>>388812457
Remember, if you haven't beaten Zero Mission on Hard mode with 15% completion or less, you are not allowed to complain about the hardER mode being locked behind an amiibo.

>>388812585
>>388812636
Hard mode is unlocked by beating the game on normal, so it doesn't require amiibo. HardER mode, on the other hand, require amiibo to unlock it.

>>388812664
You should have started by Zero Mission.

>>388813228
Hard mode 15% RBO or no RBO?

>>388813356
I did, really liking the art and animations in Super more

>>388813454
That confirm my feeling Zero is better to be played without super.

Out of curiosity, did you try to wait a few week before starting Super, knowing that Samus Returns would be out soon?

An other option would have been to try out Metroid Prime, which chronologically take place between Metroid 1/Zero mission and Metroid 2/Samus Returns.

Anyway, Super is a great game, so it's not really an issue either ways.

>>388813442

Reverse boss order, in other words doing Ridley -> Kraid.

Yeah the last few minutes of ZM had me wanting more, I was half joking about the spoilers and it seems great.

Playing on 3DS, would probably look nicer on PC but I like the handheld controls.

>>388812405
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/a9aj/pc/history/index.html

Reddit showed its true colors earlier in a thread about this timeline. They stated that the Prime games were better than the 2D games and if anybody stated otherwise they down voted them. I don't have a reddit account but now I know their Primefags. I'll talk about 2D Metroid at the Metroid Database and FPS Halo on Halo Archive because reddit is also Waypoint faggots as well.

>>388813914
Also, they somehow think Zero Mission and Samus Returns retcons the original games out of existence when that's not how it works. Zero Mission and Samus Returns are reimaginings with the same plots as the original games, you can play either or.

>>388813846
Ah, sorry. Ironically enough RBO is actally easier on Hard mode for the 15% run, as Ridley can be cheezed out if you know the good strat and Kraid die almost instantly with Super missiles

But in the end, the order doesn't matter, you simply have to beat a 15% hard run, no matter the order and ONLY then can you complain.

>>388813886
The directional cross is one of the comfiest on the 3DS. Only the WiiU one feel better. (haven't tried the the Switch pro controller yet).

>>388813994
>Zero Mission and Samus Returns are reimaginings with the same plots as the original games, you can play either or.
They still step over in the canon, not that they really contradict each other. Zero Mission simply add more.

But either way, you can still play both versions.

>>388814350
I really don't know what's wrong with reddit but I finally saw the entitlement there when it came to newfags and Primefags downvoting the classic fans who weren't even shitposting.

it's september in like 5.5 hours

>>388815175
The game still won't be out, though, even then.

The chozo aren't even mentioned in Other M, which is a rather massive fuck up for a game that's allegedly about exploring the character's past. It's like if you made a movie about Worf, but completely left out that he was raised on Earth.

Other M solved a lot of mysteries such as why Nightmare and Ridley appeared in Fusion and Adam's story.

Only thing it contradicted was Prime shit which isn't even a part of that main story.

>>388833189
>>Other M presents Adam as Samus' true parental figure
The game never stated he was the "real true one" just that he was one. No exclusive.

>>directly contradicting Zero Mission's post credits ending
It doesn't.
>The chozo aren't even mentioned in Other M, which is a rather massive fuck up for a game that's allegedly about exploring the character's past.
Not even mentionning the Chozo was a big fuck up, but let's be honest, the game actually focused on Samus past when she worked for the FF.

>>388833342
>>suit fades away when Samus is emotionally wrecked or knocked out in Other M

It's not a contradiction. The Xs are conscious being and simply maintained the suit on when they took over Samus.

>>388833741
Not only would that be adorable, but it's far more interesting an idea. Samus was raised by a culture of ancient, deeply spiritual, former warriors who shunned their violent ways and turned to science and introspection. That's the environment she was in during her formative years, and that's a way better story than some asshole she used to work for.

I actually am hoping for some cute bonding shenanigans with the infant metroid. The noble sacrifice was touching and all, but not quite as effective when we really didn't spend much time with it.

Maybe SR will have a ZM style post final boss segment where we have to blow up a pirate ship, this time with the help of our new little friend.

>>388814193
Yeah I've found that the harder the playthrough is, the easier it is to do ridley first

I thought Discord couldn't be as bad as /v/ said, so I tried a Metroid one yesterday. Mere minutes passed until someone pointed out the new timeline Nintendo has on the Samus Returns site and began to argue that Prime wasn't canon while Other M was. A few people pointed out how Other M contradicts every single other game, but he persisted. Then everyone else begged to change the topic. It was awful.

Also, you fuckers better play some Super ROMhacks. There's some good shit out there.

>>388834621
>Samus was raised by a culture of ancient, deeply spiritual, former warriors

My headcanon on why Samus left the Federation military was because rules and regulations conflicted with her Chozo upbringing.

