I still haven't played Super Metroid. Is it still any good? Might play it on my PSP.
The new Metroid looks too hectic.

I'm a fan of Shadow Complex and the Igavania's. But I never touched Super Metroid because I'm afraid the game is worse than those two.
If you've played Shadow Complex then you've basically played Super Metroid.:rofl
I'd also like to take this time to reiterate how much I hate the Prime series.
Fuck Metroid Prime.
I'm more appalled that you didnt play it oh... 10 or so years ago
Just when did you start playing the vidya?
gj taking away from discussion of this KICK ASS LOOKING GAME due to crappy thread title MCD>He discuss Wii games.
[youtube=560,345]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXVA_RDzxss[/youtube]Wait, what? Did Smokey do more than one any% run? I ALWAYS thought his was 36 minutes, which is why I aimed for 36 in my own run. Where's Red Scarlet?
thread fixed
I can live with that. Other M looks like shit though. Sakomoto apparently had a fluke success with Super. He always wanted to make it a story oriented series apparently but felt earlier tech was too restrictive. DumDum.
Yeah, anyone praising the original Metroid in earnest is a nostalgiatard. Game blows hard. Oh gee I died, better farm life orbs for half an hour.
:yuck
is m.o.m. gonna have talkie-talkie?
Lol I bricked my psp while updating the firmware. Fucking metroid.

Isn't SNES emulation on DS still basically dead? I have the most recent version of SNEmulDS and it can't run pretty much anything, Super Metroid included
Metroid Prime for the last time is not an fps.
I'll never understand the Prime hate - well, for Prime 1. Amazing, beautiful game
Super Metroid is godlikeThis man is correct.
Zero Mission and Fusion on GBA are both good
transmission ends.
metroid prime was pretty shit imoYou and distantmantra are terrible people. I don't even think nostalgia is an excuse for liking Metroid 2
but i remember liking metroid 2 so my opinion sux
Metroid Prime is the defining game of our generation.::)

it's first person and you shoot a LOT
QuoteMetroid Prime is the defining game of our generation.
i agree partly...
it certainly shows a turn point where the Japanese finally realised they'd forgotten how to make good games and turned to the experts in the west. This was the first big white flag, all hail WESTERN DEVELOPER POWER.
Our Generation will remember this as Japanese surrender to a great power!
The game fucking ruined my PSP. Maybe the gaming Gods are punishing me for not having played the game earlier.
But I shall play it. Soon. I'm going to try the DS SNES emulator. I don't really like playing emulators on the PC.
I'm tired of debating shit regarding metroid prime, so I'll just say that I loved it and leave it there
I'll never understand the Prime hate - well, for Prime 1. Amazing, beautiful game

Buy me Prime trilogy for wii, I will give you a blowjob.
working on it :pirate
edit: oh wait, this is a dual layer game. can't play it since i have no dual layer discs. ffffffuuuuuu
Goddamit, someone pirate this and tell us how the fuck it is.

Well that looks terrible :(That's putting it mildly....goddamn.
pros
-unique gameplay
-reviewer couldn't get into it until late in the game,however it was fun then
cons
-almost no exploration
-over the shoulder view sucks,too slow
-almost no scanning
-unprecise jumping
-too many checkpoints,they also heal you completely
-no health regenerating items anymore
-metroid prime looked better
-abilities will be unlocked by adam and are not found throughout the world
-will split the fanbase
Score:
73%
third doesn't like a wii game? shocker.
you just a pussy ass gamer, mang
What's different about the Cube controller? You're still gonna hit the A button with your right thumb...
I think it looks pretty neat actually...as long as you can skip the cut-scenes...
The giant purple thing? You will fight invisible chameleons that you have to scan to reveal. There's also some other surprises that you have to dodge.
Dodging works like Bayo. Just mash d-pad and she will flip and whoop and scoop anything.
there is no music
I hope iconoclast and demi are right.
seriously, wtfQuotethere is no music
Whaaaat?
well it's not like that there is absolute silence,it's kinda like zelda OOT dungeons,maybe a video is a better exampleQuotethere is no music
Whaaaat?
EDIT: watching the super metroid video i just realized they removed the jingle that played when you found a new item :lol......

