35th Anniversary of Metroid

First screen of Metroid

Well, look at that, it only takes a new Metroid title and Nintendo finally acknowledges one of the anniversaries of the franchise. It's been 35 years since Metroid was released for the Famicom and effectively what's Nintendo Sci-Fi version of The Legend of Zelda was born. And now it's time to celebrate the series for real. Happy Birthday, Metroid!

Anyway, we always knew that these anniversaries are just marketing ploys, but it still would be nice to get something more for Metroid this time around. An equivalent to Hyrule Historia would be awesome.

For now Nintendo has shared a new video, which confirms that Metroid Dread will really tie in to the secret gallery item from Metroid: Samus Returns, where a new side of the Chozo was presented to us. This could be exciting.
