Just beat AM2R. Fan-fucking-tastic game. Like not "good for a fan game", this shit is damn near consumer market ready. All my playthrough of it has done is made me want more.

More like they don't got enough teams, nigga.

The team that made 2D Metroid games, R&D1, was disbanded years ago when Iwata restructured Nintendo's internal teams. The staff there either retired or got shuffled to EAD or the newly founded SPD, which both ended up being combined into NPD back in 2015.

>>381777616
Kirby is developed by HAL, so it's not like an in-house Nintendo team is being wasted there. Although to be honest, do you really want modern Nintendo to do all the work on a Metroid game? Most of their focus and expertise seems to be on light-hearted, family friendly games. Zelda's probably the most serious franchise Nintendo still make and even that is relatively light-hearted.

This list honestly just tells me it's not in the Prime games (which hell, there are unused Scan Log images of the Speed Booster in Prime 1 & Retro even said it was planned to be in the game but cut-out since it'd be difficult to implement), especially since after Metroid 2 it was in every 2D Metroid (and Other M) game, even Zero Mission which is a remake of Metroid 1.

When asked about why AM2R was taken down, Reggie said it was a "commercial product" despite it being free. If you read between the lines, he was basically saying it was so well-made that it was seen as direct competition to Nintendo.

The music, while solid in its own right, felt more like a fan remix-album rather than a Metroid OST. The drums were too heavy and it wasn't as subdued as normal Metroid music. The composer of the original Metroid explicitly said he wanted to create music to fit the atmosphere rather than just creating catchy beats like other video game composers.

Some of the newer bosses seemed out of place. The Torizo and Tester were venturing into bullet hell territory. Metroid has had parts where you've had to avoid numerous projectiles before, the most notable example being whilst attacking Mother Brain. But it manages to implement that without filling the screen with a ton of bullets. Also the Torizo suddenly pulling out a jetpack screamed "fan game" to me.

It seems like the entire Power Bomb segment was just hamfisted into the game to include a timed escape sequence (since the original Metroid II lacked one). They also scripted the explosion so that it would always damage Samus for some reason, presumably as a way to include a Prime reference (although Prime's explosion hitting you actually made sense since it was what caused Samus to lose her upgrades). Most escape sequences usually happen for a reason, usually because you're escaping a self-destructing base after completing your mission. I believe they actually made the Power Bombs optional so there's no reason to even enter the facility, it just blows up because they felt like throwing one into the game. Plus it's strange why they'd store Power Bombs in a facility that can be overheated by a single Power Bomb, or why Power Bombs don't do as much damage to other areas in the game (although the last point is more of a nitpick).

Like I said, AM2R is solid in its own right and as a fan game. But it shouldn't really be put on the same level as official games.
>>
I'm glad that we're finally getting a real Metroid. No fan game trash, no mediocre Prime shit either.
>>
>>381780923
I agree with the original boss fights, they felt very fan-gamey too me, just spamming projectiles mon stop
>>
Will this shit come to the switch? I can see myself getting a switch in the future but definitely not getting a 3ds
>>
>>381780923
I agree. The escape sequence felt really out of place and the pacing was off. Escape sequences have always been either at the beginning of the game or at the end, sometimes both. Having one in the middle of the game felt really weird and poorly planned-out because escape sequences have historically been a climactic moment to either start or end the game, yet here it just felt tacked-on and didn't have any kind of impact once it was over.

I have a feeling that Samus Returns will also have an escape sequence, but I'm willing to bet it will be at the end in a new sequence set after the end of the original game, like the Chozodia/Space Pirate Mothership sequence in Zero Mission.

Nintendo almost never talk about their 2D and 3D games in the same breath. 2D Mario is different from 3D Mario in the same way that Mario Kart and Mario Party are different. They almost always have different directors and a different development team. They treat Metroid the same way, Sakamoto is in charge of "classic" Metroid games while Tanabe is in charge of the Prime series. Both series are still canon and both are good, but they're completely different in the eyes of Nintendo. I don't get why people can't accept this.
>>
>>381783040
>Nintendo doesn't constantly explicitly mention 2D and 3D all the time, that means the 3D games are fake and false

Screw Attack was in Metroid 2 so that's unlikely

If you look at the icons you can see they are grouped with some logic

One empty space grouped with bombs, one with the varia suit. Even if it's not the power bombs and gravity suit, it would have to be a new type of bomb and suit.

That's just a dumb fucking post lad

There's no charge beam, grapple beam or super missiles in Metroid 2. And all the old powerups are here yet there are still blank spaces left.

