with what they learned from the SA-X!
@@ClawsAndTeeth in a certain way yes, but the tension it causes, plus nerves are still there, but with the E.M.I.I. Is as if they grabbed the tension from the SA-X and multiplied it by a lot
@@BlackAce2578 Very true. From what I've heard though, the E.M.M.I.s have something SA-X doesn't: an instakill move. That just amps the tension even more!
And the fun thing is that samus still has the fusion suit albeit with reinforcing metals which can ingame explain her not taking as much damage as in fusion
The atmosphere is what always get me coming to Metroid. I hope new players enjoy this game as much as I will. Remember shoot everything in the room lol.
I agree - the stylization of the suit with the sharp angles was a nice touch, and the backgrounds and environments were so beautiful (almost made the 3D worth it!). I wish they would port it to switch, it definitely deserves a system with better processing power so it doesn't look so scummy.
The issue with snus returns it was very bright and unscary and doesnt give the vibe that the original gives. AM2R gave a better job giving that vibe. Dread perfectly gives the vibe of dread with a darker and creepier atmosphere.
@@Selxis i understand people didn't like a lot with that game but as a life long metroid fan i liked the different direction it went in and personally loved most of the art style although at times it did look like an early psp game also for a metroid game i cant remember the music.
I purchased a 3DS XL Samus Aran Edition JUST for Samus Returns, last year, (2020). That was the first time I played a Metroid game since Super Metroid. (I can not play first person games) I thought it was AMAZING. I purchased a couple other games for the 3DS and returned them all. The only game worth playing on the 3DS, in my opinion, IS Samus Returns. It is MIND BOGGLING that it's taking nearly TWENTY YEARS to get another 2D/2.5D Metroid. After all, (and I say this OVER and OVER), there is an ENTIRE GENRE named after this amazing title,... and yeah, I'm aware of the Vania side of it, but Metroid is far superior to all of the Vanias combined, IMHO. If this is #5, I TRULY HOPE they are already working on 6 & 7 as well. If it's going to be another 20 years after this installment, the world might end before its made. Say a prayer!!! (No, not that the world won't end... That we get MORE 2D/2.5D METEORS, BEFORE IT DOES!!!)
Okay is it just me or are the EMMIs legitimately terrifying. It’s like a 2D version of Mr. X from Resident Evil. Except EMMIs fast crawl on all fours and it’s so unsettling and panic inducing, especially with the fact they can insta-kill. They give me so much anxiety and I love it. This game is gonna be awesome, I can tell right now.
Yeah. RE and Metroid have some similar style of exploration and backtracking to get items. It's cool that now a nemesis like enemy is in this Metroid game
@@groudonor12 The difference is that the SA-X mostly just showed up in scripted sections with little interaction or chases where you just had to escape it. The way the EMMI stalks you and hunts for you throughout specific areas is nothing like anything Metroid has done before.
@@saskiaviking9447 yeah I kinda figured that too, and I’m guessing the Varia Suit is on the same area or the next because of the heated rooms. But I could be wrong because they straight up used water to great effect well before I’d expect to see the Gravity Suit.
I hate that name.. there is nothing that “castlevania” has added to the formula beyond the character “leveling up”… the only “Metroid VANIA” thing about those games is that they copied the Metroid structure for their titles… in Metroid the maze makes sense since its a series of tunnels… in Castlevania the “maze” architecture makes no sense
seeing this has given me interest in the series i’m crazy excited for this and now i’m going to start super metroid on switch so happy for metroid fans
@@ryangorewich7001 That's what Mercury Steam wanted to do in the first place, but Nintendo urged them to remake Metroid II instead. After they proved their stuff, Nintendo brought them in to work on something even bigger... and now, here we are.
This is amazing. Being on an alien planet with adam, getting hunted down by the galactic federation, it's exactly how I imagined a Fusion sequel. Maybe even the rescued aliens will play a role who knows. My advice to everyone is to play Fusion one way or another before getting this PLEASE.
I'd like to, but I don't have anything at this point (save the PC shall we say...) to play Fusion with! and that's not counting the fact that I DON'T EVEN HAVE A COPY! Seriously, Nintendo you HAVE A GOLDMINE OF OLD GAMES YOU CAN USE TO MAKE MONEY! LET ME THROW MONEY AT YOU AND GET FUSION IN RETURN!
@Grungeboy What he means is that (Spoilers for the Fusion intro) Samus gets infected by the X parasite at the very beginning of the game, and she nearly dies but they manage to save her by surgically removing parts of her armor and injecting her with a vaccine derived from Metroid cells. It’s why she spends most of the game being mortally weak to the X-clones of her old self, because it’s using Ice Beam and she’s now weak to cold like Metroids. These robots *could* be anti-Metroid defense systems that are scanning the Metroid cells in her body and aggroing because of it.
