What's the difference between this version and the other one?

It doesn't even work for me, all it does is throw an unhandled exception and close. Trying to play on a netbook with Intel Atom CPU and Intel GMA graphics, WinXP OS. Is such a setup supported? The readme speaks only of a DX9.0 requirement (which is trivially satisfied unless you're running pre-SP2 XP or older).

>>3418976
Have you tried running it in compatibility mode for other operating systems?

how the fuck do i get out of here

>>3418991
Yea, same thing (not that I'd hoped for compatibility with 2k or 98/ME to help much anyway).

I'll look into installing some of the later VC++ redistributables which may be missing. .NET frameworks are as up-to-date as possible on XP (1.0/1.1/2.0/3.0/3.5/4.0 with respective updates), if 4.5 is needed then XP wouldn't be supported as there's no .NET 4.5 framework for XP.

Update: the only missing one was vc2015, but installing it changed nothing. I'm not sure what else I could do now except hoping for a patch of the game, as there's no more relevant updates to install I could think of.

Unfortunately, as AM2R was made in Gamemaker, I think compatibility patches are unlikely. For the game to be compatible with different versions of Windows, it would need to be ported to different versions of Gamemaker.

I had a nice little conversation with Daniel Remar (creator of Iji) a few months ago, and he told me something to that effect.

I'm just gonna take this moment to plug Iji. It's a great freeware Windows game with some Metroid influences; it's definitely worth a download if you enjoy AM2R.

I wasn't able to. Sadly it's one of those mistakes the devs forgot to fix before public release. You have to go through the bottom entrance into the Tower and do that part first.

jeez, is a bitch to get the ice beam now

Can anyone confirm the max number of missiles in the game? I'm having a hell of a time killing the Queen Metorid with 240 regular and 18 super missiles. I'm constantly getting to her last stage and running out of missiles. Might as well be instant death when you run out. I'm probably just missing way too much but am I missing a shit ton?

Alright, so where IS the Ice Beam? I've gone as far as fighting three Zetas, and I still haven't found it.

>>3420097

tell nintendo to sell the rights to machine games, so they can make proper Prime game and give 2d to someone capable like the guys who made Axiom verge

>>3420119

>Underwater underneath the Distribution Centre, you'll find a room filled with missile blocks, and behind that room a morph ball transport. Find there and you'll find what you need

>>3420080
250 total missiles.

If you're running out on the Queen you're doing it wrong.

When the top of her head lights up and she steps back to launch the green things, switch to beam (NOT missiles) and shoot the green things, they drop health and regular/super missiles.

>>3419746
Works fine on my xp64 machine, but I have a discrete GPU and i3 so that might be it?

>>3420119
Unlike the original Metroid 2, the ice beam is a very late-game powerup. It's either the second-to-last or the last upgrade, IIRC

>>3420348
That would explain that then, I thought it was so weird that I hadn't found it in over three hours of playing this.

Has anyone been able to get this to run on a Windows (x86) tablet? The game launches, the music plays, but it's just a black screen with no video. I've tried compatibility modes and running as admin, any ideas?

Is it possible to get back to the very bottom of the Reactor Core area after the meltdown?

The minimap shows pathways where the elevator is

>>3420485
Endgame item and doesn't work on metroids.

>>3420545
After you get the screw attack, there's a room in the tower area above the core with a morphball chute that gives access to a lower area, I don't think it was much of it tho.

>>3418928

>>3418928

How has the Japanese fan reception been like?

>>3420723

>playing gaijin fangames
Baka.

I'm assuming that this game is only written for Windows OS.
Or is there a GNU/Linux version available?
Because I don't really want to compile WINE just to be able to play one game.

>charge beam doesn't hurt metroids

Then what's the point of this item? Standard shots injure all bosses, and the charged projectile moves so fast that once you get wave+spazer and everything past that you do minimal damage to enemies because of the fast travelling projectiles.

