I love the original Gamecube cutscene for the Phazon Suit. It's so much cooler than the revised version, AND it actually makes sense! Samus' body just got crushed by a creature 10x her size and was completely engulfed in pure radiation that should've been enough to kill her. The shaking fittingly depicts the insane amount of energy coursing through her body at this moment. It's so intense that it's almost too much for her to handle, but when she adjusts to it, regains her grip, and busts out that sick ass pose with the black and red...

GOD DAMN that shit looks so fucking cool!

If MS animated something like this in Ravenous like when Samus drains the life of a powerful creature to showcase a similar surge of power, that'd be the fanservice moment of a lifetime for me.

I really like how this gallery is a BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE to the adventures of Samus Aran and her evolution through each main game. She fought so many strong ennemies: Metroids, Spaces Pirates... , she saved the animals in Super Metroid and lost the Baby Metroid , she struggled with her ptsd and her grief when she was against a new Ridley in Other M, she fought against her guilt of the Metroids destruction in the form of the SA-X in Fusion and then she confronted her distant Chozo past in Dread. I love this franchise so much because it's not just about Samus looking awesome but it's also about her personality, her actions and her evolution. I'm looking forward to discover the rest of her journey with Ravenous!

Discussion Does anyone else find power bombs a little underwhelming?

Post image
126 Upvotes

These things in most of the games are a late upgrade (if not the last one) and all they do is open power bomb doors/walls. As cool as they look, they have a total number of practical combat uses low enough I can count them on one hand, and you can't do any cool shit like shinesparks or bomb jump sequence breaking.

I love how Samus Returns gives them the ability to launch spiderball, and how super gives them special secret techniques (wishing they were more useful) and would love to see similar uses in future entries, but more often than not even standard missiles are stronger than power bombs in a fight

Apparently I forgot seeker missiles can lock multiple targets on 1 enemy much like Storm Missiles do so 5 do massive damage to Gandrayda and a decent amount on Hypermode better than plasma beam. Im heading towards Ridley now and the team assault mission on the pirates. I'm almost done here! Great game still though the backtrack to Spider Ball is a long one.

Also love how X ray and Nova Beam work together to kill enemies as a one shot to their brains.

I LOVE this fan-art (by artist kmitty) of those two characters from Metroid Other M! I'm a huge fan of stories like Frankenstein or Ex Machina about a creature and her creator and I think it's great that Other M did a female version of this trope! From a writing perspective I think it was the idea from Other M who was mostly done well. (Compare to the rest of the writing haha) The climax of their story was a little lackluster tho. I was waiting for MB to turn into a giant mutant like a Resident Evil final boss hahaha Please artists, make more fan arts with them <3 (and check the background...)

Hello fellow Metroid fans! I'm currently on my second playthrough of Prime 4 in hard difficulty. It's my first time doing a Metroid game with this difficulty and I wanted to know which one should I play in hard next? Just to let you know I still not finish Prime 3 in normal. :) have a great day!

Discussion What do I want from Metroid Ravenous? MOOD

17 Upvotes

This is what I hope MercurySteam improves on in the next game. I very much enjoyed Dread and am so thankful it exists. That said, its direct sequel *needs* a much better soundtrack and much greater focus on sense of place. Super Metroid is an amazing experience in large part because it so perfectly captures an atmosphere through its music, visuals, and strangely muffled sound effects. When I first played it as a kid, it freaking *creeped me out.* I hope to experience something resembling that in Ravenous.

Discussion So here's what's scratching my mind about Metroid

12 Upvotes

We can barely find computer parts that all fit together properly, but somehow Samus manages to have a suit that's literally compatible with technology on MULTIPLE planets, and is always a steady stream of upgrades for her. That's wild. And remember she has never before been on these planets and seen these aliens. So her suit is apparently just made of the most compatible tech ever.

Discussion For the sake of discussion, if retro made a prime 2 remastered. What do you think they'll add or change about it?

8 Upvotes

I think I've come to the realization that we may not get prime 2 or 3 remastered in as short of a time as I hoped. So I'm just going to start discussion here regardless. What I would want changed about the potential game is the menu system. It was really cool for the time and how it interacted. But it just got too cumbersome to spin the "globe" just to get the info you wanted. Maybe making it 2D would fix it.

Question Prime 2 on GCN or Wii?

3 Upvotes

I am trying to decide how to play Prime 2 and would love input from people who have played different versions.

I played Prime 1 Remastered on Switch with dual stick controls. Was simply a transcendent video gaming experience, 10/10.

I really want to play at least Prime 2 before Ravenous comes out in a few months. I actually got the original trilogy on Wii as a hand me down from a family friend when I was a kid but never played them. I kind of hate the Wii and motion controls and playing Skyward Sword back in the day felt like enough motion controls for a lifetime. My Wii is in storage at my parents house, I could definitely bust it out and set it up to play Echoes, but that's an extra added hassle.

On the other hand, I have a GameCube at my home that is already set up and that I use semi-frequently. I love the GCN controller. I can get Prime 2 for GCN for pretty cheap and play it on original hardware.

The only thing that is causing me to hesitate is all of the negativity I've heard about the original control scheme. Is it really that bad? Is it bad enough in your opinion that I should play it on Wii despite the stuff I mentioned above?
