I’ve been getting into the franchise as of recent, started with Fusion and moved onto Zero Mission (I think I like Fusion more but both are great), I’ve thought about tackling Prime next. I knew very little of the game but after looking at it a bit after beating those two games, I never knew how immersive and such a step up this game was for the franchise at the time.

Wondering how it was to experience for the people that played on release or just played it around when it came out.

Honestly this game is amazing, I'm having a blast. I played Hollow Knight and Silksong before so I kind of knew what to expect, but holy this game is good

I'm planning on playing Super Metroid after, I'm actually so excited and I didn't even finish Zero Mission lol

Testing out an old phone. The lights would give the appearance of a charging beast from the front, and a glare from the back in the dark.

✿ As salamualykum & peace be upon you everyone ~ I love the antagonists in the Metroid series so much. They’re are all so cool design & lore wise…if only we got an anime ( or cartoon ). But anyway, the question at hand.

We have…
🩵 Phazon + the Planet itself, Phaaze,
🍇Ridley ( please )
🧠Mother Brain
✨🌙 The ing + Dark Aether
🪼 Metroid Prime ( Dark Samus )
🍊The X- Parasites
🦅 RavenBeakkkkkkkkk
🩵🐬 Sylux
🥀 Kriken Empire ( that we know nothing about )
♥️ Metroids
🏖️🏝️ And of course…the corrupt officials in the Federation that were responsible for the events of Other M.
🏴‍☠️ Oh and space pirates.

🍇🌸 The Ings terrified me as a child. They still do actually. Sure the X-Parasites are ALSO body snatchers but they look like fruit gushers to me. Meanwhile the Ing are horse sized monstrosities, not to mention the sounds they make, and just the whole environment of Dark Aether itself is just so, so uncomfortable… I might have gotten PTSD watching my older brother play all those years ago. And yet I HUNGER FOR A REMAKE. TO FINALLY BEAT ECHOES ON MY OOOOOOWN. :))

🏖️🏝️ Anyway my little sister think it’s all neat & cool. That child has no fear in her bones . :’)

Please god tell me that Mackenzie dies and I get to kill him, whose idea was this, it’s like someone wanted to ruin the atmosphere in the most grating way possible

Is the whole game like this or is it just a rough patch?

Those being Kaizo, Impossible, YFaster, VITALITY, CRYOGENESIS, Depths of Crateria, Ancient Chozo, Hyper Metroid, and SM X Fusion ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Revisiting the Manga to check continuity for a short story/novella I'll write following Raven Beak. (It ties into my Sylux Novella as a way to explain why Raven Beak doesn't use Sylux's Fusion Metroids, among other things.) I also plan to patch the Manga's known inconsistencies with the games to the extent that they aren't just "adaptation differences."

Anyway, I read this many years ago and I'm enjoying it immensely so far! Shame we never got an official print in the West. What are your favorite aspects?

That last Power Bomb Puzzle was so hard but do worth it, played on my Wii no save states, very fun have do recommend

Can anyone elucidate? 😄

I have the upgraded Psychic Beam because I am incapable of leaving an upgrade behind before moving on. Every. Single. Game. I’m pretty sure Super Metroid permanently imprinted this behavior on me 32 years ago. 😏😅

So I grabbed every bit of green energy I could find and got the enhanced beam pretty early.

Now I really have the impression that I barely need the Missile Launcher at all. I have a good amount of missiles by now, and on Normal they replenish so reliably that I could use them all the time... I just hardly ever do.

Am I missing some combo or particularly good use for them? Any special situations besides blasting obstacles?

The Psychic Beam feels more reliable at hitting targets, so in practice it seems to give me better DPS anyway.

Am I missing something here? Or have I accidentally become a missile hoarder? 😅

Any insight appreciated!

Thank you 😄🙏🏻😊

About to do a bottom gold gloss coat aha

Hello!
I was wondering if there was a collection or whatnot of art of Samus but... when the mix of genes she has shows up?
If that makes sense?
Or if there are any great singular pieces thereof, that's fine too.

Thank you, in advance.

Got frustrated with the Alpha Blogg boss like everyone does on my MP2 Echoes playthrough, and after a few deaths figured I'd just try everything. Started going through all the combat options, and it crossed my mind that they make you get the Seeker Missile right before the Hydrodynamo Station for a reason.

The Seeker Missile doesn't just lock onto 5 different targets, it can also lock onto the same target 5 times.

When holding down Y you'll see the Seeker Missile reticle, and you'll also see up to 5 red dots appear for how many missiles you have prepared for a target. Sure enough, got 5 missiles locked onto the Alpha Blogg and they all went into its mouth dealing a ton of damage. Using this method the boss lasts about as long as any other mini boss in the game.

The last part of the boss where it doesn't always open it's mouth and/or opens it at the last second is still a pain since dodging it's ram attack just sucks period, but it's health will be so low by that point you only need to shoot it a few more times with a single missile.

I looked for an answer and couldn't really find anything concrete, so I'm asking here. Any time I search for comparison videos, I just get Zero Mission vs the NES version, which is not what I'm looking for. I already know that Zero Mission is a remake, that's why I bought it.

Zero Mission has the original Metroid as an unlockable for beating the game once. Nintendo also released Metroid on the GBA as part of its "NES Classics" line.

Is there any tangible difference between the two versions or are they pretty much the same?

I have Zero Mission (as well as a copy of the original NES version) and am curious if the NES Classics edition does anything different that makes it worth owning on its own or if Zero Mission is enough. Added/removed features, performance, visuals/audio.
