Bad ass Metroid game on 3DS that is 2.5 dimensional. Nothing but a fun game to play and shows the franchise will live on.

Reeee

looks legit good but i'm still not sold on the 3d models

is sprite art really that expensive?

i think even that faggy indie cel shading would've been better. 3ds can't really handle 3d models well enough to be as immersive as i want from metroid

Normalfags legitimately prefer 3D and consider 2D "laziness", so if this question comes from anyone else just let them know this.

>>380939940

Why did they bother to remove it then?

I think the only thing that worries me from the spot played here is the counter attack making the Metroid fights much too easy. The alphas in the original were pretty tame, but could be tricky as they buzzed around the screen.

The zetas and omegas were real bastards because their only vulnerable spots were a little area on their chest. I hope the counter stuff doesn't trivialize their fights, as half the fun of the game was pushing through tense encounters with gammas, zetas, and omegas as the save stations and recharge opportunities got further and further apart.

That being said, I did more or less like what I saw (wall jumps - hopefully single wall jumps are doable!).

They seem to be taking the fusion approach in difficulty
Some hits from the Zetas were doing 2 full energy bars worth of damage and that was only in normal
So the mechanics aren't too difficult but any fuck ups will be punished hard.

Some stuff was if you didn't get the pattern immediately like nightmare or the spider thing.
And enemies did a ton of damage, random mooks were dealing 40+hp a hit and bosses hit especially hard.
This is in comparison to super Metroid where everything just kind of tickles you.

This. It didn't age all that well but I think it still stands well enough. When I was a kid, it was Metroid II which got me to really play and finish a Metroid game. The first Metroid never appealed much to me.

Why didn't Nintendo announce this sooner?

They could've delayed Fed Force a year and just announced them together. Then nobody would have freaked out about Fed Force

To be fair, it's one of the few good songs from the game at all. The game has too many ear-raping and jarring songs. This is one of the ones they got right, because it goes for melody, not for the weird atmosphere they tried to get into other songs.

Now the cool thing is. That Prime took place between 1 and 2. Essentially explaining what Samus did in the down time between those two games. Fusion dealt with SR388 again, going back to a lot of the stuff of Metroid 2, if even just to reference.

Now, it's essentially the same once again. The portable is SR388, it's Metroid 2. The 3d is Prime, but it deals with Sylux, someone that stole Federation tech, as well as a Metroid egg. This will be the tipping point. This will be the thing that causes the Federation to try to research the Metroid homeworld further and when they get blown the fuck out, they send in Samus.

It all comes full circle.

>>380947181
We know it's before fusion?

>>380947236
It more then likely will be. Tanabe said he wanted to do something with Sylux, we see Sylux in Federation Force with a Metroid egg. If they want to do something with Metroids, it has to be before Fusion. Samus in Federation Force also had her old suit and not the Fusion suit. So we know it's timeline placement as well.

>>380947369
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DREAD WHEN

>>380947369
Who says he didn't just sit on it for a few years?

>>380947434
I think they said something once about continuing the series past Fusion, they were just waiting for the right time. More then likely they just don't know where the hell to take it. Fighting against the GF doesn't feel very Metroid like.

>>380946864
he means that whatever takes place during metroid prime 4 BTFOs the federation so hard that they decide to immediately exterminate every last metroid

I just can't trust it 100% that it'll be good with MercurySteam developing, even if Nintendo are overseeing production.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BCPx2SX7Hk

Does anyone know when MP4 will take place? I know we have literally zero info on it, but any guess?

>>380947557
It could be like Alien 3. Put Samus in a prision planet. I think the main problem Nintendo has, is Samus shooting humans.

>>380947880
Literally read the thread.

>>380947557
I don't know why everyone thinks Metroids past Fusion have to be Samus VS GF

>>380947852
Glad he's back.

>>380947797
We've gotten a good hour or so of gameplay footage out of treehouse and such, seems like enough to form to an opinion.

>>380946723
I think with Prime 4 we will go past Fusion. The lab grown metroid egg at the end of Federation Force has to be post Samus Returns/Super, as the federation still had access to natural SR338 metroids before the events of these games, and god knows how long Sylux has been trailing Samus. For all we know sylux views samus as a threat to the galaxy now that she is basically a superweapon(part chozo part x parasite part human) and the metroid he steals is basically a way to take her down.