But you didn't have to think that far. You just had to play the Zero Mission and know they added almost everything to that game, even the gravity suit.

It's dated, but it's not unplayable. Introduced a lot of important aspects to the series. Looking at it now, it was impressive for it's time and being on the GB. It's worth a play as it's not even especially long.

Well after metroid 1, metroid games went with the ice beam model of powerup. Collecting powerups unlocks more of the map for you to explore. This is fun and all because it's fun anticipating areas you can't get to yet. And it's fun to rethink old areas with new powerups.

But in Metroid 1 you only need the ice beam to get to tourian. You have total access to the rest of the map as long as you can get their without dieing. You also really appreciate powerups because instead of being keys to the next area, they make the game a lot easier so you don't die as much.

Also exploration is different. You're not visiting every room in a check list using your map. Instead what you do is spawn from an elevator, then go spelunking in a maze for bosses and powerups with fuzzy memory. Die, keeping your spoils, and do it again. You don't have to find everything and you don't expect to. That's important because if you complete knowledge of the game/map, the sensation totally changes. Metroid is a tiny game, but you never feel dominance over your environment and most of the time you don't even know where you are.

The game dead ends you. The game gives you duplicate items. The game presents an item room and jingle with no items to be found. It all feels less "gamey" and "formulaic". I expected to hate these insane ideas going in, but it surprised me how interesting it made the game feel, in a way I don't really understand.

But I quit because I got tired of farming for health, fuck

I'm really jealous of the European special edition for this game. Ah well, pre-ordered the soundtrack edition and 2 pack amiibo thing. I don't think it'll be as good as AM2R, but few 2D Metroid games are and this'll probably be different enough from AM2R and Metroid 2 to be considered its own beast.

The people writing it off because of Mercury Steam, they went through multiple prototype's before Nintendo was satisfied, and i'm sure Nintendo will make sure quality control is there unlike Konami.

After Other M and Federation Force, do people really think Nintendo doesn't know that they need to have something good to present here?

>They just get mad when you pretend they're any worse because of that
The Prime games are "worse" because they stray away from the 2D games' philosophy of being streamlined for efficient play. Movement is a lot slower and the backtracking is nowhere near as smooth as it is in the 2D games. The Prime games are still excellent games in their own right though.

>>381787623
>I've never heard a prime fan that felt the need to disparage or legitimize 2d metroid.
That's because you can't possibly claim the 2D Metroids aren't true Metroids because they're what started the series.
>>
>>381789358
Movement in Prime 1 is just as slow for beginners and just as fast for experts as it is in Super. git gud.
> the backtracking is nowhere near as smooth as it is in the 2D games.
Prime 1's world design is almost better for backtracking than Super. The other Prime games suck at this though.
>>
>>381789358

>>381789358
Please, movement is just as smooth and the backtracking is the same as it is in the 2D games. Your problem is that it's not 2D.

>>
>>381789542
>>381790287
The backtracking isn't nearly as smooth. There's no need to get defensive about it, the 2D games are better in some aspect while the 3D games are better in other aspects.
>>
>>381790287
Nah, backtracking in Prime feels more like a chore than it ever did in the 2D games. The Prime games are good on their own right, but the backtracking isn't better than the 2D counterpart.

When in Prime 1 is the backtracking less well implemented than in Super?
Keeping in mind that in Super Metroid you go back and forth through this room no less than 3 times right after each other.
>Go up once you get the ice beam to get the power bombs
>Go right back down so you can get the grapple beam
>Go right back up again so you can enter the Wrecked Ship.
We already agree that Prime 2 and 3 suck about backtracking, but Prime 1 is top tier.

Yet most 2D metroid fans will tell you playing 1 and 2 is at your own risk despite "starting the series".

>>381770318

That's not where the Varia suit is! REEEE! Fucking mercury shit ruining my game!
>>
So how is the level design in Samus Returns looking? I wanna get it, but I don't trust Sakamoto

What do you Metroid fanatics think of the game?
>>
>>381790846
Why are we pretending that backtracking being good is the norm for 2D metroid?

Backtracking for zero mission and fusion for 100% is fucking horrible

Super is great because its forward tracking instead of back tracking

Metroid 2 is too linear to count as an accomplishment for having little backtracking.

Metroid 1 is a maze where you die a lot and you'll be seeing the same areas more than any other metroid game by far
>>
>>381791590
>Backtracking for zero mission and fusion for 100% is fucking horrible
simply false
>>
>>381791564
I like it, I always wanted 2.5D metroid

I like how everything isn't clearly composed of blocks anymore, yet bombable surfaces still hint at being bombable without beeing too obvious either. Until you use that gay new powerup anyway.

