Metroid Dread is ... real - A Black Falcon - 15th June 2021
Wait, what? That's not a sentence I thought I'd ever write! Metroid Dread is getting a Siwtch remake. That's maybe the biggest news from Nintendo's game-filled E3 presentation this morning. It's not the game from that show I'm the most excited for, but sure, it's a cool thing to see I guess.
To be clear, it's most likely that this game is a full new game using that name. It's made by Mercury Steam, same developer as Metroid Samus Returns. But yeah... Metroid Dread. For Switch. Who knew?

Remake? As you said it's a new game.

I meant of the cancelled 2005 version of the game. I don't think it actually got all that far into development so I imagine they were mostly starting from scratch from this one. Of course on top of that this is from a different developer and clearly builds on what they did in Samus Returns, mechanics-wise.
And that's my main issue with Metroid Dread, really -- I'm sure it will be good, but I did not like the feel of that melee counter attack thing Samus Returns has, and this one's got that move in it again that's for sure. I don't know, it's too QTE-ish...
