Yeah play Zero Mission next, then AM2R and then Fusion. Then move onto the Prime games.

There are some phenomenal "romhacks" for Super Metroid (basically mods) that completely change the game.

I recommend trying out this one at some point. It massively expands the map, adds a whole bunch of new items, new physics and just changes up the game massively.

>>381345507
Get those prime games! I love both 2 and 3D and I'm a little jealous i cant play them for the first time again.

>>381345754
Only played for about 3 hours, got the power bomb and am making my way out of Maridia (I think).

>>381345947
>AM2R

Are there any places you can still download it? The developer took it down and a lot of other people removed downloadable copies of it.

>>381346131

Yea I was mistaken, I was looking on a map online trying to see where I was so I could tell you. I'm at the save room by the elevator that leads out of Brinstar, and I've explored Norfair.

>>381345947
What's the difference between that edition and original SM Redesign? By the way, Redesign was great, I loved the sheer size of the map and being able to get lost again. It makes the original SM's map look so small in comparison. Definitely worth a play.

>>381346617
The original Redesign has a lot of little design choices that made it much more of a chore to play through. This is by the same guy many years later ironing out problems with the original, adding lots of little immersion features, improving the physics etc. I'd give it a shot even if you've played through the original because it isn't exactly the same.

Sounds cool, thanks.

Zero Mission, Super Metroid, and Fusion are some of my favorite games of all time, but I can't get into prime. I wish I could, but the gameplay feels so slow and I hate needing to switch beams/visors.

Do 2 or 3 improve on either of those aspects at all? I just got the Ice Beam in Prime

>>381347458
2 and 3 still have visors but they toned down the gameplay reliance on them in combat. Plus the scan visor highlights objects so there is none of the silly scan hunting from the first Prime.

>>381347458
>I hate needing to switch beams/visors.
It takes a flick of the c-stick and like 1 second

Drop ZM after you beat Mother Brain. If you do that, it's pretty good. The tacked on last section is garbage.

>>381347458
2 has even more of that stuff, but there's more combat.
3 has beam stacking and generally more fluid controls, but is much more linear.

>>381347561
git gud

>>381347548
It's not the act, it's just annoying to be like "oh this room needed wave beam to get into. Oh the enemy in this room can only be killed by power beam. Welp, the exit requires ice beam

has anyone pulled off that brinstar walljump skip

Fuck me. I can't find any cheap copies either.

>>381347676
Man, you're going to hate Phazon Mines. This kind of thing happens even more in Prime 2.


>>381347834

The 2D games didn't raelly enemies that could only beam or doors that could only be opened with one beam. it is kinda busywork.

>>381347780

>>381347834
2D Metroids are fine. I don't like beam switching in Prime because it covers up your screen for a second and that really annoys me. I wouldn't care if it was a button to cycle through

>>381347978

Oh yeah, I've done it plenty of times. That isn't even the difficult bit.

non-sequitur?

>>381347561
>The tacked on last section is garbage.
I wouldn't call it garbage, but it never did quite feel right. The stealth part was okay, but once you get the suit back and have that "whoa cool I'm strong again" moment, the feeling wears off after you've heard the blaring loud and shortened Brinstar loop for the fourth or fifth time. And with the amount of time it takes to get to the end of the game with just that loop playing throughout all of Chozodia, it really does start to get grating. I love Zero Mission, but that ending sequence keeps it from being better than Super or Fusion, for me.

Metroid is my favourite licence and I haven't played Super Metroid in years so since It's Metroid time... "I should play this game again... why the fuck not ?"

So I played throught the game and I finished it today. I have to say that the game is not as easy as I remembered it... Not like it's hard to deal with the bosses or something. More like it's hard to find where you have to go. I was doing fine until Maridia and the Gravity suit. I had a hard time to figure out where it was and what I was supposed to do. But after Maridia piece of cake.

Great game and I loved to play it again even if I found Maridia annoying as fuck. Metroid Prime now !

