this would be cool if it has shoulder buttons. alas it does not


that looks like a pile of crap imo. the number 1 super metroid controller is the SNES controller of course, but the wii u pro is good too.

the analog stick and dpad are in the wrong places im sure youve seen the extremely gay pictures of the hands holding a ds3 controller and a 360 controller showing how the thumb goes to the analog stick way better on the 360 than it does the ds3
well the opposite is true for the dpad which is more precise for 2d games

Yeah that makes sense, I got a 360 PC controller recently and really like it but the d-pad is insanely poo poo. I still have my DS3 thankfully

The xbone controller is high tier. The vita is surprisingly good at walljumping, but my favorite controller is still this piece of poo poo $20 PowerA controller I got from Walmart years and years ago that doesnt even work anymore.

actual content: http://www.begrimed.com/pb.php try this, friends. it is good. get the original palette one. that didnt' exist last time i played, whoa

That was Phantoon, who has the hilarious capability of disregarding invulnerability frames and owning speedrunners who have hundreds of hours in the game.

If you get the last beam and hit Crocomire in the mouth with it, he goes apeshit and slams you into the spike wall and never stops.

I ran out of missiles and used a power bomb and this happened, pretty brutal

Did metroid come before Castlevania? I know games were pretty limited in what they could do back then so it's not surprising to have so many side scrollers with a similar feel but those two games definitely share a lot of mechanics & even abilities. The first time I power jumped I thought of alucard in symphony of the night

Metroid came out about a month earlier, but there's a reason they call it the Metroidvania genre.

the keyboard is probably more precise when you get used to it but it's just so much better to play on a good controller
