I thought my Metroid marathon was done but I saw this in the store for 10 dollars and I remembered I had a 3ds and that can play ds games. So I got it and physically played it on a physical 3ds which was really cute of me to do that. Every aspect of this little demo thing is cute + precious. The controls are giga fucked tho. U can move with the stick or the d pad or XYAB for some reason, shoot with the bumpers, and move your camera by dragging ur finger across the bottom half of ur ds. to jump u tap ur finger on the bottom half of ur ds twice and to change to missiles u press a button on there, to change to morph ball bla bla u get the idea. There’s not much to do here but i had fun for like 5 mins. Worth 10 dollars and digging out my 3ds for? Absolutely fucking not. But tbh I feel I’ve been overlooking the 3ds. It’s more portable than the switch and i can comfortably take it on the bus with me and not get robbed. I’ll play Samus returns I guess. I did see it at the store and it was still $60 tho so… yea u understand why I haven’t really ever been much of a Nintendo fella. Even tho I’m replaying mgs4, my Metroid marathon will continue to march forth. I’m still not gonna play other m though.

For a free demo this game sure used all its potential.

I had the demo which came with my first DS back in the day. Didn't buy the full game for (see all other reviews).

The only time you'll see metroids on prime hunters

Best demo of all time lmao played this shit all the day on the fuckin schoolbus while the older kids blasted eminem from the backseat


A bad tech demo that was impressive at the time for never having seen 3D graphics on a handheld before. Looking back it's hard to remember what it was like to be impressed by this. It controls badly, clearing rooms of enemies is more annoying than fun, and the morph ball stuff is just tedious. It's aged poorly, but I'm pretty sure it simply was never actually good in the first place.

would be better if it wasn't a tech demo lol
but gameplay was pretty nice
i liked the multiplayer on it too that was fun for what it was

I only played this demo version that came with my DS, never the real version 😅. It blew me away for a handheld game at the time though!

A very small tech demo. its pretty fun but you have like one level to mess around with.

Pretty cool I got this for free with the DS. I did not have fun with this though.

Cool. Impressive how well this runs on an original DS in 2004, no less. Wished I had the full game.

No me gustan las demos que se introducen como un producto completo y en puto físico con caja y todo

I don't think you can overstate how awesome it was to get your DS with this bundled in, for some reason a full 3D FPS on the DS was just really damn cool.

basically a tech demo. hand-cramping controls aside it's pretty ambitious for the time and works well enough
