Super Metroid Review and Retrospective SNES

[@1504Shawn]

I'm still saying, SNES has a Big 5: Super Mario World, Zelda A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. And this Big 5 is better than 95% of the games today, and are some of the best (if not the best) games of all time. Happy 20th Birthday Masterpiece...that is also known as SUPER METROID!

[@juanstrong3695]

Don't forget about Donkey Kong Country 2.

[@KidPrarchord95]

Nah man, I don't either.

[@lullylew9083]

Tastes change though. I was all over turn based RPGs as a youngster, couldn't get enough of them they were magical. Now? Oh god no. I just can't, combat's slow, stories don't capture me anymore, music doesn't amaze me and the dialogue so long winded. And these days RPGs just seem to throw so much irrelevant time wasting crap at you . Could be that I've lost my imagination but still.

It's almost impossible to overstate how MINDBLOWING this game was back in the mid 90s!

Enjoy your first playthrough of this masterpiece! (I wish i could wipe my memory and re-experience this game for the first time!)

[@esmooth919]

When I first played this game back in 1994, it instantly reminded me of the first game, But my first attempt was derailed, because I got lost in Norfair, because I didn't know where the ice beam was, or know about it for that matter.

To this day and after so many games I've tried to relive the experience that Super Metroid was for me. Only few games have come close to it (Metroid Prime 1, Dark Souls and Demon Souls for example) to making me feel what I felt when I played what in my eyes is the best videogame I've ever played. Here's a toast to Super Metroid and this wonderful review that I hope will make many people try this perennial masterpiece.

The sixteen bit generation gave the most back to gamers.When Starfox came out the jump from 2d to 3d was so impressive no other technological improvement to date has impressed me as much.It was like discovering the wheel,it was a brave new frontier.Combined with the snes awesome sound capabilities,that shit blew our little minds back in the day.

But as it got late, and everyone trickled off to the dorms for bed... Lights off, alone in the gym, completely captured and lost in the world of Super Metroid playing on this huge projection screen!!! The highlight of my early teenage life!!!🤗 I absolutely love this game!! Even to this day I have it downloaded and play on my 3DS, and now Switch eShop Super Nintendo!

I seriously cant get the wall jump down. i've tried for hours.

[@lmeza1983]

Is way simpler than you think, when you jump and press right on the d-pad Samus spins to the right in the air if you happen to hit a wall she will keep spinning but going down. That's exactly when you press and hold the d-pad in the opposite direction then press the jump button, repeat again until you reach a higher area. Keep in mind that while she is still spinning against a wall you have plenty of time to do it even if she is failing down, so you can recover from a bad timing. If you control the jump in the air you don't even need 2 walls! So you approach the wall spinning and repeat.

Excellent vid and well articulated. It's been a few years since I've played this timeless classic and after watching this vid I think I'm gonna give it another run. I never knew about the special moves and glitches before, particularly the one using the power bomb to restore Samus's missiles and energy. Gonna try and learn those moves during my next play-through. Thanks for doing this vid, helping to keep classic old school games like this at the forefront.

[@SasquatchHunterX]

I hate how everyone gushes over super metroid and I could never get into it. I've tried playing it multiple times but each time I just get bored and uninterested. I never know where to go, and while the exploration is a huge part of the game, sometimes I feel like it's a little ridiculous. I want to feel that awesome feeling that leaves gamers speechless when they play super metroid, but I just can't. I'm honestly jealous.

[@QM571]

I really like the game but your right exploration in this game is a bit too important. And there is this one glitch where a certain power up won't appear after you beat a boss (can't remember which one). This guy is also lying when he says the wall jump move is easy.

[@giorgiomx]

I was fortunate to play Super Metroid back in the day, it was awesome. 20 years later I have the opportunity to play any of other awesome games I didn't know about back then... but ended up playing again Super Metroid, and it was great again, I was like "hmm.., I was supposed to do something here", "Ooh... I remember this place, cool", "what am I missing?", etc. I've never played Link to the Past, so I gave it a try weeks a go, and just left it after two sessions, it was nice but I guess is because I already know more or less what to espect(exploration and backtracking), whereas with Super Metroid back then was something new, if it instead were Link to the Past back then and never played Super Metroid is very probable that it would had happened to me what it happened to you. So, for me to enjoy Link to the Past I think I just need to mentally setup myself, to play it in a relaxed manner, and enjoy it, no hurries. The same may apply to you for Super Metroid.

[@foldnquads]

I enjoyed Metroid:Fusion and Metroid:Zero Hour more than Super Metroid, but after plaything those games, I am going to go back and play Super Metroid and see how I fell.