Apparently Adam Malkovich is from Fusion... shows how much I care about story in these games
jesus christ
what have nintendo done?
- brandnew probably hate my guts :smugsee? i got this right :smug
The game kinda reminds me of "My First Ninja Gaiden" or something. Like a toned-down version of that engine for the Wii, which I guess makes sense for that crowd. Seems pretty fun so far, and the controls work pretty well overall. The abundance of cut scenes is definitely annoying, but the real-time ones are pretty impressive for the hardware. I think 8/10 will end up being a pretty fitting score.
If you don't go in expecting this to be like a full-on Metroidvania and treat it as a more straight-forward action game, you'll probably enjoy it.
Choosing wiimote only isn't the hardware's fault.
nunchuck would have made the game control for shit... real talk
Just beat this. Overall, I'd say it was really good. My biggest problem with the game is design decisions made most likely due to the hardware. Since you have to hold the remote sideways, they ran out of buttons you could comfortably use, so they wound up mapping the dodge to the dpad. The problem with this is you can just mash the dpad and Samus will automatically dodge every attack and give you a free plasma charge on top of that. You don't need to properly time anything and it makes the game way, way too easy. If there were a dedicated button to dodging and the timing for it were strict (like Ninja Gaiden) I think the game would be a LOT more fun. But still, there's a decent variety of enemies and they all have good attack patterns. Bosses were very fun too. The puzzle sections were also pretty decent. And since it's a Metroid game, there's still tons of hidden upgrades and secret areas to find, so I'm not really sure what more exploration people are looking for. As it is, I think I've collected 34% of the items in the game, so there's a lot of junk to find if you're into that.
The story isn't THAT bad either. It has its moments.
nunchuck would have made the game control for shit... real talk
No.
The nunchuck has two triggers and one analog stick. Would work perfect.
The analog stick for movement. The Z trigger for 1st person view. The C trigger for ball morph.
The B trigger for shooting/dropping bombs. The A button for jumping.
Would work much better than the current shitty wiimote lay out.
I guess this would work for Prime 4... which this isntAnd thank god it isn't. That series got progressively less good. >:(
Is it generally accepted that Prime 2 is better than Prime 2?
the only thing that makes Prime 2 shit is having to warp between dark and light worlds. i hate that mechanic in any videogame.
Yeah, Prime 2 would have been a lot better if they'd dropped the light world/dark world mechanic and just slotted in a new area or two.
So the controls seem hella awkward for this. I thought you could free look in first person, but everytime I go into 1st person I'm locked into just what's exactly in front of me so I have to keep correcting my position in 3rd person then go into first person. Also moving in 3d space on a d-pad is distinguished mentally-challenged. Why doesn't this game use nunchuck.

by all means it's not a bad game but it's as averagish as it gets,if you need a metroid fix just replay super metroid and if you want to play an action game gets monster hunter 3 and play it online
Other M better than Zero Mission lol
Stop enticing me
Ok I'm sorry after that... this just dropped to the bottom of the list jesus christ :lol
Is there a bonus ending if you get all items or ANYTHING?
the plot kinda jumps the shark ala metal gear,but even that it's definitely better than samus moping around so i guess the plot at least improves
The credits rolled and I thought that was the end, but there's apparently more game here. I am trying to clean up items now since I'm here
If you get 100% completion you unlock hard mode, a mode where there are no item pickups meaning you'll have to clear it with 1 energy tank and 10 missiles.
I've actually beaten hard mode now to the credits, but when I go back to my save file I cannot continue on the ship. Is that it? It's weird that the normal game continues after the credits, but not hard mode.
I also didn't get anything.
Other M isnt even a Metroid game... no need to list it on any scale

it is more metroid then the prime games were. You can actually you can get some good sidescrolling action in this one.
meh some low reviews are just because american media wants it lower then the retro studios games. Metroid Other M is actually damn fun, much better than Prime 3 atleast.
Hardly...
I'd be pissed to spend my money on this... go on ebay and buy Prime Trilogy instead

you know some other thing that ticked me off about the plotspoiler (click to show/hide)- the game makes it sounds like a big deal there's a traitor among the group,yet at the end you never discover who it was,everybody ends up dead anyway so what was the entire point of having this plot twist?
- samus meet ridley and gets all scared,what the heck? this is a desperate attempt at characterization at his finest! this scene has happened like a gazillion of times,it makes absolutely no sense other than "QUICK WE NEED CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT"[close]

