it's finally here: the best 2D Metroid available on Wii u. it looks insanely good on gamepad...who else picked up this classic. I'm doing a No Long Beam playthrough atm. I think I'll do another run of no charge beam and the try to do speedruns. I've also never actually beaten hard 100%, I might try that too

Epic summer memories attached to this classic game

Super Metroid in the zero mission engine would be untouchable. It still feels good but the movement and specifically wall jumps in ZM feel just better enough that swapping between the two makes you notice the lack in SM.

M2 are the guys who do the 3D Classics series too, right? They're awesome.

mycophobia posted:I wish there was a way to instantly unlock hard mode. I don't think I've ever done a hard 100% run You can beat the game pretty quick on normal, so it's not a big deal. It's also a good warmup to remember where everything is

I have reached Chozodia in ~90 minutes. Wasn't attempting to complete this quickly but I think I have enough time to beat it in under 2hours for the speedrun ending...wish me luck.

Now for 100% hard, which will probably take a while longer. I've never done it, and it sounds tough.

I'm going crazy though because I can't for the life of me remember how you're supposed to actually get super missiles because I've only done it once, and now I can't get that last suoer missile upgrade on the Ridley map

I meant the first one you're supposed to get guarded by the boss. I almost always skip it because there's lots of faster super missiles. But I found it, forgot you had to pop into the previous boss room and drop down through the hole in its corpse. On Chozodia and then the final sweep before tackling 100% Meta Ridley...could be a tough afternoon ahead of me

The tourian section is like half the run and kind of tedious but it's amazing that he makes it through the whole thing with only 4 missiles and no health tanks.

Wormskull posted:That guy is my homey with the extremely white hands and IIRC during that run someone says in a donation comment, Hello Dragon Darch. This is Dragon Claws. which was some win. Yeah, he says "Glad to see all my training paid off" or something and then put 1,000 dollars on the table and said I'm taking 50 off for every death. No pressure.

 Kinda bummed there's no different photo for Hard Mode but meh. The 100% final boss on Hard is loving awesome and this was kind of a gaming white whale for me. The first time I beat the boss I finished the escape with one hit left and I was freaking out because of how close it was and then that loving pirate who's hiding in your ship killed me. I had to laugh at how much of a dispshit I felt like.

Zero Mission is cool too because all the way to the end of the game the developers accounted for you having nothing but one missile upgrade and morph ball bombs and put in alternate paths to bypass everything

Ralp posted:the right side of Norfair has an enormous vertical shaft that is hidden better than almost anything in the game. It is completely empty and mysterious and for years I never understood why it was even there. when I first watched a speedrun and realized what you just posted, it blew my loving mind I didn't know there were similarly hidden shafts in Chozodia as well until I just watched this low% run.

Id rather something all new tbh. Super is still extremely playable and looks great, it just has slightly different physics than ZM/Fusion. Doesn't really need a remake

Metroid 2 is kinda fun from what I recall. I beat it once forever ago and never returned, it's the Metroid I'm least familiar with. Eradicating all the Metroids as the overarching game mechanic is a neat idea

Ok so if I'm planning a low %, how many pickups are there total in ZM. Surprisingly trick to find a guide or something, only videos of 9%/10% runs and I know I can go to 15% so I wanna see what my options are like

Looks like it's 1% per pickup and the bare minimum is 9%, so that's 6 safety pickups. I think I could manage a normal 15% run.
