This game was perfect I love the environment and game play. Just wish it was longer so you can max out all of your weapons and go on a killing spree.

Answer: NO

was i the only one who didnt know about the charge attack in 10:24 ?

Wait, I have that book! It's $100?!

3:19 This comment is about a year later, however, there are many, like a statistically significantly larger than the national average number of furries in the IT industry. You are likely going to get very good IT advice from a furry.

I love how you siad "thanks to the soundtrack and graphics" when you wer in the room where the song just beeps.

I would personally put basketball at #1 probably just because it’s the only one I’m good at😂

4:34 was all I could think when playing this game as well

Glad to see you got out of the well From last vid, Luker!

Bro, Luker, you didn’t have to do Birmingham dirty like that 😂

No way, Battle Quest is top tier

I like the part where after he rewrites the section for Kraid he wins the fight

I think the one on the right is the remake 😃👍

Underrated game that did some pretty interesting stuff

0:38 I got caught off guard by the Minecraft hurt sound.

No, but it is a great game

Metroid Fusion has always been my favorite game in the series despite how railroaded the "exploration" is, and that is mainly because the atmosphere is just so... damn... good. You feel uncomfortable and unsafe constantly in this game and every aspect of the atmosphere feeds into this. My favorite example has to be the introduction of the Nightmare and how that wonderful abomination is handled. The fight itself is a little clunky and pretty difficult, but the buildup to that thing is amazing. The SA-X is great too and eventually being able to actually fight it is a phenomenal feeling, not to mention how it saves you afterwards and you're left to wonder if it was just tunnel visioned on killing the Metroid, if it maybe thought it could kill both of you, or if it decided "the enemy of my enemy..." and intentionally protected Samus to ensure SHE could beat the metroid. Still though, there's something special to me about how Nightmare is built up as a complete mystery you know very little about until minutes before you fight it, and even that really doesn't prepare you for the uniquely surprising and uncomfortable experience you're gonna have with that thing.

My only big criticism with this remake, oddly enough, is a point of praise for you. I agree Zero Mission is pretty short, but this game in comparison felt a bit too damn LONG. And I don't mean that as in "11 hours is too long for a game," I mean "11 hours is too long for THIS game." While the game's length is considerably longer than most 2d Metroid games, I found myself from about a third of the way through the game onward thinking "GOD NOT ANOTHER BASIC METROID BATTLE, PLEASE GIVE ME A REAL BOSS FIGHT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD, JUST LET ME HAVE SOME KIND OF MEANINGFUL PROGRESSION OR DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE." And it did eventually give me what I wanted in the form of the digger robot, the Zeta/Omega/Queen metroids, and the surprise Ridley fight which while not very difficult was pretty exciting... but man the middle of the game was a bit of a slog. Traveling and exploring turned out to be more of a highlight than looking forward to exciting boss fights, and personally, the exciting boss fights are a lot of what makes me love Metroid games so much. While the idea of tracking and exterminating the Metroid threat felt cool and all, I really felt like after a while the more basic Metroid forms really should have just been relegated to being treated more like normal enemies rather than having to do this grandiose easter egg hunt for every single one. Eventually that became a tiresome chore and not something I was looking forward to having to do over and over again in every new area. I only started looking forward to it again toward the end when I started getting more varied and actually challenging boss fights. But like I said, that's my only real criticism, and as you mentioned, it's greatly made up for by the comparatively rich combat system with parry/counter mechanics, quick swapping between versatile beam modes, and basic enemies just generally having more dynamic combat patterns than in other 2d Metroid games. This game is an amazing Metroid title on its own and a phenomenal remake. If I had to choose just one more thing to complain about, it would be that the Ridley boss fight, while incredibly fun and a welcome surprise... was really short and pretty easy compared to the Queen Metroid and Diggernaut. Maybe this is really just a point of praise in the end, but I was having so much fun with that fight and its incredibly satisfying cutscenes that I really wanted it to last longer. As a side note, Fusion is my personal favorite Metroid game in the series and I can't wait to see what this company does with that one, since they seemed interested in it based on teasers at the end of this game and the heavy influence of the X in Dread.