@@SuperChristianMiiworld I hate to say it but that could just be oversight on Nintendo not making enough. I hope but I’m cautiously optimistic …. Seeing a lot of comments from people wanting to try the series
I was successful in getting a special edition preorder and a set of the amiibos. I'm ready for this in October. We finally get the Metroid game I've been waiting 19 years for... I first played Fusion at age 11 and I'm going to be 30 this year...
Project M has the melee as her up smash. Her side taunt switches between fire and ice; ice changes how missiles and her f/u-smash function, with up smash being the uppercut instead of the multihit blast.
I’d definitely love a ‘Fusion Suit Samus’ with an entirely different moveset, since the one we currently have is good in their own right imo. But, lots of people would be pissed if Fighters Pass 2 ended on another first party character lol
11:54 I like how this one comment is basically saying "I know we called him Adam, but we promise it has NONE of the things you hated about the Adam in Other M" 😅
@@marche800 in fusion, you could still divert from adam's orders to explore side content. In other M, you couldnt, AND it was worsened by the fact he also ordered what power ups you could use lol.
@@basementreviewer788 True but a lot of people don't think to do that, there isn't a whole lot of incentive and often you'll still be locked to certain areas.
@@marche800 I don't think you played Other M. He's 100x worse than in Fusion, where you don't always know *how* to get where he tells you to go. You also start breaking the rules towards the end.
@@rustingflamberge I played Other M day one and have finished it multiple times. I'm not arguing that he's worse in fusion i'm arguing that people already had problems with him in Fusion that were just made exponentially worse in Other M. The implementation in Fusion is more relevant to dread because it's much more similar to his appearance to fusion when compared to Other M
I've watched this video, the previous Treehouse demo, the trailer, and the development history video probably 5 times each by now. each time I notice something new
This is why it's best to not buy them at all from scalpers because eventually they will be forced to sell them back to their original price. The reason why is because they will loose money by large amount especially since they will go into debt if they don't pay back the money they owe from buying all the stuff they buy
Dude... There's actually music!!!! Not just ambient stuff, but stuff you can hum and remember!!! You can barely hear it, but the bits of the music you can hear in Cataris sound good... I think this is shaping up to be something special...!!
She has grown enoughly to erase those expectatives on fans about her fears/traumas (even if this game includes dread, it´s not gonna paralyze Samus because of her emotions), I mean, just looks this scene 6:13.
The prime games had some pretty unsettling game overs. You literally hear Samus scream out in pain and each one has some creepy imagery. Prime 1: A creepy alarm blares with the image of Samus' visor cracked before she slumps over dead. Prime 2: A realistic heart is show as the beating slows down before going out. Prime 3: Is inside her helmet and you see blood smearing on the glass.
@@CeHee123 they're pretty scary too, but in terms of 2D Metroid I don't think we've seen Samus get straight up killed, only seen her suit break. This one in Dread caught me off-guard a bit.
@@jonathanrobles1734 The suit is slowly rebuilding its outer layers that were removed at the beginning of Fusion, as a result of Samus absorbing the SA-X at the end of Fusion. This results in a rather interesting appearance change for the Fusion Suit.
That's fire 🔥2:05 she slides under the enemy but they show the first person view in the helmet as she slides and nobody act like they didn't see that WOW
I like how it seems like they're going to withhold the morph ball for a while. It's normally like the first thing you get in a Metroid game. Could be an interesting design constraint. I kind of hope they rethink some of the traditional metroid upgrades--things like the Varia Suit or the screw attack. Think like the gravity booster from MP2: it's not just a gravity suit, it makes underwater exploration actually different from land.
You should try advocating for something other than a multi-billion dollar corporation. Millions of people will buy it, the "underdog" persona they give to this series is a marketing ploy that you fell for.
@@悪臭-p9p oh wow you’re so deep and insightful! You must of made your electronic device you used to type out this comment yourself! I doubt it was made in a sweat shop. Not only that, but you probably grow all your own food and make all your clothes! Keep it up man! You’re really telling em what for!
I’m in love with this game! That is was an excellent boss fight! I’m adoring the Alien horror vibes. Really glad the series is going back to it’s roots. 19 years of on and off development and they seem to still keep faithful to the spirit of the main series. Thank you Sakamoto-san and MercurySteam!
