It's hilarious how the news will point to Mortal Kombat or Doom as a video game that causes violence when they don't even bat an eye at any given multiplayer Mario game.

I have always admired that somehow, Wario Ware causes less strife amongst friends then Mario Parties.

Well, WarioWare is for the most part single-player. Only a couple of them have had notable multiplayer.

Zero Mission controls way, way better than Super Metroid does. It can be pretty frustrating to go from the GBA Metroids to Super where you need to tab twelve times to Power Bomb or press three buttons to aim diagonally in different directions.

Yeah, basically. Zero Mission is the most metroid game of them all, and everyone should play it.

Fusion was good but felt super restricting, like it was betraying its roots.

Honestly though all the Metroid's are pretty great outside of the 8-bit ones, which have aged kinda poorly and are more frustrating than fun nowadays.

Yes. Prime is so fuckin good.

There's a guy working on the Dolphin emulator for getting games to run on the Oculus Rift. It's lovely right now, but if it gets working well I'm going to die from cumming (this one is using a different program so you get the idea)

This is exactly the crux of why oddium is actually right. The switching weapons and aiming and everything in Super Metroid is really loving bad, Zero may lose some complexity but most of what it lost was chaff and it's a better game for it. Ideal dream 2d metroid would be somewhere in between with more or less Zero's controls but some more item variety

It is a bit, but it has maybe the best bosses in the series.(No, I don't mean the final one, I mean the spider and nightmare and B.O.X and Fusion's Ridley minus the loudness)

It's really good as long as you're playing with a group of people who are all trying to win the game and are aggressive out of the gate. It's dull as hell if everyone spends the first twenty eight of fifty turns or whatever passively slinking around the map trying to do as much as they can without stepping on somebody else's toes first.

Literally the only fault with Super Metroid is the item switching, though. And honestly, I've gotten used to it. I bet a Super Metroid 3DS remake would be great, they would just need to bind items to the D-Pad and add missiles to RB.

I dare you to say something else wrong with the game. You can't. It's Super "Goddamn" Metroid.

Now that Retro's done with Donkey Kong, maybe they'll finally make Metroid Prime 4: Dread.

But only after they rerelease Prime Trilogy HD, 1080p 60fps with updated textures, lighting and shadows, options for using Wiimotes or gamepad. :circlefap:

The physics are sluggish, space jumping is pretty broken, the beam sounds are kind of muffled, the regular beam looks pretty bad.

Super Metroid with controls as good as Zero Mission would be better than Zero Mission(not by a huge margin, but better), but, it doesn't have those. It has awkward as gently caress item switching, a run button which noone missed once it was gone, the most awkward walljumps in any metroid, and the diagonal aiming which is totally inferior to ZM's. Not really small flaws.

I never enjoyed the Spider boss in Fusion. It's still a great game, a few minor problems aside.

Also it's your problem if you don't enjoy shooting a lizard so many times he falls into lava and gets turned into a skeleton.
