This one took a long time, and I was constantly changing my mind about colors, effects, and arrangement throughout the whole thing. I'm jealous of the artists that can execute an exact vision in their heads. Still, happy with how this turned out and it showed me I've learned a lot since I started with CSP.

This expression is just so hilarious from Ridley, especially when you read the context and he's like "WTF is this girl saying?"

What do yall think about my cardboard doll based on those Pinterest posts

something something seven rings in hand, my favorite part of Metroid ever was when Samus told Ravenbeak “first of all, your Jordans are completely fake!”

This shit is so cool man I had to share it

Just started playing Super Metroid on switch and hoping I can get some guidance on how to get through here. Probably overthinking it but I am having trouble rolling through from mid air (if that is the solution). Any help is appreciated!

Nintendog say you have you to pick one or the other:

Metroid 1 and 2 Game&Watch

Or

Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remaster

I see almost no Metroid Prime love from any other gyro enjoyers out there, so I took it upon myself to showcase how this game benefits from playing with fully implemented gyro controls on PC. (Sadly, the native gyro on console is barebones/lackluster in comparison).

Some may say "but these games are not traditional shooters dude..." and to that I say I dont care, Metroid Prime was already my favorite game of all time back in the GC/Wii version, but going full gyro and no lock-on just skyrocketed the fun factor, and I dare say it blows the Wii pointer controls out of the water. Of course I'm talking about proper and modern gyro remappers on PC.

Also Quality of Life changes like a Turbo mode and Dash button are things that greatly enhance the experience, especially a Dash button if you want to play without lock on. And speaking of, I am a firm believer that lock on is a mechanic this franchise needs to fully get rid of and doesn't belong in this modern age. I have always wanted for 3D metroid to match the speed, mobility and action of 2D metroid, and mouse controls or gyro can easily make this possible.

If you want to try this out yourself I added a very short tutorial at the end, but if you feel interested then I would recommend going in depth with Joyshock mapper and studying the documentation on github.

Here are the config files I used, donwload them and follow the video. Make sure to put the JSM text files inside the GyroConfigs folder inside JoyshockMapper: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1096fe_6QSYpKuoloJi5k3idg8Pm27aFj?usp=drive_link

Less factory-type mechanical environments that Dread has. I want more weird, creepy or beautiful alien biological environments. Dread, whilst a great game, felt a little sterile a lot of the time.

Really fun game, felt a lot similar to super in ways. Honestly my favorite part was the music, the way they were able to take the nes music and evolve it without changing the general vibe was perfect
Updated ranking:

1. Super
2. Dread
3. Prime
4. Zero Mission
5. Fusion
6. Prime 4
7. Hunters

Any suggestions on what to play next?

Does anyone know where I can find a high quality, transparent image of Samus in the Varia Suit she wears at the beginning of Dread?

I know redditors hate revealing their secrets and mistakes. They’re tired of this question being asked. I’m just here to have some laughs.

I’d like to comment two of my mistakes in this description:

I’m currently playing the Prime Trilogy right now. I’d like you guys to put spoiler tags for the Metroid games, as I want to enter Prime 2 and 3 basically blind.

In Prime 1:

I held the Wii remote wrong until I got to the plated beetle. I had the nunchuck in my right hand, and the Wii remote in the left hand. I was wondering why the controls felt so unnatural until I realized my error.

I managed to get myself stuck on the grapple beam spider ball puzzle in Magmoor Caverns yesterday (at the time of this post) for 40 minutes, despite making it there about twice. Those two times was when I fell off right at the bendezium door. I was questioning my skill at this game and my life choices leading up to that point.

I’m seeing quite a bit of comments pop up about how trekking the crashed frigate without gravity is a mistake. I’m one of them.

Edit: I’ve got some more mistakes

I forgot to save at the reactor core at the thermal visor segment, ended up having to start the segment over again. Added bonus: I had three e tanks, so I couldn’t make it out anyways. I ended up having to look up how to break the e tank out of the radion glass to save my sanity.

I was thinking that the project helix room was the omega pirate boss. I was shocked to find out another room after a notorious grapple puzzle was the omega pirate. Cue me blind raging at how unfair this guy is, and having to look up a guide to kill the omega pirate today.

I missed over half of the artifacts, including not scanning 4 artifacts at the impact crater. That cost some time.

I’ll add more mistakes later on.

Arrived today

I loved the eerie lonesome atmosphere and sense of exploration in super metroid. I loved the variety of environments and creatures you found. it really gave the sense of exploring an alien world and finding wild and unique creatures. I loved the secrets you can find. and the sense of progression and leveling.

what sort of modern metroid games capture that feeling that I can play on the switch 2? would you recommend a 2d game or 3d game? anything in particular?

I remade the entire animations of Fusion Samus in the SA-X style !
Feel free to use it (credit me as Ma-x if used please)

I just recently played Fusion and Dread for the very first time. I've never played any of the 4 Prime games. Before eventually going into Metroid Prime, I had a few curiosities.

How does Prime feel compared to the 2d titles? Is it the same formula but just in a 1st person 3D environment?

Is it still paced similarly to games like Fusion or Dread?

Is it just as vague in game design? (Not that its a bad thing)

Give me an honest spoiler free take on the Prime series. I'm interested in the game mechanics and overall level design but it's hard to get a feeling for it by watching gameplay alone.

I understand that this sort of thing is limited to TAS only type of runs, given the timing required for it, but I do wonder if you could hit Raven Beak with the same beam twice in his second phase, when he’s doing the slam attack to either side. Anyone have any say in whether or not this would be possible?