One nitpick about the game so far and I hope the devs hear this: Please let there be an option to turn off checkpoints, won't be very DREADful if death isn't that punishing. Like maybe that's the HARD mode or something?
The option not to save has always been there for Metroid games. When you die you go back to the last save. You never save, you go back to the beginning.
@@jonathanmarin1250 Not in Returns, when you die in Returns, you essentially start before the room you died. Making death such a non issue. This was especially noticeable during the tough Metroid Fights.
@@MariotheAnimator really? It's the only Metroid i never played. I really wanted to but never picked it up. Really hoping they release a remaster on switch. But hey, you could always just delete the save file and start a new one hahaha. My guess then is that this one will be just like returns. I'm going to see if i can find a copy of returns on eBay.
While you wait I suggest to start with Metroid Zero Mission for the GBA, it's a remake of the first game. the rest of the series is: Samus Returns on 3DS (remake of 2) Super Metroid on SNES Metroid Fusion. Also Metroid Prime Trilogy on the wii, it has the three first person games of the series, they are very good.
Honestly, what @data4664 said, play Super Metroid first. It's an incredible exploration experience, great level and gameplay designs that teach players how to explore and get better at the game without a "navi" (reference to Zelda) telling you what to do. On top of that, it empowers players to really feel like they are progressing in the game and getting more badass. To move faster, jump higher, shoot cooler beams, and take on bigger obstacles, all while rewarding exploration of the large worlds where the games take place. This new Dread game builds on that exploration, learning, non-linear gameplay/story, and empower the player to really succeed in the world and conquer the planet. Definitely a fun time.
If they wanted a best seller game they should be more ambitious. Making what looks like a indie project with a slapped on Metroid title barely looking uncomfortable despite a name like dread (fake shivers) isnt the way to catch the big bucks. Looks like a 20-30 dollar game...
@@warlorddk2070 idk when I saw Samus getting chased down and trying to escape death from a wild robot I was pretty scared, also the game over animations are brutal. And don’t forget that we’ve only seen around 30 minutes of gameplay and it seems like a lot of the footage so far is just the beginning segment of the game.
Dude, I lost count of how many times I watched this treehouse! I'm so excited for this game and I can't wait to put my hands on it! Samus looks more badass than she ever was!!! Bring it on, Nintendo!!!
@@starknightlumina8680 It’s quite possible after all Samus Returns did hint at a faction of rogue Chozo in the data logs. That said the Treehouse presentation stated that the EMMI robots belonged to the GF so maybe the Chozo either hijacked them or Samus is being hunted by both the Chozo and the GF.
I hope the other areas look more alive and diverse. That's one of the things that Super Metroid and the Prime games did very well that other metroid games have not.
I disagree, the Prime games and Fusion had loads of unique environments, and even Samus Returns adapted Metroid II's setting into a wide range of caves, temples, and labs--not to mention the gut-wrenching Metroid nest. So far, the areas in Dread have a ton of unique set pieces like statues, machinery, wildlife, lakes, and the bone-dry remains of various creatures.
weve seen parts of the first 2 sections, and through small clips we've seen a chozo temple and a richly designed forest area. maybe instead of prejudging the game, play it yourself and see what it has to offer
While this isn't entirely why, a big part of it in my eyes is poorly timed releases. Super Metroid released on the snes just as the n64 was getting started, Zero Mission came out on the GBA right before the DS came around, and Samus Returns released on the 3ds when the Switch was already like 6 months old or something. I can't necessarily speak for the other titles tho. Prime did well at the time, but thats relative, since the Gamecube was losing the console war in that generation. This game however has a lot of intrigue given its long history with fans, and a wait time that could make Half Life 3 jealous. And since its on the switch, its bound to do well, given that this console practically prints money
Thanks Nintendo, really exciting!! Except you can't play the previous game in the series cause you are not offering legacy content. Dont do Samus wrong. Let us be able to play the complete series.
One of my favorite things about Samus Returns was the way the "play area" in the foreground was actually an extension of the background. Getting to see how all the surface structures interconnected gave an amazing sense of scale and immersion; to the point that Samus Returns was like the only game on 3DS that actually made me want to play with the 3D effect enabled. I love the fact that they're keeping that design aspect going strong for this title. And it really showed how powerful it is with how often it was mentioned by the hosts. I'm eagerly awaiting the day we finally get to play this!

