its really too bad that the zero suit stuff happened and changed samus from a 6 foot 200 pound alien mutant in a power suit to, well, a pin up girl with rocket heels

And ported to consoles later maybe. Most of the more difficult games I've played lately have started on the PC. I haven't really come across anything good and difficult in the last year or so though. Mario and Donkey Kong having a couple of difficult bonus stages doesn't really count.

Yeah, there are good "alternative takes" Metroid could get, they just have yet to do any of them.

Other than maybe pinball, was that any good?

The pinball game was fun enough but they were charging full retail price for it at Gamestop even after a few years which was loving stupid since there's very little content in it.

I don't know why they would take "alternative takes" for Metroid. The setting for the series isn't really that good so it's not like "Mass Effect, but with Samus!!" or "Halo, but with Samus!!" actually brings anything new to the series. It would just be nice to see a classically-made Metroidvania with a budget larger than :20bux: but the genre is apparently exclusively the domain of indie games now so whatever.

There's something obscenely silly about the Smash iteration of ZSS, where she is completely useless outside of her rocket heels and her little stun gun that just sets people up so you can kick with her rocket heels.

I don't know how Zero Suit Samus ruined her since in every game you're rewarded by her stripping down, it wasn't until Other M when

There was the lovely ending part of Zero Mission.

Mighty Dicktron posted:

I don't think I have to explain the difference between "two seconds at the end of a game and changes every time" and "you play an entire forced stealth segment of Zero Mission".

Besides I'm not talking about how ~scandalously sexy~ ZSS is, but more that since now she has a codified design under the armor, it was inevitable that it was going to show up more often. Samus should basically just be the Power Suit to prevent that.

I thought for a while it was supposed to be canon that parts of her suit were fused to her. I thought I remembered something like that from Metroid Fusion, although I haven't actually played the game in over a decade.

Sadly, any Harvest Moon games from Natsume will not be actual Harvest Moon games. The real series is carrying on under the English name "Story of Seasons" but I don't know if that really matters anyway since there are more bad games in the Harvest Moon series than good ones.

I think she would be a lot better if she were an entirely different character as Samus. It's kinda hard to reconcile the white girl with the skintight suit, stun gun and 8-inch heels that blow people up with the mysterious woman that's 200 pounds of muscle and genocide who wears giant space armor and wages war against alien species by herself.

I felt like Retro did a good job of it (like the post credits sequence of Metroid Prime 3). But then Other M turned it into "she has feelings! Look at them ! LOOK AT THEM." so now I don't trust anyone.

The X parasite multiplied a lot in her suit and that's what was fusing her to it, so they injected her with Metroids. Now she's 50% space bird, 50% space monster, 50% hosed up space crystals, 100% woman.

It's really unfortunate that the teams seem to have no interest in dealing with her massive hybrid nature. I think Dread might have been planned to take place after Fusion? Doesn't matter as it is. Let's just hope Sakamoto isn't put in charge of the next Metroid game.

They should have a thing where she takes the zero suit off to reveal her whole body is just hosed up from all that poo poo. That or reveal the zero suit is her skin now.

I wouldn't mind seeing the developers of Velocity 2X create a Metroidvania game with the same main character. She's a cocky blonde space hunter with a gun arm/hand, and her outfit looks like a mix of the zero suit and Iron Man's armor. The game is also really fun which doesn't hurt.

According to Sakamoto: "When she absorbed the core of the SAX (the perfect condition of Samus), she basically reconstituted her genetic condition. She didn't recover the physical damage of her amputated suit, but she did recover her genetic condition."

Game Over
Return of Mido

Which is a really boring setup for any games post-Fusion because there's a bunch of interesting ways the story could go if she retained her Metroid DNA and immunity. Metroid-related powerups anyone? (Because you know the GF is still cloning them AGAIN somewhere) The other interesting place for the series to go would be dealing with the fallout of Samus basically disobeying Federation orders and blowing up an entire planet and one of their major research space stations. I doubt they would just hand-wave something like that, even with her reputation.

Then there's also the possibility of exploring whatever Retro was hinting at in the 100% ending of Prime 3. We still have no clue what that spaceship chasing after her in the end scene was. I guess we'll only know if Retro does another Metroid.

One way or another, I want another Metroid game. It's my favorite series and romhacks can only hold me so long (because I've played almost all of them. :( )

Light Gun Man posted:

This is fairly unrelated but I kind of want someone to make a multiplayer metroidvania style game. Something like a + shaped world map, 4 players, the center is the "base" or start point or whatever. Sometimes you need the other players to advance to a certain point and find an upgrade for you and bring it back, etc. It would probably be infuriating with bad players but if everyone was on a similar level it could own.

Try Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, maybe?

It looked pretty similar to Sylux's ship from Hunters, so it was probably him or some stealth Federation ship (since that's the type of ship Sylux stole).

I want a sequel where Samus has to team up with Space Pirates and she gets to work with Science Team against corrupt GF. That woudl be swell, I think.

Only if you make it like any of the Mario RPG/Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi games. With timed hits and goofy dialogue. Especially if you retain Samus as this utterly humorless badass while everyone else has this more lighthearted attitude toward life like those Mario games.