Well I can understand that I guess. It never really bothered me.

There were always doors that you have to have an item to progress through. That was always the point.

I pretty much agree with all this - though even if the endgame sequence were better I don't think it'd be better than Super or Fusion.

Nintendo has stated they want to make sure games on the Switch have a pick up and play factor, so like you could play on the way to work, put it down, and pick up from your lunch break without missing a beat.

I feel like in order for that to happen with Prime 4, they're going to have to seriously make some changes.

>>381348810
You can use the Charge Beam to damage him. Actually, if you have Wave/Ice/Plasma equipped, shooting him with the charge beam does more damage than a super missile.

>>381348810
Are there any holes that continuously spawn enemies before the fight? Those are meant for farming

>>381348810
Did it today with like 6 Energy tanks, he's not that hard dude, if you did Draygon, you can do it anon. Found Draygon way more challenging.

>>381349248
Draygon is easy though. Shinespark or just grapple beam the electricity when he grabs you

>>381348810

There is a way back. Just before the lava filled room, you can take a right and enter the dark room. At the top of the dark room you can pass through an invisible wall to the left.

>>381349423
Is there an easy way to kill him without doing this? I remember as a kid I didn't know about the electricity so I did it with missiles, and I remember he swoops so fast you only have time to shoot 1 rocket into his stomach. Took me forever to do it and once I figured out the electricity I've never tried to do it without it since.

>>381349557
Shinesparking him is the real quickest way, but other than that just whittle him down I think

>>381348952
People will probably think I'm a moron, but I think that they should go with a proper fps gameplay (2 sticks). If you played DOOM you know that it has a Metroid Feeling, and I loved the game. I want Metroid Prime 4 to be similar to this game, probably not as fast but similar. I'm playing Metroid Prime on the gamecube for the first time in years and yes the game is fun the gameplay works but it's slow and it feels very tanky (a bit like a Resident evil), I like it but at the same time I would be ok with more fluidity and "better controls".

Reminder that you can play Super with superior GBA Style romhack that changes physics and controls to be more like the GBA games and AM2R.

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3211/

There's also another one that implements CD-Quality music.

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2393/

You just need to apply GBA Style one first, then apply the music one to the GBA Style-patched rom.

Webm of both in action, was recording late at night when tired but it should give you a good idea:

>>381350002
Epic...

>>381350174
The source code is available, but it's stripped off all the assets and Nintendo copyrighted content (Samus renamed to Sarah, Metroids renamed to Monsters and so on) so you'd need to figure out how the code works, adapt it for 3DS and change all the edited text back to real one.

>>381350174
Well the source code exists so you can probably find a way to do it.

>sullying the game with shitty MIDI "orchestrated" music instead of the beep bloops of the original

>>381350763
>MIDI orchestrated
Confirmed for a moron.

>>381350837
Refute my point, faggot.

>>381350937
First of all, replacing "beep bloops" is impossible for now, google what MSU-1 chip is. It's a music extension chip, actual hardware chip that can be used on a real SNES. You can use it to implement RedBook music in SNES games as long as you actually get the music.
There's a composer that actually orchestrated entirely of Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger music, from scratch. It's not just the original music with samples changed.
http://syntheticorchestra.com/

Anyway games still need to be manually patched to make use of MSU-1, this is one such patch.
Here's a vid of CT with MSU-1 patch and orchestral music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7U5hJCcTNI

The goal of making MSU-1 was essentially turning SNES games into PS1-era games in terms of music.

91KB, 854x770px

>>381351304
Excellent refutation Anon.

I'll give it a try.

>>381351415
You can easily use the MSU-1 patch standalone without the GBA Style one if ZM/Fusion-like controls and physics aren't your thing too.
Personally I can't ever imagine going back to playing original versions of games without MSU-1 for those that have it.
Afaik atm only Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, F-Zero, Mega Man X, Secret of Mana and Super Mario World have MSU-1 patches though I only tested LttP, CT and SM ones since I don't care about the other games.
They're currently working on MSU-1 patch for Final Fantasy VI (misnamed as III on SNES in Murrica)

>>381349880
The orchestra music feels kind of out of place when it's juxtaposed with SNES graphics. Well, call me a purist, but I prefer the original music when playing.

