Thread 719700107

This game turns 8 years old this month. How do you feel about it now? Also reminder it was announced in the same direct as Prime 4.

Probably the worst Metroid. The glowup from this to Dread is insane.

It's damn good. The only big issue is the stop and start with the melee counter, and even that's fine once you get used to it. It also put Samus' character back on track, and made the Gravity Suit actually cool for once.

This was based on a gameboy game, Rajeesh.

I tried to get into metroid by playing fusion. Over the course of a couple of years I'd pick it up, start from the beginning and always drop it because I thought it was bad. Then I picked samus returns, loved it, and picked zero mission and tought it was one of the best games of all time.
So, I like samus returns because it made me see that metroid isn't a shit game.

Absolute dogshit and the counter mechanic is a blight on this game and Dread.

It proved that 3ds screen resolution is restricitng. The game samus returns itself is fine, the first encouter with mining drill robot where you run before it crushes you, and the second encounter where you fight it, were the most difficult levels for me. At these points I thought "this is too hard". Pacing is good. FInal boos is good enough. Metroid prime artstyle is not particularly great for my taste, feels like a toy, but it's not too bad i guess, and you have to remember that this is nintendo and their family-friendly style.

better than dreadslop that doesn't even let you explore in peace because of le chases for zoomies

It's actually shocking that the original game of Metroid 2 on the GameBoy is a better experience than both the 3DS game and the fan remake AM2R. The soundtrack alone is far more creative than either of the remakes are able to achieve, even when you play the remakes, the 3DS version makes you want to play Dread and the fan version just makes you wanna play Zero Mission which are better experiences, but the original is soul. Literally hasn't been topped.

AM2R is infinitely superior to Samus Returns.

>>719700107 (OP)
AM2R was a better game, but this was still pretty good.

It was fun, but it lacks the fun movement tech and speeeeeed that make Super, Zero Mission and Bread so much fun.

>>719700107 (OP)
Played it 2 years ago on my n3ds and enjoyed it quite much. Nothing groundbreaking or memorable but a solid well made game.
Idk why manchildren retards threw a fit over it so much

>>719700107 (OP)
It's ok but I've only replayed it a single time since release.

Smash Bros was a mistake.

That's Metroid fans for you. If a game isn't EXACTLY 100% JUST LIKE SUPER METROID they'll throw an autistic shitfit.
