One thing I love about Metroid II and Samus Returns is that throughout the Metroid series we are told how dangerous Metroids are and how they are the ultimate bioweapon. But in most games we just see their larval form. These two are some of the few times we get to see just how incredibly powerful and dangerous they become when given time to metamorphize beyond the cute jellyfish stage. I mean a few Omega Metroids could probably lay waste to an entire army.

[@ASquared544]

The problem is that only the larval state has the energy draining capabilities, which are the reason they’re so sought after: that attack kills extremely quickly and is extremely difficult to defend against or counter. The metroid mutations are strong but they don’t have that same deadly ability larval metroids have.

In my opinion, mercurysteam saved Metroid as a whole. The previous two entries before Samus Returns were garbage, and it's possible that Metroid could've ended if Nintendo didn't do something to fix it. Samus Returns was the light that Metroid needed, and they've kept the series alive with SR and Dread.

Man I spent like an hour+ on Diggernaut, I didn't know you could use Spider to prevent being sucked in and that you could jump on the head when it's electrified as long as it's on the bomb openings. Couldn't figure out Queen Metroid either with the grapple mechanic, had no idea what the red orb meant, nor to use spider to stop from being pushed against the fire wall. FeelsBadMan.

[@Macadamian111]

@@gabiwolf1439Kraid is a joke compared to Ridley

[@leon4000]

Kraid was giant and bulky. Too gargantuan to barely move around. The original Kraid had some space but Samus used her agility to get around, over, and on his spikes he shoots along with his other attacks. And Kraid was easily agitated, opening his mouth when his face has been shot, leaving his open mouth vulnerable to attacks. Kraid despite his efforts was unable to stop Samus twice on Zebes. Whatever was left of him was also destroyed by the planet's destruction. His clone Kraid in Dread had one disadvantage. Being restrained while the rest of his lower body was deep in lava. Obviously, Raven Beak had his boys keep him chained down and have some way to eliminate him should he escape. That's my opinion anyhow. Kraid didn't get to move around much while Samus was thrashing him. His anger had being bested only got Kraid furious and broke out of his restraints, which was already bad enough because if his restraints were completely broken, he would be incinerated by the lava. Which is exactly what happened after his defeat. Samus already knew that as dangerous as Kraid was, he was restrained and literally is in lava which is a death trap on its own. All she had to do is make him undo the shackles and collar and the lava itself would finish him. Samus already defeated him twice, and she had to beat him down and let the once mighty Kraid survived by his clone on short time more or less take himself out.

He never should have been a final boss. He's just a random space pirate commander.

The life cycle of Metroids is weird. It goes from a jellyfish looking thing, to a beetle, to a armadillo, to a spider, to a more believable metamorphosis of lizards. After that they stay pretty reptilian (even if they aren’t) looking like dragons and dinosaurs. The Queen Metroid looks like the Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2 lol. Really the only thing “Metroid” about each form is their jelly bellies. Their mouths too I guess. They always have those teeth and shape. These aren’t even the only kinds of Metroids. There are mutant variants in the Prime games. Which weirdly come before this in the canon. But explains why Samus spared the baby Metroid. The new Ridley boss kinda bridges the gaps. Showing he’s going from Meta Ridley back to his original body. Since in canon it goes 1 then the Prime games. Kinda like if Darth Vader’s suit healed him over time. And in ROTJ he has less of his suit because he doesn’t need all of it now. So by the time Super Metroid happens, Ridley is back to his old self and ready to fight. Probably should have kept the cybernetics tho.

4:08 emulator issue, analog only has 8 directions

[@hugo9766]

You can stop Samus and aim freely just by pressing R on 3ds. He just aimed wrongly this second.

