    While nothing will take the place of the Metroid Prime series, it's always great to see a new Metroid game, even if it is a remake. LOVE this game!

    Metroid is a gaming classic, and they’ve brought it back to life on the DS. Controls are a bit stiff st first, but once you break into it this one is a gem.

    Never played the original but I still loved the classic design. Looks great and plays great, hopefully it sold well enough to get more Metroid games.

    I was not expecting to like this game as much as I do. Huge fan of the original, and this keeps getting better the longer I play. Graphics are insane!

    I played the original as a kid, and this remake is like they put Super Metroid and Metroid 2 in a blendet and made a beautiful amalgam of both. I love it!

    And it paid off big time. This is another true 2D Metroid experience. Very well designed game with surprisingly challenging boss battles.

    Great remake. I always wanted to play this game on gameboy, but was too young. If you’re looking for a game that will take you back, try this one.

    This is definitely one of the top 25 games for the 3DS which given how fantastic the library has proven to be is saying something.

    Samus returns is a great reboot of the classic Game Boy game. So much so that the original is almost unrecognizable. A great 3ds action game.

    It is good to see Nintendo give to life this game again, the best part are the enchanged combat mechanics, the worse is that the game is easy.

    This is one of those games that warrants the purchase of a 3ds just so you can play it. It’s a really great addition to the Metroid series.
