Actually reminds me more of this

But this song does also have a bit of a slowed down Ridley feel to it in parts of the melody
EDIT: Wait a sec as the comments point out this theme is also a remix of Arachnis X from Fusion, the veins go deeper and deeper it seems. Does make sense since 'ol Arachnus originally showed up in Metroid II, so maybe that's what it's based on?

Yeah, it's based on Arachnus' theme. Arachnus didn't have a theme in Metroid II: Return of Samus, but Arachnus-X in Metroid Fusion did:

One thing to note: Yoshio Sakamoto was not involved in Metroid II: Return of Samus, but he is involved with Metroid: Samus Returns. Metroid: Samus Returns is meant to be a "re-imagination" of Metroid II: Return of Samus, with new abilities, and other things that we may not have seen. In every Metroid game that Yoshio Sakamoto has been involved with, Ridley has been included. Yoshio Sakamoto was also responsible for Miitomo, which recently had the Metroid promotion that included the Ridley pet. If Ridley does get included in Metroid: Samus Returns, it won't be as a boss, but via a cameo at the end, in my opinion.

Ridley_Prime · Jun 16, 2017

I actually forgot Sakamoto wasn't involved with the original Metroid II, though knew he was with mostly everything else. Still glad this remake of it became his shot at redemption though after Other M, and how many have already let go of their hate for the man. All things considered, this Metroid II remake was perfectly well timed, even though we normally ought to have gotten it a long time ago, but hey, it makes "Samus Returns" better titled than originally intended, because now she really has returned and is back with us again after all these years of absence. <3

Also great that Kenji Yamamoto's back as the composer. I know Other M had a few or couple good tracks (an obvious being the latest Ridley theme), but the game's music still suffered without his touch, among the game's other obvious problems.

I can imagine Samus Returns's ending to be Super's beginning, with Ridley infiltrating the Ceres Colony during the very last seconds of the game, and thus hinting a Super remake as well.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking too. It would be a nice tie in. Though if they do eventually do a remake for Super Metroid, I hope it's on Nintendo Switch.

Ridley_Prime · Jun 16, 2017

I know Super ironically wasn't one of the top selling in the series, but it's kind of irrelevant in the face of how it impacted gaming as a whole, which lead to Castlevania Symphony of the Night and other "Metroidvania" type stuff. A remake of it wouldn't be necessary as with the original Metroid and II with how well it still holds up (and Super in its own way WAS a remake of Metroid NES when ya think about it, before Zero Mission came along as such), but a Super remake would still be appreciated nonetheless, even though I doubt they could fully recapture the perfection it was in 1994...

A Distant Demon · Jun 16, 2017

We have to remember that Ridley's theme wasn't originally Ridley's theme, and only became that over time.

In Super Metroid it was used for Draygon and the escape as well.

Also, I wouldnt be too hopeful about Ridley in Samus returns since there isnt really any real reason to have him show up. We do overhype him here a bit haha.

But that doesnt mean we should give up suppose. After all, Space Pirates Never Falter

Agreed, the reasons they've given for remaking Metroid and Metroid II have been that the games haven't aged well and actually needed complete overhauls as far as both gameplay and the worlds go. A Super Metroid remake would be one of the most pointless remakes I can think of, the game is often being used to teach upcoming game designers both the fundamentals and the depth of actually making a game, from a design point of view it's an absolute masterpiece. Sure you can bring the graphics and sounds up to date, but at that point it just becomes a HD remaster, and it's not even necessary either as the 16-bit graphics are actually really effective in capturing the atmosphere (as is also the case with other SNES games like Super Castlevania IV).

I'd understand a HD remake of the Prime trilogy as 3D games only benefit from that, but other than that I feel like we're good as far as Metroid remakes go, I don't want it to get to the same point as Pokémon has gotten where remakes have become completely pointless for any other reason than to try and fix design flaws.

The site's acting kinda screwy so I'm posting my tweets instead of just the gifs. Ridley might make a return soon

Zem-raj · Jun 19, 2017

Whilst I think if Ridley appears in Metroid: Samus Returns it would be via a post credits cameo, him being a bonus boss would be neat. Even better if he was a secret final boss. From what I've seen, Ridley has appeared in every Metroid title that Yoshio Sakamoto has been involved in. He even appeared in Miitomo, an app that Yoshio Sakamoto was involved in, and came with 5 variations (which no-one expected). Having Ridley not appear in Metroid: Samus Returns would be both a surprise and not a surprise - the former because of what I mentioned previously, and the latter because Ridley wasn't in Metroid II: The Return of Samus. The main thing to remember is: Metroid: Samus Returns (a project Yoshio Sakamoto is directing) is a "re-imagining" of Metroid II: The Return of Samus (a project that Yoshio Sakamoto wasn't involved with), and we've seen examples of features added that weren't in the original, so maybe Ridley will be added here in some form. Then again, we shouldn't get too carried away. Let's just hope for the best, and definitely support the game regardless.

I think it might actually happen as Sakamoto confirmed more bosses and stuff, meaning Metroid II is getting the Zero Mission treatment with a post game

Wiinner159 · Jun 19, 2017

We'll see, I'm still expecting him to take the back seat in Samus Returns but if he does return I would be content.

Super Metroid you dummy

I snagged it off of NeoGAF, no timestamp as far as I'm aware.

Also, I'd like to note that Ridley's last chronological appearance before Samus Returns had red eyes lime this sneaky red eyed guy has. (Prime 3)

uhh
I know, I answered it in the second sentence

Ridley_Prime · Jun 19, 2017

Hm... What about a more finished version of the Ridley robot from Zero Mission? I know it wasn't that well done there as a boss, but the concept could still be easily improved upon, especially if the real Ridley's still recooperating after Prime 3 and during Metroid II. The Ridley Robot Mark II would of course be complete with wings and other parts the original model lacked.

