Already pre-ordered this puppy. Did so the instant Jeremy "Mr Metroidvania" Parish did a writeup on it for GameSpite.
Yes and yes. Wayforward is bearing the 2D torch with pride, and I for one am greatful. Can't wait to get my hands on this!
I love the idea of the game about aliens...they kind of challenging to me...love also the graphics of aliens..looking forward to beat aliens up...girl power!!~

Wow. Not what I expected but actually MUCH BETTER than I expected! I will be pre-ordering this bad boy fo sho.
@Lawrencek-I remember Abuse. I played the hell out of that when I was a teen. That, and Descent. Memories...
Can NOT wait for this game. Sounds like it will create a new page in the Handheld Epic Handbook.
Also, the marine in the middle looks like the result if Wolverine and Cable had a baby.

Hello gaming industry
it's me, Rob.
I'd just like to let you know that, contrary to popular belief, i am, in fact, NOT made of money.
Sure, fall and winter are great times to release games! You've got that holiday rush to help boost sales! JOY!.
But i am afraid that this year, there are too many Battlefield 3's, Dead Island's, and Skyrim's coming out at once.
Alas, i am not made of money

Metroid is my favorite video game series, and Alien & Aliens are two of my favorite science fiction films, coupled with the fantastic WayForward developing this, and it's being developed for my favorite videogame system (DS/3DS). This just hits all my buttons.
Welp, I'm sold. "Metroidvania" is a great word to use when marketing a game to a person like me.
What's funny about this is that, unless my info is wrong, Metroid was inspired by the Alien movies. Hearing that the very thing it was inspired by is going to have a game that plays like a 2D Metroidvania, knowing that the last nonlinear 2D Metroid game was Super, is sorta amusing.
Here's hoping the game introduces some new forms of exploration. I love Metroidvanias and love exploring, but this "genre" hasn't really introduced too many unique gameplay functions in regards to exploration and the series that I think would be most likely to do so hasn't been allowed to move past a certain game and probably hasn't been allowed too much creativity in that area for the sake of continuity...

As you and I seem to be floating the same boat, I thought I might as well mention that a bit of this game's ideas come from the never-actually-used screenplay that William Gibson wrote in the 80's for Alien 3.
Also, DO WANT.
