Awesome remake of the original game which was originally Released for gameboy color. New weapons and improvements, different type of aiming than typical metroid games like the original or super metroid . worth a playthrough since its the bridge between original game and super metroid.

Samus Returns is a remake of Metroid 2. The game is very good and it feels great to finally have a return to the old Metroid formula.

This game combines the feel of super metroid, the game design of metroid 2, and some remastered soundtracks and neat tricks. One spot towards the end, the game did not inform me how to progress and I had to look it up. I wasn't aware of a certain special move with my speed boost.

Based on the original Return of Samus game, this 3DS version goes beyond that, adding new features and capabilities. IT also ties very well with Super Metroid.
if you are a fan of the series, i recommend playing this one, you will feel right at home, specially if you are fan of super metroid.

If you like Metroid games you will like this. Only a few updates but plays like an old classic. Good blend of old and new.

I loved Metroid: Samus Returns. The action is the best it's ever been for the 2D games, and the quality & quantity of areas to explore were a pleasure. So happy this came out, and that Nintendo is finally returning the Metroid series to the players that are so fond of Samus and her adventures.

It's a lot of fun, but it's not terribly long and some environments can get old. Cool combat system though.

Metroid: Samus Returns is a remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus, and Nintendo really overhauled the entire game. Enemies are updated, new abilities are added, and the game is far more expansive. If you are looking for a full-bodied Metroid game, this is it.

Ah Samus! Been a long time since I've seen you back into action! Those darned Metroids riling up everything again, I see? Gosh Darn It! This time, Samus is mobile so we can take her everywhere to fight these pesky Metroids before they consume us all! Awesome game!

For the most part this is a really good remake. The area that’s disappointing is most of the bosses.

Fresh paint for a classic game. It's fun but game can get repetitive.
