Sakamoto on Metroid: Samus Returns – what’s new, no ties to Metroid Dread or Prime 4, started 2 years ago
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 33 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo’s Yoshio Sakamoto…
“It’s the same game. … All of the fundamental design is the same … in that the basic map structure is all based off the Metroid II map. Basically what we’ve done is we’ve used this new technology that we have at our fingertips to just polish up what was already there and to improve upon it. Maybe the thing that felt so different was that it was in full color.”
On whether Samus Returns is getting the same expansion as Zero Mission…
“I believe that yes you can go ahead and look forward to some of those same experiences that you had with Zero Mission.”
On whether we’ll get an additional layer of back story like Zero Mission…
“[In] this game there’s a lot of background, there’s a lot of lore involved in this title. But it’s not like a novel or something. It incorporates the lore, but it’s not integral to the gameplay experience. It’s in the background more than in the foreground. There is definitely information for the players to get that revolves around sort of the larger storyline.”

This information comes from a PressFire interview with Mojang CEO Jonas Märtensson…
We’re tying everything together with Xbox Live. So you log in with Xbox Live …
Even on Switch?
Yes. (Laughs) That’s pretty unique as well! But everyone that’s in on this, all the platform holders, have been pretty pragmatic and understanding of that what we’re trying to do is create a good experience for the players. We needed a good system to connect everyone, and Xbox Live is a good system.
