Metroid Dread - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch | E3 2021 

Nintendo: “We have nothing to show on Prime 4.” Metroid fans: :( Nintendo: “But in the meantime, here’s a new Metroid game.” Metroid fans: :)

To everyone who bought Samus Returns to convince Nintendo we still want 2D Metroid, thank you

Metroid: console Metroid 2: handheld Super Metroid: console Metroid fusion: handheld Metroid dread: BOTH

Everyone see’s this as an appetizer before Metroid Prime 4… as a Super Metroid, Zero Misson, Samus Returns, and Fusion fan, I see this as the MAIN COURSE.

Elden Ring fans: After two years we've finally gotten a release date! Metroid fans: After 15 years we've finally gotten a release date!

I love how even they had to admit they slept on this franchise for 19 years.

This game looks so good… it deserves an E. M. M. I. Award!

Coming back here after beating the game, I can tell you all it was absolutely worth the wait.

Metroid fans eating for the second time in 11 years let's go

Metroid Dread actually existing and releasing is like the Metroid equivalent of discovering that aliens exist. I still can't believe it.

As someone who works in audio production, I really appreciate the high attention to detail in the sound design and music in this game. It’s incredibly complimentary to the visuals

The giant robot: Samus, give me the plant.

In case anyone isn't aware, Metroid Dread has been the rumored next 2D installment since Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It was originally planned and canceled on the Nintendo DS back in 2005. It was even put as an easter egg in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as a cheeky joke because it had been rumored for a couple years even by that point. This game has been the source of so many memes, speculation, and dashed hopes for the past sixteen years (June 2005 - June 2021).

THE METROID DREAD PROJECT IS ALMOST COMPLETE

Sorry Zelda fans, but this was the true highlight of E3.

Seeing anything Metroid related getting over 1 million views is godsend to me. Samus getting the rightful attention it deserves is 14 years overdue.

After over a decade of rumors, Metroid Dread is finally real.

*Experiment status report update. Metroid Project "Dread" is nearing the final stages of completion.*

From almost dead, to reborn, to game of the year. Metroid is back and this time, it's here to stay.

More people bought the game than the number of people who viewed this trailer, that’s actually insane for the Metroid franchise!

I can't believe its coming! I remember being in Middle School discussing the rumored Metroid Dread during Lunch. Now almost 20 years later, I'm on a Lunch break discussing Metroid Dread with my colleagues! Can't wait to finally play this one. I love the chasing mechanism they got going here.

I’m not even a Metroid fan but I’m so thrilled that it’s back

Literally everyone watching E3: I thought you were dead. Metroid dread: My death was... greatly exaggerated.

People died waiting for a sequel to Metroid Fusion.

A moment of Rememberance to the Fans of Metroid, no longer with us, to see this game happen.

Waited over half my life. Worth it.

I can't believe I survived long enough to see this come to fruition. I got in an accident a couple weeks ago so this was the greatest pick me up.

From a scrapped DS project to an award winning game that's sold over 3 million units. Bravo MercurySteam, bravo.

Never thought I'd see Samus take on General Grievous.

Even though hes died 37 times, been cloned, a robot, robot clone. You know ridley will show up lol

Little did we know, this was all actual gameplay footage

“Hello, this is the part where I kill you!” Said the EMMI calmly. 1:02

This is fabulous news.

I literally cannot believe we're finally seeing a sequel to Metroid: Fusion, and to top it off, it's the actual METROID DREAD. _INSANE._

This is actually 2D Metroid's first console game since 1994; the others were just on handheld.

As a Spaniard, knowing that a studio based in my country is co-developing a Metroid game makes me really proud. I can see a big future for our videogame industry. EDIT: Metroid Dread is now the most critically acclaimed game developed in Spain, and also the first one nominated for Game Of The Year. How cool is that? EDIT 2: So, there have been cases of crunch and other really bad things like names that should appear but do not in the credits of the game. It's not the first time this has happened in the development of a Metroid game since Retro Studios experienced the same when making Prime 1, and it's a shame that history repeats itself. I'm still proud of every single person from my country who contributed on the development of Dread, along with the final product, however, I'm not fine with the treatment that people suffered inside the studio, and if someone needs to be judge for them actions, let them be. Enjoy the game, it's the least you can do, but keep this in mind, el fin no justifica los medios.

Surprised to see an actual alive Chozo, while also thinking it probably explains the existence of a robot that seems to be immune to Samus's tech.

Metroid Fusion Samus: _"Finally, the galaxy is at peace..."_ HAL 9000: _"I am sorry, Samus...That is something that I can not allow to happen"_

Shame that this trailer included a typed out *_'Metroid 5'_* text, yet the full game omitted it! That (and the lack of different ending time Samus animations), is my only annoyance with Dread. Top 3 in the entire series! :D

As a non metroid fan, this is pretty cool.

19 years. We had to wait 19 years to see what happens after the X parasite. Its finally over, i cant wait. Now please bring back starfox and fzero next

Yes! Metroid Dread trailer has 1 Million views! See Nintendo, people want more Metroid! Edit: Aye, 2 million views now! Come on Metroid fans, let's keep it going!. Shout out to Alex Reyes for notifying me of this milestone!

Dude, this trailer literally has more views than the entire E3 Presentation. Thats amazing! Finally metroid gets the love it deserves

Who would've thought the word "Dread" could conjure so much joy?

AND THE AWARD FOR MOST UNEXPECTED ANNOUNCMENT OF THE DIRECT GOES TO...

I can’t believe Fusion is getting a SEQUEL LETS GO!!!