[@hfc2x]

@@hugo9766 Yes, anyone who has played this game knows that, but it's very obvious he's playing on an emulator and without an analog stick. It's easy to tell, because whenever he's aiming, he's obviously standing in place (as you would with the L button), but he aims in either a perfect diagonal, or in a 30-degree angle. On actual hardware is almost impossible, due to how the Circle Pad works. If you have a 3DS, you know what I'm talking about. And also, as someone who has played this game on 3DS for hundreds of hours, to the point that I can beat every boss without taking a hit, I can tell you it's very evident he has no idea what he's doing (as if it's the first time he's played this game), and that his movement is extremely weird and erratic, to the point where he if he was playing on original hardware with that level of skill, he'd get hit non stop. I call save sates or slowed-down play speed. See, it's very evident that against the Alpha Metroid at 0:23, he shows he doesn't understand you can only hurt it with missiles, yet he avoids getting hit regardless. At 2:20 he doesn't recognize the extremely obvious floor electrify attack telegraph, to the point he's about to get hit, but manages to get a frame-perfect jump before the attack is executed, so he avoids it. After killing the Gamma Metroid, he stands in place, and aims perfectly diagonally up and shoots at the door. At 3:09, he performs a perfect turn-around in the air while fighting the Zeta Metroid, which is downright physically impossible to do with a Circle Pad. Not only that, but he keeps jump-firing the Zeta Metroid during the fight, because he can't aim at it, whereas any 3DS player would just stand in place and shoot at it, because the Circle Pad allows you to do this. This is not to mention yet again, that at 4:18, he fails to recognize the timing for the parry, misses it, and then performs, yet again, a frame-perfect jump to avoid getting hit. I could go on and on, but you get the point. Ngl, I was kinda hyped for this video, because it's always a delight to see masterfully skilled players pull off challenges such as this, but this guy is just an unskilled, cheating fraud lol.

@@hfc2x I've made a mistake. I thought he was being aggressive, and I overeacted. I finished this game for the first time à week ago, and was a bit salty, since I sucked at it. I honestly was amazed by the skill of the player, and I misunderstood the comment. My bad. (Didn't know you have emulator for 3ds, ty for that)

[@hugo9766]

I understood you wrongly, sorry for that.

I call a break on Canon! Samus didn't blow the planet to smithereens at the end of the game!

[@guywithrevolver]

I wish they added serris into the game somewhere to give some context for why he appears in fusion (and by appear i mean act as a nice looking skeleton decoration in a fish tank). AM2R did that and I thought it was pretty cool

[@danielmunoz1275]

That's one of the few complaints I have with this Metroid game, and it is that they didn't thought of giving continuity to Metroid Fusion. It's a great remake, but what would've made it perfect for me was to add details like the ones AM2R did. At a point in the game I thought there were too much Alpha Metroids, the developers could've easily cut down a few and use that time and resources to make bosses of Metroid Fusion, since they're supposed to be creatures fron SR388, what the heck, they could've made them regular enemies but a little tougher than the rest so they'd seem like actual part of the ecosystem.

[@robertkenny1201]

AM2R is overrated.

[@TechBlade9000]

He isn't an SR388 native, only the first zone in Fusion was a SR388 clone

[@Chris-gx1ei]

Interesting that in the Original for Gameboy Arachnus was the only Boss that wasn't a Metroid 😅

[@venis1335]

Next to beat fusion no damage, haha I've already done it

I just realize i skipped aracnus :)

Wait I just fought of a theroy what if that baby metroid was responsible for changing samus into a metroid in metroid dread

thanks for the spoiler

@@anwenlokier2292 No, this baby Metroid is the same one that died at the end of Super Metroid, Samus was turned into a Metroid because of the Metroid vaccine she got to fight off the X-parasites in Fusion.

[@kichiroumitsurugi4363]

While you are correct, this is not the full story. Basically, after the Baby Metroid dies at the end of Super, Samus went back to SR388 and got infected by an X Parasite. In response, the Galactic Federation used remains from the baby Metroid to create a vaccine, which in turn made Samus herself part Metroid.

[@tibwars]

Haven't played this game but watching this is making me think it's better than dread

[@sasook]

It isn’t, but it’s still very good. Dread wouldn’t exist without this game.

[@kichiroumitsurugi4363]

@@sasook Or well, it prolly would, just not with the mechanics that SR gave us

[@zackwoods5077]

I think this one is still solid, but Dread is the better game as they refined the controls and the bosses are more intuitive.