>>380947797
It already looks way better then the shit that Mercury usually peddles and everyone that's had a hands on says it plays a smooth as butter, which is more then Lord of Shadows can say where every action felt like it was happening seconds after you press the button.

>>380947880
It will probably take place before Metroid 2 still. Story will be Sylux trying to use his pet Metroid as a means of intimidating the GF. Samus gets sent after him. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if we get to see the Metroid evolutions in Prime 4 as well. Samus relays this information to the GF, they freak out that Metroids are even more dangerous then they had expected and send a research and scouting team to SR388, suddenly no response, so they send search and rescue, once again, dead, so they send an extermination squad and still get blown the fuck out.

kek

>>380947557
Well looking at Fusion, Zero Mission, and Samus Returns I already have an idea where I believe they will take it. Fusion dealt with the GF, Zero Mission and Samus Returns expand on the Chozo, so I see Metroid Dread taking place on a Chozo planet with a GF facility built in it, the animals in Samus ship will lead Samus to it and in the game Samus will find out more about those animals, the Chozo and possibly how far the corruption spreads within the GF besides fighting another galactic threat.

>>380948056
Not him but Prime series will always remain between Metroid 1 and 2 because the Metroids were alive then.

I hope you boys like heels. They weren't retconned.

>>380948426
Can't see shit, she looks flat footed to me. Really heels aren't much of an issue, it's that they were 1, so tall and 2, that they made her so short.

Samus should be at least 6 foot even outside her suit, wearing heels should have only made her look taller then that.

>>380948389
Why though? If the main series ever goes past Fusion which is a decidedly metroid free galaxy, then so can the prime games. Primes main thing in the trilogy was always Phazon energy and the metroids existed as a distraction more then anything.

>>380948426
I really don't care.

>>380948213
What I would like it that it takes place after Super but before Fusion. The Federation had to get their new metroids from somewhere and Samus exterminated everything naturally occurring and the Pirates wouldn't be sharing. Maybe Sylux holds onto the metroid and eventually sells it back to the GF in exhange for some new tools to take down Samus.

>>380948759
Because Tanabe wants to use Metroids and they were alive before Samus wiped them out in Metroid II/Samus Returns, that's why.

>>380948839
Conceivably the Space Pirates might have some metroids somewhere in their territory as per Prime they are capable of capturing them on their own. It's the GF that needs Samus to do anything with metroids (Federation Force not withstanding).

>>380946375
>indivisible
nigga that trash is an RPG, valkyrie profile ripoff
get that shit off that list

>>380948759
Because letting Prime series go past Fusion just makes things confusing, esspecilly now that there are so many games with Prime in the title.

It's not just 1-3, it's Hunters and Federation Force as well. All of these games take place in this time frame between 1 and 2. Which was originally suppose to be only a year, but I expect that is getting retconned hard with this remake.

>>380948821
Unlikely, Sylux probably hates the GF more then he hates Samus. He views Samus more as a tool of the GF, take out the GF, the Samus problem gets solved too. I will give you that it makes more sense for the GF to get DNA from this Metroid Sylux has, then trying to salvage the DNA off of Samus' suit in the second Zebes mission in Super, or that they somehow had enough time to get a DNA sample before Ceres exploded.

>>380948821
That's technically Other M. GF scrubbed Samus suit to get metroid dna. Fusion then shows why they did that. Sylux is part of the Prime arc, and that was about the actual Metroid Prime.

>>380948821
I doubt it. IIRC the only reason Sylux hates Samus is because she associates with the Galactic Federation. He hates them primarily, and Samus by extension, not necessarily for anything she's actually done. Working with GF wouldn't really be his first choice when he could potentially sell to the Space Pirates or some other independent.

Super Metroid, then Fusion, Metroid 2, then AM2R if you're up for it.

After that, consider ROM hacks like Hyper Metroid and Project Base for Super Metroid, and Metroid Rogue Dawn for the NES original, though you should at least play the NES original for a bit. It's rough as all hell but still worth looking at.

and then yeah the prime games like that other guy just said, those are all pretty fuckin good.