>>381352002
Could it for example, have this music inserted into F-Zero?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L1wNQ0NahI

>>381352229
SotN has barely above SNES graphics, and it had fully orchestral music anon.

>>381350551
>>381350683

So in what ways do you think Prime 4 will fall short of the original trilogy?

>>381353067
>implying

>>381353019

Noice. I prefer the x ray visor method though.

>>381353067
I see your point. But SotN always had orchestral music, so it was normal to me. SM always had midis, so that was normal to me. Suddenly changing midis in SM to orchestral music just throws me off, so again, just call me a purist.

>>381353514
You just need to adapt anon. Personally I can never go back.
Playing through AM2R with it's CD-Quality music before this definitely helped warm me towards the music being much higher quality.

>>381353647
higher technical quality doesn't count for shit when the compositions are garbage

>>381345507
Zero mission is my personal favorite. Play it next.

I just started replaying super this morning while here at work. Sequence breaking the fuck out of it.

>>381353882
Metroid 2 was extremely limited by GameBoy so I'd still say AM2R devs did the best they could. Though something tells me you never actually heard the remastered OST for AM2R which was planned to be included in the 1.2 update, but later leaked through an anonymous source:
http://am2r.freeforums.org/music-in-hi-dynamic-range-at-max-quality-drop-in-replacement-t2147.html

>>381349779
The Trilogy games let you play like a 2 stick FPS with the Wiimote.

>>381348810
Once you have Plasma beam, charge shots do more DPS then anything else.

Just play smart, dont get hit, and charge shot him dead.

Also, super missiles and power bombs make some bosses mad, keep that in mind

>>381354209

I only ever played the 1.1 version of AM2R. Iff there's a new version with better music, I can't judge that yet.

>>381353647
I'll stick to the originals, thanks. They're an integral part of the game's atmosphere and always did their job exceptionally well. The hammed up "epic" orchestra music replaces the more ambient, subtle style of the originals with an overly-actiony, distracting style that just doesn't fit in the game and entirely changes the atmosphere.

>>381354334
Yeah you clearly didn't listen to it. Choke on a dick I gues since you're definitely a faggot.

>>381354209
My issue with the AM2R soundtrack that it was too upbeat and not atmospheric enough. Metroid games usually strike a good balance between atmospheric and catchy, but AM2R's music fell a bit too much in the latter camp. Since they were presumably trying to replicate the tension and atmosphere of the original game, the music didn't really fit even if it was technically good.

>>381354330
Yeah the compositions got updated and whatnot.
AM2R development is actually still ongoing, though semi-unofficially at AM2R plebbit.
Current build is 1.2.10 and is compatible with that music pack I linked, they don't include it in the patch itself due to massive filesize.
I suggest waiting for next month though as they've got 1.3 update planned, adding the different music phases to Queen, one extra attack (hopefully, it's still work in progress according to dev), Charge Beam damaging Metroids with different base beams having different damage values ala SM and some other stuff.

>>381353168
I think Samus' character might be one of the factors.

A lot has changed since Prime 3 in terms of video game storytelling, and I feel like they will try to give Samus more personality and speaking lines. It won't be as bad as Other M, but it will change the flow enough to make Samus feel like a different person.

>>381353067
>SotN has barely above SNES graphics
I think you need to go back and play SotN, then play a SNES game. They're further apart then you may remember. Way smoother animations and detail.
The PSX's RAM is about half of the size of you largest SNES games in their entirety.

>>381354498
>He doesn't like my music replacements
>Better call him a faggot
Why are you so angry that I prefer the original music? I disagree with you but I didn't tell you to choke on a dick. Take it easy.

>>381354317
And I thought I was the only one who prefered SM's physics over the GBA titels.

