yeah i know there was one point in fusion where i had to look up how to proceed, since it required just bombing a random square and up to that point theres no reason to even try anything they dont make 100% obvious

The beam glitches in SM are hosed up. I've always wondered why they act the way they do

I like games that are the good kind of glitchy, as opposed to open world games that lock you out of quests or make you go back and repeat hours of gameplay because it locked up

Ralp posted:they deliberately removed it, as well as wall-jumping up a single wall. They apparently realized afterwards how stupid that was since they put them both back into ZM and made them even easier than SM. I sort of understand what someone said a while back about two separate timelines(??) splitting off after Fusion, one where they fix seriously every single Fusion flaw and make Zero Mission, and one where instead they double down on all the Fusion horseshit and make Other M. too bad thatll never happen!!!

I just started Zero Mission, I've had the cart for a long time but never played it til today. Fusion was my first ever Metroid game but I've beaten the NES one and Super metroid now too. If I had played the NES one first I maybe wouldn't have tried any others

I tried to play super metroid on a SNES emulator on my laptop and I went through a door into a room with a laser field on the ground but none of my buttons did anything, nor did shooting it. Anyway then I went back and the door I came through was locked. I am the worst gamer alive and have 0:02 of saved play time on my save file.

I have metroid prime series up next and already have the first one for gamecube. But ill be playing it on wii. they made wii versions of these too right? Whats the difference and whats th best version to play?

The Wii versions came as a three-pack of all the prime games and can be a little hard to find for reasonable prices these days. They're downloadable on WiiU for $20. They all have motion controls on the Wii using the remote as a pointer to aim and shoot. It works really well but I know some people prefer the controller on the Gamecube better.

The wii versions are better as long as soon as you get used to the controls.

shadow complex came out when there were like no metroid-like games happening. at least not like now. i loved it when i played it at release but i tried it again a couple years later and was rly bored. the beginning may just be too slow for me though especially when youre used to being endgame god.