Imo, this was the biggest announcement for Nintendo at E3

*Metroid 5* Yes! FINALLY! *METROID DREAD.* HOLY SNAP ITS ALIVE! ITS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

I feel like we aren’t talking about the creepy chittering sound that the EMMI makes enough. I think the SAX footsteps might finally have a contender for “most terrifying sound in a Metroid game”

Welcome to Metroid: Dread! After 15 years of development, we hope it was worth the wait.

I can't wait to go on this adventure.

Just beat the game 100% my reaction seeing this live was definitely justified, completely met my expectations

For those who are a little confused by the "Metroid 5" business... Metroid (NES) - Metroid 1 Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy) - Metroid 2 Super Metroid (SNES) - Metroid 3 Metroid Fusion (GBA) - Metroid 4 Therefore, Metroid Dread is Metroid 5.

The only dread I’m feeling right now is for my bank account.

One of those trailers I have to rewatch every so often.

This is for sure going to be my first Metroid game.

I have waited 19 years for this.. It looks so good!!

"Metroid Dread is real" Nintendo, I should've never doubted you

Living Chozo at 1:32 We've only ever met Chozo as statues, robots, or ghosts, but never alive

One freaking year ago already!? Where does the time go, so much has happened in one year alone.

I've never played a Metroid game (because I thought the games were too scary as a kid). I sure as heck am going to play through all of them now!!

"Metroid prime 4 is still in developement, but we decided to release a new metroid title for metroid fans to enjoy while we still work on metroid prime 4"

This is probably the best Metroid game ever made, after beating this, I can say that with full confidence.

The animations are insane. When the Robot thing(I forgot it’s name) chases Samus. It doesn’t even change direction conventionally. It just uses its hind legs to climb and corrects positioning after its climbed up the ledges.

Now that was unexpected...and it looks FANTASTIC.

“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you..”

Everytime I’m sad I come here to remember this happened

Fun Fact: Metroid in Chozo language means “ultimate warrior” Metroid were made by Chozos to destroy Parasite X and being that ultimates warriors Even if Samus lost Metroid’s DNA, she still being the Ultimate warrior of her galaxy That’s why this saga cannot change its name in future games

When someone asks you to define what pure Joy feels like, just point them to this announcement trailer.

literally everyone: *walks up the stairs* 8 year old me: 0:45

The Hunter has returned to us.

I literally squealed like a schoolgirl when I saw 'Metroid 5'. I damn near passed out when I saw it say 'Metroid Dread'!! After 20 years, it's finally here!!!

"Experiment status report update. Metroid project "Dread" is nearing the final stages of completion."

Happy 2 Year anniversary Metroid : Dread 😎

The sound design is so satisfying.

*"Dread* it. Run from it. Metroid still arrives."

Honestly, my favorite part about the EMMI is that the way that they move is eerily reminiscent to how a lot of real-life robots move, right down to the abnormal rotation and reach of their appendages, subtle, uncanny precision and purpose of each individual gesture, and just the complete inorganic imitation of organic motion.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since this gem was announced

This game is already almost a year old, crazy I still remember how much I freaked out at this reveal, how I ended up rewatching the trailers nearly every day in excitement, totally in disbelief that my most anticipated game of all time for 15+ years was real, non-stop forming theories in my head about what would happen in the story. So glad it turned out to be every bit as amazing as they made it look in the marketing and maybe even some more.

With the insanity of the reveal itself, I haven’t seen anyone talking about it, but it’s very interesting that this game seems to features a living Chozo. I’m curious if it connects to the mysterious 11th chozo memory in Samus returns

Metroid Fusion walked so that Metroid Dread could run

game of the year right here.

i did play it on release worth every single cent games rly great

I cannot express how happy and excited I am!

I can't be the only one here that is losing their mind at seeing an actual living Chozo. It's there. It's moving. And it looks so cool. Now is it a flashback, or is this going to be an actual moment where we get to meet and see a Chozo?

Hope this games sells well enough to save the franchise.

Samus finally played the 1990 game mega man 3 and thought wow sliding looks cool I should try that

Dont mind me, just watching this for the 50th time today.

Imagine how many Metroid fans died before seeing Dread finally becoming a reality.

It's almost been one whole year since this trailer hit and became my most anticipated game of 2021. And boy, did it exceed my expectations! Metroid Dread is far and beyond my favorite game of all time. The controls, the map, the bosses, the animations, everything is just top notch. I've beaten it at least 20 times, twice on hard with 100% of items in under 4 hours and I have even gotten to Raven Beak on Dread Mode! Thank you, Nintendo and Mercury Steam.

1:36 So I’m guessing that yellow bar is for Aeion abilities. Especially because when Samus becomes invisible the bar begins to drain.

I've waited nearly 2 decades for this moment. Nintendo won E3.

These guys really understand Metroid. The series is evolving in the right direction, it has the vibe and looks, and I just hope it plays and feels as good. Good job!

Lets go, lets push the remaining 10'000 views till we hit 2 million right when the game releases and call it a day, it was a fun 4 months from reveal to release 🔥

1:32 IS THAT THE SAME CHOZO FROM THE 11TH PICTURE IN M:SR?!

1. Thank you for bringing back the Samus who shoots first and asks questions after she blows up whatever ship or planet she's on. 2. Thank you for bringing back the close range combat from the Samus Returns Remake. 3. Thank you for bringing back good ol' fashioned 2-D gameplay. 4. Thank you for never giving up on making this. We've been waiting since... What? Metroid Prime 3? 5. Thank you for the Metroid series in general.

"GIVE ME THE PLANT, SAMUS."

The way the robot moved was just... unsettling.

And it's a sidescroller...YES!

They said it was a myth, they said it was cancelled, that it was never real... Good thing they put emphasis on the "was" never real.