>>380949212
Well, if you want to play them in order, Metroid 2. If you want a similar experience to Zero Mission, then play AM2R. Super Metroid if you don't care about Metroid 2.

Or you could go for a 3d Adventure and play Prime 1. Takes place between 1 and 2. I hear Dolphin emulates it rather well.

Why Prime next? What's the best order to play them in? I won't play the pinball one or the original Metroid II if AM2R is better. Can any of you guys speak for AM2R who have played Metroid II?

>>380949129
>Because letting Prime series go past Fusion just makes things confusing, esspecilly now that there are so many games with Prime in the title.
This, it's a sub series, it's never supposed to go past the main games, especially since Sakamoto already gave hints of finally pushing the series forward with Metroid Dread (Metroid 5).

>>380949212
Should've started with super tbqh. Play that next, then Fusion. But Metroid is like Zelda for newcomers:

>alttp = super
>oot = prime
>first and second games are rough for youngfags, so play those last

>>380949212
Metroid/Zero Mission
Metroid 2/Samus Returns
Super
Fusion

>>380948821
That could work too. Samus taking on the SR338 job at the beginning of Fusion could be a result of her dealings with Sylux and the lab grown metroids.
>>380948839
Except you know, Samus should have no knowledge of lab grown metroids until after Super, and unfortunately Other M. If there is one thing they are consistent with when it comes to this series is that there is a clear storyline and not even Tanabe would be stupid enough to slap a storyline based on lab grown metroids way before Samus even learns about em. She wouldn't even be in agreeance for the SR mission if she had that knowledge, let alone allow the baby to be taken from her, Prime 4 with the current speculated plot would completely undo the story of Super.

>>380949451
Metroid 2 is dated, there is no getting around it. It's still a fun game, but if you hate being bound to a tiny screen with enemies that will easily hit you when they spawn from off screen, it will get very frustrating.

Prime is recommend simply because it's next in the time line. You'll see references to the fall of Zebes and Pirates evacuating to other strongholds, Ridley's first ressurection and some other stuff.

>>380949632
There are lab-grown Metroids in literally the first game.
The Space Pirates stole one Metroid, and there were several in Tourian.

>>380949681
So how is AM2R as a remake to Samus Returns? Is it like how Zero Mission is to the original?

>>380949632
See>>380949456 and this guy>>380949129

>>380944180
There is no way this wasn't intentional. Maybe it was sneaked in by some employee and overall meant nothing, but 'Metroid Dread' was a HUGE rumor back in that day. To just outright namedrop it like that is no coincidence.

>>380949632
The idea of lab grown Metroids isn't native to Fusion or Other M. The original Metroid was all about Cloning a single Metroid through Mitosis using Beta rays. Samus wouldn't question a bunch of new Metroids showing up unless she saw a bunch of GF symbols on cloning machines and we still don't know where Sylux got the egg, only that he had it.

Right, lab grown by the space pirates. Federation Lab Metroids come much later into the timeline, and that is after the events of Super. If she knew that the same people who were sending her out there to take down the space pirates were doing the same shit the entery timeline collapses into itself. The only way Prime 4 could theoretically work is if she learns about em, agress to destroy SR338, and goes after the baby because she doesn't want the federation to pull the same stunts. But even then that is a stretch as after Other M she should have no reason to work for em with the second BSL incident.

>>380949162
Was that established anywhere? From playing Fusion it sounded like that just happened to be a sample the GF had from Super. I'm not sure what the time gap between Super and Fusion is supposed to be but I doubt it would be such a small amount of time that you could acquire a meaningful amount of metroid cells from whatever was left on the power suit.

>>380950093
How would she figure it out though? Sylux telling her? She has no reason to believe anything he says at that point. Though Samus has been shown in various media as not trusting the GF even at the current time. So this whole "if only she knew" is rather moot.

Aside from that, we don't know when the GF decided to start trying to use Metroids. We know that the one the Space Pirates stole was right from the GF themselves during transport. They could have seen the same potential as a weapon that the Space Pirates saw, otherwise why bring a dangerous creature off world? Their wanting the eradication should also have ultirour motives. It would ensure that the Metroids that are already with the GF would remain hidden and under their control.

