Topic: Metroid: Samus Returns

Beat the original on NES back in the day.

Beat the sequel on Gameboy back in the day.

Beat Super Metroid on SNES back in the day.

Beat Meatroid Prime 3 on Wii.

Beat Fusion and Zero Mission with Backward compatibility on my DS lite.

Beat Other M on Wii.

Played Prime 1 but haven't beat it on Wii.

I am more of a 2D metroid guy having most recently having an epic time with Fusion and Zero Mission. I kind of felt like Prime 1 was a step back after Prime 3 even though the original gets the majority of love. Haven't started Prime 2 ever.

I have played all the 2D catslevanias as well, SOTN and the GBA and DS games were awesome.

Really looking forward to this new one.

2D Metroid > 3D Metroid

Fixed it for you! 😜 (but not by much)

fake replies!

Fixed yours as well. 😝

@DarthNocturnal Well I actually liked FF but gameplay (Other M) was as you said not great. I also 100% it but only because I felt I had to and not because I actually wanted to.

Sweet Super remixes!

Interesting how the percussion beat sounds almost identical to Magmoor Caverns from Prime.

Did they remix this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGgvHDnTg84

Meow!

Almost here!

Cranky Kong Adventures > Metroid

dont do that. Go to bed.

i wonder how bad the controls are. many reviewers say that the game makes their hands hurt. i don't understand how that could be though. you press a shoulder button to go into aiming then aim with the circle pad and press a face button to shoot. right?

Guess who managed to get their copy delivered surprisingly early!

Havent played much, but it distinctly feels like Metroid. It feels surreal playing an official new 2D Metroid again. Well, new for me at least.

Oh, and difficulty is definitely tougher than most modern games. I respect it more for it though. But then again, it could be super easy and I just suck. That's just as likely

OMG! No faaaaair! I'll sue!

So first Prime 3 has points knocked because it controls too well.

Now this has points knocked because my hands hurt and Metroid 2 was bad therefore this is bad.

Metroid: The review gem that never stops giving

lol wut?

@6ch6ris6 Gamespot knocked Prime 3 because it controlled too well.

And yes, the Wii controls are terrific and intuitive, so if you hoped that controlling bounty hunter Samus Aran would be a dream, that wish has been granted, too.

Then scroll to the bottom:

Some of the contextual actions don't control all that well

Streamlined controls make things a little too easy and a little less adventurous

Its too easy to control! What!?

Im glad its hard and makes peoples hands hurt. People are wimps nowadays.

i remember playing metroid prime on ds being really painful. no idea how people could play that for hours.

i will probably get samus returns in december so that i have something to play while i'm at my parents for the holidays

Controls are fine to me, but it does take some getting used to, remembering that free aiming and counters are there
