It looks like a Wii game at best, maybe even Gamecube.

And its not like the Switch isnt capable of better, Luigis Mansion 3 looks fucking incredible. Seems like they just lazily threw this game together to make up for Metroid Prime 4 getting re-started from scratch.

I honestly wish they would have went with a 2D style like Super Metroid or Fusion.

Not that hybrid 2.5D shit. Full on sprites and and everything.

I think that they could make a fantastic game that looks perfect.

It looks good...just hard to appreciate graphic details from afar in a 2d game.

The resolution and framerate are really bad but the worst part is the lazy untextured appearance of all of the platforms

I think the explosions and lasers look unpolished, and the environments don't pop with color like most Metroid games. They're too bland.

Claiming it looks like a Wii or GameCube game is just wrong though.

the gameplay looks tight, and i buy games to play them, not to look at them, so it doesn't bother me.

I admit that I'd probably prefer a sprite-based look, but I don't think the game looks bad at all.

I am not trolling. I don't think it looks impressive and sorta like a mid budget product.

This is a me opinion and you are free to feel otherwise

I honestly can't comprehend this take. The most recent footage looks incredible.

A lot of people saw a heavily watered down resolution due to the stream, and this notion snowballed with the cell-shaded graphics that naturally can have a washed out or flat look when theyre at their worst. Nintendo is a little counterintuitive on that note. Their pre-release stuff tends to actually look way worse than the final product. The inverse is true with Sony & Microsoft.

*edit
  • I think people are also catching onto some of the style, engine, and templates they used (which have a bit of an indie/retro feel, and it works for Metroid really well from what I can see)


having giant globs, lasers, & arcs of colorful light everywhere doesnt help. That was the main complain about Samus Returns. chaos