I'm only annoyed about this because of the reduced missile count in hard mode, I ran out of missiles in my first Zeta encounter and I had to run, feels shitty man

>>3420120

Axiom verge sucked though, combat was really bad, 80% of the weapons are useless, the music was mediocre, the sound effects were mostly generated with that lazy as fuck "retro" sound generator hipsters rely on.

The only good things were the coat powerups and the drone when fully upgraded.

the story is a mess too

>>3420723
Metroid wasn't ever much popular in Japan to begin with, so dunno.

>>3420754
Axiom Verge would have been better with fewer weapon upgrades. And the entire game was made by one guy. Wasnt bad for a solo project.

You're right, I really shouldn't be so harsh on it. For a one man army effort it's impressive. It just suffers from feature creep.

It just felt really uncessary to add like 18 different weapons, 3 of which are super duper rare finds that you can only find one of each per run, weapon power upgrades AND projectile size upgrades.

>>3420740

I'm sure there are at least some who are playing it...

>>3420320
>I have a discrete GPU and i3 so that might be it?
Come on, it's a DX9 Gamemaker game, why wouldn't it work on an Atom CPU and Intel GMA graphics?

>>3420752
Holding a charge while spin jumping lets you do a semi-screw attack, though I don't know how effective it is on hard mode. Also, holding a charge has a slight magnetization effect on item drops.

>>3420836

The semi screw attack is a novelty at best and mainly used to kill flying creatures for a quick burst of resources, though I'll give you the tractor beam effect is useful.

God damn it why doesn't the charge beam work on metroids though, the whole purpose of the charge beam in Super Metroid was a failsafe if you ran out of ammo in the middle of a boss fight

>>3420838

Bombs work on netroids though

>>3420843

are you sure? I've tried using the charge scatter bomb trick and it doesn't hurt them at all.

>>3420848

Metroids have to be frozen I think or you have to be in their mouth

>>3420871

By metroids I'm referring to the various evolutions of the metroids. Alphas, Gammas, Zetas, and Omegas.

If you run out of missiles you can't injure them

>Go back to the beginning area partially through the game after getting the screw attack
>Sun is setting, music is more mellow
>Changes again at the end of the game

Neat

>>3419871
It's brutal. Thankfully, you can easily sequence break with a little bomb jumping and get the Spazer Beam in advance of the fight which makes it a lot more manageable.

>>3420740

following what i heard on Le ddit nintendo and metroid, they loved it

and this is because the japanese public LOVED metroid prime and the NuDOOM

Hey, do we have linux support for this?

>>3421095

he's planning to do that

>>3420485
That tends to be the case in most Metroid games. There's a reason it's acquired towards the end game usually.

>>3421095
>>3421108
He is planning it, but don't hold your breath with the DMCA takedown shit going on.

Absolutely fantastic. For me it goes

Super > AM2R > M1 > Fusion = ZM > M2

I hate how Fusion and ZM handholded you. ZM was cool and had some sequence breaks but fusion had very original setting. M2 is very clunky and i did not grow up with it. I love original metroid, controls and feels great for nes game and exploration is there.

AM2R had the same linear world as M2 but it didn't constantly tell you where to go like ZM. They only told you that "now you can proceed to next area" with the earthquakes. In each zone you could pick the powerups in whatever order you liked, so each zone was non-linear on their own. With these qualities it felt like you were free and on your own.

Super may have very connected world but there is pretty much just one way to go. Super fell apart only when exploits and shit were found. (i'm pretty sure that mockball for example isn't intended feature). With wall-jumping you only got spazer and maybe bombs a little early, but not much. Biggest thing was that with wall-jump and sparking the grabble beam was rendered useless.

Music of AM2R: spectacular. I really loved it. I cannot say more.

Graphics were awesome, some say that metroids felt "fan gamey" but i don't agree. Sprites and level design felt very professional to me.

I did not run into any glitches. I did afterwards try the trick to get power bombs early with the out-of-bounds glitch. The glitch is pretty broken imo because you can use it to skip straight t queen anyway.


