I had no idea pressing B makes Samus run faster. So when I reached an apparently infamous bridge and asked on Miiverse, some bitch ass ninthing (who's probably a brony too) noob-trolled me. Fuck you.

the first time i played super metroid i actualy had the same problem

Fuck, I really want a proper Zero Mission remake of Metroid 2.

I do too just to have a new 2D Metroid, but what's required to fix it would make it unrecognizable as Metroid 2.

I love the shit out of Symphony, but Super Metroid is better. Symphony throws more quantity into the mix, but the quality of it all is very uneven compared to Super Metroid.

For me, I go Super Metroid, Symphony, Zero Mission, Aria, then the rest of both series as you like so long as Harmony of Dissonance and Metroid 2 are at the bottom.

Fuck, I really want a proper Zero Mission remake of Metroid 2.

whenever i visit japan, let me buy you beer.

Zero Mission is fun to play but it is so damn hand-holdy.

Himu · « **Reply #7992 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:07:43 AM »

No it isn't. It suggests where to go but the sequence breaking is the best in the series.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #7993 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:10:16 AM »

do you guys find sequence break stuff on your own or look it up? I don't think I've found glitchy stuff in a game, ever

except abusable mechanics/AI in action games, but that's a lot simpler than a sequence break or zip.

Himu · « **Reply #7994 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:11:44 AM »

A big part of the draw of Zero Mission is that the sequence breaking is out in the open at the very beginning of the game because it says HERE IS FINAL BOSS, GET TO IT. You can go the standard way, with the game guiding you where to go, or use creativity, which the game supplies you with ample ammo to do so.

tiesto · « **Reply #7995 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:13:36 AM »

I know a lot of people love it, but I didn't particularly care for the Zero Mission epilogue. The rest of the game is pretty awesome though. Being a veteran of the original, I breezed through it pretty easily, so I like Super Metroid (which has more in the way of content) much better. Fusion was decent too, although a bit too linear.

I've only played a bit of Metroid 2 on my cousin's GB, but never played it all the way through. I expected a Zero Mission type remake of the game for the longest time but once again Nintendo disappoints

Never played Other M, and don't particularly care for the Primes.

Himu · « **Reply #7996 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:15:19 AM »

In regards to difficulty, I actually find Super and Zero Mission about on par with each other. Though, to be fair, I never beat Metroid nes because it's a piece of shit.

I'm having fun with Super Metroid, it's a good game... but I have to admit that I'm still a little bit disappointed by some of its aspects. I don't know if something is wrong with me or why it's not clicking as much as I was hoping. :'(

I mean, I acknowledge the game's feats, from the freedom, to the secrets, all the way to sequence breaking as Positive put it. However, I'm still not satisfied with how Samus controls, especially her weapons. The enemies have been blah so far, boring in both design and behavior. The levels are still not stimulating from both a visual and a design standpoint, not to mention being too cramped (though one might argue the claustrophobic nature is intentional).

It probably comes down to my expectations, not for being too high or low, but being in the wrong category. The game is known for speedruns, so I'm sure with enough time and practice things *will* click and the experience will flow so much better and smoother.

In the meantime though, my appreciation for SotN have grown tremendously now that I'm able to discern what it copied and what brought* to the table.

*Using "brought" loosely here, since it heavily borrowed from previous CV games.

The game is VERY open to how you want to tackle it. It also does an incredible job of awarding curiosity and experimentation. The realisation kicks in just how porous the already nonlinear level design is. So much so that with enough wit you can ...

you know what? Look up bomb jumping, shinespark techniques, and the walljump mechanic. Ive been improvising on this playthrough using those techniques and feeling like the smartest dweeb alive.

As for the controls, theyre cludgy. Tap the gamepad screen and open the customization menu. I suggest
zr-point down
r- point up
zl- run
a- jump
x- shoot

everything else the same. Much easier to dash into jumps while charging the cannon.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #8012 on:** May 16, 2013, 08:46:16 PM »

Interesting.

Again, I feel like I'm still looking at the game from the wrong angle, wanting more from the wrong pools when I should be changing my approach. I also have a feeling that it's gonna be one of those games where the entirety of my first playthrough will be spent (re)adjusting expectations, with the payoff and enjoyment coming in the second run.

But I agree that I should try to remap my controls. I have to be careful this time not to cancel the run button though.

Pronunciation?

Got to the Maridia tube before shutting it off yesterday. Still an awesome game. That thread on GAF about people not knowing how to morph ball is great/funny... but I think a lot of people forget what it was like to be a kid. I couldn't always breeze through this game knowing it like the back of my hand, there was a time when it was new to me- and I didn't have Miiverse around to show me up for it...

I had to be told about the tube IIRC... I remember getting help with entering Dark World dungeon 2 in Link to the Past, and one of the light/dark world puzzles that involved using the magic mirror in a specific place... that's another game easily breezed through when you know what to do

While people are rightly praising its design in that thread, there are things that have only in recent years started to feel dated to me -- like the wall jumping mechanics: newer games have retroactively made wall jumping feel crap, it makes me wish the shinespark and screw attack came earlier in the game.
