How people liked these games is beyond me. The Wii shooting controls barely saves the Prime series. We could have had 2-3 2D Metroids for each one of these shit games.

He's right, I suspect their cult status entirely relies on the fact it was the first/only interaction that Gamecube/Wii kids had with a high budget scifi "FPS".

2D Metroid is great on the other hand

We could, but then they'd just be Fusion. It doesn't matter at the end of the day, the franchise died after SM.

have you tried using missiles? you get quite alot of them
>items aren't fun because the beams are just simon says
this is a fair criticism, yes. you wouldnt like 2 or 3, but those games dont have that issue

You forgot about the part where Samus can stuff her entire body into the confines of a tight hard ball. Fucking slut

I'm always happy to shit on Metroid Prime because it just feels bad to play and I never understood the fascination with it considering how much higher quality the 2D games are.

I still truly believe people fellate the fuck out of Metroid Prime because they only ever played Nintendo games and it was their first experience of anything close to FPS. Just a fucking ongoing gag and people have been fucking with me for years by saying it was good.

Exploring is fun
