Nintendo began streaming an overview trailer on Thursday for Metroid: Samus Returns, its remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus for Nintendo 3DS. The video previews Samus' various attacks and abilities in the game.
The game will ship on September 15. The game will have a special edition that includes a 25-track "Samus Archives" CD with songs from the franchise's history.
Nintendo will also release new amiibo figurines for Samus Aran and a Metroid. They will be compatible with Metroid: Samus Returns.
Nintendo released the original Metroid II: Return of Samus game for Game Boy in 1991 and ported it to Nintendo 3DS in 2011 via the Virtual Console.
A fan remake of Metroid II shut down last year after receiving a DMCA notice from Nintendo of America.
Nintendo also announced Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo Switch in June.
