>canon

why do people care if something is canon? its all fake anyways or are you too retarded to realize?

>>380653215
Metroid has no story.

>>380653480

Because the whole game literally never happened
Its like playing a fanfic

>>380653831
You didn't answer my question.
WHO.
CARES.

Couldn't give a flying fuck about this game. Samus Returns is where it's at.

>>380653940

You should

The story is some hot blonde in power armor shoots aliens until they die

>he cares about the deep and engaging story of the metroid series

>>380653831
metroid has fun lore but the story doesn't really matter. its not like most of metroid is one fan's story or vision either

all metroid games are canon, not that I'd give a shit otherwise

>Metroid "lore"
>every game "is go here and kill jellyfish and pirates"

Try harder

Anon, you know video games aren't real, right?

>>380653215
>story matters more than gameplay

>>380653215
I get to shoot people in 3D with an arm cannon.

It's not often I get to do this.

that's how it felt playing Other M

>>380654089
Why exactly should I care if it happened in the main timeline or not?

except Pinball, all the other Metroids are on the same timeline

>>380653215
because we might get mother brain back bby

It's extremely difficult to get a Metroid to evolve outside of SR388 so breeding cold resistance onto the larval stage actually has a point

>>380653215
>Nintendo literally said Prime games are not cannon

Maybe after seeing what garbage Other M was they decided to bring Prime back into canon instead.

Also maybe Nintendo actually said that the prime games aren't Ganon which would be right.

>>380654234
HAS HE BEEN EATING THOSE?!

The exact word is that they have little impact to the series's overall plot.

They did not directly but Other M threw the Prime games out of canon. Then again according to >>380658521 it threw EVERY GAME out of the canon

>>380653215
Who cares if it's cannon or not, the Prime games are super fun.

>>380653215
That's not true. Sakamoto called a side story.
Which is exactly what they are.

>>380662396
>"regardless of the story"
>mentions the authorization system

If you ignore the story the authorization system is functionally identical to every other Metroid game's upgrade system.

because prime is better than metroid

>>380654089
Why?

I'll like whatever I fucking want.

>>380663464
It's far less satisfying to have abilities unlock mid-boss fight than to actually find them in the world.

And it led to stupid shit like the power bomb part of the final boss where you don't even know you have the ability to use an item because you never physically received it.

Whining about canon in Metroid is like whining about canon in Mario. It's missing the point.
