Wtf, I thought Metroid was supposed to be the good guy!

Super Metroid, then you're basically set, can go to either Samus Returns or AM2R depending on your particular taste, or Prime maybe

Yes, play Super, the story does not matter at all.

Explain!
Super, and then AM2R. I STRONGLY recommend playing AM2R on hard mode when you get there. Probably the most challenging Metroid game.

crocomire should be in smash

Ok. I don't own niche obscure nintendo consoles.
I will stop at SNES, maybe if a 3DS emulator works on the PC and with the XBOX drivers for the DualSock 3 I use.

>AM2R is an action-adventure game developed by Argentinian programmer Milton Guasti and released in August 2016 for Windows. It is an unofficial remake of the 1991 Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus in the style of Metroid: Zero Mission.

WTF, how they allowed this? I never heard of it.

How did the space pirates commission a space ghost?

>WTF, how they allowed this? I never heard of it.
It was in development for a decade, and Nintendo only send a CnD when it was released. Thankfully, that was when it was too late and the game was already distributed.

>how they allowed this?
They didn't. It got cease and desisted.

FACT:
AM2R is the second greatest Metroid game

AM2R is a PC/Android fan game.

Samus Returns is 3DS, not exactly niche

Super Metroid was SNES, but is ported to the 3DS, Wii, Wii U, and Switch

Prime is on Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U

I mostly agree, but I have a real soft spot for Fusion.

Samus literally becomes the bad guy when she destroys a Federation research/containment station and goes on the lamb.

I remember they even got a patch out before Nintendo had the whole thing shut down.

Fighting the government for doing shady experiments doesn't make you a bad guy

why did you kill him?

It really does, though.

It's literally still being updated with additional content and bug fixes. It's on patch 1.4.3

even if you skip him he dies anyway with the whole fucking planet

I really hope Metroid 5 expands on the idea of Samus being hunted.

The mantle was taken up by a small ragtag team. They update it with regularity. They're on version 1.4.3, with .4 on the horizon.

Yeah, that's thankfully not going to be what Metroid 5 is about.

It's going to expand on the idea of Chozo face fucking the galaxy.

No. The last thing I want to see is another female character being given the usual bland movie action girl treatment.

the Federation is composed of a bunch of idiots.

*it spawns an endless war with Space Pirates, resulting in the creation of Metroid Prime and Dark Samus, which almost ended life in a galactic scale*
>"let's use the X-Parasites, what could go wrong!"

Oh that's awesome, I had no idea the game was being worked on under the table.

FACT: Prime 2 is the best Metroid, only nostalgia fags will disagree.

The others are still amazing though.

With money?

What have they added?

Not when Super and 2D, in general, exist.

Only if it's anime.

I really don't want Metriod to get the modern Hollywood treatment, Nindtendy's screwed over the series enough as is.

Only if it's anime, and even then very begrudgingly

Everytime I go try to get through prime 1 something gets in my way and I stop playing, then forget where i was so i can't really pick it back up

I bought it at gamecube launch when blockbuster fucked up and listed it for $7

I bought prime trilogy and thought the new controls were great

Now I feel like I may as well wait for the Switch versions

I will only accept it as an anime, either 2D or Gantz Zero 3D, if it can't be that, then I don't want a movie at all, I also say the same thing for Halo. Metroid and Halo just can't work as a live-action movie, it wouldn't do the series, universes, or Samus and Master Chief justice.

I felt like bog dark version was better than torvus light, the fucking shark things still give me nightmares

Dark Torvus is a neat looking area. I like its poison swamp atmosphere. Dark Aether added a nice spooky/survival horror theme to the worlds. I don't see why people hate it.

not if you save them idiot, and it's canon too because they appear again in fusion

What was the point of that anyway? You give them a hole to escape from but they're still stuck on the planet

Not if you donate enough

they canonically appear in Metroid Fusion, and Samus confirms they are the same who teached her the Walljump/Shinespark.

I've read it already. But thanks for posting it again, always fun to read this

It's literally cannon they survive. They save Samus in Fusion.

Mr. Metroid is the good guy.

>canonicity

Sorry but no.

I'm just in the first part after the elevator. I've just gotten the High Jump Boots and the spazer. Nothing else worth mentioning. I've explored every room, and it seems like I can't progress or backtrack.

that manga is canon tho.

Go to the elevator room in Brinstar and use the super missiles on the right wall.

>the place where Samus's story is told, down to even the whole "parent murdering" thing
>not canon

Is Samus a robot?

>The Metroid manga borrows many characters and plot elements from the Super Metroid comic and it is widely accepted as the canonical backstory for Metroid, as many panels from the manga are used in the endings of the Japanese version of Metroid Fusion, and certain parts of all editions of Metroid: Zero Mission.

No, the armor acts like a second skin or an exoskeleton, at least according to Prime. She wears the armor in the same sense as you wear your own skin.
>Samus's standard Power Suit was built specifically for her by the Chozo people. It is integrated with her body, acting as a sort of second skin--not only does it provide shielding in battle and augmented physical strength, but its life-support systems allow her to survive in water and even space without additional equipment.
>The Power Suit is an advanced Chozo exoskeleton modified for use by Samus Aran.

I've gone that route before, but I didn't see anything useful. I went into the room after, but couldn't find a way to progress.

Maybe parts of it but as a whole, no.

This, can't believe people still believe this shit is canon when the games both before and after it contradict it.

Apparently I hadn't shot the one breakable piece of floor, despite trying to bomb the whole thing.

Bomb the walls nigga. You sound like you'll really need the x-ray visor, since breakable walls seem to fuck you up so hard.

Not him but did Nintendo officially say this because game canon > hen some promotional Zero Mission book.

>what is secondary canon
It is the same shit with the DBS manga/anime.

I don't blame him, that part of the game is a little bit too cryptic.

I wonder how different the Fully Powered Suit will look in Metroid 5 since the Organic Layer looks different now?

I wouldn't say it's too cryptic, just that it's the point where the game really lets go of your hand and expects you to probe and explore everything to progress.
Up to Kraid the possible path (if you don't know how to bomb/walljump) is pretty much a straight line, but when he grabs the Varia Suit in a hot minute there'll be a ton of directions to go in.

True but the stuff that contradicts the games didn't happen.

>the stuff that contradicts the games
like?

*then

lol

Eh, everything in between Kraid and Phantoon has a shitton of signalling though. It's rare that the game just expects you to bomb shit randomly, it's usually pretty good at nudging you in the right direction.

It was just the one floor that missed. And I had already checked that floor for a breakable spot. Now it's back to getting assraped by Kraid, for me.

It's more that those animals are special and will most likely play a huge part in Metroid 5.

this. The entirety of the station in Fusion is just fucking dumb.

What is the lowest percent possible to clear Super Metroid and which items does it require?

14%, and there's some choices. Lower than 14% is not practical for humans but all of these options still require some awkward clipping in maridia so you might want to bump it up to 15% just in case.
wiki.supermetroid.run/14%

Super Metroid: 14%[1]Edit
The following items are required if the player wishes to stay in-bounds and avoid major glitches. If major glitches are allowed, the player can obtain an end counter of 0% (although items are picked up and then removed through manipulation with X-Ray Scope).

Morph Ball
Missiles or Super Missiles (4 total) (2/2 or 1/3)
Bombs
Power Bombs (1)
Varia Suit
Charge Beam
Energy Tanks or Reserve Tanks (3 total) (1/2 or 2/1 or 3/0)
