Metroid: Samus Returns — 5 tips before your mission on SR388 begins

Metroid: Samus Returns is now out for the 3DS, finally giving us a new, 2D adventure in Nintendo’s sci-fi series. I loved it. If you’ve ever enjoyed Metroid, you’ll want to bust out your 3DS for this one (yes, even if you retired it after getting a Switch).

But even though Samus Returns is a homage to the great Game Boy classic Metroid 2: The Return of Samus, it’s almost a new game. And while its mechanics will be familiar to anyone who played the classic Super Metroid, it has new features and abilities.