[@Gutigwolfe]

Heres the thing dude, even though the game is a masterpiece it also comes down to if its your style of game or not. For me I love non linear experiences but for some people they hate having too much freedom. Some people like Call of Duty where I can't really get into it. I like Metroid where some people hate it becauses theres too much to do. Also some people like multiplayer where in most part I prefer single player. What it comes down to is not all games are for everyone. Although I honestly have very few games I don't like, some less than others but I play pretty much anything.

Super Metroid will always have that special place on my heart, I remember the first time I played it I was so scared, the music, the enemies, you didn't know what to expect, but I just couldn't stop playing it, scared and everything, but I wanted more, till I finished it and just yelled felt that sensation of achieving something special, special memories that will I'll always keep in my heart, as I keep my Super Metroid cartridge on that special place on my book shelf, we need more games like that, we really do ^.^

[@pablikenemi]

Men you right, i can't stop play this game... my first console are the atari 2600 27 years ago, from there to now i play a lot but never find Another game like SM... Is the atmosphere, is zebez, i dont now but for me is simply the best game ever.. Thanks a lot for make this video and sorry 4 my bad english..

[@Networkengie]

Absolutely, and far from everything I've ever played, this and the original are and will be, my all time favorite SNES and NES game. You have spoken words for this game so accurately, so elegantly that I must replay this game emulated again for the 50th time. Maybe sometime I can try to get every little secret and on another playthrough, get the best ending.

[@Fleshaga]

Best review ever. A bit modest tho as Super Metroid is waaay better than he Thinks.

[@NESComplex]

LOL. Yeah I didn't praise it enough, did I?

[@lucasrachal]

Great video, tremendous game!! My all-time fave, I remember playing this game in the 90s with my friends, handing the controller back and forth. I still play this game at least once a year, it's too good!

[@182KillJoy]

I almost cry... this is not a Nice Review, this is an awesome review!! Nintendo please, please, make a remake of this ! maybe not now cause we want it perfectly, not good, perfect! i would kill to play a remake of this game on prime style or something like that...

[@biospartan3569]

Like first person? Not like the piece of shit of Metroid Other M? Perfect right? It will definitely take hell of a time to make such an amazing game into a first person.

[@182KillJoy]

Slendy Psycho Other M was a good game dude, the third metroid game on my list

[@biospartan3569]

Not really, Since, firstly, The controls were just shitty. Because of the removal of the nunchuk. And using the d-pad to move and stuff. Secondly, The Samus in there. The voice acting was just... Dead. She showed no expression whatsoever. She acted overpowered by some G.F guy. even though she is way more badass, has an amazing suit, amazing arsenal, awesome moves. Thirdly, The reason why she couldn't use the abilities. Adam just told her not to use anything but the morph ball, and beam. And she was all like "Ok, I don't mind. I'll follow your orders 'cause I just have a stupid story with you." Plus, The Varia Suit, Gravity suit, and some other shit did no harm to the place or the people. They just benefited Samus in her survival. No harm done. Fucking game... Fourth reason, Her interpretation. We have seen how Samus was throughout all of the games. She is an independent woman that doesn't give two shits about shit. Badass and all. In this game we saw a woman that obeys orders just like that. Without giving a good reason to do it. Fifth reason, Adam Malkovich in this game. In Metroid Fusion, the game after the events of Other M, according to the timeline, we saw that Samus had a special bond with Adam. He was a father figure to her. Very dear, in fact. But in the game We didn't see any of those reasons. We just saw a straight up asshole that went on barking orders at Samus. Like... There should've been some reasons to make the player be like "Alright, they have a nice bond. Like father son or daughter. It's understandable why she missed him so much in Fusion and at the end of Other M!" No, we didn't have any reason to be like that. Nor for Samus to be like "NOOOOOO, WHY'D YOU GO ADAM!!!! YOU WERE LIKE A FATHER TO MEEE!!!! D:" No. We instead were like "Girl, Why the fuck do you miss that asshole? Guy can go fuck himself. Just... AAAAGH, SAMUS! Get yo shit together. He was your fucking former C.O. Not your actual C.O. Goddamnit, Samus." Yes, that was pretty much all of the fan's reaction towards her affection towards Adam. Hell, we even got more affection towards Anthony than for Adam. Oh, and last thing. I liked the suit better than anything in that game. Maybe I'll give it another try though, I don't know. Maybe. Probably not.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you!!!! :-)

[@supernintaylor2721]

I sort of disagree. Sure it would be a lot of fun, but I don't think they would be able to replicate the perfection that is Super Metroid. I feel that part of what makes the game so amazing is the nostalgic SNES graphics. It just wouldn't feel the same in 3D. Also, the limit on the graphics is what made it so easy to find perfect hiding spots for items and pathways. I think a remake would be a fun game, and I would absolutely buy it, but again... perhaps I am just biased, as I believe that SNES is the greatest system ever made, but I just can't see it having the same impact that Super Metroid had/has.

