I've seen people saying that this probably explains why Nintendo went after AM2R like they did, and it makes sense when Nintendo is making its own remake...
As for the two games though they may both be based on the same game, but they're pretty different since this one is trying new things, as opposed to sticking to the 2d Metroid formula. It has 2.5d graphics of course (with 3d support), but gameplay-wise you can aim in all directions in this one instead of only left/right/up, and that changes things significantly. I'm sure there will be more beyond that too.
The press who have seen this game like it, apparently, so I think there is good reason to be optimistic even though MercurySteam doesn't exactly have the best track record. Nintendo usually gets the most out of developers who work with them...
(Oh, and while Nintendo made some great announcements at this E3... no F-Zero, again. Why??)