Again, I'm not all for shoehorning him into every game since even he needs a break every now and then to stay fresh (then again, the series has been on a break for awhile itself, so whatever), but just a thought.

And yeah, the insecure connection with this place kinda worried me last night and was wondering if it was just me. I think the site just got improperly configured for a bit when someone was doing a change/update, but it happens.

If that's Ridley, his nostrils are much higher up on his face than they've ever been.

. It's wishful thinking but I can't help but feel Ridley will be added in the post game as Samus Returns seems to be an apology letter about Other M, and Ridley being one of the most popular non-Samus characters

N3ON · Jun 19, 2017

I could see Ridley being added just because he's really popular and this game doesn't seem to be a 1:1 remake.

That thing in the background doesn't look like Ridley to me tho.

If that were the case, the visible breath of the nostrils wouldn't be making a ^ shape.

Cutie Gwen · Jun 19, 2017

ok, because of the Ridley discussion I decided to listwn to Ridley's theme and found out Ridley X from Fusion's beak is like I suggested AND has red eyes. Huh. Not saying it's 100% him, but that's a funny coincidence

If facing the camera in a neutral state (i.e. not roaring), the breath from the nostrils would be lower than the creature in the background.

The trail of breath starts right below the eyes. You overlayed the Meta Ridley image to where he's breathing from the sides of his face.

A Distant Demon · Jun 19, 2017

Has Ridley ever blew smoke out of his nose? It seems super weird that he would do it here.

But on the one-in-a-million chance that this is Ridley, it would be utterly spectacular i he got a small redesign to ft Metroid 2 here and wound up being fit for smash AND relevan at the same time. It would be awesome, but also very infeasible.

Admittedly, my extremely powerful hype-dampeners are still starting to fail from this

Zebei said:

No, but it's something that dragons and dragon-like creatures do.

Maybe it's something that Ridley can do too, I mean:

We didn't expect Ridley to be the reason why Samus became an orphan, trained by the Chozo, joined the Galactic Federation (and eventually leaving it), and became a Bounty Hunter (Pre-Metroid).
We didn't expect Ridley to be able to build a robot version of himself (Mecha Ridley, Zero Mission).
We didn't expect Ridley to get cybernetically enhanced (Prime).
We didn't expect Ridley to be enhanced further by being given Phazon (Prime 3).
We didn't expect Ridley to be canonically killed and cloned (Super, Other M).
We didn't expect Ridley's clone to have evolved from an evil white furby with chicken legs and then a furry lizard.
We didn't expect Ridley's clone to have been killed by the Metroid Queen, rather than Samus (Other M).
We didn't expect Ridley's clone (corpse) to appear in the BSL Station freezing chamber (Fusion).
We didn't expect Ridley's clone corpse to shatter into pieces and the DNA copied by a Core-X (X Parasite).

If we learn something new about Ridley in each game, isn't that worth something?

Looking at the boss list from every Sakamoto game, they have problems - some have too many eyes, some don't have the right eye colour, the majority can't breathe smoke or fire, the majority don't have nostrils, many of them are native to Planet Zebes (and have no way to move planets), some don't exist in this part of the timeline.

Either this creature in the background is a new boss, or is Ridley (possibly with a slightly different design). Can't see it being anything else.

I can't tell if this is being serious or not since it seems just as straw-graspy as the notsogood 'ol Smash 4 speculation days. Background elements exist guys, sometimes things are back there just to add to the aesthetic, no need to make a mountain out of this red, eye-shaped molehill.

It's not straw grasping, it's an observation.

That thing in the background is probably just nothing worth looking at, just an extra detail to add depths to the planet.

Edit: Even if the background creature is a boss, it wouldn't be the first time that a boss was teased in the background. In Metroid Fusion, Nightmare's shadow moved in the background before his boss battle.

Nevertheless, in the end I still stand by my belief that if Ridley does get included in Metroid: Samus Returns, it won't be as a boss, but via a cameo at the end, and nothing more. Having a boss role here would be a bonus.

Not completely solid, but Prime 4 to possibly come 2018.

http://gonintendo.com/stories/283466-nintendo-pegs-metroid-prime-4-pokemon-switch-for-2018-update

For those still struggling though to find and get a Switch due to stock, selling out, and stuff (not just myself but in general), I'd prefer 2019 or something if anything unless the Switch becomes easier to obtain before then, but will have to see how that all goes... At least got Samus Returns pre-ordered for the time being. The amiibos are nice and all, but I'm honestly more interested in the other extras like the soundtrack. =p

Didn't they just announce that Prime 4 had just gone into development? Like... that would mean a year's development... something's not right here. If it's planned to be out in 2018, they should have been working on it for a few years. By the way they worded it, it's like they only just started on it =/

I'd like to pre-order the special edition, but no UK retailer has it listed yet. Been looking out for it every day, no luck yet. I'll be getting the Metroid amiibo too. Would be nice if Ridley got an amiibo in the future... I'd buy multiple if he did, no joke.

It was said metroid was announced extra early, so a delay certainly isnt out of tge qurstuon.

I'm sure they've been working on MP4 longer than that, but decided to be tight lipped about it till this recent E3 when its development was somewhere closer to being done I guess... assuming it's to be released 2018 anyway, but I'm doubting that at the moment. Plus it could always be delayed/pushed back a bit further which Nintendo's had a habit of doing with a number of games.
edit: Was just ninja'd on that point. xD

Dang, well hope you manage to find the special edition eventually, but I understand you UK folks have an exclusive deal with it or something, so that's cool, but would also explain why you haven't been able to find it yet due to selling out. And yep...
