Lmfao

Start with Super M or zero mission if you're into the 2d ones, if you like them then play through them in order of release

Go through prime in order of release, I'm sure its obvious but you can probably skip Other M unless you want to get a full grasp on everything in the series

This is gonna flop harder than Star Fox Zero. FUCKING SCREEN CAP THIS.

metroid prime is garbage

it's basically baby's first fps

when kiddos only had a cube instead of an xbox they played this because it was "just as good as halo if not better"

not really, no

2D: Zero Mission, Super Metroid, Fusion.
Play the original and Return of Samus if you want as well. AM2R is a fan remake of RoS, you can play that instead.

3D: Play the primes in order.

>>380780825
2D:
1.) Zero Mission (or the original Metroid if you're feeling nostalgic/hardcore)
2.) I would recommend playing Metroid II: Return of Samus but you can skip it if you want. It's super clunky and hard to finish so I'd understand if you skip it
3.) Super Metroid
4.) Fusion

3D:
Play the Prime games in order of release
Don't really need to play Hunters if you don't want to
Definitely don't need to play Federation Force

metroid was pretty much a flawless series up until other m

it's why the game being "that" terrible shocked everyone

Switch hype alone guarantees that's not happening. Like they're at what already, 3 million sold in 3 months? At the end of the year, they could possibly have 8 or 9 million sold if the production ramps up enough by then.

As far as 2d either of the gameboy advance titles are fine to start, from there expand out to Super, AM2R and maybe the NES and GB originals of 1 and 2 depending on how tolerant you are of super old games.

>>380782778

What does pretend-fan even mean.

The two most important games to play are Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. There are many other good games, but those two are the absolute essential.

>>380782771
I'd strongly advice that anybody getting into the series STARTS with one, rather than two games at once, no matter which.

Christ, it bugged me even more when I was excited over MGS5 and trying to figure out what it was gonna be about. He kept telling people he was a huge MGS fan and that he's played them all until I spoke to him about it and he'd only played MGS4 a ltitle bit and never touched the others. He doesn't like old games.

>>380782778
More? Metroid, obviously, since it's far better known. BGE probably has a higher proportion though.

It depends on if you care to play the 2D games. If so, play Zero Mission, Super Metroid, and Metroid fusion. Then play Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3 in that order. You can skip Prime Hunters, Other M, and Federation Force.

>>380780825
I've made recommendations for the series multiple times here. no idea if people actually listened but ill put my 2 cents in anyways.

There are 2 ways you can play it (which I would recommend over any other way): Story and release order

if you want story play like this:
Zero Mission >Prime 1 > Prime Hunters >Prime 2 > Prime 3 >FF optional > Prime 4 if thats out by then > AM2R (and/or the new M2 remake coming) > Super >other M optional > fusion

NOW. If you just want to play the games and enjoy the series in general but dont care about hte lore too much, Start with super and work your way up by year of release from there.

OPTIONAL GAMES IN THE FRANCHISE:
>NES original
>GB Metroid 2
>Pinball
>Federation Force
>Other M

some of thes are if you can deal with older games and want to appreciate the series' evolution. Other M is just bad but technically follows Super. Federation Force isn't as bad as people say. it was just frustrating because it came at a time when we had a drought of anything and fans wanted a big game, not an in between story. If you play FF though, I would suggest having at least one friend to play it with as its designed generally around multiplayer.

And as a side thing, I'm actually looking for a copy of the game again because I wanted to complete my series collection. Literally the only game I don't have. Well, and Metroid Pinball too I guess but I'm not sure it completely counts like that.

Super Metroid for old 2D, Fusion or Zero Mission for newish 2D. Prime 1 for 3D, IMO the games get weaker as the series goes on but they're all pretty damn good. There's a remake of Metroid 2 coming out for the 3DS and it looks good but MercurySteam is developing it so I'm wary of it.

>>380784772
Everyone knows that game is whatever.

