    Now this is all the details I wanted to know about my #1 favortie Nintendo series.
    I never been a fan of IGN and I never will but just this once thanks to thier impressions of this preview I couldn’t be any more exicted for a Metroid game^^.

    The switch between 2D and 3D mechanic sounds interesting now that I have a rough idea of how it works.
