It's a Metroid thread again, men.

Not on my watch.

I have some good news for you guys. Incase you haven't been following, the Metroid 2 remake is making some good progress. The dev says they've nearly finished on the 5th area, and after that will just be minor boss tweaking, and the concept for the Metroid Queen. My money is on it releasing sometime this year.
The next Metroid game needs to focus on an isolated planet hunting Metroids. Metroid II is still my favorite game of the series.

Thinking about playing Fusion or Metroid II
Super Metroid is the most game ever.
>>322991467
yes
>>322991467
The mostest truly
>>322990658
Can you imagine Samus running around like this, her fat ass cheeks wobbling as she moves.
>>322991232
I should play zero mission now that I configured my GBA emulator to work with my dualshock 3. a lot of games play so much smoother than with the GBA Dpad>>322991186

Can't argue with that.
Tubes?
what would you think of a remake of metroid 1, with the same lookalike halls and sense of being lost, but with a map system?

Pick one

>>322993579
super metroid managed to do it. Not like "where the fuck am I" lost, but "where the fuck am I supposed to GO" lost
>>322993654
You should have specified, and even in that case, that's pretty much zero mission
>>322993751
I liked zero misison. A lot. But the teleporting chozo statues sucked
>>322993548
You can get lost with a map. Especially in the Metroid Prime games where the 3D map didn't hlep in many cases.

>there's literally a door on top of another door and you can't tell on the 3D map
>>322993654
>Not knowing where to go in super metorid
I haven't felt that in a long time.

What's a good romhack for any of the 2D games?
>>322993831
Very few games give the same sense of being lost whilst having a comparable atmosphere.
>>322993950
There one for the NES, Metroid Captive, looks nice but I haven't played it.
There also Rogue Dawn which is unreleased
>>322993327
Why not just play the original? The game isn't too expansive and one can get around decently without a map, or you could just make your own
>>322995834
I do
but a remake could have ZM graphics, and ledge grabbing. And fix the penalty after death

I'd love to see a proper remake of the original Metroids. I'd say from Metroid up to Super.
What's Metroid's equivalent to Zelda Universe?
>>322995665
This made me more emotional than it should have.
Keep it going, friends!

That image is making me think of what Metroid would be like if it played more like Ghouls and Ghosts in that your suit degrades per hit.
Super Metroid has some real creepy music
How many of you are actual fans of Metroid and not just fans of Samus pics? I worry most of you posting here just like the character and what she does to your dick.
>>322999472
Is it possible to be both?
>>322999994
So, you aren't a Metroid fan.
Fine and well.
Sadly Nintendo doesn't want to really deal with the mainline Metroid and I feel Retro is kind of done with the Prime games.
I kind of get what they were trying to do with Fusion. Change it up so there's an element of stealth with instead of feeling like a super powered god you are pretty weak even late into the game. Sadly they forced a annoying long monologue with rooms being cut off because of plot which felt so unlike Metroid.
Other M however was just pure bad.
SO, should I play Zero Mission or the original as my first Metroid?
>>323001437
Zero Mission's fine. NES version would be hell to put up with.
>>323001437
I honestly can't stand the original. Every room looks the fucking same to me making navigation a bitch.
>>323001437
The real problem with NES Metroid is a lot of the game looks the same and there's not really any landmarks to get your bearings straight. Another problem is when you start a save file you start with only 50 health with a pain (save states fixes that problem). If you are fine with that go and enjoy the NES. But personally Zero Mission is the best Metroid game.
>>323001860
What about for when I go into Super? Doesn't Zero Mission improve on Super in terms of gameplay?
>>323002046
>Samus with a Chaingun
For fucks sake, what is this?

My body is ready.

Episode of Aether, an official (but non-canon) manga about Metroid Prime 2.

>>323002410
One of the mangas. Can't remember if Sakamoto considers it canon or not.
>>323002182
What are you asking precisely?
I honestly don't know how zero mission is since I've never played it, I hear good things about it though. However, super is typically considered the best metroid, if that helps at all.
>>323002182
Yes and no. Super's gameplay and physics fit the pacing of the game pretty well while ZM's fit the more fast paced handheld gameplay that game has. It did objectively improve some things, like the clunky ass item selection scheme Super had, but the other criticisms people have with it are more of less subjective. If you're against the idea of playing the original Metroid and you don't like playing them out of release order, just start with Super and then play ZM. It's not like there's a lot of story to grasp from the games anyway.
I wonder how hard it would be to convince Samus to pose in her blue sports bra and shorts for me.
I'll miss Samus.
>>323002182
I recall preferring the Zero Mission controls. Forgot the specifics but I remember being bothered by how limited the button mapping in Super was (something about not getting a perfectly comfortable aim up/aim down/ run scheme) but ZM's controls are streamlined enough that I didn't have issues.