I have no idea why people have such a hard on for the shit physics in the GBA games. The acceleration for vertical travel is all sorts of fucked up

Christ that's fucking godly.

Cheers Anon.

Why would they even lower the quality from this?

>>381355339
Because they released the OST as MP3 and MP3 only goes up to 320 bitrate. This thing is substantially higher quality.
Also word on the street is that Doc himself released this anonymously since the guy was literally approached out of the blue by an anonymous guy on Twatter who just gave him these files, completely adapted for game with perfect loop points and everything. So it's not just taking the released OST and renaming shit to fit the game.

>>381355331
>shit physics in the GBA games
The physics function perfectly fine and allow for tight, fast-paced platforming. The GBA games play incredibly smoothly thanks to the physics and the level design, which takes advantage of those physics. That isn't to say that they're better than Super's, though. They all feel good to play, they're just different. Personally I prefer Super's physics that allow for more creative movement, but I absolutely wouldn't call the physics in the GBA games shitty.

>>381356007
>>381355331
You two are all right.

>>381356007
Far enough.
I far prefer the physics in SM and what it allows you to do control wise, but I do reconise that the GBA games do a very good job of designing the world around the physics that work on a small resolution.
I guess I just wish that the SM physics model was used for more then just SM.

Does anyone of any Super Metroid roms that change the sound design? Not music but the sound effects.

>>381357629
I have no idea. They have a placeholder page up for it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071K9NFC8 but I'm pretty sure that image is from the Treehouse stream, and if they were going to sell it, they'd likely put it up for preorder by now unless this is a weird amiibo situation where they have such little stock they need to figure out a way to release it in a visible time frame.

>>381357825
Yeah, but US doesn't have the amiibos bundled in. That seems a bit pricey too at close to $100.

>>381358031
That would be weird if they had such little stock because I think Metroid isn't enough popular to make a Special Edition sell out so quickly like the amiibos

>>381345947

>>381358576
You would think, but it's possible Amazon got shafted on stock. They couldn't sell 3DS for years and when they got amiibos they'd only receive like a dozen or two for ones like Robin and Lucina. When Nintendo doesn't stock correctly, Amazon usually gets the worst of it.

Super Metroid wasn't designed for Project Base's physics and the game is kinda ruined because of it. It's nice as an alternate way to experience the game, but saying it's superior is just plain wrong.
Project Base with the map patch, however, has many changes to the map to greatly expand it while keeping the new physics in mind, and doesn't ruin the game.
And then you've got Hyper Metroid, which is designed from the ground up with Project Base in mind and is fucking phenomenal because of it.

You're that same motherfucker who suggested that patch to the guy in /vr/ for his first run through the game, aren't you? Fuck you.

>>381362067

>>381362541
They never bothered me much in the Prime games, maybe because of the format. But I'm not sure how it'll work in the 2D games. I prefer them not being in because it lends a bit to the element of danger to exploration that the 2D games really sell themselves on. Too much of a safety net could take away

>>381360254
Do the Metroid II challenge.
Basically, you're not allowed to use or collect any of the new items, and you can only collect five energy tanks, and you can't stack beams.
You have to collect Super Missiles and Speed Booster in order to progress, but you are only allowed to use them in the spots they're required for.

How would Metroidfags feel if DOOM-style glory kills were added to Prime 4?

If the Prime series was third party multiplat, normalfags would be the biggest Metroid fans

Prove me wrong

>can't find way to progress
>have to shoot/bomb every book and cranny in hopes of finding the next route

Easily the worst part of this series.
I shouldn't have to power bomb every room to find my way out or find that last missing missile tank.

Ok, mockball, which is probably what you looked up, is a glitch and lets you do some unintended shit like getting that particular Super Missile pack, and ice beam, early.
The developer intended way to get Super Missiles is to just fucking kill Spore Spawn in Brinstar.

I wanna watch the 3D trailer of Samus Returns on my 3DS, but apparently Nintendo only released it on the NA eShop, which I can not access.