its been 15 years since I first heard the name Metroid Dread...can't believe I actually saw the real thing in a Nintendo Direct today. What a time to be alive.
This is crazy! 😃
I didn't think i would live to see the day
I was watching Arlo's reaction and couldn't figure out why he was freaking out so much at the name reveal. I had no idea it was planned to be a game in the early 2000s.
Wait what? I know they tried to make Metroid 5 a couple of times, but was the title "Dread" already confirmed back then too?
@@Gabo2oo I've heard Dread pre-2010 for sure before that really
Wow as a non-metroid fan, this game caught my eye. I'll buy it
Exactly i feel the same way bro
First play Super Metroid on the Switch Online SNES game! You won't regret it.
Same. I'm even gonna play all the games before it now(I'm playing the remakes of the first two games as I'm not beating another freaking nes game)
@@AlexStudiosChannel PLAY. SUPER. METROID. It may be old but its game design and story still hold up today, not to mention the art style, music and atmosphere are amazing! It's literally free with Nintendo Switch Online, there's no excuse for not playing the definitive game of the Metroid series!

How is this a strong atmosphere? 🤔 have you played Alien Isolation?
@@warlorddk2070 Alien Isolation having a strong atmosphere doesn’t discount this. Also that game is a completely different genre.

Seeing samus's kill animation for that cloaking boss was when it really clicked how much I need this game.
Out of nowhere comes this sick looking game, an actual showing with extended gameplay, and isn't an announcement of something releasing in the distant future. An actual video game too, not some game/movie hybrid. Refreshing.