Also the Bottle ship had special shit JUST for housing Metroids. There wasn't much time between when Samus was wandering after Super and she picked up the distress call in Other M. So they managed to get that big a stock of Metroids and a fully grown queen? They weren't just cloning them either, they specifically mention that the Queen Metroid was birthing them all. I think they had that place pumping out Metroids long before then. The thing that changed was getting Mother Brain off her suit, not Metroids.

>>380950228
It was always a sketchy plot point. They originally tried to sell it as DNA samples taken from the Baby Metroid just as it arrived at Ceres. Samus did stay for a bit for the scientists to run at least some tests about Metroids energy capabilities. Someone could have left the station before Samus herself left and Ridley attacked.

But then Other M happened and the whole DNA stuff on her suit was gathered right after she was recovered when Zebes exploded. The shockwave knocked her out and she was picked up by a federation vessel waiting for her. They took samples right after the battle, so that was possible too.

In either case, it is likely they were lying or at least half truthing that the DNA they used came from the hatchling metroid.

>>380949747
pretty much exactly, yeah

Then they would have had to have some way of heavily accelerating Metroid growth since it doesn't take long after Super, not even a few months. The whole of the bottle ship had to have existed before then. The BSL as well, since it was apparently a well known research vessel. They would have had to convert an already existing vessel to house these projects.

Since no one answered the question regarding the pinball, metroid ii or am2r, here it goes:

Dont bother with pinball unless you're into that kind of thing. Metroid II is very dated but since the series is continuity heavy, you should do one of 3 things depending on what you prefer.

>Ideally, play Metroid Prime Trilogy, starting with 1 and then in order. They are cronologically after Zero Mission/Metroid and before Metroid II
>If Prime Trilogy is unavailable, go into AM2R. The remake is widely considered one of the best if not THE best Metroid game there is. Its highly customizable, fixes a lot of issues that the original had and the gameplay is tight. You'll feel right at home after playing Zero Mission. Metroid II is VERY dated and linear. Its loved and a lot of the staples in the series start to show up here. If you're hardcore into experiencing the original, go ahead
>If you dont care about hunting sweet Metroids and are a faggot, go into Super Metroid. Dont spoil yourself. Its the greatest game of all time, not even joking.
>Play Metroid Fusion. After all those great games, Fusion will feel like a letdown. The story, ambience, style and soundtrack are superb, but the gameplay is meh and its very linear right down to the climax. Its the last game chronologically.

Good luck on your missions, anon!

It's getting harder and harder to ignore Nintendo

>>380951096
Yeah, looking into it a bit more it seems really sketchy. The GF had at least 2 separate metroid cloning programs going on, the Bottle Ship and then the BSL station, that are both supposedly sourced from the Baby. The Bottle Ship is metroid sample came from Samus' armor and then the BSL came from ???? There is enough grey at this point that metroids being returned to the universe would not surprise me at all. Honestly, the way things are going I'm sure there are X parasites in some GF facility somewhere.

>>380951913
Give yourself to the N, anon. You know it's only right.

>>380950778
How would she find out? Easy. Between Prime 3 to Super, technically any and every metroid in existence is only on SR338. The pirates hijack the lab at the start of super because its their last chance to rebuild themselves, ergo if Prime 4 happens before Samus Returns and Samus has to deal with Metroids outside of the planet, its source has to be from somewhere else. Not to mention that the way the egg was presented haf it like their only egg, which means what, the federation was super fucking lucky Samus absorbed the baby and they recovered Metroid DNA again by sheer luck? Yeah no I don't buy it.

>>380942573

Metroid II was also my first Metroid. Also, I've never played Super Metroid, and I'm not a huge fan of the Prime series.

How brain damaged are you?

The new game's art style suck compared to AM2R's spritework and the physics look a little off. I didn't see any walljumping in any of the footage I saw, so either Treehouse is full of shitters that shouldn't be in the industry (entirely likely), or Wall Jump will be an upgrade that you have to find that will end up being completely neutered like it was in Fusion.

I'll still end up buying this game because it's fucking metroid, unless there's a huge shitstorm on /v/ when pirates get their copies ahead of everyone else.

