i think we can agree that all music from all metroids owns

except other m which even managed to deliver subdued versions of great music

rented it, played it and quit by the first boss simply because the controls were so poo poo

Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are both great and anybody who doesn't think so can sit in the corner and think about all the mistakes they've made

Also I still have the Metroid Prime 3 preview channel on my Wii and I will never delete it even though it tells me to

god i remember that poo poo. i was so loving hyped.

brain talking to you all the time aside the game was incredible and is probably my favorite wii game. hyper mode actually being pretty loving hard was welcome since metroid games are usually terribly easy

you can make metroid games more challenging with sequence breaking

if you're looking for a challenge try doing a reverse boss order run of super metroid, which is insanely, insanely difficult

metroid is pretty loving awesome but the japanese gaming audience doesn't get it and never buys it so nintendo doesn't give a gently caress no matter how much people want it here

this of course is not nintendo's sin, it is just one more of japan's atrocities

All Nintendo Japan needs to do is release Japan-only versions of the Metroid games where Samus is a 14 year old girl with space bikini armour.

You'd probably get pedos anime nerds importing it too when they otherwise wouldn't touch the Metroid games

I replayed MP1 a bunch of times on Hard and tbh I think it just hurt the experience because it just makes every enemy an annoying damage sponge without really making it harder. It does make that first long stretch of Phazon Mines a pretty intense attrition war but the trade-off of making every single enemy take multiple charge shots to kill isn't worth it imo, especially if you're doing a 100% run and backtrack through rooms a million times.

yeah prime 1 was stupid because it just doubles the health every enemy has, changing nothing else.

in prime 3 some enemies get pretty tanky but you have hyper mode to deal with that, but everything hits you like a truck so you really need to watch yourself. certain attacks also one-hit-killed you if you were in hyper so it wasnt as easy as "just be in hyper mode all the time"

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
Super Metroid has almost no plot or lore which is cool to me. It doesn't feel like the context is missing or you are doing things arbitrarily like an 80s arcade game with no plot, it's just, the story is the experience of excavating this alien world. I like it