I actually wouldn't mind if they turn the speed booster into one of the aeion ability. It'll actually be a good nod to the original Super Metroid speed booster as you used energy tank when you shinespark in SM, and now you spend aeion gauge for that in SR.
I'll be really disappoint if they remove the speed booster altogether from this game. One of the things I liked about ZM and Fusion more than SM was the fact both game expanded on the shinespark ability and incorporated them in puzzles for secret items. Figuring it out what to do in specific situations and actually pulling those off to get certain energy tank/missle expansions was truly satisfying and fun for me.
If the speed booster does not return in SR, then the game will probably be 7/10 for me at best.
>>
>>381791805
>I'll just tell him the sky is yellow

You have to drop going to the final boss, go back to the main world to collect a shitload of powerbombs you never needed. Speedrunners can do this quickly because they know where to go. But if you're trying to solve 100% yourself you have to spend hours looking for screw attack blocks and the space catwalks are super fucking hidden in fusion.

Kill yourself
>>
>>381792097
are you saying you solved 100% yourself in Super Metroid? That's far more arcane than ZM or Fusion.
>>
>>381790912
I'm waiting for reviews. I love metroid but Sakashito can't be trusted
>>
>>381792097
Oh, and if you go to the last navigation room when adam tells you how to blow up the station, it locks you in and you can't go back to get the items
>>
>>381792205

Why is the added Chozodia in Zero Mission disliked? I just beat it yesterday and thought it was fun.
>>
>>381791871
That's actually a really good idea because I can't think of a 4th powerup they haven't shown that wouldn't be retarded

You press a face button to use aeon right? It could work just like the run button in super metroid and consume aeon once you start sparking. That would be amazing and the running is one of the major reasons why super metroid is a great speed running game and the newer ones not so much. It's too fast as a normal speed.
>>
>>381792676
The Samus section becomes tiresome on repeat playthroughs. I love the ZSS section every time though.
>>
>>381792493
This is the one time in my life that I wished I was European.
>>
>>381792676

Forced stealth sections are never fun
>>
>>381792553
So I'll agree that zero and fusion aren't any less fair about finding 100% of the items

But the backtracking issue for those two games remains. If I remember right you can 100% super metroid as you play the game in the intended order without backtracking. You don't beat ridley then go to every zone again farming for powerbombs. That could be wrong though because that one room with the invisible walkway, falling rocks, and water.

The call that saved Nintendo.
>>
>>381792676
It's different from the rest of the game, feels tacked on, and takes place after a good climax and ending. I play metroid for run and shoot and finding items. The stealth section is none of that. Also the final boss isn't worth sticking it through either. I just turn the game off after escaping self destruct when I replay it.

What would have been better is SA-X style stealth that's sprinkled throughout the game in smaller segments where you're still in your powersuit. Like you sneak past powerful pirates that wreck you by freezing them or some shit.
>>
>>381793125

I'm not totally sure about that. Personally I found it fun plotting the optimal route around the game world so I could sweep up all of the extra powerups. I found the level design made the final pass pretty efficient.
>>
>>381793156

>>381792676
It's got a terrible boss and it sucks on replays
>>
>>381793503
>I found the level design made the final pass pretty efficient.

Yes but you have to know the route in advance, otherwise you're powerbombing every room on your second playthrough because on your first playthrough you went to the last nav room and locked yourself out.

That's what I mean, I don't want it to add a map. I just want a hack that increases spawn health to max like every other metroid game.

>>381788681
If you're looking for a game that sorta replicates that feeling, check out La Mulana. The entire game was designed around the idea of "start from the entrance, explore a massive, nonlinear dungeon and see how far you can get this time, do it again".

Not him, but I'm not one of those fans, I would tell you to play the 2D games in order.
Metroid
Metroid II
Super Metroid
Metroid Fusion

To me Zero Mission and Samus Returns are optional. The only reason I'm buying Samus Returns so it will guarantee that Metroid Dread is made next. Metroid Dread is the real prize.

Your reward is pirates become canon fodder like the first 5 minutes of super metroid and you get to fight a shitty boss?

I did

I was having fun until I realized I was approaching being stuck or already there. Then you realize how much ground you'd have to search to find a new path, only to get stuck more and more often after that.

Good game, but I chose to forgo writing shit down and paid for it. I'll try 2 when if it ever comes out.
