Metroid Megathread

[starseeker300]

I got you tomorrow, they're mostly SNES/GBA but I'll dig up some NES/GB ones if they're not already in Repo.

cool, i dont got experience with nes stuff but ill do my best regardless

Admittedly, I don't gove enough love to this series. I really need to force myself to play Return of Samus, but I'm color-picky and have to wait until I can play the fan colorization on a large screen like my computer.

Lord knows I have enough Metroid hacks, though..

I think that the white characters and environment in pitch black background is better for atmosphere.

 

[ThatOneLum ThatOneLum]

It took me until like 2 months ago to finally beat Dread, and it had me hungry to revisit the older game in the series.

Might install Prime Trilogy on my Wii or something. I've had enough 2D metroidvania for now, time for some 3D fun.

I think that the white characters and environment in pitch black background is better for atmosphere.

I forgot to tell that:

It feels so empty

I feel like this is why the Super Metroid also had those high pitched noises in its intro.

Spoiler: Metroid II end-game area

I also largely prefer the Nest/Lab and Sudden Metroid Spike themes from the original over AM2R and Samus Returns:

These remakes are good but are kinda missing something imo:

Shit puts me to sleep.
I can't even watch black & white movies because they put me to sleep. I used to go to bed watching black & white TV, that's why.

Well, I did the best I could and I couldn't get the file to not be too huge, so unless I do 'em one at a time for the ones you want, I can't send anything over 19mb.

That said, here's what I have but we're missing on the Repo:

Super Metroid
Metroid Legacy
Super Metroid - But I Hate You
Super Metroid - Galactic Marine
Super Metroid - Snow Globe
Super Metroid - So Little Garden
Super Metroid - So Little Piracy
Super Metroid - Subversion
Super Metroid - Wet Winter

Metroid Fusion
Adam Please
Metroid - Crystal
Metroid - Oil Spill
Metroid Fusion TS

Zero Mission
Metroid - Castle
Metroid - Engage Ridley
Metroid - Freezeflame 1 & 2
Metroid - Initialize
Metroid - Operation Execution
Metroid - Other ZM
Metroid - Spooky Mission 1 & 2
Metroid - SR387

I have always loved Metroid from playing the very first one on the nes. But the NPC guy in metroid prime 4 is something I don't understand. I hope it's just for the tutorial part. But if it's not, then I'm sure it will be rated like metroid the other M. And the graphics remind me of a halo game. I hope I'm not disappointed when it comes out.

 

[starseeker300]

And the graphics remind me of a halo game.

do you mean that as a good thing or bad thing, because personally the games looks gorgeous from what I've seen so far, aside from that open area with the bike which i like to refer to as hyrule field because i think it was serve the same purpose as that area did in oot.

anyways hyrule field looks kinda mid in my opinion mostly because its pretty empty but the rest the game is chef's kiss so far

It's Space Opera.

Metroid Fusion
Adam Please

Can we talk about this one? Wtf is Adam Please lmao

 

[Pickle surprise]

So just saw the previews for Prime 4 and while the game looks gorgeous, what in hell were they thinking with this Myles character? First off, he looks like the annoying long lost brother of the Medic from Team Fortress 2 so just in a visual sense he does not gel with the Metroid series but even more jarringly, what is with this Whedon-esque dialogue that is constantly interrupting your gameplay? This is one of the most boneheaded moves I think I have seen a developer make, especially a studio like Retro Studios which have had extensive experience with the Metroid series and did such a great job translating it into 3D. It feels like they watched the Poochie episode of the Simpsons and took the complete opposite message from it. I would like to think his presence in the game will be minimal but still why have him there at all? I really can understand the outrage around this character because this decision just spits in the face of everything the series represents.

From the site description:
"
Strange things are happening over Europe, and Adam has dispatched Samus to investigate, travel through colorful and dangerous environments such as Space Elevator, Acid Factory and a flying battleship just to name a few.

Features: Exciting Adam conversations! Exciting seven areas to explore! Exciting platforming challenges that put your Fusion skills to the test, will you impress Adam, or are you just another lady who should go back to non-gender-specific tasks?

Note: Requires knowledge of some basic Fusion tricks like Jump Extend and jumping down from platforms."

Update: Well, I didn't know I was missing these, but I found like 15 hacks I thought I had, and I also ended up downloading like 30 other ones aside from  that. So yeah, I got more to update that list..

But fuckin' MetroidConstruction is down and I can't finish downloading all of 'em

Wish they'd make me a Repo Curator so I could just upload 'em

There is an easy fix for the Myles character in Prime 4, if one is so inclined.
Just switch the game audio to Japanese and patch out the english voice acting.
It will probably be a bit less annoying. I've been playing BOTW continuously with Japanese audio turned on from day one. Now the english version sounds wrong to me whenever I hear it.

Yeah, I'll probably skip on that one sadly...

Also putting Prime 1 and Super as the best two is a bit of the easy/obvious answer.

MP4 is leaking! You know that one guy everyone hates? Turns out you have to babysit him the ENTIRE GAME and he never shuts up! I'm optimistic!

My experience with Metroid:

1) "Samus Returns" on 3ds, loved it
2) "Metroid Federation" on 3ds in single player, a bit difficult sometimes but I've liked it
3) Tried the ds title ("Hunters") but I quit after keeping on dying on one boss
4) Tried "Dread" on Switch, great atmosphere but being chased by those robots felt too much, real sense of anxiety so I quit

At the moment I don't feel the need for other Metroid experiences, "Samus Returns" has left me good memories

Humans in Toy Story 1 were objectively awful (Andy's friends are clones of him with different clothes too) yet I still love that scene.

I like old style memes like that.

 

[iamthemilkman]

The Metroid Prime 4 dialogue is so bad. Graphics look fantastic, though. Easily the best looking Nintendo game in ages.

I don't care much about story and dialogues in Metroid/Nintendo games but if it's awful that'd be hard.

Nice. Even better than Air Riders or Pikmin 4?

The art style is also what interests me the most.

no specific spoilers, but how long is myles (mcu quip guy) actually around?
like how much screen time does he take up?​
