Adding bonus content.

I understand it's adding more content to the game and that's not what I have a problem with. Just, why did the final boss have to be a robotic Ridley of all things? It makes no sense and adds nothing to the plot of the series.

Foreshadows the technology used in Meta-Ridley.

To be piss easy normally, but infuriating on low%.

Because it made a nice segway to Metroid Prime that came right after it.

Initially, Ridley wanted it to look like him,because if a super deathbot of destruction is going to look like anything, it better look like him (it's the legit official explanation, i am barely parapharsing, there)

But after Ridley's demise, it's clear that science team decided to merge the resurection and the robot Ridley together, because Ridley liked it so much.

SO in metroid Prime, you see Ridley being remade into meta-ridley.

It actually make the connection with the Prime series.

He is the hardest at 100%. Especially in Hard mode.

though the toughest still remain hard mode on a 15% run.

>>388758203
This boss is the biggest piece of shit on a low percent hard mode run

Sakamoto has nothing to do with the Prime games and doesn't take them into consideration when writing the story for his own games.

Untrue. he actually worked things out with the developer of the prime series during the first prime game to make it fit in the continuity.

The Zero Mission game that came later illustrate that:
Zero mission explain why samus has the round pauldron at the start of the prime game and give an origin to Meta Ridley.

-About where in the timeline is Prime set?
>Sakamoto: The story takes place between the first one on the Famicom Disk System and is followed by Metroid 2. I had the idea to make it separately as a gaiden [side story], but wouldn't it be a cop-out to call it a gaiden? Because of that, I consulted with Tanabe, and things fell into place very naturally. The local staff worked on it really hard, it serves as part of the series, and I think they completed it very well.

Daily reminder based Sakky is going to green light Dread once Samus Returns sales numbers are through the roof.

Pathetic final boss, at least it was better than the Omega in Fusion

I can only hope.