Can you recommend good Super hacks? I'm aware of redesign, hyper and super zero mission.

Super Metroid Escape 2 seems like it has some genuinely cool features, including a secret beam weapon and a slower, steerable shinespark

Zero mission is simply a remake of M1, its good, it has better gameplay and a few extras

id suggest playing both

>>3421246
Zero Mission -> AM2R -> Super Metroid -> Metroid Fusion

would be the preferred order if you want the best versions and keep the series chronology. Zero Mission will also ease you in well as it has plenty of hinting where to go etc.

>>3421663
Sure do games age, for better or worse. Unfortunately the two original Metroid games didn't age all too gracefully, and it's arguably better for a person who in 2016 is new to the series to start out with the remakes (if becase of nothing else then due to the fact that the chance he'll actually complete the games is much higher that way).

Have there been any updates since the original release? I'm just curious since I'd no idea where to check for that and I'm about to try it out in an hour or two.

>>3418928
Is there an option to play the game in a window? I want to play remotely on my Windows machine at work, but fullscreen doesn't rdekstop well.

As with any series, start with the first one and play them in order of release, including remakes. You can easily get them all for free so you have no reason not to try them all.

If you find yourself not enjoying one, don't worry about dropping it and moving to the next game.

shinespark senpai.
It's actually pretty surprising because I think it's a mandatory shinespark to progress the story, which is unusual. I like moderate sequence breaking using walljumps, morph bombing and shinesparks when possible, and for a while I thought that I was sequence breaking gong through that path, but I'm pretty sure that's where you are suppsoed to go.

>It's not like I can jump up onto the box since I'll just shinespark into the ceiling.
If you're moving sideways you can jump without using the spark, then just spark off the box.

You can also spark in morphball, and reset the spark by hitting down on a surface during it.

Yes, definitely. It's one of the very few that live up to its reputation IMO.

It just won't be really obvious as to why until you start speed running it a few times and learning just how open ended it really is. Much like SFII, the glitches/oversights add so much more to the game than you can imagine.

You should have activated something that makes drones deploy blue balls all over the place. Use bombs and missiles to launch the balls into those grey statues with the circular slot to open grey doors.

In hindisght, i think my favorite boss in am2r was The Tester. Really tough, bullet-like attacks, demanded skill in vertical mobility and you had to use all of your attacks. I really like his music too:

How would a reverse Metroid work? We've had every game so far start with Samus losing all her shit like it's that time of month, what about a game where the suit starts fully upgraded and loses power over time, so the faster you get the more upgrades are preserved for the endgame.

>>3423453
Haha, not that guy, but back in 2002 when Metroid Fusion came out it was my first Metroid game, then I bought Metroid 2 Return of Samus on Ebay (obviously Zero Mission wasn't out yet otherwise I woulda gone to that next) with my pocket money to play on my GBA and I had the same problem.

I was stuck for like 30 minutes wondering how to open the first red door to get bombs due to being accustomed to finding the security station things in Fusion and had to use my extremely slow shit internet to check the internet to find out.

It's funny that someone could have the same problem in the remake 14 years after it happened to me.

How do you run in place or do the fancy running required for the secrets in the end game? I've beet the game but I have some secrets missing

yes, I googled it

>>3423560
You're asking how to shinespark?

You have to find a long surface where you can run unobstructed, and as soon as Samus is speed-boosting, press down to store a shinespark. Then you can press jump and a directional button, and Samus will fly in that direction.

Tbh Fusion isn't the best to start with, as it does many things quite differently to the other Metroid games.

It's better to just skip fusion altogether.

This is kind of a stupid question, but why is Mother Brain in both Metroid 1 and Super Metroid? Is it ever explained how Mother Brain was able to be resurrected? Did the space pirates have a backup of her DNA or something?

>>3423717
Has anyone ever tried to "fix" Metroid Fusion?

Like, a romhack that keeps all the same bosses and powerups and basic structure of the game, but removing the bullshit security clearances and making it so you can actually explore at your own pace, and sequence break, etc.?

