I'm glad there is a new metroid prime, sadly i can't enjoy them because i get motion sickness from most first person games. But i'll be playing the shit out of the new 3ds metroid, i love classic metroid style.
You are lucky actually. I don't own portables but it's high likely a family member (cousin) of mine will get it since he's a huge Nintendo buyer and owns most of the portables. I can probably try the game via him if I ever get the chance.
