Though I remember reading about the final area of Prime 3 and freaking out harder than the final DS fight

The final ds fight in prime 2 actually kicks major rear end and has awesome music.

I've never done the screw attack thing because it's hard to score an accurate hit with it in the primes. Was it even in 3 I don't remember? But yeah the annihilator beam ruins him. Dark Samus is the epitome of final metroid bosses though

the screw attack was in 3, but it was an early mid-game upgrade and it got a pretty severe nerf. one of my main complaints about the game tbh lol the screw attack is like samus' ultimate upgrade, i mean it's cool the game had a true plasma beam that wrecked poo poo near the end but :(

I said it earlier but the part at 40 seconds in this video is on of the coolest scenes in gaming.

It was probably hard to get a perfect screw attack in the 3D games. It seemed like it was more intended for wall jumping than standard damage

The worst thing about the Prime Trilogy disc is the removal of Metroid Prime 1 and 2's title screen and title screen music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PE27tYaSco love this song

this one too, from prime 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b71Dddf-VhM

At least they're still the credits themes.

Screw attack in Prime 2 was great for killing metroids, but I think the metroids were weird in Prime 3.

i hate that dark samus fight. wait until dark samus stops being a little bitch and finally uses the attack that lets you hurt it, otherwise it shoots lame missiles at you. speedrunners hate it because its totally RNG and you can get stuck there for a while

screw attack in prime 2 was the best. huge mobility upgrade, one-shot everything. god those spiky ball virus enemies that would summon the annoying blue shield? if you screw attacked that shield it would trigger a unique shield shattering animation and loving destroy it lol

I have a wii with super metroid VC somewhere, can I play it using a gamecube controller? Cause otherwise I only have a wiimote.

I've beaten the Metroid 1, 2, and Fusion. Fusion was an awesome game.

Dark Samus is such a good villain with such terrible boss fights. The, uh, second one in Prime 2 I think is really fun, that's it.

I don't even remember fighting her in 3, just that the final boss was a stupid tentacle or something.

You can use the Gamecube controller to play Super Metroid on the Wii. The stick's kind of weird for it though and the dpad is tiny.

They're all awesome fights imo. Dark Samus is my favorite metroid enemy for sure.

Okay, I'll break it down for you, 6 year old retard child. Fusion as good movement, it feels good to run and jump and roll around as a ball, traversing the worlds in the game is satisfying. It's not as fun listening to the computer talk to you for 15 minutes before your allowed to go to the next part of the game. I think thats what In Training meant. Class dismissed.

It's way more satisfying to gain access to new game areas because you can finally jump high enough or fit through the crack, rather than the game just saying "Samus, I now give you permission." It's the defining satisfaction of Metroid games. Stop trolling me!!!

you had to find secret channels to go between the zones without hitting any info rooms or else you'd be locked into fighting the final boss. it was the dumbest poo poo in the world and you had no way of knowing this

Yeah, Fusion and other M need a miyamotoing pretty hard. Except without all the bright colors, cheer, and repeated variations on boss fights that are also his signature.

What's mindblowing is that the director for Other M worked on Metroid, Super, and Fusion. Though there are a lot of similarities between Fusion and Other M in world design I just cannot believe he signed off on the story and Samus's character in Other M.
