Still the best Metroid game. And it's actually about metroids too.

lol no

I liked this game.
It really sucked though - an atmospheric step-down.

>>717215576 (OP)
AM2R is much better

I SURE LOVE CLIMBING VERTICAL SHAFTS ENDLESSLY.

Bro you can't beat the NES game... You don't get to dress this up as a high level opinion. Look at this https://youtu.be/eYLa_2aroU0 Literally nothing better before or since.

No one's stopping you from liking it my brudda

>>717215920
One of the best. I was hoping XFusion would be as good to the point of replacing Fusion but it reeks of romhack autism.

All the Metroid games are about Metroid though, she's in every one. Fuck knows who "Samus" is though or why they called the game that, I hate when games don't explain nigs.

>>717216560
It was neat for a Gameboy game but it was quite a step back from the first game. The screen size is very rough.

>>717216810
>or why they called the game that
the devs said it was named after Metro, and Android.

>>717215576 (OP)
It's an incredibly underrated game.
Super is better, but OG Metroid II is definitely in like the top 3.

>>717216646
Music to lose your mind to. Truly awful. You can immediately tell Chip Tanaka did not compose this... *spit* NOT GOOD ENOUGH

>>717215576 (OP)
even with the screen crunch, it destroys the shit NES game

Mogged by AM2R.

>>717216560
It's good, but it's no Federation Force.

>>717216353
>Other M and Shiteration Shitce on the same level as Zero Mission
bait / 10

Samus Returns > AM2R

All Metroids are the best Metroids ever.

It's a common opinion to the point of being overstated but Metroid 2 has been entirely replaced by AM2R, it's just that good.

a2mr mogs it

Nintendo really should have hired this man a la Sonic Mania, imagine if he and some of the MetCon MVPs got to work with Nintendo on a new game.

>>717216353
Metroid NES belongs under B. Energy farming is the worst fucking part of the game.

>>717217617
It’s the best fan game ever made and the second best Metroid game. The Screw attack sequence is the single best execution of the new ability victory lap trope in the entire genre.

>>717217089
hhhhhhhaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
ITS SUCH A
GOOOOD VIBRATIONNN

>>717215576 (OP)
I liked this game as a kid with only 5 GB games but both the official and unofficial remake are leagues better than the original. Sometimes games do age poorly.

>>717217617
Nah

I was stuck on the last boss as kid and eventually forgot about the game. Around 10 years later decided to pick the game up again, loaded the save and beat it in like 2 tries.

Wait, I thought AM2R got shutdown by Nintendo?

>>717219382
Only after it got released and a toaster-GPU compatibility patch. Still easy to find it.

>>717216301
Yes.

>>717216739
I don't hate it but it's just edgelord difficulty, Metroid games are supposed to be immersive but instead it just becomes minmaxing tedium.

>>717222490
I’m on the Serris fight and might just call it here. Every hit knocks you into spike water and climbing out is a bitch because I keep grabbing the blocks in the water and can’t jump out.

>>717215920
This. I just played it for the first time (1.1 version) and holy shit it actually lived up to the hype. Much better than the remake Nintendo did for 3DS and it's not even close. Not even in the same league.
>>717217617
Yes.

>>717223661
I was really excited to have multiple SA-X on the screen at once like the original game only implied but it's just not fun, which is probably the same thought the Fusion devs had at the time too even if the hardware could support it. Also the dialogue is ESL shit. I'll get back to it eventually but I'm disappointed.

>>717215576 (OP)
>Metroid Zero Mission
>AM2R
>Super Metroid
>Metroid Fusion
The are the only Metroids anyone needs to play. Nintendo lost the plot after the GBA games. Prime is dog shit. Other M is dog shit. the 3DS and Switch games are dog shit.
>t. Metroid fan since 1988

>>717216353
Daily reminder

>>717221958
Damn, that's sexy. Spoiler that shit.

>>717219382
You can still find it on archive. Just get the 1.1 version. The community patches only really add multiplayer and speedrun shit.

>>717224314
What didn't you like about Dread? I had fun with it.

>>717225015
It's tolerable on its own, it's just not great. Metroid was forever tainted by some of the changes they made in Prime, which haven't translated well to the 2D formula but they shove them in anyway. Just parries alone forces you to play in a completely different and not fun way.

What is even the point of this? Fusion already exists.

Dropped.

>>717227038
So it's just some autist's pet project that was never meant to be played by normal people. Got it.

>>717226683
>THIS SUMMER
kek.

>>717227438
You could literally say that about any romhack or fangame.

>>717227574
Couldn't say it about AM2R since it's actually fun and has a reason for existing.

>>717227438
KWAB

man, if he's seething this hard imagine what he'll say when he learns there's also already a zero mission re-imagining in super's engine.

>>717215576 (OP)
it's really awesome for the hardware, but i think the first game edges it out by a bit. still one of the best for sure

>>717215576 (OP)
It's not perfect, there's definitely some tedious bits that super had to finish ironing out but it nails it's premise. the descent into an increasingly alien cave system and facing the escalating threat of the evolved metroids is what the game delivers, no bs or abstraction.

>>717228064
I was actually just trying to bait a summary out of you so I wouldn't have to click the youtube link. I literally have no idea what it's even about. I'll never take a second look at it unless someone eventually lists a selling point in one of these threads.

BELT LEATHER BELT

>>717217924
git gud

>>717217089
Should I play prime 2 with a controller or keyboard with primehack?

>>717226683
Don't play this, at least not right now. It's incredibly poorly balanced and full of poor design choices which is a shame because there are a lot of fun custom made elements in it. I like the idea behind it and there are lots of fun, original moments but it's all gatekeeped behind bullshit.
>INB4 Filtered
Several speedrunners with thousands of hours in these games including other romhacks have said the same thing. It's just not fun to constantly die to trial and error gameplay, even the more recent patch to nerf the damage doesn't change how obnoxious it all generally is to constantly be getting hit by attack patterns that aren't telegraphed very well. There are parts with checkpoints that restart you in the room you just died which exposes how the developer obviously playtested the thing with save states.

>>717215576 (OP)
>introduced a ton of lore that has all been ignored since
>every metroid (the enemy) since, has just been the larva over and over again.

>>717216560
It is a very good game though I recommend playing it fresh from start to finish without any breaks, otherwise you will start to forget the map layout.

>>717231280
Don't tell anyone I showed you this...

Fusion references the metroid life cycle but it weirdly makes the omega weak to the ice beam when it wasn't in Return of Samus.

>game opens with a genertic rape scene
The original Metroid team could NEVER.

Still a better Metroid game than Fusion and Dread.

So is X-Fusion more open than OG Fusion or did Metaquarius retained all the dumb locks forcing you to explore in a more linear paths?

>>717227241
I need that thing on my dick

>>717226816
What was the original?

>>717215576 (OP)
I somehow managed not to get lost when I played this game, maybe I was lucky but it was incredibly satisfying, Samus Returns felt like nothing by comparison, the remake should've been sprite based and more in line with Zero Mission minus extra endings sequences.

>>717224330

Just got to SECT-4-AQA
>We Water Temple now!!
the fun fucking stops here, the boss is still as kino as the original though.

>>717232547
I'd go for the original controls
