Game Description

Once again, Nintendo takes one of its classic franchises and gives it a next-generation update, keeping the fundamentals of character and gameplay while pushing the limits of new hardware. As intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran, your quest is to explore Tallin IV and stop a crew of evil space pirates.

Old favorites like the Freeze and Wave beams will be available, along with a new arsenal of sci-fi weaponry.