>>3423725
Security clearances weren't /that/ annoying, and you can just use an emulator to speed through the shitty dialogue which is the main problem.

Yeah, that's really Metroid-esque.

Fusion did bring some good stuff to the table though. the SA-X encounters are all ass clenchingly tense on a first time run. I also like holding R to arm missiles, makes it easy to switch between beam and missile attacks.

Modern games are just so shit man, what happened

>>3424763
Since Zero Mission, yeah

>>3422825
Strats for fighting zetas:

Slowly approach the metroid until you can see it on the edge of your screen, and fire off a super missile. It's a free hit.

Zeta metroids are most vulnerable right after a jump, and when doing their acid spit. Pop off a super missile when you see an opening.

Then once you've run out of supers, you can just spam missiles until it's dead.

>>3424906
Super pussy method: every Zeta/Omega room has a bit by the entrance where you can hide. At most you'll take breath attack damage (rarely), and can just pop out and shoot it.

probably the best game I played in a long while

took me a while because I'm an idiot who cant notice doorways

>>3424836
The industry got too big. Games aren't made out of passion anymore but for profit, targeting "wider audiences" without any concern for quality.

The only good modern games now are indies and the occasional exception

I finished it today and I'm going back to beat SM but I hate the floaty controls and jumps

I found a rom hack that changes the psychics though

having to spend 5 missiles to open a door is kind of silly

That said, i find it rather fitting in my own context. Over the past week, i've played Zero Mission and AM2R, returning to Zebes in Super and seeing how it has changed makes the missile cost thematically appropriate, like the pirates there have reinforced the doors after having to deal with Samus from before.

You're objectively wrong

>>3425518
I need to replay am2r soon and find that room
I can only do basic shinespark puzzles because i get so tense when i get the charge and quickly lose it by mistake

>>3425520
I felt the same way until I figured out the trick to get the reset consistently

>>3425512
Zero Mission was ok for what it was, Fusion is the terrible game. It's even more lineal and handholding and constantly interrupts the gameplay flow with their shitty story.

>>3425539
I love fusion

fusion has the best atmosphere in my opinion since you are alone on a ship with a demon on your tail

there is no metroid that feels the same way to me

fusion imo is only really hand holding in the beginning of the game, but I understand why that puts people off

also I believe fusion is the most straight forward, this is a bad or good thing but for me I just dont like bombing every tile in the room to find where I am to go

>>3425539

The good thing about having missed out on the Metroid series as a kid that I can finally get into it now and I can confidently say that this is precisely the games i have been looking for ever since i got burnt out on playing Dark Souls for months on end. Id even say that the kind of level design in Metroid is my favorite of any game. It almost makes me want try out Symphony if the Night, if the leveling system didnt turn me away

There's a cheat code that essentially freezes you at level 1, and the difficulty is still pretty manageable.

Well, I'm at 99% and I can't figure out where the last thing is. There's nothing on the map to show uncollected items so it's either well hidden or on the same tile as a major pick-up.
How many total missiles/super missiles/power bombs are there? 255/20/20?

>>3426698
250/20/20

There's a missile tank in the tower with the 2 vertical tubes that isn't marked on the map.

That doesn't really fix the problem, it just makes everything a tedious damage sponge. Imagine having to spend a minute to kill a single mob in a late game area, doing 1 damage per hit

A thing is retro console or using a retro computer to play old games, but using an outdated machine as your main PC is dumb. I won't even say "security" because XP is falling so behind that nobody is trying to exploit it anymore, but still, you can't properly use on it any modern program or comodities such as USB 3.0.

>>3428776
I'm not 100% sure but I think that you missed a passage somewhere all the way to the right as far as you explored (towards the boss room). I do remember that there's a hidden passage which isn't totally obvious at first, maybe you need to bomb some wall or find some nook or somesuch.

>>3428786
Ah ok, I found it.
Progression in this game is more vague than in AM2R and especially ZM

>>3428796
There was a somewhat hidden passage towards the boss room, was there?

