Metroid: Samus Returns 3DS Game's Video Previews Samus' Attacks, Abilities

posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Remake of Metroid II launches on September 15

Nintendo began streaming an overview trailer on Thursday for Metroid: Samus Returns, its remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus for Nintendo 3DS. The video previews Samus' various attacks and abilities in the game.

The game will ship on September 15. The game will have a special edition that includes a 25-track "Samus Archives" CD with songs from the franchise's history.

Nintendo will also release new amiibo figurines for Samus Aran and a Metroid. They will be compatible with Metroid: Samus Returns.

Nintendo released the original Metroid II: Return of Samus game for Game Boy in 1991 and ported it to Nintendo 3DS in 2011 via the Virtual Console.

A fan remake of Metroid II shut down last year after receiving a DMCA notice from Nintendo of America.

Nintendo also announced Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo Switch in June.
