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.

[@npc_blob1609]

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

Overall, super excited for this game, and glad that it might introduce more people to the series!

[@robocu4]

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.

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.
