No need to

I just watched the SGDQ runs of Prime and Echoes and now I really want to replay the trilogy. I'd rather wait for the inevitable HD remaster on Switch, but goddamn it, it feels like it's never going to happen.
Dylan Mitchell
My turtleneck fat and my chain so thin and im sippin light beer and my crew right here
Blake Wood
Hmm, yeah I'm hoping for that too, Remaster, Remake, whatever, just some Metroid content on the switch besides the original nes game.

>mfw no morph ball or bomb placing sound in Super Metroid
I know it's sound design is great, but I liked the little toot whenever you placed bombs.
Carter Peterson
If Nintendo had a shred of sense, they're release a Metroid with randomisation settings, a procedural generated mode, and pvp race and speedrun online
If they had more than a shred of reason, they'd do this and not fuck up the core gameplay or setting and aesthetics
Angel Thomas
>randomization
Go fuck yourself, games that are "Endless" just rearrange the maps alot, they suck balls, better to have one well made game rather than a piece of shit randomized mess.
>generated mode
same shit, fuckface
>pvp race
?
>speedrun online
You mean leaderboards?
Samuel Sanchez
Don't get me started on sound effects.
>Super and Fusion had great sound effects for the Screw Attack and Speed Booster
>Zero Mission had a great Speed Booster, but the Screw Attack and beams were shit
>Other M was shit, generic movie sound effects for everything
>Samus Returns had the worst sound design I've ever heard in a Metroid game
Is it too much to ask for a Screw Attack that actually sounds dangerous?
Dylan Hernandez
Unsurprisingly, the sawnic poster has even less sense than Nintendo
Jonathan Ramirez
How is Samus Returns, I'm thinking of playing it and then get Fusion mode
Asher Campbell
Yes, that would require Nintendo to live in the real world
Owen Sanchez
Sucks, looks worse than a monochrome game due to the lighting being nonexistant.
Robert Rogers
Zero Mission is a 8.5/10 game when you ignore all map rooms and chozo waypoint statues.

Good game, shit Metroid game. Takes your hand and holds it in a deathgrip for the entire game, the devs put some completely ridiculous anti-sequence breaking measures in.
There's a part where you need the High Jump Boots to progress. A tall, single-block width shaft. You can't wall jump up there because it's too thin. There are anti-Spiderball surfaces. There's a fan that sucks up your bombs and prevents bomb jumping. That's the sort of game it is.
They learned NOTHING from Zero Mission. The game is absolutely terrified of letting the player roam free, and uses locks and hard obstacles to stop them. What was that old case study of Super Metroid that talks about soft and hard locks? How blocking progress with a long gap is more organic than a set of Screw Attack blocks?
Liam Thomas
Shit thing is those maps pop up on screen anyway, and I'm pretty sure you can't skip most of them. Really a fail state there in an otherwise topgrade metroid.
Dominic Fisher
If it wasn't for that bullshit I'd consider it an easy replacement of the original, but no, they just had to add that bullshit.
Also the new bosses are piss easy and sometimes just wastes of time.
Logan Bell
Are you a zoomer?
Brody Moore
The only mandatory one is the first one that leads to long shot, but otherwise you can skip all of them if you're good.
Andrew Green
>Tell myself I want to speed run Samus Returns
>get to Area 4
>lose all will to play
What the fuck is wrong with me? Wherever I force myself past that point I start having fun again. It's just that one area that feels like a drag
Charles Powell
Am I the only one who barely uses the map in Metroid games?
Noah Thompson
At this point I know the games so well I don't need to any more.
Daniel Hall
Heh
Really? Cool, I'll have to have a stab at that whenever I next playthrough
Zachary Bailey
Most of them are pretty easy to work around but there's one that requires a precise bomb jump/ball jump on the edge of the hand
Check out any ZM speedrun to see how to do it
Dylan Harris
I mean even on a first run it's just much more fun and convenient to play through them without using the map.
Kevin Brooks
FUUUCK I FUCKING SPENT MY FUCKING SUPER MISSILES BECAUSE I FORGOT TO PRESS Y FUIJVFRBIUEGRIEUBIUERGBUIERGUIBERG
Brody Anderson
this but with power bombs
Tyler Peterson
Neat, it'd be nice to try some of that stuff out for once