Oh, I thought we were talking about how good the games were. I really couldn't care less about any characters or story in the Metroid universe.
At least prime 2 TRIED to be a metroid game. I'd say maybe it tried a little too hard. That and all those damn keys, ugh. Prime 3 got decentish reviews because it successfully incorporated the wiimote into improving its control scheme. Combine that novelty with some gracious streamlining of the formula and it was a solid if not spectacular game.
So basically this is the Metroid series' distinguished mentally-challenged cousin and we should all be better for pretending that it never actually existed?
Also, shouldn't Sakamoto know better?
I tried playing through Prime 2 twice just to experience Sanctuary Fortress. Could never make it past dark torvus bog. :(
So basically this is the Metroid series' distinguished mentally-challenged cousin and we should all be better for pretending that it never actually existed?
Also, shouldn't Sakamoto know better?
I am not sure how Sakamoto inherited the father of Metroid title. Gunpei did have some input and the difference between Sakamoto's post-gunpei Metroids and the core Metroids is pretty apparent.
Beyond that, authorial power in games is pretty spread out, especially with a game series that has had different teams across different countries.
I thought Prime 3 was pretty good for what it was. I had a lot of fun with it. This game looks like shit.
was hoping this would be good. would be the first Wii purchase in months and months and months and....
oh well. maybe i should just finish the Prime trilogy then
I want to believe in this game's story because Sakamoto has awesome hair and face and because I don't want to be on the same side as etiolate, but that cutscene looks pretty bad :'(
The whole deal with not being able to use the powerups has to be the worst thing ever. :lol

For storyline purposes it's quite stupid, but it's no different than gaining abilities as you go along in other action games and being stripped of all your shit and needing to find it all again in Metroidvanias.

But in MoMspoiler (click to show/hide)Samus comes across a little chick thing, kinda like gizmo from gremlins. It gradually grows up during the game into Ridley. Except, its not really Ridley then, is it? Its just another space dragon thing.[close]
Even Tiesto likes it because it was made in Japan
Could you imagine if team ninja got their hands on Zelda or some shit?

MP3 was better than MP2.
Now that I'm in full "Never gonna play this game" mode I'm watching a ton of videos to see how bad it really is.no shit
And woo boy.
it's a stinker.
i just realized I can't finish Prime now because i let a friend borrow my Wii :(get a cube like a real man! :smug

BrandNew, do you even own a X360 or Ps3?ehy! >:(
It is proven that Wii-only gamers have poor gaming standards.
I think it's still Metroid, but it definitely feels more Metroid-lite. It certainly feels like Metroid Gaiden. I still thoroughly enjoy it, but the Prime games knew the Metroid atmosphere much more than this does. Doesn't really get in the way of my enjoyment, though, because this game has everything I like about Metroid games: hidden powerups, fun enemy encounters, nostalgic call-backs, and a somewhat, uh, interesting take on the metroid lore. it's cool.
My biggest regret is not getting prime 2.
I guess I'll buy prime trilogy.

umm all the hidden stuff are energy tanks or missiles. Because you already have the weapons on you. That is my biggest gripe with this game, how fun is it to only collect the same items over and over again? It could had used some variation for excitement. And 4 energy parts for one tank? Seriously that is straight out of Zelda.
Videogames shouldn't have stories, period

Story in games isn't the problem, the problem is HOW certain developers implement story into their games. Often the best game stories barely have any cutscenes (Silent Hill 2, Majora's Mask).
It is the worst Metroid game ever. So I'm not surprised.

third, you are unbearable
It's not hard to comprehend. You better believe I skip any cutscene when applicable.
lul. Someone on GAF is complaining that someone spoiled Ridley being in the game.
Fucking really? That's like being SHOCKED that Bowser is in the next Mario game.
It has a sterile look to it, and those stupid endless corridors.
what infomercial?
this is a mistake in so many areas
it's a playable but extremely flawed game, and it lacks the "nintendo polish"
I wouldn't be surprised if they stripped the Metroid characters and told me it was a $20 steam game.

