Review: This is surely one of the last wave of great games for the 3DS and serves as a great ... - Samus is back in all her 2D glory after many, many years. This is surely one of the last wave of great games for the 3DS and serves as a great way for the handheld device to bow out. Playing on a regular size New 3DS, the game looks great and a lot better than I expected after looking at still images online. Whilst I still generally prefer sprites visually for this style of game, the 3D effect of Samus Returns does look a lot more impressive in person. The various visual effects throughout the game add a lot of colour and texture that give it a very uniqure feel that's not to be scoffed at. Gameplay wise this feels like a smart evoloution of the formula. 'Free-Aim' is achieved by holding one of the shoulder buttons and this swftly feels natural and neccesary. A seperate energy resouce for special abilities is a neat way to add another layer of systmes to Samus' arsenal and feels like another natural step forward in improving the Metroid formula. The classic exploration and backtracking is all here as you'd expect and a few new abilities add some new puzzles to what you'd expect, without changing anything too drastically. The music is generally good, with some new remixes of classic tunes from Super Metroid and others. Some didn't leave much of a mark on me, which isn't much of a complaint but as a huge fan of the series I didn't feel like this game offered anything dramtically new or exciting in this regard. It's good. Similarly the atmosphere of the different environments is generally varied considering the adaptation of the original game, but not quite as colourful and varied as the unofficial AM2R for example. I felt that this game didn't give me the same sense of progression as games like Super Metroid, but that's probably to be expected. Overall this is a great new entry in the franchise. It brings some new ideas to the table without straying far from the core formula we all love. AM2R is possibly still better, but both can be enjoyed seperately without feeling like too much De ja vu. It's main fault is purely the fact that this is a remake and not a purely original idea - which could have given it more scope to surprise and impress.

Das einzige kleine manko sind die gegner und Metroids die einem stark zusetzen können, so wie die Roboter an den wänden die bei einem treffer bis zu 70-80 Lebenspunkte abziehen. Die Waffen die nach der zeit kaum einen effekt auf die gegner haben bis man die nächste waffe bekommt oder den nächsten Anzug machen dann den unterschied. Alles im einen ein solides spiel mit ein paar kleinen schwächen aber gutem gameplay. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/327958930-metroid-samus-nintendo-3ds](https://www.desertcart.at/products/327958930-metroid-samus-nintendo-3ds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-11-06*
