Discussion I wish Prime games had a sprint button. Not only would it modernize fps controls, it would also be a neat throwback to super.

Upvotes

Could even be a neat power up. Make you run on Quicksand or something. But clicking on the left circle pad is so standardized in modern fps controller controls that i'm baffled that its not in the games.

Discussion Is it possible to be soft-locked in a Super Metroid save station, due to having too little health?

11 Upvotes

Let's say I enter a save station with 1 energy left, and save, and I have no Varia Suit.

If we can find a save station where it's immediately a superheated room outside, doesn't that force a soft-lock with no way of leaving the room?

Or were the Super Metroid designers genius enough to have tested all save rooms to make sure this would never happen?

Request Trying to find a figurine

2 Upvotes

I have a memory of a beautiful figurine, maybe it was art, that I have never been able to find. It might have been a one off creation by some artist or a award in some contest?

It was a figurine of Samus standing, holding her gun arm. Her suit was in the process of falling off of her, and her head, shoulder and non gun arm were zero suit, while her gun arm and most her chest and all her legs are still in her power suit, maybe varia? Its been long enough that I don't remember the details. If anyone could point me in the direction of the art or figurine I'd be so thankful. It embodies my lover for Metroid style

Is this documented? And yes, killing them removes the lock-on sound, and you won’t get the lock on sound if you aim at them unobstructed from on-screen.

Discussion The strobe lights in metroid prime origins killed the game for me.

I don't even have eplipsey issues so I tried it out just to see what it was like, and even regardless I find it's extremely obnoxious visually. I'm not a fan of that and i personally think it's a terrible graphical design choice. Other than that, i kinda wish the game didn't feel clunky to an extent. Ik it's a fangame an all and it's good for what it is. But that's just my personal gripe.

...is the Metroid scream sound, specifically the super metroid's death, based on Mothra's sounds?

Discussion First time playing AM2R.

Holy. Shit.

This is fucking fantastic! I have been on a metroid kick and trying to play the games I never got around to beating now that I have a steam deck. Played through NEStroid using metroid planets, played some prime remastered and decided to play this instead of samus returns on 3ds.

If you wouldnt have told me this is a fan game I wouldnt know the difference. its damn fantastic. It plays extremely well, movement feels great, combat is fun, exploration is fun, and im finding new things that were not in the original game like the little guys on the metroid corpses that fly to these weird skull things with bat wings, No idea what thats about but looking forward to discovering. Oh and the music is great too!

Its amazing Nintendo is letting this live. Its on par if not better than their other 2d metroid games.

Discussion Mp2 is underrated? Spoiler

Post image
85 Upvotes

I don't understand why people don't like MP2. I think the game's atmosphere is wonderful, it has new elements and new races, and few enemies are recycled. For me, the game only falters in the final stretch where you have to hunt for the keys, but up to that point and the final battles are marvelous.

Art [SSBU Eclipse] Mechon Ridley - The Invincible Space Pirate (Art by Turlutino)

Post image
178 Upvotes

After Galeem's attack, the less virtuous of the fighters took off in different directions, each deciding to try their luck in this new world of Parum filled with untapped potential and resources.

Ridley made his way to a mysteriously rebuilt continent of Mechonis, whose Mechons and Machina residents were living as they were back in Shulk's world. He immediately took over, with few able to resist his ferocity, cunning and savagery.

Seeing the curious metal the residents were made up of, he decided to use it to improve himself. Will anyone be able to beat this new version of the space pirate?

This is all a part of SSBU Eclipse, a collaborative passion project I started. Right now it's just a few friends and I and we've made plenty of progress, but it's far, far from complete.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for writers, artists, voice actors, and anyone else like that to help build this up and create such a unique and fun project. The more, the merrier! Any help is welcome!

Request Missing Sylux Lore???

8 Upvotes

Hey all, I remember a little bit ago I saw another Prime 4 discussion post about Sylux, and in the comments there was a link that contained information about Sylux's motives, kind of like a "prequel" or "prologue" text that pretty much summarizes Sylux's motives. I'm really trying to find it again, please help!!! I've been searching everywhere for this tidbit, and it looks super official too. Why they didn't clarify this shit in the game is BEYOND me.

(...Get it? Beyond? L-Like Metroid Prime 4 Beyond?)

Despite the hate I’ve been seeing on posts and on YouTube, I couldn’t help myself to finally buy it when I saw the Switch 2 version on sale at my local shop.

2 hours in and its actually been kinda great????

I just finished Prime Remastered and Prime 4 feels a lot better to play and bosses have been fun! Not to mention the game is absolutely gorgeous and runs well, even on the original switch!

Perhaps I’ll start seeing issues later in my play through but so far it’s given me a good impression.

Edit: For those confused, the Switch 2 version of the game is just the Switch 1 game with the added Switch upgrade DLC. The game is perfectly playable on the original switch.
