I still haven't played Super Metroid. Is it still any good? Might play it on my PSP.

The new Metroid looks too hectic.

If you've played Shadow Complex then you've basically played Super Metroid.

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.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #7 on:** August 14, 2010, 12:16:07 PM »

It's not worse, just more of the same with SNES graphics. If you like that style of gameplay then why not give it a shot? The Super Metroid ROM is all over the place. Just download it.

Honestly, Super Metroid is only one of a handfull of 16-bit games that I'll bother going back to.

Super Metroid is Nintendo at the top of their game whereas Shadow Complex uses Metroids mechanics minus the brilliance. SC is good, SM is great.

I'm not sure what makes Super Metroid any better than Shadow Complex other than SM being the one that invented the formula. IMO they're basically the same damn game and this is coming from someone that's gone through Super Metroid god only knows how many times.

Nes was my first console. I was 10 when Super Metroid came out. But I rarely played games at that time. Games were too expensive for me and my parents didn't buy me games.
I started to get into "hardcore" gaming when the Playstation came out.

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?

And nevermind. This is single segment.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #25 on:** August 14, 2010, 01:53:51 PM »

Super Metroid and the trilogy version of Metroid Prime 1 are the cream of the crop. I guess super edges out prime because prime has some instances of backtracking for the sake of backtracking whereas super does a good job of funneling you where you need to be without it being obvious.

Himu · « **Reply #26 on:** August 14, 2010, 01:56:20 PM »

super metroid > zero mission > metroid prime

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.

metroid 1 nes sucks

metroid zero mission 4 lyfe

Positive Touch · « **Reply #33 on:** August 14, 2010, 02:40:05 PM »

zero mission fuck yeah!! honestly i like it better just because the level design is fucking perfection. a 100% run flows so good, and the way you can beat the game with only 4 or 5 items is brilliant. super metroid is still the true classic because it just crushed everything else at the time (omg atmosphere).

also lol @ shadow complex being comparable to metroid goodness. the game copies the structure but the level design blows and the combat is dull. you don't even need some of the special items - not because of clever sequence breaking but because there's almost no place you actually need them!

Himu · « **Reply #35 on:** August 14, 2010, 02:45:15 PM »

whether I think zero mission or super is better is dependent on my mood. Right now I'm in a Super mood, but Zero Mission is my overall favorite Metroid.

You can use the battery on it if its old I believe.

You should just use your PS3 controller and a PC emulator.

I still have a phat psp. Ordered a pandora battery for €10. My psp doesn't connect to the PC at all. Don't know how I will fix this.
Good thing I rarely use the PSP otherwise I'd be very mad.

Other M looks really automatic. All the action is flashy but it only controls with the d-pad and two buttons, no? just makes me think of the baby modes from DMC and other action games.

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.

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

etiolate · « **Reply #47 on:** August 14, 2010, 08:42:59 PM »

Other M looks like a bunch of ideas that don't mesh

-classic 2d art and colors but in shiny 3d team ninja graphics in which the color palette becomes oog
-story emphasis but forgetting all rules of game narrative
-2d gameplay in 3d world via limited first person switching and forced camera switches(don't trust team ninja with cameras)

But I still keep hope alive in my little heart