>>388834097

Why wouldn't I? The future is there so I'm going to use it

>>388835116
Primefags are entitled, you should know this by now if they're not mentioned, Primefags will go on a bitch fit because they believe that Nintendo is treating their series like it's non-canon which isn't what Nintendo is doing at all. Sakamoto was only involved in Metroid/Zero Mission, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Other M, and now Metroid II because of Samus Returns he has nothing to do with the Prime series so why should he mention them.

>>388822898
I've lived in indiana for like 20 years, fuck winter in the ass with a saguaro. I'm not pleased that summer's ending.

>>388832140
by sakamoto's word, yes. but either its plot or its attempt at worldbuilding conflicts with the canon from every other game in the series, so either Other M isn't canon or it's the only canon game.

>>388835428
A reasonable assumption, but Samus has always been portrayed as a loner who does what she wants when she wants, so it's probably nothing deeper than "I don't like taking orders.".

>>388835857
maybe it was a combination of the two, like if her "I don't like taking orders" sentiment was instilled by an emphasis on independent thought and moral compass in chozo society

>>388830238
>it's a texture and not actually a fusion suit model
RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>388836021
They're not important to the main plot.

>>388834824
>Level design is subpar,
Level design is actually quite good, but is ruined by being streamlined into a linear game whereas it would have do great in a non linear game.

>even the ost is boring.
The main problem is how often it get to be absent.

>>388836021
I think that anon was referring to the main narrative of the series. Prime has its own plot, remember.

I mean, yeah, still play them cause they're good games, but still, they're a different story.

>>388835518
>Primefags are entitled,
Read again, he was talking about an anti-prime fag.

>>388836123
Even if its a retexture it still looks better than the original fusion suit.

>>388836228
>Level design is quite good
I don't know about "quite good", but it is a little better than people give it credit for since that one part at the end where they unlock the doors and they finally give you a fucking metroid game, the game got to be quite fun.

Looking for missile tanks in the game's level design was the one time in the entire pile of shit that it felt like the idea of a 3rd-person 3d metroid was actually utilized.

>>388834621
>and that's a way better story than some asshole she used to work for.
That's the story of her late teenagehood to early adulthood. Chozo is her choldhood.

When she remember the past, it must almost feel like a fairy tale, to her, single human living among all those strange creatures, feeling like she is the center of the world.

>>388835801
Hey, the story has always been a part of what interested me in Metroid.

>>388836316
Whoops but it still doesn't change the fact that reddit is filled with entitled Primefags that consider the Prime games better than the 2D games and will downvote anyone that says otherwise. God, I thought reddit would be a good play to talk about Halo and Metroid until I found out they're Waypoint and Primefags, Even Halo Archive doesn't like them.

>>388836484
I seem to recall prior canon stating that she was with the chozo until she was a fully grown adult, but I like that headcanon about her early childhood

>>388836594
*place

>>388836123
Please, learn to use your eyes better, it's clearly not a texture. You can see the pauldrons have literally different shapes.

>>388836621
>I seem to recall prior canon stating that she was with the chozo until she was a fully grown adult
Fusion state she used to be in the Federation force.

She most likely joined after the destruction of Zebes.

>>388836594
why do people compare halo and prime

>>388836484
>fairy tale
I mean, Old Bird is more or less a kindly wizard, Mother Brain is a wicked stepmother/witch, and Ridley is literally an evil dragon. Hell, Samus herself is the errant knight in shining armor. ... Probably a coincidence.

>>388837085
Nevr understood that myself, they've nothing in common apart space and badass protag.

>>388837085
I think Prime fans did because Prime went first person. The Halo series and the Prime series are so different that it's not even funny. Halo has more similarities with 2D Metroid ignoring that Halo is an FPS and Metroid is 2D series.

>>388837085
same reason they compare halo and doom
xbox kids think master chief invented space armor and fps

>>388837085
Autism that makes them think all FPSs are dudebro games.

Other M says otherwise

>>388837271
>I think Prime fans did
Being compared to halo was a derogatory term why would fans willingly insult their own game?

>>388837085
Halo was a shooter that incorporated elements of an adventure game (the original, not stuff like 3/reach. the original had you on your own without waypoints to explore quite often), whilst prime was an adventure game that incorporated elements of shooters.

Add to that the fact that they were both sci-fi games popular in the mid-00's and they were exclusives to different consoles, thus embroiling console rivalry, and there you have it. Fans of the two were constantly at each other's throats back when I was in middle school

>>388837045
she left the federation before the events of zero mission you daft cunt.

>>388837085
Um, armored protagonist, first person, space monsters, mysterious precursor species, evil alien coalition... Basically a bunch of incredibly superficial shit that was frankly always common to sci-fi video games, even at the time. What next, we gonna start comparing Metroid and Halo to Doom too?

It's September now, congratulations >>388836453

>>388837473
and they were released a month apart too right?

>>388837445
I really don't know, I could never see the similarities between the two, I saw similarities between 2D Metroid and FPS Halo from a story/universe standpoint but that's it.

>>388837473
But Halo 1 did have waypoints and Halo 3 returned to the more opened environments of Halo 1, you're right about Reach though.