>>380780825
Prime 1 is literally the only great game in the series

2 is good but it has his flaws like even more linear plot. Multiplayer was the shit though

3 is meh

>>380784973
I didn't buy Link between worlds because I thought it was shit. I was pretty wrong. I dont really like the artstyle for FF but its not that bad if you care more about gameplay. and its a cute game to co-op with a friend. Just dont pay full price. I got 2 copies for $40

>>380780825
Start with Zero Mission and then Play Prime. Thats the canon order and you get to enjoy both 2D and 3D

>>380784772
No words on a Metroid game for years, even when a system like the 3DS OBVIOUSLY needs a Metroid title.
They release the most random spin off possible nobody gives a shit about.
10k sales who would have guessed. But a fucking title for MP4 has 1M views. It really makes you think.

>>380780825
fingers crossed that Samus is actually trans in this one. Considering how long Nintendo has teased it, it will be nice to get some confirmation

>>380782778

You can play anything except Other M and Federation Force. They'e all great games, except those two.

Start with Super and Prime. If you like Super then play Zero Mission and Fusion, and then play the first 2 games if you're still hungry for more. If you like Prime then play its two sequels and then Hunters if you're again hungry for more. If I didn't list it here, it's safe to ignore.

Super Metroid is the word of god to them and the fact that Prime 1 gets praised so highly makes them go into full defensive mode.

The fact of the matter is every Metroid game has its ups and downs and all of the ones people actually bother to talk about are pretty good.

>>380786153
The original version of Metroid 2 is extremely clunky and very difficult by sheer virtue of the screen being so small. AM2R is a very good choice if you want to experience the story and basic idea of the gameplay.

>>380780825
I don't know why I'm excited for this, but other people are so I guess I am too.

>2d

Fusion is babby's first metroid and a decent introduction to some basic concepts. It's pretty fun but many hardcore fans don't like it so much since it has next to no sequence breaks and the idea of a biome-space-lab is kinda corny.. and wwaayy too much fucking talking from Hal-ripoff-3000

>Zero Mission

The medium of the 2d games. Very solid. Fast, a few sequence breaks and actually looks like a standard metroid game. The zero-suit part is practically jumping the shark but it's still fun and a good retelling of the original story. It should absolutely be played before Super Metroid since Super takes place on the same planet after this one's events.

>Metroid 2 (AM2R)

Just play the fan made one. The original is arguably bad. AM2R is actually perdy gud if not a little unpolished in some places but thats just because it's fan made. Not necessary to play though.

>Super Metroid

The game that started an entire genre of games. The first time people play it, they find it to be a pseudo fetch-quest game with little direction. Once you know the map layout and you know the developer tricks, the game opens up in a totally new way. you stop thinking of the game as a linear fetch quest and instead as a totally open game with a variety of ways of play depending on how hard you want it to be. For fuck's sake you can literally. LITERALLY beat the bosses in reverse order with no major glitches or out-of-bounds bullshit with enough practice. Also there are a ton of rom hacks once you are enlightened. Redesign is daunting and really tough if not unfair at times but it thoroughly scratches the itch if you really want more content. There are plenty of other amazing roms too that I'll let you look up if you really want

>Prime 1-2
1 is a 'safe' transition for metroid into 3d and decent. Prime 2 is fucking great. fuck the haters.

Prime was always questionable in how the suit worked. Like Metroid Prime pulled off the Phazon Suit, but left the Gravity Suit, and then altered it with Phazon to make her Dark Samus apparently.

She's only ever seen in the Zero Suit in Zero Mission, where her fucking suit gets destroyed and she can't magic it back and she has to find another one.

I like how a logo for a shitty game probably not even 10% developed, out no earlier than q4 2019 was worthy of a mention during their direct, while an actual concrete proper sidescroller metroid with updated concepts didn't even get acknowledged til later on the live stream where people were no longer even watching.

It's as retarded as underclocking a tegra x1 below a k1, or launching a console out of fucking nowhere with unsurprisngly few games for it.

nu-nintendo is bizarre. It's like every day is opposite day at their headquarters.

>>380782778
The fact that a lot of these faggots didn't know MP4 was a Metroid game from the Screw Attack logo or that Samus Returns was a Metroid II remake just by looking at the jumping Hornoad said much about their casualness.

