I beat Metroid 2 but only after many, many years of getting lost because there's a bullshit destructible block you need to find to advance forward and there's no real clues to find it. gently caress. That being said, it does a good job of being an actually creepy, lonely, and sometimes scary game on the GB. That's impressive.

I feel bad for those kids who got Metroid II as their single christmas videogame gift I had Metroid 2 and Kirby's Dream Land as my 2 main GB games forever and I don't think I ever got much further than getting the spider ball but I still really liked it because I was a kid. I don't think I ever beat King Dedede back then either.

Find where there's lava, explore the other route, once you kill the Metroids there's a rumble and now you go where the lava was.

Awesome! posted:huh? Well, for me, for the majority of the people it probably was/is amazing though. 90% of what I play are JRPGs so ps2 was golden: I can count 28 different JRPGs I played and liked, plus it had MGS2 and 3, Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4, DMC 1 and 3, RE4, Tekken 5, DBZ Budokai 3 and Onimusha 2, 3 and 4. Besides these, there was stuff I never played but people consider classic, like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. That's over 40 games, which is a poo poo ton of stuff. Ps3 was very meh for me. Loved Sleeping Dogs, MGR: Revengeance, The Last of Us and Deus Ex: HR. Played a bunch of other stuff like ME and the new Disgaea games and they were ok, but besides these? That's kinda it. Only 4 games I remember fondly for a generation is just very little. It of course is for my stupid tastes, so a lot of people can name dozens of ps3 games they adored. Just thinking that ps4 will be more or less the same deal for me.

Also as a fellow jrpg player PS3 was pretty good. You had Valkyria Chronicles, the Tales of games, the Atelier games, Nier, and some other stuff I'm forgetting

It's me I'm the kid who got Metroid 2 at Christmas (with Christmas money) because of the sweet robot on the cover. I also never finished it and was genuinely unsettled and scared every time a Metroid showed up. I'm considering getting it for my 3DS now and reliving the terrors of my youth. E: holy poo poo I pulled up the ost on my computer at work and this music is a blast from the past! Wildtortilla fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Nov 17, 2014 |

I've beaten and loved Metroid II before, but despite beating it the first time I've never been able to finish it on replays. I always get stuck about halfway through and can never find where to go next.

In fact, for an American console, the 360 had a bunch of exclusive JRPGs like Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Star Ocean 4, Eternal Sonata, and Tales of Vesperia. Yes, three of these ended up coming out later on the PS3, but for a while they were exclusive. Just saying the 360's JRPG library is pretty impressive all things considered.

I feel bad for those kids who got Metroid II as their single christmas videogame gift I got it as a kid, I loved the poo poo out of it, and I beat it without maps or a player's guide. I loved it and I found it to be a little unsettling. The music got weirder and more threatening as you got deeper, the Metroids got more numerous and you didn't know what form they'd take when you found them, and the designers liked to put shed stage I shells near the places the Metroids took up nest so you'd go in thinking "oh God I have to go in there after it?" I'm guessing it loses its edge when you're not 8 years old and when you're living in an era where the Game Boy is seen as a hilarious and ugly antique though. To me it's easily a close second to Super Metroid as the best game in the series. I have never beaten the original, though, and every time I try it doesn't take long for me to be pissed off by various things before I give up.

KingSlime posted:Yeah that doesn't look fun to navigate without a map at all.

Then again, I never really had a problem with Metroid 1 either, so I don't know what's up with you guys' hosed up retardo brains. Why is Metroid 2 is the only one that ever has the whole evolution thing, and it's totally forgotten about after that?

Fusion has a huge Omega Metroid at the end, but I imagine it's because by the end of Fusion there aren't any metroids left to even make it to that stage. During the Prime trilogy, the Pirates' experimentation on metroids probably prevented any natural life cycle from occurring.

The theory is that they can't naturally evolve outside of SR-388's environment. Thus why the Fusion station had a replica of it. The Prime variants are mostly phazon mutations.

Yeah, the experimentation thing is why I assume the babby metroid in Metroid 2 just becomes a really big regular metroid in Super Metroid, and it's been at least a decade since I played Fusion so I barely even remember anything about that game. Giant fuckoff alien beasts are far more imposing than little flying jellyfish brain suckers though, so you'd think they would try to work them in more often.

My brother got Metroid 2 for Christmas (I got Kid Icarus) but we were fine because we had a subscription to Nintendo Power and there was an issue with a complete map. Before the internet and Gamefaqs you really needed that NP sub if you were going to get serious about any Nintendo games.

And suddenly the game is selling out everywhere. If you manage to find a cheap copy, snatch it up post haste, cus they ain't gonna be around much longer. Guess now would be a good time to save up for the New 3DS and never update my current one ever again :/

I bought that game for $2.99 about a month ago. Looks like I'm good to go. EDIT: I have no problem sending this game off to someone else after I make use of it myself... just if you can't fine it easily enough. And you live in the US.