As long as I've been alive, and Metroid fusion was my first Metroid game on the game boy advance sp
19 years ago I was in my early teens, playing Metroid on my GBA. Much simpler innocent times, I wish I could go back to :(
It's only been since 2017. Idk how they can get their facts so wrong.
6:06 I'm sorry... but that will probably never get old! The perceived attitude of the real beast, the body language! That speaks volume! THIS is Metroid!
2D gameplay with 3D cinematics.
It simply DOES NOT get any better than this!
Ngl Super Metroids sprite work is by far the best look in the series
@@nonymouswisp8176 Super Metroid looked aged. Some areas just look bland, and half of Norfair has the Metroid NES problem of looking the same. Zero Mission is definitely my favorite visual style, but in the new trailer I honestly might like this 2.5D look better. Cutscenes are rendered in 30fps which is unfortunate, on top of them looking fairly flat in comparison to the gameplay. Other than that I'm hyped
@@gu3z185 yeah this game looks great, I just prefer 2D art for 2D games
@@gu3z185 Zero Mission's art style itself is more refined than Super's, but Super manages to actually give each area a unique look and feel like no other 2D Metroid other than Fusion captured. Both ZM and SR's areas don't really have strong distinct atmospheres from each other until their lategames. IMO Fusion easily has the best art style of the 2d series, although Super is a close second.
Here is the thing I like about this game… everything, it looks great
it's too industrialized.

Can’t wait for this, the art is exactly like Samus returns. The only game that makes me miss 3D from the 3ds
And that's not a good thing, imo. The art style in returns was forgetable, bland and lifeless. There are no distingushing features or charm.
I agree - the stylization of the suit with the sharp angles was a nice touch, and the backgrounds and environments were so beautiful (almost made the 3D worth it!). I wish they would port it to switch, it definitely deserves a system with better processing power so it doesn't look so scummy.
The issue with snus returns it was very bright and unscary and doesnt give the vibe that the original gives. AM2R gave a better job giving that vibe. Dread perfectly gives the vibe of dread with a darker and creepier atmosphere.
@@Selxis i understand people didn't like a lot with that game but as a life long metroid fan i liked the different direction it went in and personally loved most of the art style although at times it did look like an early psp game also for a metroid game i cant remember the music.
I purchased a 3DS XL Samus Aran Edition JUST for Samus Returns, last year, (2020). That was the first time I played a Metroid game since Super Metroid. (I can not play first person games) I thought it was AMAZING.
I purchased a couple other games for the 3DS and returned them all. The only game worth playing on the 3DS, in my opinion, IS Samus Returns. It is MIND BOGGLING that it's taking nearly TWENTY YEARS to get another 2D/2.5D Metroid. After all, (and I say this OVER and OVER), there is an ENTIRE GENRE named after this amazing title,... and yeah, I'm aware of the Vania side of it, but Metroid is far superior to all of the Vanias combined, IMHO.
If this is #5, I TRULY HOPE they are already working on 6 & 7 as well. If it's going to be another 20 years after this installment, the world might end before its made. Say a prayer!!!
(No, not that the world won't end... That we get MORE 2D/2.5D METEORS, BEFORE IT DOES!!!)
The boss fight looked amazing and this is just the beginning of the game? I can’t imagine how amazing the rest of the bosses are going to be
I agree
and those badass cinematic are back too?! My goodness this game looks so good
yes beginning it seems so.
@@willo90li Mercury Steam knows how to make Samus look like the badass she is. I'm so impressed with how well they know Metroid.
Okay is it just me or are the EMMIs legitimately terrifying. It’s like a 2D version of Mr. X from Resident Evil. Except EMMIs fast crawl on all fours and it’s so unsettling and panic inducing, especially with the fact they can insta-kill. They give me so much anxiety and I love it. This game is gonna be awesome, I can tell right now.
Yeah. RE and Metroid have some similar style of exploration and backtracking to get items. It's cool that now a nemesis like enemy is in this Metroid game
I'd say they're more like the SA-X in Fusion.
After all, RE is heavily inspired by Metroid.
@@Enzed_ you do realise that they've done this thing before with the SA-X.
@@groudonor12 The difference is that the SA-X mostly just showed up in scripted sections with little interaction or chases where you just had to escape it.
The way the EMMI stalks you and hunts for you throughout specific areas is nothing like anything Metroid has done before.
"This will tide us over until Prime 4?" NAH screw Prime 4, I've been waiting the full 19 years for this sequel, this is the MAIN COURSE!
I completely agree
True, but all Metroid is good tbh.
Prime Trilogy are still great.
Prime 4 will be the sweet dessert!
Prime 4 is the cup of wine on the side
I love how the worm door seems to continue the 2d metroid tradition of having to defeat a doorway of some kind, before entering a boss arena
Aww, yeah, true! XD Same here!
This game looks incredible.
The way the E.M.M.I.’s move is so cool
I find it surprising that Morph Ball didn’t show up in this at all, normally it’s an early upgrade. Kinda exciting
I hope they dont remove it
@@Pablo_Martin_aa there's official art out there showing the morph ball form, so it's prolly in the game.
@@saskiaviking9447 yeah I kinda figured that too, and I’m guessing the Varia Suit is on the same area or the next because of the heated rooms. But I could be wrong because they straight up used water to great effect well before I’d expect to see the Gravity Suit.
@@Pablo_Martin_aa it's in the trailer.
You probably get the morph ball later on because of the new slide move

