If there's one thing Nintendo was good at back in the day...it was telling you your health was low.

Annoying beep AND lose one of your precious three channels of the music. Honestly it's the messed-up music that bothered me the most. Remember what Wizards&Warriors did? It actually had a special "you're about to die" music track, but that was annoying too...

I actually knew I think all of it but I have no idea how. I played it around 1990, way before the net. I'm guessing I had a Nintendo Power guide and map but I have no idea. There's no way I could have discovered all that on my own

[@christophermckenzie7167]

We're enjoying a speedrun like this tear through the game but even still Nintendo did such an amazing job of creating atmosphere for an 8bit game and the feeling you got as you went deeper and deeper into Norfair when the colors and bubbles would change.

[@DukeofHell]

Nice, that was impressive. Using that morph in mid air and jump technique is pretty sick. Never knew you could do that.

I can't even get the Missiles without dying once or twice. Starting with only 30 units of energy is not a good thing (until you get the Varia Suit of course).

Well... then they're stupid like a piece of bread... in super metroid it's easy to find out... you just have to die and her suit disapears and you'll see that it's a girl... or you just be "smart" enough to use google

[@jasongentile7098]

This was the game when I was a kid.....love it

[@DangerKennyB]

As a kid, I remember being so good at Metroid (or so I thought) that the day I beat the game in less than 2 hours without dying once, I thought to myself, "Well, my work is done here." I played through it probably 12-15 times to get that good. I shudder to think what getting THIS good at it took. Some of the predictive missile shots are crazy and many of the morph ball bounce stutter steps are just beautiful. Well done.

[@TragGaming]

Dave Bautistaroid Just remember, it's TAS, meaning all the movements are prerecorded (over 77,000 times to be exact) to be perfect.

[@artstrutzenberg7197]

still even though pre recorded, just the persistence needed to make something like this is still breathtaking

[@knightlife98]

Yeah, watching this hurt my pride just a tad bit....Lol!!!!

[@theretrogamingnerd3316]

I played the hell outta this, could probably beat it in like 30 mins, but not anymore since I haven't played in years. This game is sort of cryptic, but not too cryptic to where you can never figure it out with lot a walkthrough. One of the reasons that the game was cryptic was not because of hidden secrets you need to find, but because how everything looked too similar. I remember getting lost as hell in Norfair trying to get to Ridley's lair. Kraids lair everything looks the same too but Kraids lair is much smaller and much easier to learn where to go. I also hated starting with 30 health Everytime I died, the enimies in this game take a lot of life especially in Norfair. 30 health is way too fucking low. If my health ever got low or I got tired of playing, I would die in a level with a energy tank near, since they refill your health and increase it. This game is really about learning where to go, if you know that, then this game is not too difficult. Not even mother brain is that hard for me, none of the bosses were. Not knowing where to go was the challenge for me.

[@mrhead6856]

[@nameless646]

This reminds me of when I would be up late at night waiting for my father to come home from work. I'd either be playing this or Mega Man in the basement bedroom. I never could beat this game until several years later. It was the first Metroid I ever played, but it was the last one that I beat of the original trilogy before the Prime series came along. I don't know what happened to my copy of the original sequel on Gameboy but I don't have any desire to play through that one again.

I was borne in 98 and love these games. First thing I ever played was metroid on an nes that wa just lying around in my house. Then I played all the other games in the series. And from that I can say games nowadays are sooooo much easier and I find them really unsatisfying to beat. I thought i&e as so cool to walk into school with my gba and beat metroid fusion, and zero mission in an hour and my friends couldn't do it in a week

[@totalnattybruh3517]

what i just learned...apparently the word "flawless" is pretty subjective

[@MrShockzine]

while this is classic, I do prefer the remake. difficulty in this one was unintended, just a side effect of the limitations of the hardware at the time. they couldn't really develop an Enemy AI script longer then a line or two. added gfx, controls, bonus zero suit ending. but a classic is still a classic.

[@nameless646]

Even with the Volume 29 guide and passwords, I couldn't beat this game back in 1991. I only ever got to play it as a rental, and couldn't finish it before I no longer had an NES.

The doors in this game are awesome! Totally original and made something as simple as going to the next part of the board cool..

It's really a bitch sometimes

[@XziledBlog]

I never understood why there's 2 ice beams. PD: Some items on this game require a guide to get them, they're just too well hidden

[@nameless646]

So that the player could change beams if needed since combining their effects wasn't an aspect of normal gameplay until Super Metroid.

[@XziledBlog]

@@nameless646 I just think it's a lot easier to get the first one, and is even closer to the metroid lair. I can see how it could be necessary for some bosses, but still, you can get punished for not getting the wave beam in some parts.

[@DarkOrderSolDjango]

Metroid is the green floating aliens that suck energy from living being, they are the black beast of the virus X. Samus Aran is a prime hunter, she was adopted by chozo people and they gave her the power suit, so technically she is human, she is just using an armor. With her power suit, Samus can kill the master chief, because the power bombs are very strong, plasma laser pierce trought armor and frozen shot well... and what own the most is the screw attack :D

[@MaximRecoil]

There are two inexcusable problems with this game IMO: not being able to kneel and only being able to shoot left/right and up. Fortunately they fixed those two problems in Super Metroid (SNES), and made a lot of other improvements too, which is way more fun than this game. A D-pad inherently allows 8 directions of control, so there's no excuse for not being able to shoot in all 8 directions. The same goes for the whip in Castlevania; you can only whip left/right, which is asinine. They fixed that in Super Castlevania IV (which is an awesome game), but then, inexplicably, broke it again in subsequent Castlevania games.

[@LongDefiant]

What about Samus Aran, then?

[@fanoffreedom3003]

Fuck youre good or he or she is good at metroid ,, bringing back memories this video