It's not good, you hipster faggot. Any Metroid-like or metroidvania where half your upgrades are "you can now break x-coloured blocks with no secondary function" is shit. Metroid already got this right from the start, bombs destroy blocks but also bounce you up and damage enemies, missiles destroy blocks but are also your main source of good damage, phazer goes through walls to activate some switches but also pierces enemies so you can hit several at once. ESA repeatedly gives you power-ups that do nothing but allow you to break new types of blocks, and often you'll just find a new roadblock immediately behind them if you backtrack each time.
It's a thoroughly mediocre game and people only defend it by saying "you care more about graphics than gameplay", when the gameplay isn't worth shit.

>>380957961
The hookshot and mobility is excellent, the boss battles are good, the soundtrack is nice, and it has some of the best post game content I've seen in a Metroid style game. I'm not saying it's better than any of the other Metroid games. It's better than fucking Axiom Verge.

>The new game's art style suck compared to AM2R's spritework

A lot of AM2R's customs assets are actually not very good and look completely out of place in the game, plus it borrows heavily from Zero Mission which had a bad art style to begin with.

SR's art style is not only more cohesive, but better done too.

>>380958353
But yeah anyone that says it's 10/10 or better than any of the Metroid games is fucking silly. But to call ESA shit is harsh, I had a lot of fun fucking about with the hookshot and catapulting myself up into places, I've also been bummed out that none of the Metroid games let you use a grapple beam freely.

You need to practice it to pull it off, and I'm sure you'll find enemies later on that can't be countered or very hard to counter their attacks.

It's like parrying in Dark Souls. Not easy, not everyone can do it, but satisfying to do.

I don't think you understand how lenient it is, the chick was missing constantly and it still counted as a parry. She never even timed it she just used it when an enemy hadn't even attacked yet and it would parry.

We saw Zetas already having a parry timing of a year and a half with extreme tells before they actually attack. I sincerely doubt it's going to get any harder.

>>380970825
If it makes you feel any better it was Mercury Steams idea.

Makes sense, actually. I don't really know what they'd insert to cover that that wouldn't seem like a retred of what they did in ZM, though. In terms of "games over, oh no crashed in a Space Pirate place or something" sort of way.

>>380971254
It's easy. Just don't use counter attack when you play the game. Doing the counter attack on bosses gives you an opportunity to attack them during a cool actiony scripted scene. I really like this addition, makes the game less boring.

>people bitching about melee, even though it makes sense to have melee
I thought for sure the Teleport Stations were going to be the main point of contention, but I guess I never realized how many of those cancerous git-gud fags that ruined Dark Souls our fan base had. For fucks sake.

That brings up good points for how pants-on-head retarded Sakamoto was when directing the game. But that's an anon's theory with no credible proof besides using Other M's terrible plot to back it up

Remember that the Chozo who went to Tallon IV left behind much of their technology. It makes sense that they wouldn't be able to build things to as advanced a standard.

>It's easy. Just don't use counter attack when you play the game
The problem is that the way enemies move (In the footage we were shown) it wants you to parry rather than jump around them and counter with shots while you're on your way to landing. They beeline towards you while trying to ram you and it seemed like only the ground-based enemies could actually be jumped around.

I just don't like the precedence it sets for avoiding enemies now.

Honestly, outside of the melee attack thing, how much actual design work is MercurySteam doing? It just seems like they're mostly doing programming and coding shit.

A lot of the actual direction and level design is coming from people from NCL. We know Sakamoto's producing, but the game's director and level designer is Takehiko Hosokawa, who was previously the system director and game designer for Fusion and as well as a level designer for Zero Mission.

I wonder if this game will go into the fact the metroids were created by the chozo. Cause I feel that does get brought enough. Kind of ridiculously important, actually.

And speaking of story, if this game has cut scenes, they need to be short, in-engine, and rely on visual storytelling. It's Metroid for fucks sake, not Metal Gear.

>>380966235
>"I enjoy not having any options when enemies are in my face."
Its funny you actually believe this is a bad thing. Instead of being punished for bad positioning, retards like you demand bike helmets for every situation rofl

>>380971310
Well unlike ZM, SR338 is central to the plot of the next two games, and Super is directly after. So they either retcon the X existing much earlier OR they use the postgame as a prequel to Fusion, with the recon mission fully playable. Which also is nigh impossible as a post game suggests it working like ZM, with the remaining discovery precentile being there.

