I'm playing Metroid: Zero Mission on my Wii U gamepad and it's pretty fun to play a GBA game at double size with no anti aliasing. :)

I wish they'd make another real Metroid game. 2D or Prime, I really don't care, just bring back real Metroid.

Also Lufia 1 is just completely terrible anyway so it's not worth playing for any reason.

I was late to this part of the convo but this is 100% unmitigated truth

I tried SO HARD to like that drat game, if only because Lufia 2 is easily a top 5 SNES RPG

Curious, what puts nuclear throne so high for you? I beat it once and it's a lot of fun but I wish it had some more variety since on a surface level pretty much every run is the same save for which mutations you pick (and there aren't even that many mutations)

i've been playing since well before it was possible to "beat" it, so to me it's always been about going as far as you can in loops. i really don't care about the weapon variety or mutations, and while it is nice to finally find a shovel or get trigger fingers, i would like a Pro Mode where you start in a loop with good weapons + the good mutations

nuclear throne is very hard, it's about quick risk assessment and control, good reactions, and death is usually because i messed up. i love it

e: oh also every design rules. the game is so stylish

Some people were mad that Fusion is more linear and tells you where to go instead of just turning you loose and relying on the environmental design to constrain you.

The funny thing is that this now makes it somewhat unique and interesting among all the other games, and that Other M has retroactively made it better because it's just trying the same thing except being worse about it in every conceivable way.

There's quite a few Virtual Console games I'd like, but again, it seems like it'd be better to hold out and buy them on the Switch, since everything would be portable.

Fusion is a fine game to play once every decade or so but it doesn't make me excited in the way that the series greats like ZM and SM do. Also dialogue is the last thing a Metroid game ever needs

You know I'm kind of with you. I've definitely replayed NES Metroid far more frequently than Zero Mission. NES Metroid's only real problem is that they really should restart you with full life/missiles when you die; it's a game that is monumentally easier if you just beat it in one sitting so you can avoid having to spend 30 minutes recharging after putting in your password.

Also it's an idea that's bigger than the tech really allows so it kinda isn't fun to play to me. Zero Mission though is an all time fave to me. I can beat it in like 45 minutes

Let me guess: it turns out that the collectathon 3D platformers we loved as kids aren't actually something we love as adults when they don't have nostalgia to bolster them.

Zero Mission just feels really good, and playing NES Metroid after it, Samus is just so sloooow and floooooaty.

Yeah the endless yapping and linearity of Fusion docks some points for me. It's still a really good game, but the story could've been told almost entirely through the opening cutscene and closing cutscenes, if you nixed the stupid computer buddy angle. It's still a really good game, but I often wish I wasn't such a dummy and could learn how to rom hack so I could make a version of fusion that doesn't have so much dialogue and doesn't randomly lock areas you cleared behind you.

From what I can tell, it's closer to Persona 4 in mood than Persona 3, so not particularly sad.

I mean if you got the bad ending in Persona 4 your young cousin dies and a serial killer gets away while a psychologically damaged innocent man is tortured and killed so maybe 5 has something similar and you can make it sad if you want?