There's a reason why this genre is called MetroidVania... This game looks so awesome!!! Always loved so much all the 2D Metroid games
I hate that name.. there is nothing that “castlevania” has added to the formula beyond the character “leveling up”…
the only “Metroid VANIA” thing about those games is that they copied the Metroid structure for their titles… in Metroid the maze makes sense since its a series of tunnels… in Castlevania the “maze” architecture makes no sense

it's awesome that you've taken an interest, this series needs all the support it can get to prove to nintendo that it's worth investing in
metroid games are amazing, please, play Fusion too and Prime games
Fusion gave me early chills when I was younger, even till this day😁 Hopefully if they remake a fusion remake they bring back that aspect
@@ryangorewich7001 That's what Mercury Steam wanted to do in the first place, but Nintendo urged them to remake Metroid II instead. After they proved their stuff, Nintendo brought them in to work on something even bigger... and now, here we are.
This is amazing. Being on an alien planet with adam, getting hunted down by the galactic federation, it's exactly how I imagined a Fusion sequel. Maybe even the rescued aliens will play a role who knows. My advice to everyone is to play Fusion one way or another before getting this PLEASE.
@Grungeboy That would make sense too, guess we'll have to wait and see
@Grungeboy My brother mentioned that those robots could be attacking her since they read metroid DNA on her.
I'd like to, but I don't have anything at this point (save the PC shall we say...) to play Fusion with! and that's not counting the fact that I DON'T EVEN HAVE A COPY! Seriously, Nintendo you HAVE A GOLDMINE OF OLD GAMES YOU CAN USE TO MAKE MONEY! LET ME THROW MONEY AT YOU AND GET FUSION IN RETURN!
@Grungeboy What he means is that (Spoilers for the Fusion intro) Samus gets infected by the X parasite at the very beginning of the game, and she nearly dies but they manage to save her by surgically removing parts of her armor and injecting her with a vaccine derived from Metroid cells. It’s why she spends most of the game being mortally weak to the X-clones of her old self, because it’s using Ice Beam and she’s now weak to cold like Metroids. These robots *could* be anti-Metroid defense systems that are scanning the Metroid cells in her body and aggroing because of it.
Wish they could port Samus Returns to switch
A Switch port of Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super, and Fusion would be delightful! Instant buy from me.
@@ironrex6979 Yeah, that would be amazing.
@@ironrex6979 just a whole 2d side-scrolling collection would be a god-send

@Noah HLol you think so?
Got mine in as well … enjoy :-)
If only Samus had that slide and melee attack in Smash now.
Project M has the melee as her up smash. Her side taunt switches between fire and ice; ice changes how missiles and her f/u-smash function, with up smash being the uppercut instead of the multihit blast.
The charge shot flip attack would be awesome.
yea she needs them lol.

