>We once had 7 Metroid games released within a 5-year period
If only we knew how good we really had it.
I wish the Zero Mission became a series of Nintendo remaking some of their older games like Kid Icarus, Zelda, and Zelda II.
Metroid's second Renaissance came screeching to a halt thanks to a monumental fuck up. We're now in the second Metroid Dark Ages.
>there will never be a Metroid II remake in the gritty, almost-horror style of Super
I just want to hunt Metroids and be scared of dying, dammit

What honestly was going through his head when he signed of on Other M?
>>333016016
>I am a story-writing genius
>now, years of ideas and thrilling twists will take form on the ultimate medium
>Gamers will relish my dramatic, funny, edgy, suspenseful neo-noir thriller take on Metroid
>ha ha, that Yokoi can't stop me now!
>>333016016
He said outright that he was trying to make a game that would appeal more to the Japanese public. While giving western fans what they asked for (more development for Samus).
I theorize in his head, this meant 'make it more like Metal Gear Solid or Resident Evil'. Trouble is, those games were cheesy from the start and the fans expect it. While Metroid was never intentionally cheesy and story focused until Other M.
>MUH CLASSIC SERIES
maybe it was beaten to death because you couldn't let it go?
>>333017429
>He said outright that he was trying to make a game that would appeal more to the Japanese public.
The good news is thanks to the failure of that piece of shit, I doubt that Nintendo will try something this stupid again. I still see Samus being developed more in the future though, since Sakamoto been wanting to humanize Samus since Fusion. I just hope it's handled more like Fusion in the future.
>>333018548
Even Fusion felt a bit heavy handed with Samus's personality. Then again, maybemy autistic headcanonis skewing my perception of her character
>>333014115
>even has Zero in the title
LIKE POTTERY
Now there's like 700 Metroidvania games a year.
>>333014058
I would absolutely love a Metroid 2 remake that fleshes the game from the inside out and bring it more in line with the other games in the series. Make the Metroid fights more intense, make each area more detailed and defined from the other areas, maybe keep the linear progression, but still allow you to return to areas and find secrets with new items. Make the plot a little more detailed, but only touch on it at the beginning and near the end of the game.
>>333020686
and somehow all of them are awful
>>333021440
For me, Metroid II absolutely has to be linear
>>333014058
>almost-horror style of SuperFusion had it better
>>333021820

Oh I absolutely agree, it was just a different type of horror
>>333013440

We're never going to go back to the franchises' prime are we?no pun intended.
>>333020619
>not realizing it has 3 right in the logo
>>333021440
Metroid II is my favorite game in the series, yet I can admit that it should get a remake. However, some of the things you mentioned are already in the game. You can backtrack at any time to previous areas (except one part where the lava keeps you in the lower parts. And even then, it only takes killing two metroids to move the lava).
And while the game has a clear forward path, it isn't exactly linear. But because it has an optimal path, its also the best game to speedrun. My best time being 1:04. And I'm sure others have done it faster.
>>333020686
There's tons of 2D Action/Platformers each year. But few of them are Metrovanias. Even if some of them take ideas from Metroid.
>>333021820
I think people overstate it a bit.
Yeah, it was tense, bit it wasn't like "LOL INSTANT GAME OVER" if you get caught by SE-X, it was just "bam bam, that'll teach you to not wait for the footsteps to go away'.
I don't care for Fusion because I see it as Proto-Other M though so I might be biased against it. Either way, I respect your opinions and agree that a new dark Metroid would be great.
>>333022149
>>No game has continued the plot of after Fusion since.
That's because Fusion is so awfully written, that it jammed the series into a corner its "writers" couldn't get out of.
>monster of the week parasite is destroyed
>chozo created metroids somehow
>federation is evil now
>last metroid dna used on Samus
>Part metroid now? who knows
>evil government mad at Samus; gets non-ending assurance from Adam
>SR388 is dead
>Space Pirates are dead
>Metroids are dead
>Original Ridley is dead
Every single recognizable aspect of the series was torpedoed in Fusion with nothing left but the boring and generic "evil secret government!" plot that is in a million sci-fi games. Sakamoto felt he had to make an entire other game to explain the events in Fusion... and that game was simply a rehash of Fusion, but less interesting.
>>333022149
Sakamoto did say that when he does come back to Metroid the next game will be a sequel to Fusion, since he has no more in-between stories to tell.
>>333022470
>Part metroid now?
Sakamoto confirmed that her DNA is back to normal so no Metroid DNA.
>>333022680
>when he comes back to Metroid
Hopefully he dies before then.
>>333022309
That's why I felt it like a horror game, you learn to respect your rival or to fear them, since one error means death.
>>333022894
I'm saying that one error didn't mean death, because it didn't. It was pretty easy to get away from the infected Varia Suit.
>>333022470
I think a good way to continue the story is Samus against the corrupt Galactic Federation
And then the Federation hires other bounty hunters to take Samus down
Stuff like that
>>333023386
Same guy here
I don't see how they don't think of doing this
I mean they hinted it so much in Fusion and Other M
>THE GALACTIC FEDERATION IS EVIL
>>333023386
If this happens we as fans would have to "Hunt the Truth".:P
>>333023386
>game starts off with Samus fighting a major threat to the Federation; capturing a rogue alien who is holding an entire planet hostage
>she saves the day and everyone in the Federation welcomes her back with praise
>then she gets word that Metroids have been spotted deep underground of the planet she just saved
>the real game begins
>>333023386
>Pulling "hunt the truth" with metroid
If the asspull of GFed is going to be made, at least be honest with it and say it was space priates all along infiltrated in the science team (because who else would be stupid to clone Metroids, the strongest beings in the universe that cannot be tamed [proven by again, the billion of stupid tests of the space pirates] and only get stronger if you mutate them) and they have stolen the data that samus collected in the whole series (Metroid DNA, Phazon, Amblic Cluster [prime hunters mcguffin], X parasites and Cybernetic super clones of Kraid, Ridley [again] and Mother Brain) and made a return
>>333023386
only if it's a 3d side scroller. I'm afraid it would take the same turn as dead space 3 did (I never played it though).
Fuck, anything as a 3d side scroller would be great. available both for 3ds and wiiu or whatever