>Progression in this game is more vague than in AM2R and especially ZM
It sure is. I'd say Super Metroid is the sweet spot between the two previous (Metroid and Return of Samus) and the two later (Fusion and Zero Mission) games - it's not as clunky, confusing and unforgiving anymore as the former ones, but doesn't have all the hinting and handholding the latter ones are known for.

>There was a somewhat hidden passage towards the boss room, was there?
pic related was it

Yeah, Zero Mission really felt like it was intended for those new to the series. I'm glad I've chosen to play the series the way I have over the past week or so, treating ZM, AM2R, and SM as if they were all one game. Chapter 1: Zero Mission, Chapter 2: Return of Samus, and Chapter 3: Super Metroid, with each one getting more difficult.

I dont think the floaty physics in Sm are as bad as people have made it out to be. THe morph ball bomb-jumping is definitely way harder though because you have to push the bomb button way more slowly and the timing is harder

I wish shinesparking worked the same way in Super Metroid as it does in AM2R

Horizontal shinesparking ni AM2R is easy, just press jump then the direction

In Super Metroid you have to press the direction after jump extremely fast, or at the same time

1.1 is out. Get it while you can.

There is zero reason to play it now that DS online is dead; the single player campaign was mediocre as hell.

>>3429579
I'd say both Hunters and Pinball should be in skip, while the original Metroid 1 and 2 should be considered optional for those interested.

Is there any hack for the original Metroid that makes refilling your energy not so fucking dull and annoying? I don't mind mapping my way through the game since the enviroment is a lot simpler than in later entries, but wasting so much time beating weak enemies kills all the fun.

>>3429651

>>3429651

Your health should never be very low unless you've just fought Kraid; and even then, there's an energy tank right in Kraid's room.

>>3429673
I just don't get it, there's two hacks and a lua script that adds a map the game doesn't really need, but apparently everyone is fine with this tedious task?

AM2R just gives you that right away

I'm glad to see thought that once you get the beam upgrades, the game gets dramatically easier. At least Ice Beam isn't at the very end this time either

Man, i was stuck in Norfair for a really long time, probably the biggest difficulty spike so far but the pay off is that is the area where you get the Spazer, Wave Beam, AND Ice beam and now going through the areas is now trivial. Super Metroid is really cool so far. I cant say if I like it more than AM2R until i beat it though because that game is my favorite metroid game so far (granted I've only played M1, ZM, and these two)

Anyone playing this on windowed mode that is having the same issue as me? Whenever I start the game, the game screen starts blinking, and it gets worse when I open the options menu. The only way to fix it is to switch to fullscreen mode, disable V-Sync, enable it again and switch to windowed mode. It's gotten really annoying.

how about the glass breaking thing? I know the previous room look similar but I still think it is more cryptic that it should be

>>3430460

for me, it always felt that metroid timeline was after classic DOOM 64, mankind rebuilds itself, uac becomes galFED and many many years later samus is born

and Phaaze was Planet dragged out of hell, after an portal experiment led by the same aliens that discovered hell

did it delete your savestates too? I always makes a new save state when i save just in case of something like thst

Are these guys unkillable?

for now, I think so

shinespark might work

What is wrong with Federation Force? I haven't heard about it since the first trailer but it looked fun

>>3430580
You'd be surprised how quick it goes when you know where you're going and have checked the rooms for powerups already. You can easily beat the game in a day. In a couple hours if you've played it through once before as well.

Here is a better chart than
>>3421621

>>3430580
SRAM is part of a savestate. Thus, if you load an earlier savestate, you will also restore the earlier SRAM and lose your current in-game saves. To prevent that, always make a new save state to revert to before loading an old one.

(Tbh dunno if that's what was your problem, but it's an old issue for people to losing their in-game progress and not knowing why, so I thought I'd mention it.)

anybody else like to play metroid games (including newer ones) without the automap? I usually put a card in front of the little on-HUD map and never open the menu one. It bugs me that these games would act as exploration games but would give away all the places you had to go. Later games in the series are particularly bad about this.