wondering what you're pointing to...I see you bitching about controls in the gaf thread. If you can't figure them out, then I'm gonna say you're just resisting the way the game wants to be played. Like Ninja Gaiden, this game is almost a bit too smooth in the control department. The game's progression is just streamlined Metroid. It couldn't get any less bumpy.
It also requires some strategizing in fights that require missiles. Nintendo fans may not be accustomed to this...I can just imagine people trying to go into first person with 10 enemies closing in on them. The motion is very quick too-- point, lock-on, shoot missile, within about 2 seconds. I had to move my sensor bar more in line with my body to pull it off perfectly.
wait...unpolished? is this the twilight zone?! :lol
BTW
Who the hell was the deleter? The story didn't make any sense. I first thought it was...spoiler (click to show/hide)Anthony[close]

If you're reading the gaf thread then you should be able to figure this out.
The game is always just guessing what you mean to do because of the 2d controls in 3d and the auto-aim. I gave an example there, I'll give it again here.
The game doesn't recognize enemies above your head often, so the game wants me to run out and turn back towards the enemy. I do what the game asks(like you suggest), but then the enemy shoots a projectile. As I press up to move away from the enemy, my back turns to the enemy. I must face the enemy for auto-aim to register it. When I press down to face the enemy, the game guesses what I mean to do and guesses that I mean to sense dodge, so I barrel roll towards the enemy, unleash a charge shot which now flies past the enemy because the game now no longer senses the enemy above my ahead again as in my auto-aim range.
That is not "just how it asks to be played', that is a concept that doesn't work.
Deal with it.
yeah, still no idea. This is one of those obscure "i've been on neogaf, all of its offshoots, whatever neogaf was before neogaf and irc and newsgroups with gaf characters before they joined gaf, so I know everybody and all their quirks, despite having never met them irl" jokes.Man I'm too beastly at video games to be scrounging for e-cred like that. He's not exactly an obscure figure over there

I'm not trying to sense move you dumbass. That's the whole thing.
It's not a departure. It really is nothing like a metroid game. It's just a budget action game.
I am not sure I can finish this game sober.
Who is the final boss?
This game is going to bomb hard. So I don't think we'll be getting a sequel.
I would be interested, though.

it's going to bomb hard because 30 something guys in metallica shirts on message boards say so?
I don't know what it'll do. They advertised it and it has "metroid" in the title. IIRC, Prime 2, 3, and Hunters all didn't do so hot, but here we are with another Metroid game.
yeah, this is way too streamlined to be "more Metroid than Prime." that's why people liked prime-- it was just first person metroid. This is more of an action game with light Metroid elements.
Good news is a sequence break was found and IT WAS RIGHT IN A SPOT I KEPT TRYING TO DO. I just didn't bomb jump right.How much of a time saver? Would it be possible for any bosses to be skipped, or is it more like Fusion in how areas are totally blocked off until the story is progressed?
bad word of mouth
Or better yet, Team Ninja can ditch the Wii for good and make NG3 for 360.
I can already see the early interviews: "We want Ninja Gaiden 3 to be more accessible to all players." that game is gonna be shit.

I've never seen so much sandy vagina surrounding a video game.
Haha, half the Metroid series is average. What standard?
There's still tons of cutscenes. There's a segment with less cutscenes, but its still about 1/3 cutscene 2/3 game in a very short game.QuoteI've never seen so much sandy vagina surrounding a video game.

This is really what I don't get about some folks. Those pictures aren't really breathtaking, but all the NERDS claim uprezing the assets is a night and day difference. I do like some high res textures no doubt but its like a low priority luxury.

Makes a huge difference to what? It could look like Crysis and still be a cruddy game. Like Crysis :lol
Wow I totally forgot Metroid Pinball even existed... lol.
Played it for a few minutes. Escaped the exploding ship and landed on a planet.
Got the roll move but I didn't know how to activate it. Got stuck in that room, so I stopped playing. I though it was a bug in the emulator. But all you have to do is press down twice to activate it. ::)
Going to pick it up again after I've finished reading The Passing (900+ fucking pages)
doesn't the game specify you need to double tap down to go into morph ball or have i been playing metroid games for so long I just ignore that shit by instinct now? :lol
You guys :wag
And no, the game never teaches you on how to use the roll move. Pretty stupid.
