Metroid: Samus Returns is an action-adventure game developed by Nintendo EPD and MercurySteam and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. It is a remake of the 1991 Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus, the second remake title in the series following Metroid: Zero Mission. Players control protagonist Samus Aran, a bounty hunter who is contracted by the Galactic Federation to exterminate the parasitic Metroid species on their home planet of SR388.
While the story and structure parallel the original game, Samus Returns features updated graphics, controls, and new gameplay mechanics not yet seen in 2D Metroid games, such as a melee counterattack and the ability to aim freely at any angle. Development began in 2015, overseen by longtime producer Yoshio Sakamoto. The game received positive reviews for its visuals and improvements over the original, with many deeming it a return to form for the franchise. Sakamoto was impressed with MercurySteam's understanding of the series, leading to their continued partnership for Metroid Dread on the Nintendo Switch.
In the year 20X5, a lone bounty hunter named Samus Aran is sent by the Galactic Federation to infiltrate the Space Pirate base on the planet Zebes, where she foils the Pirates' plans to use the parasitic organisms called Metroids and defeats the Pirate leader, the Mother Brain. Seeing the threat posed by the Metroids, the Federation sends a special squadron of elite soldiers to the Metroids' home planet of SR388 to investigate, but the squadron soon goes missing. After retrieving a small sampling of data confirming a Metroid presence within the planet, the Federation sends Samus to SR388 to destroy the species.