>>380794661
Metroid Prime was never very fun. It was cinematic but the combat was absolutely awful MML "lock-on shoot and strafe while dodging everything" tier. Since all they did was announce a logo without gameplay footage I'm just going to assume they're not changing that.

>>380795530
The fuck dude? The 3ds metroid is entirely dissimilar to metroid 2. Have you ever even played Metroid 2? It was absolutely terrible. The level design sucked cocks, the screen was zoomed in to the point of not being able to see 10ft in front of samus, with a heavy reliance on the spider ball to do basically anything or get anywhere. It is disingenous to call the 3DS metroid a Metroid 2 remake solely because a single familiar mob was present.

the suit comes from samus not the zero suit, the zero suit is just a body glove worn under the power suit because it's comfortable.

Man I'm kinda glad I never played other M now, they really did make her a weak bitch. This is the same faggot that's making Metroid 2's official remake? Good fucking lord.

>>380796237
You only find Hornoad on SR388 faggot, and the only games that deal with that planet is Metroid II and Fusion.

It was obvious from the start what this was.

>>380780825
Metroid/Zero Mission
Metroid II/Samus Returns
Super Metroid
Metroid Fusion

Prime games are spin offs so you can decide for your self.

It's been a really really long fucking time anon. Also when E3 was all around that lackluster and full of more of the exact same stuff we've been getting for the last decade or so it doesn't take much more than the unveiling of a new Metroid Prime games logo on Nintendo Direct to run away with things.

I find it even more amusing that this and Death Stranding are already ranking in Amazon preorders globally though. Like sorry but I need some sort of proof of concept before I'd even consider plunking down a temporary pre-order. God forget I somehow forget I did it and actually have to pay for something I don't want.

>>380796749
That faggot has been there since the beggining, problem is that the guy who had actual talent (Gunpei Yoko) died in a car crash and Sakamoto was given too much power for Other: M.

He also waifus Samus hard like into creepy levels.

I'd say Metroid Prime or Zero Mission would be the best place to start. They're the most accessible for each style of the franchise. Not to say they're average, if anything they're paragon of what modern game quality should aspire to.

He implies that there are true fans in the Metroid community. That's why no-one bought FE because it's shit. For someone who hasn't played a Metroid game will definitely enjoy it.

The game itself isn't even that good.
You use the Wiimote sideways (D-Pad in a 3D environment) and if you want to shoot rockets, the game goes into firstperson and you have to aim with the WiiMote. It's years since I played it but this was what annoyed me the most.

I'll note that Metroid games are not really shooting games. The First Person Metroids are played with one stick, with a lock-on button for combat. It's not at all like a FPS like Halo or whatever. Those who say it is have never played it. Fuck those people.

Metroid is more about exploring and finding your way through dense labyrinths and finding power-ups to progress further into the world. It's easy to get lost if you don't experiment with the power-ups you acquire and where to use them. It's a great feeling of accomplishment when you solve a puzzle using a new tool you just found.

I started with Metroid Prime, the first one in 3D, released in 2002. It's a magnificent and immersive game. It won several GOTY awards and it is still a marvel to this day.

With 2D Metroid, I started with AM2R, that unnoficial fan-made remake of Metroid 2 on the GameBoy that Nintendo hates so much, lol. I loved it so much I checked out the rest of the 2D Metroids and now I'm a big fan of the series.
Most would agree Super Metroid is the best 2D game, but I'd suggest AM2R first, because it's free and great for those who are curious about jumping into the series. It's so well-made, you could mistake it for an official game.
Here's a link to give it a try if you want.
https://digiex.net/threads/am2r-another-metroid-2-remake-download-metroid-2-fan-remake.14793/

I'd avoid the ones on the NES and GameBoy. They are severely outdated. Play the remakes instead (Zero Mission is a remake of the NES Metroid.)
I've not played Other M or Fedoration Force.

>>380803842
A man of taste right here. Torvus to me is the best location in the entire Metroid Universe.

>>380803120
>Skytown Elysia

skytown was great, just sad that it was the only remotely original level in the entire game

everything else was just rehashes of the prime levels

>>380781136
>______ is gonna flip

>>380803842
That place is comfy and all until you go underwater and go to the dark world of that area.

