OH MY GOD I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT, I got that fixed immediately, thanks! And the song in the intro is the Mega Man 2 Medley from Smash Ultimate, got a link for ya here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3mUXneejbOLeas

Thanks for stopping by! I'm looking forward to continuing the Mega Man Series after I get my next project done, Mega Man Classic was a huge part of my childhood and I wanted to go through it thoroughly, entry by entry, 6 I'm especially excited to talk about since I feel like it's a bit overlooked.

Thanks man! Mega Man always has the Mega Jams!

NO, NO FNAF SHALL BE BROUGHT INTI MY MEGA MAN GAME! (Thanks man, glad to have you on board!)

That's actually a fun video idea, maybe I'll try to tackle that sometime in the future! For now I'm just focusing on game series that I love with some indie games here and there while I try to get better at this style of video(tho I have yet to make a video on an indie game, I did start getting footage for one)

The games are hard but mostly fair, I had one friend growing up who also played Mega Man and we would give each other tips for different stages and bosses, good times. And the soundtracks will always be classics!

LMAO DAMN

:)

Thanks for dropping by!

The remakes are definitely the best option IMO, AM2R is free and you can find a download pretty easily, Samus Returns on 3DS you'd have to track a copy down(Or use Citra lol), both are good for different reasons, take your pick!

Thanks man, means a lot you stopped by to watch, hopefully you'll like the next one as much as this!

It may be awhile, but I'll get there eventually!

Despite green being my favorite color, I don't wanna be staring at green caverns for an entire playthrough lol, and the color version looks nicer in a few aspects. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, but my main issue is that if you grabbed the Wave beam and didn't know before heading to Tourian that you need the Ice beam to kill the Metroids, you'd be pretty much screwed, most likely forcing a restart and having to grind energy and missiles and go grab one of the ice beams before trying again.

@@thenamesjoey3 it is true, and i get your frustration, but at least is not like you're literally stuck inside. you can always leave turian and get ice beam. but like you said, knowledge is key

@@LoganWolf Yeah exactly, it's more of a first time playthrough issue, but I felt like I needed to bring it up regardless

I do! It will be a bit before I do, since I'm going to go by release order, but I love AM2R a lot and want to give it the credit it deserves.

@@thenamesjoey3 Woohoo! I’m really excited for that one! It’s actually no joke my favorite Metroid in the entire series.

Get better

@@xxxlonewolf49 you should practice reading comprehension.

@rethardotv5874 Don't no project so hard bucko. Get better at the game Made FROM BEFORE YOUR PUNKASS WAS BORN before trying to comment on it negatively.

Yo Joey hit up Samus lets gooooo

I forgot that was a thing! That's awesome lmao

Indeed, a video for another day, though, can't wait to get to that one.

Thanks chief!

An official demake from fans would be interesting, I'd love to see what people could cook up on older hardware with Zero mission as the framework. That's the best part of this game, Screw Attack super early makes everything else way better. I figure the non-stackable beams were due to a hardware limitation, the inventory I'm not so sure, maybe a hardware limitation as well, but Zelda had an inventory on NES, so I'm not sure, maybe they didn't have enough time during development? Those turrets were the bane of my existence lol, they did more damage than the rinka's did.

I actually got the idea for the title from Powerwolf, Innovation by frustration from Ressurection by Erection lol

@@thenamesjoey3 Much respect

To each their own, I'm curious though, why? Not judging at all, genuinely curious about your perspective.

I didn't mention it in the video, but when I played NEStroid on 3ds virtual console years ago I made a terrible map on plain white paper, it barely helped me understand where I was, but I remember it being fun to doodle landmarks or write out the different color coded areas, if I ever revisit Nestroid I'll have to give mapping the world myself another shot.

Do you mean the game worlds are too puzzle-esque and frustrating to navigate, or that you need to be looking for all of the secrets/know where everything is to enjoy the game? I know a lot of people who felt like they had to seek out every item and find every secret when in reality a lot of upgrades are optional, and it kind of ruined the game for them, I can also understand the series having moments in each game where it's a little too hard/cryptic to tell where to go, I've played Metroid for so long that it doesn't bother me but I can see it killing enjoyment for anyone new. Would love to hear your thoughts and perspective on it!

@@thenamesjoey3 I mean it's unintuitive like a puzzle except with the shapes of the pieces hidden. You know the vague goal of destroying mother brain but it gives you absolutely no direction. You bang your head against walls until you find obstacles. All the while, there are secret walls that look exactly the same as all of the other walls that you need to destroy to get upgrades. I only played the remake Zero Mission recently so I don't remember what the original was like on this but I seem to remember at least a few of the actual progression paths being tied behind needing to bomb or go through a wall hidden by destroyable blocks that are hidden with no hint that they are secret destroyable walls. They are not oddly colored. In most cases there are not enemies walking near them. There's no air below the ground with enemies walking below them to hint that you might be able to go there or anything of the sort. It's like a puzzle in that you just have to FUMBLE your way around in an adventure-game-esque fashion just attacking every tile in the game unless you have a guide telling you exactly where to go for everything. IMO, that is horrible game design. It's a miracle that something good came from this game design which was the upgrade and come back later strategy. This gave a reason to re-use areas so developers didn't have to design them once and never use them again. They could even put harder monsters in the same areas when a character backtracks in some games if they wanted to, making optimal use of the background areas that they had to thoroughly test.