Oof the special edition is already being scalped on EBay. I saw a listing going for $229.99 USD. People gotta ruin good things don’t they?
This is why it's best to not buy them at all from scalpers because eventually they will be forced to sell them back to their original price. The reason why is because they will loose money by large amount especially since they will go into debt if they don't pay back the money they owe from buying all the stuff they buy

@@DarkLilty501 It does
18:23 I was not expecting that type of death, I thought it was just gonna flash and then fade to black without us seeing what killed her 😨

Prime 1: A creepy alarm blares with the image of Samus' visor cracked before she slumps over dead.
Prime 2: A realistic heart is show as the beating slows down before going out.
Prime 3: Is inside her helmet and you see blood smearing on the glass.
@@CeHee123 they're pretty scary too, but in terms of 2D Metroid I don't think we've seen Samus get straight up killed, only seen her suit break. This one in Dread caught me off-guard a bit.

I'm not complaining.

all this movement and so many areas to explore.. and we havent even seen morph ball yet

Not after waiting 15 years already.
Why do yall care about waiting? Id rather wait then get a half baked product at launch
I like how it seems like they're going to withhold the morph ball for a while. It's normally like the first thing you get in a Metroid game. Could be an interesting design constraint. I kind of hope they rethink some of the traditional metroid upgrades--things like the Varia Suit or the screw attack. Think like the gravity booster from MP2: it's not just a gravity suit, it makes underwater exploration actually different from land.
i love how this game swaps to a 3D world perspective at some points