Metroid sells on the same nostalgia shit Star Wars does, that's why Star Wars can show footage of the Millennium Falcon and people will start bleeding from their noses

Don't mention to Metroid fans though that it's not being made by the same people who developed the previous Metroid Prime titles, and that the last time this happened they got Metroid Other M

Would this be considered monkey's paw?

>Prime 4 being developed by Bethsada
>They use DOOM as their basis for development

>>380781484
It's not an FPS, retard.

>Is metroid really that good? You know what? I want to get into the series. /v/ isn't the perfect place to ask, probably, but i trust you on this one. Where do i start?

There was a thread yesterday exactly word for word about Mario.

Why are you trying to manipulate and shill?

>>380781484
>it's basically baby's first fps
This is how you spot a retard that doesn't know about games. FPS games are usually about wiping trash mobs until you reach the end of a map, while Metroid Prime takes some elements from first person shooters the main point is exploration, abilities and boss battles, it takes elements from fps like good level design as well as taking heavy inspiration from the series to make it's own, unique, great game.

Metroid is more than a shooter and more than a Metroid game, it's the best of both worlds.

>not being made by the same people who developed the previous Metroid Prime titles
Reminder that Retro was a literally who studio before Prime.

>>380781715
I think they can have more games next year, and more games in 2019, just going off games announced but not shown at E3 and game studios that are at a point where they could have another game out.

Yeah you haven't seen nothing yet, there's significant potential for even greater salt next year.

>>380803886
Metroid IS a shooting game if it got turned to 3D. That's how you make it. Prime did Metroid 3D the RIGHT way and it should develop from there. Stop sticking to the past and setting rules for YOUR taste.

>>380806075
Not the point, the studio that makes Metroid Prime 4 could just as well be the next Naughty Dog, but all the people expecting anything resembling previous Prime titles are just as likely to get something akin to Other M

>>380805294
Dark Aether is shitty in a way that makes in endearing. It's BAD to be in, but not UNFUN.

>>380806642

I expect the game to be in first person and to have some form of nonlinear exploration which requires certain power ups to progress further. That's all I expect, everything else is wait and see.

>>380806642
I just want a space archaeology/exploration game with a gun with light horror elements

>>380806642
After O:M flopped I doubt that Nintendo will make the same mistake again. Or at least, I hope so.

how come there are no prime clones?(something that inspired by the original fpa idea)

>>380807454
Because GTA clones make a ton of money, and you know how much the industry loves breaking formula.

>>380807454
Retro got lucky and accidentally made the perfect combination of exploration and action. They even failed to replicate it by the time they developed prime 3.

If anyone tried to copy the prime style, I'm sure it would be an absolute mess where the character either moves too slow because muh tank Samus or way too fucking fast because they don't understand what made Primes exploration satisfying

they are pretty garbage shooters desu

Metroid is definitely more of an Adventure game than a just a straight up shooter though. You do lots of stuff in Metroid Prime like exploring and puzzle solving and of course shooting, but shooting isn't the primary focus like an actual FPS is. That's a fact.

>>380788943
>Suit has to be surgically removed in the beginning of Fusion
It obviously has elements that are essentially magical throughout the whole series, but Other M is literally the only game in which she just magics it on and off.
And Other M contradicts literally every other game in the franchise in multiple ways, so everyone agrees it's non-canon.

>>380803886
>With 2D Metroid, I started with AM2R, that unnoficial fan-made remake of Metroid 2 on the GameBoy that Nintendo hates so much, lol
>nothing to do with Samus Returns

Fuck off

>>380782778
Comparing Metroid's sales and the rabid nearly omnipresent fanbase DEFINITELY Metroid.
Metroid fans mostly pirate/emulate their games and complain why there is no Metroid.

I really can't wait for Samus Returns to flop and let the series die for good.

>>380808698

other m did a lot of things wrong but the power suits being magic-like is not new at all

The suit being pseudo-bird-magic is fine, the pseudo-bird-magic being tied to her mental state is where Other M shit the bed.
