    Love it!
    2017.12 review:The game is amazing! I’ve bought 2DS only to play this Metroid:) it’s just a shame Nintendo didn’t release it on the Switch with higher screen resolution...2018.08 update:I’ve decided to play it again on the “hard” mode, took me almost 15 hours now to complete (19h first time on normal difficulty), still love this game, I’ll probably play it again in some time. It’s just annoying it’s not out on the Switch because I own Nintendo DS only to play this single Metroid game...
