Got to Master League last night. Game is stupid fun, but holy crap do Ultra League players tilt WAY too easily. The amount of surrender prompts I have to vote against is insane. People want to give up so easily, and so early. I would think high ranking players would know it's anyone's game until at least Zapdos is down...

Metroid 2 replay finished. Played a rom hack that gave it full GBC support, but on a repro cart so I could play it on my Game Boy Player. Also I did both Metroid 1 and Zero Mission in this replay, probably not gonna do AM2R or Samus Returns replays here because I'm pretty much just sticking to what I can play on a console

the question here is going forward obviously I'm going to replay Super Metroid. That's on everything so I can just play it on Switch

Fusion is on the Wii U Virtual Console so I have a TV solution there

but

do I also replay Other M

it's not one of the numbered mainline games, but it is 2D in a way

and I'm not going to replay it any other way

I'm saving replaying the Primes for when Prime 4 is coming out

It is only 2D in the sense that it continues the 2D Metroid story...horribly.

That video was really fun! You come off very likeable which should serve you well in your YouTube career. I really like videos like this where people talk over their memories and experiences with games they love because it makes me think of my own memories with those things.

In terms of the games themselves, I think you may have undersold how terrible the 30 health thing is in Metroid 1. It makes the game just unplayable to me, which is a shame because as much as I hate Metroid 1 as a game I absolutely adore it as an aesthetic. The more polished and "defined" the games become, the more they lose the "anything can happen" feel and I think the 4 games in this video show it happening on an almost linear curve. As much as the reused tilesets made navigating Metroid 1 a pain, it made it incredibly easy to believe that there could be an enormous additional area just beyond any small passageway. Later games, with more bespoke environmental art, have a better presentation but no longer feel as limitless because you just know they only drew so many environments. Naturally, Super Metroid probably hits the sweet spot between those two poles the best.

Wow thank you, that means a lot! I do too, I've been heavily influenced by many Youtubers and those who keep things relatively positive while giving criticism is much better than the rage-y vein poppers. I also love hearing people's memories with games, its just good wholesome shit.

And yeah, without a Map or Save States, vanilla Metroid is NOT forgiving at all. I guess I breezed over it since in my last run I never died, though I was always acutely aware of my Energy and farmed a bit whenever it got too low. I also didn't mention there is one way to refill your energy instantly, finding an E tank. And with a map that's not so hard to do.

I mean, something that's worse doesn't necessarily mean the thing its worse than is great.

The handling of lore in the 2D Metroid games I thought was fantastic, especially Super Metroid. You can gather what happened best on what you see, come across, notice, and intuit. Stopping your movement to fill a bar up and read a bunch of text boxes over and over and over again absolutely murders the pacing.

It's Prime that I can't think of how to make better than the first one.

All you have to do to be better than Super is not do the dumbfuck things the gba games did while doing the smartshit things they did.

Make it faster, get rid of the scan visor entirely.

I'd honestly rather replay Zero Mission than Super.

Oh me too, but the sheer amount of variability in what you can pull off in Super is much higher than Zero Mission because of the momentum system alone.

I think you still need to get them, since Adam mentions them in one of his texts. And you need them to get by the weird, puffer fish enemies.

If anyone is looking for a story/series recap of the first 4 entries, I just put a video detailing my feelings on them.

Started recording Prime last night too, excited to start part 2. God I love Metroid. I had started this well before Dread was announced but I'm so pumped for it's release. Managed to snag a Deluxe edition AND Amiibo set too.

Yeah so overall it was a good video as far as all the technicals are concerned. Very watchable with the pace and editing and shit. Downside is that there's nothing really new here but you know that depends on what you really want out of making videos. As a means to express yourself there wasn't anything wrong at all.

Actually for me I didn't know about the power bomb plus charged shot shenanigans so that's cool

Yep, you're right. For this first iteration I'm honestly not trying to do anything new and just provide something comfortable to watch and maybe get a laugh or two. I'm hoping if the whole "Play an entire series and break it down" style can turn into something if there's enough interest, and as I get more comfortable doing it I will most likely try to branch out and do some new stuff. But for now I just wanna find my voice and editing style.

I also wanted to remove all semblance of breaking down the games development history, discussions about it's era and release, and just take a look at the games purely as games and nothing else. The most I'll give a game a pass on is the system it released on. I find a ton of Youtubers like to dive into those details and I wanted to provide something that stays away from it.

Great vid and great timing with the Dread hype.

Love these types of series-retrospective videos, looking forward to the rest of the series.

I kind of think its having the opposite affect and its getting buried, since all the bigger Youtubers are piling on the Metroid stuff.

But my God that game is everything I wanted. I originally was gonna end the video saying what I'd love to see in a sequel and then Dread checked off all the boxes. 2D, HD, new area, new suits, new enemies, and continuing the actual story.

My plan was just to do things chronologically by release, so next would be Prime, ZM, Prime 2, and the two DS games. The final one being Prime 3, Other M, the two 3DS games and AM2R.

I had this in the works well before Dread dropped, and it was originally planned to be the whole series. But given the hype and the sheer amount of work this turned out to be, I decided to chop it into parts. Thankfully though the first 4 games are Metroid 1-4 story wise, so it kind of works as a refresher before Dread comes out.

Feedback would be LOVELY. Thanks y'all!

My soul left my body when this was announced.

a 2D console Metroid, with a new setting, new enemies, and a continuation of the timeline is everything I wanted.

A friend suggested that because of the ending of Fusion, that this is probably the Federation hunting Samus down since they mentioned the robots were Federation made. REALLY cool idea if so. I believe the suit is the aftermath of her Fusion suit with some robot based upgrades.
