New Adventure, New Suit?

With the October 8th release date looming around the corner. Nintendo teases some new information about Metroid in this video. There will be a new game trailer on August 27th. Metroid Dread is currently number 2 on my most anticipated upcoming video game releases. I’ve been waiting for another Metroid game for years and then BOOM! Metroid Dread comes out of nowhere before Metroid Prime 4 is released. Oh yeah I’m pumped for this one.

Yes, I want one!

Nothing for Metroid Prime 4, but maybe this’ll do.

They reminded us that Metroid Prime 4 is still in development, but they just don’t want to show us it right now. Instead they have this game. A brand new side-scrolling Metroid. The original Metroidvania style. This story promises to show us the end of the Metroid alien arc. The other shocker is, Metroid Dread is coming out this October. Check out all of the gameplay footage and trailer below.