>>380973730
>You slowly give up on the restaurant because small independent shops now start serving steaks instead of veal. One such shop even managed to make the steak better.
Its not all bad friend

>All this crying over melee counter

Tbh it looks great and this is something I always wanted, too see Samus more physical in combat, it's stupid how having such and advanced armor she remains most of the time only shooting

Other M tried it but it was only QTEs because of the horrible simplified controls, this look like a step in the right direction because it is entirely optional

>>380976290

Man I would fucking love it if SR had some subtle X foreshadowing in it.

They were always there though. The metroids themselves were created as a means of countering them.

>>380976364
I will be highly disappointed if they miss that opportunity.

>>380971478
All I see is that Other M is not canon

>>380976364
Well it would make sense as they pop up again as the SR Mission resulted in the extinction of their predators, but we do know that it took a while for it to take effect. But I do think that the lower the counter goes, in the earlier areas X Parasite could start popping up and by the end of the game the frequency is somewhat higher. Not by much mind you, something like 2-3 encounters in each area.

>>380974637
These people couldn't make it on the Treehouse stream for a reason.

>>380977041

AM2R wasn't even that good people just overrate it because Metroid was dead at the time, everyone still clinging to it over a real remake is just trying to stir up shit

>>380977248

That's already too much. I'm thinking there should be one in the whole game, at the very end. Maybe it can be seen in the ending sequence with the baby Metroid.

Actually, now that I think about it, this is a huge missed opportunity in AM2R. They included that bonus area full of fanservice - it would have been cool as fuck if that Hornoad was an X mimic just like in Fusion's opening.

>>380971478
So either

a) Other M is not canon
b) Every other Metroid game is not canon

I wonder which one is correct?

>>380943350
Metroid 2 didn't have Space Pirates.

Maybe Prime 4 will.

I mean, to be fair, they did steal the baby metroid in the beginning of Super Metroid.

So Space Piracy is theft.

Why are there so many anons (or so many posts from sometimes the same anon) dissing AM2R now? I just replayed Zero Mission, AM2R, Super, and Fusion, in that order, and AM2R was not a lot worse in any aspect than the official games, and actually many instances was better or more fun.

Zero Mission is better than Super. The game is incredibly fluid and so appealing to the eyes. Not saying Super isn't, but Zero is just better.

>>380978283
The Space Pirates are adorable in how fucking stupid and insane they are. It's really little wonder they've got staying power.

One thing I definitely want from Prime 4 is for it to take a cue from Doom and have Samus gesture a lot. Specifically, a facepalm after reading a certain particularly retarded piece of Pirate Data. She simply must get tired of having to put up with that shit all the time.

I agree. In the one clip from the counter to the return to regular gameplay, it is 10 seconds. I much prefer to remain in direct control of my actions rather than cutting "Action angles" and whatnot.

I'm glad for both although from what I've seen so far AM2R is more up my alley. I prefer good pixel and spritework to 2.5d typically as on handhelds you get jagged lines that don't age well.
I'm excited, but a little worried about some things we've seen with Samus Returns. I'm still happy they're giving metroid more love though.

>>380979230
I wish these people didn't exist. They are probably the reason why Nintendo even thinks it has to take down "competing" projects instead of promoting them in any official capacity. Like imagine if Nintendo straight up took AM2R and offered it officially while hiring the developers, and still went on to release Samus Returns? It would show that they're really supportive of their fans. And they could use a lot more direct conversation with fans in tandem. I hate when corporations take various actions and say nothing to their customers or potential customers.

>>380979497
The Queen Metroid you can see stalking you in the background which already makes it better then AM2R

Why can't this just come to Switch too? I would buy a Switch earlier for its release instead of just waiting for Prime 4.
I really don't want to bother with a 3DS

Reggie, it's 400x240, it's time to leave the system behind. I'm not asking for better textures or anything, I already played Peace Walker for PS3 and know what I'm in for. But I just don't want giant pixels ruining the experience.

Hopefully they're both great entries to the series.

They should really add unlockable suits as incentive to keep replaying Metroid games. I mean sure you don't need incentive to replay the great ones but I always loved unlockable suits in the old Spidey games. Samus' unlockable suits could even have unique bonuses.
