One of the Best Metroid Games Heads to Nintendo Switch Next Week
Starting next week you’ll officially be able to play through most of the main Metroid series in order in one place, because Metroid Fusion now has a date for Nintendo Switch’s online library. Those who have the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership can look forward to playing one of the best entries—originally released for Game Boy Advance back in 2002—starting on March 8.
Get ready for Samus’s next mission with the new trailer:
Description:
In Metroid Fusion, interstellar bounty hunter Samus Aran is attacked by an X parasite while exploring the mysterious planet SR388. This organism is not only deadly, but it can mimic the abilities of any creature it infects – including Samus herself! Saved from the brink thanks to an infusion of Metroid DNA, the X parasite’s only natural predator, she soon discovers that the parasite has spread to the research station orbiting SR388. Weakened and out of options, Samus must do whatever it takes to destroy the X threat before it’s too late.
Embark on this critical mission alongside Samus and experience classic Metroid gameplay while exploring a massive research station teeming with hostile life forms. Collect power-ups – including favorites like Morph Ball and Screw Attack – uncover a multitude of secrets and experience the adventure that links Super Metroid™ to Metroid Dread. But be wary, because the dreadful SA-X, an unstoppable X parasite mimicking Samus, is on the loose … and it’s coming for you.