I understand that frustration, I personally think the only games that are guilty of doing this are Metroid NES, Metroid 2, and one instance in Super Metroid where there is a wall that you have to walk through with no indication it's a fake wall in order to progress, in NEStroid and Metroid 2, you definitely have parts where you fumble around trying to find out what tile is breakable in order to find something/progress deeper, it's a big part of why I played NEStroid with a map, Fusion didn't quite have that issue as much because it gave you a clear destination and most times would explain a good route to get there, so you knew even if you went into a room that a wall might be fake and to shoot/bomb anything in your path to get to that destination, Zero Mission I think hits a good middle spot where the Chozo statues when you've sat in their hand in morph ball would mark a spot on your map, telling you where the next upgrade is, but not explicitly telling you how to get there, hopefully encouraging you to explore. I can get that when it takes a detour to get something else or that it isn't the fastest path to said upgrade it can be frustrating, sometimes ya just wanna progress, ya know? I can't quite pin down any times that progression paths being blocked with breakable walls have frustrated me, but I have been playing Metroid for so long that I'm inclined to shoot around when I'm stuck, it's kind of ingrained in my brain. (However replaying games with a more critical eye in future videos will probably refresh my memory, and I'll be sure to bring up any particular examples of this in the other games) The best I can say is it might come down to a preference or a mindset difference, I love the non-linear Castlevania games as well, but for different reasons than I love Metroid, Castlevania feels to me more like checking out different rooms with different upgrades to see what's in each room of the castle, and while there are secret breakable walls with optional upgrades much like Metroid, I appreciate that usually the progression gate is a tough boss and/or coming back to an obstacle with a new upgrade to get to a new part of the map, but Metroid I like because it feels like I'm exploring and blasting through the caverns of a desolate abandoned planet, exploring ruined civilizations, shooting and bombing down walls to find the way forward in these winding caves, kind of a very explosive form of spelunking! If you can't get into Metroid, that's all good! There's games I can't get into but feel like I should, so I end up just admiring them from a distance. I hope this comment is somehow helpful, if it's super ramble-y I apologize, thanks for sharing your view on it, I like hearing different viewpoints on the games I love, if you want me to focus on one aspect of the game in particular and give my perspective just reply and lemme know!

@@thenamesjoey3 I appreciate your lengthy and diplomatic response. I think it really just comes down to taste. I personally think it's bad game design to have players fumbling around in the dark with no indication of what they should be doing, no idea of what sub-goal they should be accomplishing or how to do it, etc. I think I've beaten my opinion to death here. Besides that point, I have OCD so it's extra frustrating to not be able to get all of the extra items without a guide as well. In Zero Mission it was especially frustrating to have to look up guides to learn how to shine spark up ramps to maintain run speed and jump and morph ball into tiny holes and stuff just for a super missile. There's a whole lot of extra little spots like that as well. I think they intended on them to be bonus fun little extras for the super gamers but it was just added frustration for me. It felt like requiring a screen scroll glitch in a castlevania game to be able to pick up a secret weapon or something because of the difficulty factor with the inputs. I think if they just showed off some neat easter eggs or something, they wouldn't have annoyed me, but they counted toward completion percent.

I did get it, I just didn't show the footage of me grabbing it, my bad!

@@thenamesjoey3 Great video. Big fan of the franchise.

It took awhile but he is! (Also my main too!)

Thank ya! The Metroid 2 video isn't far off, hope you'll like that one when it's out, too!

I did, I actually had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to grab it, dropping off the ledge in morph ball at low health before the block re-covered it was really tense!

I feel you a bit, I know some people who can barely handle playing Super Metroid, I'm sure if they touched this one they'd lose their minds lol, but at the end of the day different people like and can stand different things. I'm just glad I enjoyed my time with NEStroid.

I definitely should've stated that clearly, yeah, I briefly mention beams don't stack (I think), but I should've talked about it a bit more!

@@thenamesjoey3you mentioned how they don’t stack

@@thenamesjoey3 But for real, I'm exaggerating. There's like ONE part where the Wave Beam is used for its wall-crossing purpose. It does have greater damage, but simply freezing the enemies is way better 🤷‍♂ Great game overall.

Funnily enough I didn't use the wave beam at all, I can think of a few parts where it would've made finding an upgrade or taking out a tough enemy easier than the Ice beam, though.

Thank you, definitely give it a shot if you're curious! (Love your Shockwave profile pic btw)

@@thenamesjoey3 Thanks, hahah. And, well, I went and did it! Some rooms were absolutely painful to get through, and I had to savestate my way through MB, but the freedom the game gives you to get anything you want in whatever order was a breath of fresh air.

also 5:56 best part lmao future Joey best Joey