Is there any way for me to get the video?
Can some anon download it from the store, put it onto SD card, upload it to PC and send it to me? Or will the region locking prevent that?

Is that really what will get me to hack my 3DS? A stupid fucking trailer? God dammit!

>>381364038
That particular Super Missile is entirely optional, it just so happens that you can obtain it early with shinesparking.

>>381364235
trailer isn't in 3d for me

>>381364037
But that's literally what it is. It's a hacked ROM.

>>381364235
It's not region locking that'll do it, it's that downloaded apps are locked to that console. You could put the entire folder structure on your 3DS, but it wouldn't work because the console ID of your 3DS and the one tagged on the app are different.
In order to get it you would need to hack your 3DS, and get the app as an installable package, aka a CIA, and install it.

That was interesting and informative. Too bad it basically confirms that I won't get to see the trailer. I contacted Nintendo about it. Thanks a lot!

>>381365249
>Hunters might have been flawed but it least had fun combat.

Hunters was garbage. The controls were terrible and the campaign was just the tiny multiplayer maps linked together.

>>381354896
I don't think giving Samus more personality and speaking lines would necessarily be a bad thing. Sure Other M did that and failed terribly. But just because Other M failed doesn't mean that any attempt to give Samus more personality and a voice would automatically bad. I'd say there is a right way of doing it. Though finding that right way could admittedly be challenging for the developers. They would have find a way to give voice and more personality to Samus in a way that satisfies at least the majority of fans and fits in with their interpretation of Samus' character.

>>381365392

>The controls were terrible
Smoothest controls of any handheld FPS I've ever played. Though, I haven't played any on Vita yet.

Nobody's defending the single player. The multiplayer was great and so were its maps.

I heard there was an updated version of AM2R. Anyone know what it does and where to get it?

Anyone else get kinda stressed out playing Metroid games? I played Zero Mission to death as a kid and explored every inch of the map, never got 100%, didn't mind tho. I just played Super Metroid for the first time and beat it in 7 hours with 82% completion but the whole time I was stressed out over not wanting to miss any items but at the same time not wanting to waste too much time backtracking. I just started Metroid Prime last night and I swear the scan visor is going to be the death of me.

>>381368267

For out of bounds, that's pretty much it, as far as I know.

These webms though, I made a few years ago when I found the memory value that keeps track of how charged your beam is. It goes from 0 to 1, but I forced it to some inane values which had the effect of increasing the shot size and damage, and vibration of Samus's arm cannon.

I'm sure the games in between were decent enough but you have to admit that's a long gap between the type of game fans of the series are, well, fans of

Imagine if there was a 10 year gap between Pokémon generations with only a few spinoffs released in the gap

>>381368225
Nigga, look at the facts

Other M sucked balls, so it's a 6 year gap between a shitty game and then a Metroid game that doesn't even star Samus (Fed Force), so in the time frame f 10 years of "Metroid not being dead" you have a really bad game and a 3DS co-op spin off that doesn't feature Samus and might as well not be named Metroid.

Redesign is really popular but whenever I look at the map or watch videos it just looks like a huge maze to me

I've played a good bit of Metroid 1 and mazes are actually not a bad thing, but the difference with Metroid 1 is you only need to find two bosses and a few powerups to complete the game, it's also really small. Whereas with super and presumably redesign you need most powerups to complete the game. Is it annoying to run around this maps for hours? The rooms like featureless, is it hard to remember them?

>>381370201

Redesign is kind of crap. You can remember the maps but you spend a lot of time aimlessly wandering, hoping to find the next spot to continue.

>>Development is beyond the concept stages, a gameplay teaser “could have been possible for E3, if E3 were held just a week later”

Thank fuck.

I hope so. I don't want it to be exactly like the old Prime games 100% but it should have the same structure and atmosphere. I just want the gameplay to evolve so it can be faster and speedier, like the 2D games. I want that and some new items and abilities, if not also reworked versions of old items, like the Screw Attack. And give me the Speed Booster but in 3D now too. And I'll be happy.