Zero Suit Samus ruined Metroid.
Feminism faggotry aside, Samus was best when she was a sexually-ambiguous bounty hunter in a robot suit who crept around creepy alien worlds and shot ugly space dinosaurs. She was not best when she was some Jap's flat-assed masturbatory material running around in a latex catsuit begging her superior officer if she could shoot her rocket launcher. The concept of the zero suit singlehandedly ruined Metroid pretty much for the foreseeable future, to the point where the zero suit sees more effort put into it in fucking Smash Bros than the actual old school Samus character.
It's infuriating, made more so by the fact that most of /v/ supports the zero suit because it lets them jerk off.
>>333026214
i prefer latex over bikinis
>>333026421
I hate you.
>>333025851
I agree, it would be the perfect evolution for a main numbered game.
>Metroid 8-bit side scroller
>Metroid II 8-bit side scroller with enhanced graphic
>Super Metroid 16-bit side scroller
>Metroid: Fusion 32-bit side scroller
>Metroid: Dread 3D side scroller
The circle would be complete.
>>333026442
Get fucked latex-hater, Latex bodysuits are top tier and old ass leotard Samus is irrelevant
>>333025626
But the galactic federation already proved that they're stupid enough to clone metroidstwice
>>333026442
also samus made a great choice by going in full bimbo mode imho
>revisionist /v/ now claims Zero Mission was what ruined metroid, not Other M as is factually accurate
>>333021440
As long as missiles and health are scarce and require skill unless you want to backtrack to your ship all the time.
Or include a hardmode which would require skill
>>333026653
It kind of did.

I liked Zero Mission but the actual "Zero Mission" part wasn't very good. Getting the real suit back was the best part, everything before that was just annoying. The zero suit is just shit.

I guess I never will.
>>333027063
Use Nintendont or Dolphin to play the GC ones.
>>333027063
Most people think that Metroid Prime Trilogy is the one game that used the wiimote correctly. I'd add Mario Galaxy to that though.
>>333026864
I thought the zero suit part was pretty intense, but I didn't really like the linearity of it.
>>333028154
It's not all that linear. There's a lot of tricks and shortcuts you can use.
>want more metroid to explore
>already beaten everything to hell, nothing left to explore
I just want to play a metroid where speedrunning isn't the only challenge I can milk out of it
>>333027063
I'm replaying MP2 right now and it's so fucking good.
The only thing I miss from the Wii versions of the games are the main menus and title screens.
Good god.
They were so good.

Have you tried Shadow Complex?
That game is a love-letter to Super Metroid.
>>333028289
Have you broken Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 with sequence breaks yet?
>>333028271
I can recall two. I really liked actually feeling scared of the enemies, actually more than SA-X, as their movements were more random. I would like a hard mode where you have to play the entire game in zero mode, but I guess that would be hard to accomplish game design-wise
>>333028442
metroid is the only series where I'll listen to the music outside of the game. sweet living fuck, so good

>>333028509
Prime 1, yeah, but it was a while back and I never really reached true godhood, but I think I did decently well for a casual speedrunner.
Prime 2 I never did much speedrunning, partially because I love the environments and music too much in it to not want to take my time. And the 101% glitch was fun as fuck.
>>333028528
Just watch this, it has them all. There's plenty of nuance in the level design.

I still don't get how he's able to stun the first pirate, that one always sees me and it cuts the stealth music short.
>>333028541
Have you heard Harmony of a Hunter? Google it if you havn't it's godtier.
>>333028727
Try the "skip item loss" glitch in Prime 2, it's pretty awesome and opens up a lot of variety in routes. I warn you though, it's pretty easy to break your save in Prime 2.
>>333028754
It's TAS, he stuns frame perfect probably
>>333028960
It was a bit too well executed. But still, I kind of liked the part
>>333028727

Really? Please tell me it's true.
Also, is it possible to get metroid fusion for 3ds if you homebrew it?
>>333030435
It's truebut only on New 3DS.Also if you're in the US you'll have to wait until 14th.
>>333030821
14th of what? I'm EU btw
>>333030932
Of april. Super Metroid's already out in EU.
>>333031236
damn, thanks man, didn't know. Do you know if you can homebrew fusion to any 3ds ?
Remember Metroid Dread?
