Metroid Megathread

[Mr. SyS]

no specific spoilers, but how long is myles (mcu quip guy) actually around?​

like how much screen time does he take up?​

Whole game. WHOLE GAME. You have to babysit him and his squad even in boss battles.

I told Tanabe-san that since the flower in Super Mario Bros Wonder was so popular he should put the same character into Metroid!

Oof.

Check out this dialogue. It's Dragon Age: The Veilguard bad.

I like the design of those new aliens.

I'll try the game soon enough today, hopefully it will still be fun to play. I'm not expecting a masterpiece after some critics I've heard and common in so many reviews. But I'm sure I will still enjoy it to some extent.

It's Dragon Age: The Veilguard bad.

While I expected it I think it's not on the same level as "I've accidentally misgendered you so I'm doing pushups" or "Hello, so I'm non binary", it's just that the characters are being overly excited over Samus as if they're self-inserted fans of the franchise. (It's like she's a movie/rockstar lol).

Something I liked about Samus is that despite her unique backstory she's not a chosen one, just a child from a colony that was retrieved by natives and went through hard training.

In a way, if you put it like that, Metroid is basically the tale of a girl from a British settlement that got destroyed by pirates so she was saved by native americans to become part of their tribe as she went through their trials and rituals.

I've heard that some of the Halo 4 people were behind this new game. I got the Halo vibes from that prologue mission.

Ah shame it's not with Bungie devs, the people behind the actually good Halo games.

Anyone else having trouble with the control scheme in Metroid Prime 4? I remapped mine to feel more like the GameCube layout. For instance, putting missiles onto Switch's 'x' button feels so much more natural, mimicking the 'y' button position on a GameCube controller. Suddenly combat became easier!

(And the visor button is now L for me, which works very well!)

I have to say, I was still struggling with whether the 'a' button should be morph-ball or blast. It's in the right position to be morph-ball, but my mind keeps going, "This is the 'a' button!"
For now, it feels okay on 'y.'