Here's one I didn't notice until I replayed Echoes on Dolphin 10 years later. After you scan an enemy type, it'll have a circular health bar around the lock-on reticle.

>>381371773
Early versions of most of the items exist, though I don't remember finding any of the suits. The beam combos exist, IIRC Sunburst and Darkburst were more or less finished, but Sonic Boom had no visual effect at all when firing, and made a regular power beam shot sound. It did still do a ton of damage, however. You could also activate some of the multiplayer-only items, like deathball and invisibility (although with memory editing you can also do this in regular Prime 2). So it had a lot of the items. Something I never explored though was the map. There are some videos on youtube of unused rooms on the Demo Disc, but they're hard to get to.

I didn't realize until a few days ago that there's also a charge meter around your lock-on target until an anon posted a webm of MP2 either. Damn, that game had a lot of really cool stuff.

I know that Other M was bad but would you guys still be okay with another attempt at a 3D third-person Metroid game in the future?

>>381373075
As long as they dont try and make us control it like a fucking NES game

>>381373075
Depends on who's doing it.
I believe Other M might have been salavagable if it was done by Itagaki, rather than Sakamoto and Hayashi.
I would also be really interested to see what Monolith Soft would produce if they were making it

Only if it were over-the-shoulder or at least the shooter was over-the-shoulder, with a freer camera outside of that, like how Uncharted, nuTomb Raider, and a few other games do it.

Also depends on who were making it. I think Retro could still do a good job, even if they hadn't touched a Metroid game since Prime 3 or they could get someone like PlatinumGames to do it.

But shooting has never been all that satisfying in their games

>>381373543
Personally, I think it was a subtle way of him saying he gets that the fans weren't partial to his depiction of Samus in Other M, since that picture of Samus is associated with that one magazine page, which pretty strongly contradicts how she was designed in Other M. Basically, I think he got the message and wants to show that he can return to form and please the fanbase.

I hope that's it, anyway.

>>381373819
>Only if it were over-the-shoulder
I disagree. I think a good control scheme would be to keep the camera on fixed pathway like it was in Other M (never had any issue figuring out what was going on), but use motion control to control the aiming reticule on screen, similar to Splatoon or the boomerang/arrow aiming in Wind Waker HD.

Samus will always shoot where the reticule is and you have to aim at enemy while shooting.

Doesn't really bother me in the least since the only time I ever die in Metroid games is on bosses. I know people like to overreact about modern additions like that but I'm sure there's going to be a hard mode to satisfy that crowd. If it makes Metroid more accessible to the masses and gets more people interested then I'm all for it. Most people I know have only played a little bit of Prime and mostly know Samus from Smash so the more exposure the better.

>>381370289
I was talking about it with a friend after the Nintendo Direct, I spent HALF of my life without a new 2D Metroid. I was chocked.

>>381368225

And 10 years is a long time buddy.

>>381345507
I've decided to play Metroid 2 just for the sake of it and it's been pretty painful so far. Is it normal that I go out of my way to grind up energy and missiles in between metroid fights?

>>381362541
The only time you should ever really be at risk of dying in a Metroid game is to a boss, so I don't really give a shit.

>>381374203
Vanquish is one of the best, most satisfying shooters ever made. Also Bayonetta, even while not a TPS, had some very satisfying guns, like Lt. Col. Kilgore (still one of my favorite weapons in any game ever).

>>381374345
I've sort of always wanted to see something like this, but no. Just give me an OTS viewpoint for the shooting and I'm good.

>>381374427
>I was talking about it with a friend after the Nintendo Direct, I spent HALF of my life without a new 2D Metroid. I was chocked.
You can really see just how so many people thought this series was dead. 10 years since the last Prime game, 13 since the last 2D game, that one being a remake too. That's an unnecessarily long amount of time between games.

