Metroid: Samus Returns

Metroid: Samus Returns is a remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus. It uses a 3D graphic style with a side view camera that zooms in and changes for cutscenes. It also has new mechanics, items and abilities. Samus Aran is a bounty hunter who braves the hostile terrain of an alien planet teeming with vicious life forms. Her mission is to terminate the Metroid threat. It is a side-scrolling action platformer. The planet is SR388, where Samus hunts the Metroids, which she must find and defeat across a connected underground map. She acquires new abilities, such as Morph Ball moves and weapons, which open up new paths. New moves include a Melee Counter that stuns an enemy and sets up a shot, and free aiming that lets her shoot in any direction. Aeion abilities spend a separate energy gauge and include Scan Pulse, which reveals the map nearby, and Lightning Armor, which shields Samus. Finishing the game unlocks a harder difficulty mode.