Roots??? Nah
One nitpick about the game so far and I hope the devs hear this:
Please let there be an option to turn off checkpoints, won't be very DREADful if death isn't that punishing. Like maybe that's the HARD mode or something?
The option not to save has always been there for Metroid games. When you die you go back to the last save. You never save, you go back to the beginning.
@@jonathanmarin1250 Not in Returns, when you die in Returns, you essentially start before the room you died. Making death such a non issue.
This was especially noticeable during the tough Metroid Fights.
@@MariotheAnimator really? It's the only Metroid i never played. I really wanted to but never picked it up. Really hoping they release a remaster on switch. But hey, you could always just delete the save file and start a new one hahaha. My guess then is that this one will be just like returns. I'm going to see if i can find a copy of returns on eBay.
I've never played a Metroid game, but it looks so cool that I can not help but be hyped to play it
While you wait I suggest to start with Metroid Zero Mission for the GBA, it's a remake of the first game.
the rest of the series is:
Samus Returns on 3DS (remake of 2)
Super Metroid on SNES
Metroid Fusion.
Also Metroid Prime Trilogy on the wii, it has the three first person games of the series, they are very good.
start with super metroid
Honestly, what @data4664 said, play Super Metroid first. It's an incredible exploration experience, great level and gameplay designs that teach players how to explore and get better at the game without a "navi" (reference to Zelda) telling you what to do. On top of that, it empowers players to really feel like they are progressing in the game and getting more badass. To move faster, jump higher, shoot cooler beams, and take on bigger obstacles, all while rewarding exploration of the large worlds where the games take place.
This new Dread game builds on that exploration, learning, non-linear gameplay/story, and empower the player to really succeed in the world and conquer the planet. Definitely a fun time.
Everyone now: “Oooooh ScArY rObOt sooo spooky. Just run from it”
Everyone when the game comes out: *”DEAR GOD WHY GO AWAY F&$K $H!- B):&H”*
clearly they have never played fusion lol. sa-x still terrifies me
6:02
Bro, Samus is so cool!!
She's like that cool popular girl from High School
Buy this people. Metroid needs another comeback! This should be a multi million selling but Samus returns barely hit 500k.
Samus returns would have done much better on the switch.
I haven’t played any other meteoroid games except for a tiny bit of the snes game and the ds fps that had weird controls but this game looks rad
If they wanted a best seller game they should be more ambitious. Making what looks like a indie project with a slapped on Metroid title barely looking uncomfortable despite a name like dread (fake shivers) isnt the way to catch the big bucks. Looks like a 20-30 dollar game...
@@warlorddk2070 idk when I saw Samus getting chased down and trying to escape death from a wild robot I was pretty scared, also the game over animations are brutal. And don’t forget that we’ve only seen around 30 minutes of gameplay and it seems like a lot of the footage so far is just the beginning segment of the game.
@@dr_drew_ But 60 dollars? My guy? If this was anything other than metroid, maybe a playsration game, would you even consider this for 60 bucks?...
4:17 I love the counter cinematics. It just shows cool Samus is
I swear after I play this game I'm going to get jumpscared every time I go outside and hear some birds chirping.
The cinematic angles looks amazing
A cool thing about the artstyle is that some scenery looks like it's hand drawn wich is really cool.
Dude, I lost count of how many times I watched this treehouse! I'm so excited for this game and I can't wait to put my hands on it! Samus looks more badass than she ever was!!! Bring it on, Nintendo!!!
The fact that they brought back a cancelled DS game is just amazing
It is not a DS game!!!
Samus being hunted by the Galactic Federation is gonna be one of the most terrifying experiences ever seen in a Metroid game.
What if she is being hunted by a Chozo instead?
@@starknightlumina8680 It’s quite possible after all Samus Returns did hint at a faction of rogue Chozo in the data logs. That said the Treehouse presentation stated that the EMMI robots belonged to the GF so maybe the Chozo either hijacked them or Samus is being hunted by both the Chozo and the GF.
GF probably trying to extract the Metroid DNA (X parasite too) out of Samus
I like how the suit is an upgraded Fusion Suit! Cool how it picks right up from Fusion!
13:51
By far the most beautiful moment of this game I have seen this far. The window into the magma factory is awesome
I hope the other areas look more alive and diverse. That's one of the things that Super Metroid and the Prime games did very well that other metroid games have not.
The only thing that bothered me other than some frame drops. The backgrounds look really boring.
I disagree, the Prime games and Fusion had loads of unique environments, and even Samus Returns adapted Metroid II's setting into a wide range of caves, temples, and labs--not to mention the gut-wrenching Metroid nest.
So far, the areas in Dread have a ton of unique set pieces like statues, machinery, wildlife, lakes, and the bone-dry remains of various creatures.
Like literally we've seen nothing mate. Nothing...
weve seen parts of the first 2 sections, and through small clips we've seen a chozo temple and a richly designed forest area. maybe instead of prejudging the game, play it yourself and see what it has to offer
I've never played the Metroid games, but I'm shocked they don't sell well. They all look amazing
While this isn't entirely why, a big part of it in my eyes is poorly timed releases. Super Metroid released on the snes just as the n64 was getting started, Zero Mission came out on the GBA right before the DS came around, and Samus Returns released on the 3ds when the Switch was already like 6 months old or something. I can't necessarily speak for the other titles tho. Prime did well at the time, but thats relative, since the Gamecube was losing the console war in that generation. This game however has a lot of intrigue given its long history with fans, and a wait time that could make Half Life 3 jealous. And since its on the switch, its bound to do well, given that this console practically prints money
@@pizziola808 Super was released 2 years before N64.
Thanks Nintendo, really exciting!! Except you can't play the previous game in the series cause you are not offering legacy content. Dont do Samus wrong. Let us be able to play the complete series.

Samus is just the boss! The way she looks and walks behind Scorpio (Bossfight) before she finished him... sooooo cool!
One of my favorite things about Samus Returns was the way the "play area" in the foreground was actually an extension of the background. Getting to see how all the surface structures interconnected gave an amazing sense of scale and immersion; to the point that Samus Returns was like the only game on 3DS that actually made me want to play with the 3D effect enabled. I love the fact that they're keeping that design aspect going strong for this title. And it really showed how powerful it is with how often it was mentioned by the hosts.
I'm eagerly awaiting the day we finally get to play this!
6:07 that whole cinematic looks soooo cool!!!
barring the frame drops, I agree!
