I played Super Metroid as an adult after playing Metroid Prime as a teenager. Aside from some control quirks (fire being X is unusual) I think Super Metroid is the better game out of two greats.

the glass tube was done fine, if you tried other weapons before you got the power bombs you failed and just tucked that into the back of your mind for later

first thing I tried after I got the power bombs was to shatter that glass and was rewarded, it was a very satisfying moment in the game

The GameCube was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached Metroid games. The Super Nintendo gives us Super Metroid - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The GameCube gives us Metroid Prime. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

super metroid is seriously so loving open that you can beat the bosses (not including mother brain) in the reverse of the intended order. that's loving crazy. another thing metroid games do extremely well that other metroidvanias tend to lack in is making each major area feel unique. maridia is way different from norfair, which is way different from brinstar, etc.

Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are both insanely good. i personally like Super Metroid more

as for rebooting Metroid, either do that or make a Metroid 5 where Samus is on the lam from the Galactic Federation. the well is pretty dry storyline-wise

I was going to make an impassioned argument for Metroid Prime, and then I remembered all the backtracking.

in metroid prime if you stand up close to a wall and fire a fully charged blast shot into it you get to see the reflection of Samus Aran's face in your visor. this makes it the better than super metroid h2h

like other m is a bad game that should be remembered so it never happens again, but no one can actually discuss it maturely in a way that is not talking about how it pooped on the franchise because it made gamers realize they have wanted to gently caress samus the whole time

I was really surprised that there was such a controversy over Other M because when I tried to play it I was bored out of my mind by the first save point and quit. I don't see how anyone could make it further than that, or why they would want to.

Metroid Prime was a remake of Super Metroid so all they have to do is remake Super Metroid again to save the series.

actually other m samus is probably the least fuckable samus because she'd just lie there and cry a lot

which isn't a bad thing really but its not what I want from samus