>>3431189
So a Metroid game is either bad because it babysits you, or it's bad because it doesn't. Ok.

How do i get into this area?

This boss is really shitty, easily the worst one the game so far.

>>3431401
both maridia bosses are shit

>>3431401
yeah, but at least it has a nice tecnology way to kill him. Too bad is kind of hard to pull off

Explain this, metroid fans!

what was that? I just ended up bruteforcing it

>what was that? I just ended up bruteforcing it
you can blow the electric turret on the side of the arena right? If you latch to them with the grapple beam you'll get electrocuted and lose life.
If draygon grabs you while this is happening he does too, and if you have a certain number of E-tanks you survive and he dies

They're killable once you have the plasma beam, I think.

Welp that's it then, i've finally beaten Super Metroid. Game was really fucking stellar. Hard to say if I like it more than AM2R although I feel that comparison is unfair since this is an SNES title being compared to 2016 software. The world design is undoubtedly the best it has ever been, even compared to Zero Mission, and the final area of the game is very exciting with a great final boss and ending. If Super Metroid was remade with the game engine of AM2R, with a morph ball button and faster speed and physics, it would unquestionably be the best.

If I would rate the trilogy, it would go AM2R = Super Metroid > Zero Mission. I don't know if I'm going to jump into fusion right away, I may end up emulating Prime before I do that but I finally gave the Metroid games a real chance, this was all great.

>shitty dialogue
At first, I liked the dialogue. I liked the whole "horror movie" vibe the game had going (keep in mind I had never played another metroid)

But in playthroughs it's really annoying at the beginning. You really ought to be able to skip it.

I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME ON MY GBASP
FUCK

If he had made it a ZM romhack it would have been so fucking great

>that moment when it dies and it's essence is absorbed by Samus
;_;

SM has such a great finale, especially after having just beaten ZM and AM2R. Like everything all came together at the end

Are the Prime games any good? I can't emulate them and I don't have a Wii so I'm missing out, but if they aren't that great then I don't really care much.

I spent 20 minutes trying to find the Industrial section last night. I'm ashamed

>>3432045
Prime and Prime 2 are great. Can't comment on 3 because I haven't played it, but I can't imagine the quality drops off that much.

>>3432045

If you're a metroid fan then they're kind of slow. But Prime series is still worth checking out.

Newbie question: I'm playing ZM for the first time and just opened the mouths to the area where Mother Brain is. I got there and got my ass handed to me. Do I just need to git gud or am I not supposed to go straight to that area as soon as it opens?

>>3432112
Unless you're at 100% collection there's probably more energy pods/missiles that could help. Otherwise, yeah, git gud.

>>3418928
Anybody here dabble in ps vita cfw? I feel like am2r and other gamemaker games should be fairly easy to port with henkaku.

Would love to play this game on the go

>>3432116
My timer only says 3 hours and my missile tanks are 95 and 4. I probably have some extra work to do.

>>3432045
The Prime games are good, they're just... different from the 2d games. I don't like prime nearly as much as the sidescrollers, and although I do like them I don't think they're anything special. But I'm sort of the exception to the rule, most people consider prime 1 one of the greatest games of all time.

>>3432123
>I feel like am2r and other gamemaker games should be fairly easy to port
What? No.
Not unless you're planning on writing a game maker interpreter or something. Game Maker is much different than C or C++.

>>3431853

>>3432131
Gamemaker has sony-sanctioned vita support for official developers (or anyone willing to ask sony's permission) and will allow them to publish their games to the playstation store. No one can do this with am2r for obvious reasons, but the vita is capabke of playing gamemaker-created games. So the Vita should be able to run it if someone can homebrew a port of gamemaker.

AM2R is another metroid 2 remake

that implies there is a different remake around?

>>3432148
Several people have attempted it over the years, but have always given up or gotten c&d'd by Nintendo
