We’ve transcribed all text that was present in gameplay footage shown today, either during the Nintendo Treehouse: Live showcase, or in footage provided by other outlets. This includes scan text, onscreen tutorials, and GF Trooper dialogue.
We can confirm that, at least for now, there is no dubbing for the Japanese version of the game. Famitsu’s clip reveals that the English voice acting is retained with Japanese subtitles.
The transcript is as follows:
It is Cosmic Year 20X9.
Determined to defeat Samus and the Galactic Federation, Sylux and his army of Space Pirates launched a series of attacks on Federation Research Facilities.
It is believed the Space Pirates are being controlled by Metroids that have the ability to fuse with other life-forms and control their minds.
Now, on Planet Tanamaar in the Desolan System, another Federation Research Facility is being attacked.
Galactic Federation HQ received their distress call and dispatched Samus, who was on a reconnaissance mission nearby…

Alien Morphology: Aberax
Large officer in the Space Pirate army. Metroid fusion

Metabolic energy surges become uncontrollable when
all lenses have been destroyed. This causes recurring
energy releases directly from its core via the orifice in
its abdomen until the lenses regenerate.
