Metroid: Zero Mission Impressions

The next Metroid game in development for the Game Boy Advance was tucked away in Nintendo's booth and was unfortunately not playable. However, what is being shown on Metroid: Zero Missions seems to imply that the game is a remake of the original NES Metroid with some new areas and bosses. In addition, it seems as though Samus will be equipped with some of her skills from Super Metroid, such as the dash, which lets her smash through walls.

Some of the old levels from the game were clearly present, such as the opening area in the original Metroid, where Samus comes down the elevator and finds the morph ball just off to the left. One of the new levels in the game takes place outside and looks similar to the opening area in Super Metroid, with rain pouring down on a rocky terrain. We'll have more on Metroid: Zero Mission soon.
