Nintendo of America / YouTube:
Metroid Ravenous, the latest game in the 2D Metroid series, arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 January 28, 2027!
Sure, people are going to be more excited about yesterday’s Zelda remake reveal, but for me, the idea of a new Metroid, let alone a side-scrolling one, is the best game announcement I’ve seen this week.
Add the fact that there seems to be a vampiric element, and you’ve got a Metroid with Castlevania influences, so, yes, truly: a Metroidvania.
Day one.
If you wanted to know about the rest that was revealed — including a new Kirby game — Nintendo has a handy-dandy press release.
