E3 2017: Metroid: Samus Returns announced for 3DS; Gameplay revealed

Samus is back!

We didn't just get one Metroid announcement from Nintendo today, oh no, we actually got two Metroid announcements. Nintendo followed up their announcement for Metroid Prime 4 being in development for the Nintendo Switch with a follow-up announcement of Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS.

The trailer came with the following description:

Metroid: Samus Returns is an action-packed, side-scrolling shooter which has been remade to include engaging and immersive 3D visuals and a rich, atmospheric color palette. Metroid: Samus Returns launches September 15, 2017.

It's safe to say that Nintendo killed their E3 2017 presentation!
