Metroid: Samus Returns 2017

Is it still worth playing?

MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD's 2017 action adventure for the Nintendo 3DS, a remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus from 1991. Samus Aran is sent to the planet SR388 to exterminate the parasitic Metroid species. The presentation is 2.5D, and you explore labyrinthine environments, defeat hostile aliens and collect power ups that open new areas. Her tools are new. Free aiming in any direction replaces the angle limited aiming of the original, and the Melee Counter stuns nearby enemies that attack physically, giving an advantage against Metroids. Aeion abilities draw on an energy gauge, such as the Scan Pulse, which reveals hidden pathways and items. Counters to time and hidden paths to uncover still make exploring the planet a matter of watching closely today.