I love how you always find the dumbest comments and pin them for everyone else to laugh at

The reason everyone memes on Kraid and hypes up Ridley is mainly because this dynamic is reversed in all future games. Kraid is laughably easy and not even a very entertaining or interactive boss fight in most games, being turned into a large stationary target who mostly chucks easily avoidable projectiles at you. Ridley, meanwhile, was turned into a real boss fight and was made the more difficult of the two, not only being given free movement but also usually free flight. In other words, for all future games in the series where they appear, Kraid is the boss who is mostly stationary with predictable and avoidable attacks, and Ridley is not only the more mobile and dangerous one but also can actually fly like his wings would suggest. Aside from that, I agree with your sentiment. This game is hard as a bitch and not in a fun way. A lot of its "difficulty" really just comes from the sheer clunkiness of being an NES game, but there are times where this game is just straight-up designed to be an ass to you and not in a fun way. It's also genuinely difficult, but not all of its difficulty is "genuine." Some of it is just bs. Playing this game with no guide, no map, no help whatsoever is asinine and anyone who says otherwise is just lying to get a rise out of you. It's not unbeatable by any means in its natural state but it's not remotely worth the effort. Admittedly though, it gets a LOT easier as you learn the locations of the important powerups and good orders to get them in.

I don’t think it’s horror lol it’s suspense at most I never played and felt I don’t want to play this lol

been playing metroid since the first one, don't have a switch, haven't played dread, but, just wanted to say fusion was my favorite, i loved every interaction with SA-X.

Thank you for no introduction talking

You are dumb.

I wish we’d get a multi-platform sequel funded better because I love this game. I think the biggest con for me is that I can’t get rid of the cricket bat and starter pistol.

i had over 200 missiles. I gave little thought into where they would go.

Short Answer: No

zelda was the best

Funny enough, some players have described the final fight with SA-X to be a bit of a letdown compared to previous encounters, generally due to skill ceiling. Your first run through the final showdown is every bit as tense as evading SA-X has been all this time, but if one plays through multiple times you start to notice how much more margin for error you have in a big arena compared to being hounded down narrow corridors. With the earlier SA-X chases, while there are certainly many videos showing how skilled players can break SA-X's AI in half, for most players the challenge of surviving the scripted SA-X chases levels off more gradually across repeat playthroughs compared to the final fight. Some could also note how the second phase becoming vastly more predictable and less threatening. As with the final fight with the omega metroid, this makes sense as a final catharsis as the fight turns in Samus' favor, plus thematically it's an excellent callback to the X parasite that started this entire mess (look at its appearance and attack pattern, and you'll realize it's a monstrous chimera of Samus' armor with the hornoad mimic that infected Samus in the intro). But I can see some players being disappointed in how it doesn't actually blend any of the previous attacks that made SA-X so deadly with its new form. Plus some would probably also argue that the final phase of the game would've been better if you had only a final cathartic stomp of SA-X OR a final cathartic stomp of an omega metroid, not both in quick succession. Interesting overview of the game, in any case!

Best advice I got was to beat Ridley first. That makes the game much easier.

i had ZombiU as a kid, it was great! but i was SO bad at it lol

13:06 I agree this part is absolute bullsh*t.

3:01 the one on the right is obviously the remake, it looks so much more modern

Zero mission

Zero Mission is my favorite Metroid game ever (and I'm playing the whole series in chronological order as of now, currently in Prime 2). It's meant to be replayed, there's so many items you can genuinely skip, toutes and secrets to use. When I replayed it for the series (outside of randomizers), it only took me 1h08 with over 50% of the items collected. The stealth section is a treat with its own secret paths to use and imo the saves are just here to take a breather and replenish health if you got hit too much, I barely use any. Overall great video and presentation, 4.5/5

The crazy thing I love about Super Metroid is that both it’s JP release and my literal birth were on the same day in 1994. Because of that, Super is one of the games I’m fascinated to watch gameplay of, yet I am intimidated heavily by it while playing.

My second video, and that's much better audio. Congrats

Please, don't take this bad... This is the very first video I'm watching of yours... Almost perfect, just need to work the audio levels a bit more, sometimes the effects are a liitle too loud and make your voice difficult to understand,,, But, you got my subscribe with the first video, that's impressive

You're the only other one who I think would rate Fusion that high. What I loved most about Dread was the fluidity with which Samus moves. Almost adds a free running element to the game so you don't have to stop and morphball through. Especially when you know how to use the shinespark properly. I expect this fluidity in future 2.5-D games.

Seeing the SA-X for the first time when this game first came out scared the shit out of me.

I Disagree

i think you lost the plot of your video, or atleast a title swap is in order. not much of an analysis on what makes the enemies scary, more of an observation on HOW the enemies are scary great video quality regardless, looking forward to more

Somus

Cool channel, bad takes 😂

U didn‘t get why there was no enemy in the last sections of the game, it‘s bc the metroids are so dangerous that they killed em all Honestly u feel like a more extreme Josh Wallen
