Aside from masterfully recreating the original Game Boy game, this intense, side-scrolling action platformer will feature some new content not seen from the original game. New content such as brand new abilities that utilizes a mysterious energy resource called "Aeion", a powerful melee counterattack, and 360-degree Free Aim Mode.
Metroid: Samus Returns is set for a September 15 release only on the Nintendo 3DS.
