GAME #263: METROID: SAMUS RETURNS
ABOUT:
Metroid: Samus Returns is a action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD and published by Nintendo. It is a remake of the 1991 game Metroid II: Return of Samus. The game follows bounty hunter Samus Aran on her mission to eradicate the Metroids from their home planet, SR388, before the Space Pirates can obtain them. Players must find and exterminate the Metroids to progress.