Metroid sound in action is dog shit

The only good thing about it is that random NOA guy speaking THE LAST METROID IS IN CAPTIVITY with crystal clear audio

Kenji Yamamoto did the soundtracks for the prime games, and he knows what his music sounds like in high fidelity. It's not orchestral and orchestral instruments are a meme. He's not like most video game composers that have a different feel for better or worse when going from retro to modern sound design.

Example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VGuWDQBXrU

Maybe we'll get some other super metroid tracks one day. I really want to hear a new version of brinstar green from him.

In Echoes, your hitbox in the screw attack animation is morph ball sized, so you can screw attack into morph ball tubes. This lets you reach a point from which you can jump to this portal that you're never meant to be able to reach. Not surprisingly, it doesn't do anything.

>>381377229
Well, it's a good thing that given everything you said in your post, you cannot argue that whatever is in this guy's post >>381349880 sounds good either.

Normal Super Metroid or Control Freak edition?

>>381349880
I played the GBA-style hack the other day and I had a lot of fun. The new jumping didn't give me any major trouble despite the rooms not being designed for it. Although samus shoots up way too fast and short hops are a problem.

What pisses me off about the mod is the spin jump sound is missing and they changed the foot step sound. Were these project base changes that the modder accidentally left in?

>>381377604
First playthrough? Normal.
Additional playthroughs? Whatever you want.

>>381377553
Oh I wasn't in the conversation before that post, I'm just familiar with sound in action and had to shut down a bad opinion before someone believed it any longer

>>381377632
Those are indeed Project Base changes.

>>381372729
SA-X is such an amazing concept for metroid with a lot of unused potential. I hope we have something like that in future metroid games, some other other bounty hunter or an extremely powerful space pirate.

The best shit would be to design something like 20 encounters, and only use a handful at random on your playthrough. That way you never know when this thing is going to show up.

>>381377734
Well, for that matter, I have not listened to the other arranges on Sound in Action all that much, but I can't really see why you wouldn't enjoy the Theme of Super Metroid arrange. It hardly deviates from the sound of the original that much (which is exactly why I like it), don't get where you're getting all these 'orchestral' impressions from.

You can change beams in Corruption by editing a few flags in memory, and the game handles it fine. Pointless because of beam stacking, but I thought it was neat.

Should I play Trilogy on Normal or Veteran?

>>381378709
Veteran is Normal mode from the original versions.
Trilogy's normal is actually easy mode.

>>381378709
veteran because they made normal mode easy mode and veteran mode "kinda harder than an actual normal difficulty" mode for some reason

The problem is we all mentally associate the zero suit with shit

Why?

Because everything we've ever played with the zero suit was shit. It's when zero mission becomes a terrible game and you quit your playthrough after mother brain, and the cutscenes of Other M.

Also literally every single suitless samus design was better than the zero suit, yet zero suit is the one they use. They also designed the zero suit to be fapbait, and it fails at that being the leotards were better.

>>381379745
I've been finding out they actually changed prime quite a lot between the NTSC and PAL releases.

Why aren't we arguing over which is better?

You can perform a painfully precise scan dash to jump on top of a robot and cross this room without the Screw Attack. The tricky part is that these robots never respawn after they've flown away the first time. You need to reload a save from before you'd ever entered that room to see them again.

There's nothing wrong with the Zero Suit in theory. It makes more sense for her to wear a tactical, form-fitting suit underneath her armor as opposed to a belly shirt and panties. However the Zero Suit looks like fetish bait more than something tactical. If it was tightened up and looked more like pic related, it would be better.

Are there other .cias of super metroid ROM hacks? The only one I've seen on 3dsiso was the control freak one.

>>381381036
Plus there's the fact that people seem to be treating it a special, integral piece of the Power Suit, because Smash players can't seem to understand that Zero Suit is just a title.

Yeah really, those moments detracted from those games.

ZSS in prime 2 doesn't match the art style at all, especially when compared to Prime 1 samus.

In prime 3 they smartly obscure her with the framing in the introduction, but of course they have to reveal her at the end of the game out of tradition.
