I liked Metroid II. I like all of them, besides Hunters and Other M.

For a black and white GB game Return of Samus was really good.

Samus' sprite is too big for the tiny screen and I remember getting lost/trapped a lot where I couldn't find the one metroid to unlock the next area, but it still introduced a lot of cool power-ups and has an even better feeling of isolation/exploration IMO than the original.

NANI?

The first two Metroid games just needed a map really.

Hunters was pretty fun to play with other kids on the bus to school, but the singleplayer was pretty rear end.

I'm pretty sure I used a Nintendo Power volume to find my way around MII at least :shobon:

E: Guess that would be of no help to a poor Brit like Sakurazuka though. I can't recall if they had a NP equivalent.

Would be kind of curious if they make a Metroid post-fusion though just to see what they would come up with, since that set-up doesn't leave much room for another isolated station/planet. Course Adam would still be around and that will still upset people, but I don't mind him as an AI.

If they make another 2D Metroid game it needs to have one cutscene in the beginning and one at the end and that's it.

I barely remember how the game looked. I just know I only wanted to play it on my Super Game Boy.

WWE Superstar Kane posted:

I posted in Windows 98's old thread, but it closed before I could prove my identity.

I am Glenn Jacobs, aka WWE's Kane.

I post on SA in the Book Barn, the wrestling forum (which has a hilarious new name), and a few other sub forums. I believe I am the only goon in the WWE, although many of my co-workers would fit in really well. John Cena has a deep-seated love of anime, and keeps trying to get me to watch fist of the north star with him. Big E is obsessed with internet memes. Randy Orton hates women - but he's a handsome, fit guy so he's been married twice (to women that have deep seated mental issues, though, which is why it doesn't last).

If this gets posted I will prove I am really Kane (and by extension, an SA Goon) on WWE Raw next week (the 6/22/15 episode)

The Super Game Boy was so cool, I'm pretty sure I wound up playing most of my GB games on that instead of the brick or pocket ones.

That would be cool and I'm okay with the fusion suit as long as they don't reuse the horrendous varia and gravity colors for it.

Yeah. I'm going to commit the biggest sin during a steam sale by buying Xenoverse without waiting for it to be a daily deal.

And complain about it afterwards when it does go on sale.
