    One of the most common critiques the 3DS faces is that its titles are typically 'easy' or too kid-focused. This is a great game for more advanced gamers that want a more involved and in-depth 3DS experience. I haven't finished the game yet but it is one of the best titles to hit the 3DS in the last year.

    So glad I purchased this. As a Metroid fan, this game delivers. It is a difficult game with a great art style and 3d implementation. A perfect remake :)

    I'm still in the early stages of this game, and I still need to get the other amiibos to successfully complete it. It is still in good condition.

    Of all the Metroid titles I would want remade this would be low of the list. However it's more a re-imagining then a remake. I hope this means more metroid to come.

    Well, I was never a really big fan of the Metroid series, but this game looked interesting so I decided to buy it. It’s Quite the mystery trying to figure out what’s going on with the Metroids quite the mystery trying to figure out what’s going on with the Metroids.

    I have been waiting years for a proper 2d metroid game. The wait is finally over and it was well worth the wait. I have been hooked on this game since I got it.

    My son loves anything robots or transformers related. He loves the ease and simplicity of this game. Recommend it to any young boy with a creative mind.

    This is about a girl named Sandwhich. She is awesome and blows up the enemy. It’s so fun that I’d rather play this than any of my other games.

    The metroid series has gotten a revamp taken from the heart of the series. Good old side scrolling, ball rolling, missle launching fun for everyone.

    3d effect looks great in this game. You can use tour hand cannon to parry enemy attacks now. It's fun at first but gets a bit repetitive towards the end especially the boss fights which get reused a lot.

    I'm glad Nintendo is finally giving the Metroid franchise more attention since they haven't since the early Wii era.

    I’m so glad Nintendo made this game. It’s a great Metroid side scroller. Brings back a lot of memories of the retro Metroid games.

    I've played it three times through already, it is SUCH a good "reboot" of super metroid and then some! Definitely worth getting!

    This game is totted as a remake of the original game but there have been enough improvements that it really stands on its own.

    We were able to get this game for half off (with the purchase of another 3DS game). My 13 year old will be thrilled!