[@dogsoldiersc]

Glad to see one of my favorite KZbinrs back!

[@NESComplex]

Thank you! That means a lot!

[@bigmetroidfan1263]

Super Metroid is my favorite video game of all time

[@archangel5627]

I have to agree that Super Metroid is one of the greatest games of all time. Other than the beautiful seamless graphics, the music and sound design is the stand out feature to Super Metroid. It adds so much depth and character to the game. I absolutely love it. You did a fantastic job describing this one of a kind video game!

[@TheJustin4848]

Super Metroid has next to no dialogue, no hand-holding, and is still ten times better than most games today. I feel like developers these days are missing something. They have decided to fill their pockets with money, instead of pleasing us with amazing worlds, characters, and stories.

[@Ronniethesage]

I would say that it holds your hand at least a little bit with the recharge stations, comprehensive maps, abundant energy tanks, and to an extent, the X-Ray goggles. It's a great game, but I wish it was a bit harder.

[@DrGreatJob]

Ronniethesage Try to speed run it, then it becomes super hard

[@Ronniethesage]

DrGreatJob I'm not particularly good at zipping through games, nor do I enjoy it. Even if Super Metroid does become hard with that challenge, though, it doesn't change the fact that the game's resources make a normal run rather easy at its core, which is what counts in the end. It's possible to make even the easiest games brutally difficult with the appropriate artificial restrictions/challenges.

[@TheJustin4848]

***** Yes they do. Nowadays, we have games like Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Undertale, Firewatch, and even games coming out like Cuphead.

[@TheJustin4848]

***** Actually, with AAA games like Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Wonderful 101, Dying Light, Mirror's Edge, Metal Gear Solid 5, Evolve, Xenoblade Chronicle X, Red Dead Redemption, and upcoming games like Persona 5, Last Guardian, Zelda U, Kingdom Hearts 3, etc., I believe we have been seeing the rise of AAA games becoming better. If the only thing you play is indie games, then how will you even know there are still good AAA games?

[@nintendojoe2958]

The original Metroid was dark, very difficult (your first time through), and tons of fun! Super Metroid took the same concept but made it even better and is in my opinion the best game on the SNES... perhaps all 16 bit games!!! I'll never forget the first time I encountered Kraid!

[@caliklepto1316]

I just can't stand having to bomb EVERY inch of the freaking game

[@Coolman13355]

The X-Ray Scope is so nice. (As is the flashlight in Shadow Complex.)

[@Varstilone]

"WE ARE AWESOME" 8:45 Cracked me up good, that one.

[@eejdmrj3hw]

The part where you started ranting about other's problems with the game was too close minded. Some people just dont like forced exploration and non-linear games.

[@eejdmrj3hw]

***** I'm not saying it is a bad game at all, but just as you put, it is not for everyone. However, when the guy in the video talks about people who didnt find the game enjoyable, he fails to see this and just says they are playing the game wrong or that they are idiots for not liking this type of game.

[@eejdmrj3hw]

Hennesg please, troll harder

[@Hennesg]

TheUnownOfAwesome You dont seem to understand what a troll is. Im totally honest right there. I just cant take all the political correctness nowadays, you have to take care that you dont offend any minority in the slightest way or people come and say "why dont you think of them people", jews get offended by shit -> fuck em. Gays get offended by shit -> fuck em :P. Women/Nerds/Poor People/Feminists/Politicians get offended by this or that shit -> FUCK EM. And people that kinda "meh" didnt liked super metroid and get offended when a dude who LOVES this game says "these people are idiots".... welll...... they should be fucked the hardest. no...... one...... cares..... about...... your ..... fucking...... feelings

[@eejdmrj3hw]

Hennesg oh irony

[@ThreeBitsShort]

Love the video Chris, the villagers have been sent home and the torches have been extinguished.

[@NESComplex]

I was getting worried... villagers.... torches... yikes!

[@N0sferat66]

"walljumping is frustrating" Comes from so called gamers from this generation... "Pay now to increase your level!" "Buy DLC and get 50+ attack on your herpderpsword!" In short: Too hard? Try crying: NERF PLIS

[@ominouscap5813]

Nice, appreciate the effort that went into this video.

[@shymickey6]

Pretentious and boring

[@lmeza1983]

you are describing yourself

[@shymickey6]

Luis Fernando maybe? it takes one to know one.

[@GamesNShit]

even if i know these games in and out , your videos still give me goosebumps .. good job

[@seanfeld-]

Great video. You pretty much summed up how I feel about super metroid also. I'm playing thru the super metroid link to the past randomizer right now. It's soo much fun.

[@bigdeagle1331]

I was senior in high school when I saw the first commercial for it! It came out right before my birthday in April! This was one of last game I played on Super Nintendo! Before moving on to 3DO and then PlayStation 1!
