honestly the original metroid was cool in 1986 but i beat that shit a while back and it wasn't even that fun so fuck it

7/17/2009 4:31:16 AM

I still have fun with the original Metroid every so often

especially when I try to figure it out without cheats and maps and stuff


super metroid still pwns all games though

7/17/2009 4:31:53 AM

i figured the original out without the cheats and maps and shit and still found it to be a pain in the ass.

i love super metroid, but if i had the choice between playing through that and prime, i would choose prime. not saying it's a better game or anything, but it's harder than super the first time through, and it will keep you more entertained for longer.

7/17/2009 4:33:49 AM

what system is that for

7/17/2009 4:34:13 AM

gamecube

7/17/2009 4:35:05 AM

ah

well I could probably figure it out then

"newer" games are tough for me

7/17/2009 4:35:23 AM

^ old

but honestly if you're as old as you are in your profile or whatever then it shouldnt be that hard

[Edited on July 17, 2009 at 4:37 AM. Reason : .]

7/17/2009 4:36:19 AM

yeah

I feel old as hell too

7/17/2009 4:36:50 AM

you just have to move your thumbs a little faster

7/17/2009 4:38:10 AM

I'm still pretty quick

even in my old age

7/17/2009 4:38:30 AM

give it a try some time. especially if you have a wii

7/17/2009 4:39:33 AM

fuck

I need to fire up another game of super metroid

8/8/2009 12:36:55 AM

listening to the Super Metroid soundtrack

9/8/2009 12:19:44 AM

If you have a wii you should check out the trilogy, you can play the GC games with Wii controls.

9/8/2009 12:33:48 AM

I need to play some super metroid

or metroid

9/13/2009 9:57:13 PM

Metroid II on the Super GameBoy

9/13/2009 9:57:43 PM

is that fun?

I have it

9/13/2009 9:59:25 PM

9/13/2009 10:00:29 PM

^You should definitely check this game out if you enjoy the 2-D Metroid games.


Super Metroid remains as one my favorite video games in history. I'd encourage you to also play Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion on the GBA. The Castlevania series are similar (non-linear sidescrollers) but not as good as the Metroid series.

9/13/2009 10:41:39 PM

Super Metroid is still the best 2d game ever made.

The first Metroid Prime game was a damn near perfect translation of the franchise into 3d.
Prime 2 & 3 were fun, but decided to go with a more "extreme"/shoot-em-up angle that wasn't true to the series.

9/13/2009 10:55:56 PM

should I download Super Metroid for the Wii virtual console


or just be content that I own the cartridge already

I can't step into 3D games very easily

Super Mario 64 is tough enough for me

12/6/2009 11:29:01 PM

I can always play Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. The Metroid Prime series is fucking brilliant and gorgeous.

12/6/2009 11:29:07 PM

I am literally in love with Super Metroid

IN LOVE

12/6/2009 11:29:29 PM

What would Miley say?

12/6/2009 11:30:31 PM

I don't know dude

I imagine it would be pretty tough for her

12/6/2009 11:31:09 PM

I had Metroid II for the GB onceuponatime

12/6/2009 11:33:16 PM

I picked that up (the gb metroid) at ed mckay cause it was like 5 bucks one time I think

that and Bubble Bobble for about 4

12/6/2009 11:36:54 PM

I wholeheartedly agree with whoever said Prime 1 was a damn near perfect translation of the series into 3D. There were so many ways they could have fucked it up, but they nailed it, and in my eyes Prime 1 stands out in the series every bit as much as Super Metroid does. Everything you loved about SM is there in Prime; the desolate atmosphere, the lonely vibe, variety of terrain, awesome music, epic bosses, and of course the exploration. One of my favorite features of Prime 1 was that, like Super, you had no idea where to go and what to do in the game. You are virtually left alone in the game with only your wits to guide you (okay, so this is only half true.........there is a Hint system for all the non-purists out there, but you do have the option to turn it off). It might be hard to believe how successful Prime was in re-capturing the feeling and atmosphere of Super, but I have yet to see a franchise translated into 3D with greater precision than Prime 1 did from Super. Prime 2 and 3 were great games in their own right, but they were definitely deviations of the classic Metroid feel that the original and Super were known for and that Prime successfully emulated to damn near the tiniest detail. If you are a fan of the Metroid series and especially Super, I highly recommend picking up Prime 1 and playing it. I guarantee you that you will not be let down.

12/7/2009 2:43:07 AM

I might give it a try

12/7/2009 2:49:00 AM

I have yet to finish Prime. Don't get me wrong, I liked it and all but I will be buried with my copy of Super Metroid.

12/7/2009 3:09:19 AM

Super Metroid is perfection

12/7/2009 3:26:58 AM

I should go ahead and get it for the virtual console

I don't know if it's worth 8 bucks though
I guess that's a decent price

12/7/2009 3:05:37 PM

I meant to say "should I" get it

and I think I will sometime soon

or will I?

12/7/2009 6:46:10 PM

ok

is it gonna be:

Super Metroid
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World


that I buy next for the virtual console?

12/8/2009 2:35:58 PM

Are you used to the switching of the "A" and "B" buttons? That totally dicked me over for Super Mario World.

12/8/2009 2:37:29 PM

can you not configure it?

12/8/2009 2:38:08 PM

did you get a wii to play anything other than NES/SNES games?

12/8/2009 2:40:05 PM

just rock band, and the beatles rb, wii fit, mario party 8

lately I've just been using it for nes games though

Shit maybe. :palmface: I don't own a Wii, so I wouldn't know. I just hated playing the port on other people's Wiis.
