If wishes were horses:

Metroid Maker coming soon to Switch and hacked 3DS everywhere

FUCK YOU.
this will never be real and now i want it

Is it just me or do powerups in AM2R come way too early? Was M2 like this?

>Metroid Maker
Not sure if want. Interesting idea, certainly, but it can't really avoid being just a Mario Maker clone with Metroid elements.

This would be amazing

Should I play AM2R before or after Samus Returns?

(I've played the original Metroid II many times)

Post your favourite Boss Music

>playing AM2R
>it's literally perfect other than the fact it uses Zero Mission physics

I'd like to see another Metroid homebrew with some sort of dedicated run button and good physics that isn't a Super Metroid romhack. But otherwise Samus Returns is gonna have to amazing to live up to AM2R, still excited for another take on it though.

spider ball was one of the earliest powerups in 2. it basically defined how you moved around the world

plus, since am2r is bringing in all the shit from all the other games but distributing them along a pretty-closely-recreated, they're going to be dropping at much higher frequency

Nah, I feel like AM2R is slightly easier than Metroid 2.

granted I haven't played the original for about 15 years. I lost my cartridge

That's easy

Only one right answer.

Maybe they could have it where you make rooms separately, connect them to make maps, and you can share both rooms and maps. That would be super cool.

Do you think they'll include a cameo for x parasites? Like actually showing how metroids feed on them in one scene.

Either this or the MP3 version of it:

>Playing Metroid 2
>Stuck at 18 Metroids remaining
>Have every powerup and access to Plasma and Spazer beam at any time (saved between them)

This is a nightmare. I've backtracked everywhere, bombed every wall, and have all but 10 Missiles. I just can't figure out where I need to go. I can't rush through the zones with the acid because four energy tanks and 99 health isn't enough to reach the end.

I can't let my younger self best me. I beat this as a kid without help, and I'm struggling now. I'm not even 30 yet, fuck.

We can only hope user.

With how much shit ZM added I am hopeful

Since Sakamoto is involved, probably will do that around the Metroid den at the end of the game.

Then people will spaz out and talk about a Fusion remake for years to come, or a Fusion sequel, and the old Metroid fans will just sit back and think about how it'll be another decade break before we see any of that

...

Metroids are no fun at all to fight in AM2R for me, I just cheese them, while in the original it felt like my precise jumps made a difference

Which Metroid game has the best bosses in the series?

Did you draw a map?
I had to draw a map since I dont have weeks to waste on one smallish game like that.

Echoes

>2D
Fusion
>3D
Metroid Prime 2

>You should turn off the hint system
..this might be a very good idea.

I never really bothered that much with the hints back in the day because they were only popping up after a very long time when I obviously lost track of where I'm supposed to go. But now I'm playing the unpatched NTSC version of the game and what the fuck, that one currently totally showers me with this shit.
I don't remember MP1 telling me where the save stations or the bosses are with the hints on.

go back as close as you can to the starting area and start looking from there is the best advice i can give you.

Never drew a map before. Always winged it blind.

I planned on backtracking there, so I'll get on it right now.

It just feels like that because you get space jump so soon

The reason you get space jump is because spider balling can accomplish the same thing but it would bring the game to a crawl, so they might as well let you fly.

Fusion for 2D, Prime 1 for 3D

Fusion, bar none

here come the waifu fags everyone

...

Play it now, there's no reason to wait.

Prime 1's bosses are its biggest flaw, the only good ones are Thardus and Meta Ridley, even worse is that Kraid got scrapped.

Goddammit, Phil. You really are the worst.

>I don't remember MP1 telling me where the save stations or the bosses are with the hints on.
IIRC it only tells you where that save station and the one in Chozo Ruins are, but I could just have a bad memory and be wrong. Assuming those were the only two that it actually tells you about though, it always struck me as weird that they even bothered. Like, maybe it makes sense to point the player to the first one in the Chozo Ruins, since that'd probably be the first one they find after Samus's ship itself, but still.

this is all normal for phil

user, no. I can't take these feels.

Why are these fuckers so expensive, y'all?

I want one so bad.

>Special Edition of Samus Returns already sold out everywhere
I swear being a Nintendo fan is so fucking bittersweet

The problem with the flying metroids is their hitbox is bullshit. You're supposed to shoot them from underneath, but the room won't let you get underneath them and they fly in a shallow arc. So the only way you get to shoot at them 98% of the time is from the front, and unless you're gosu your missiles just have to hit at the exact right time to tag the hitbox. I played the game spamming missiles. Sometimes I got lucky, sometimes I didn't.

And ofcourse once you hit them the stun knocks them back and you can pump more. Then it just feels cheap and how many missiles you waste on the fight comes down the luck.

BitF was such a nice comic

Fusion

I never cared for the prime bosses because auto aim

aim diagonally there is a reason you can

Post best rom hacks

This is what I literally do in 2D metroids

It looks like Gamestop still has them in stock, and Amazon still hasn't put their first batch up, so you can sign up to have them email you when they become available.

Anyone else like this Samus the most?

Seriously. I want one of these like you don't even know. All the Samus figures I have so far are complete shit and this actually looks great.

romhacking.net/hacks/3317/

Not them, but I played and beat AM2R on Keyboard, and Hard Mode Omega Metroids were THE fucking worst, you recall that area where you'd morph ball in and it'd just be a rectangle room? I had to slowly chip away at the bastards because they kept deflecting my shots as well as punching holes into my HP.

Not a bad game.

Metroid is worth it.

Yes, but you gotta be a special kind of retarded to fuck up at Metroid Prime, a game that is fundamentally designed to tell you everything you would ever need to know about anything.

And you know full well that come September, there's going to be a new TIHYDP to look forward to.

That's how I played. The fights still play out like that.

They should've made it where you get above the metroids to draw them up, then drop down and shoot them from underneath.

Easily one of the best looks for her. I think the only one that's on par is the Hunter's face.

i just found one made by a different guy about him playing MP

This is probably the closest to what I'd like Samus to look like. Beautiful but visibly a little older, like someone in their 30's or so.

I'd prefer her hair to be something more like a sandy blonde though.

Oh yeah. I think everybody just goes in the morph ball holes, waits for the omega to leave, run out, and shoot it when it turns around. It also had a wack hitbox too.

The weakspot on the back was a cool idea, but who's going to risk that when you can cheese them the whole time?

Come on man

Why is she so dang skinny in Samus Returns? Like, I'm glad we're getting a new 2D Metroid but I feel like they couldn't help making her look "girly" so they gave her these super long, slender legs.

Do they forget there's supposed to be a person in that armor?

Already signed up for Amazon, though I has no idea they never went up in their site

>giving Gamestop money
kek

Who HACKED here?

True...what's the best way to order a Figma? On Amazon they're like $95 but I dunno if that's in line with what I'd pay with exchange rates and shit.

personally if there is ever a movie either cara delvigne or emily blunt should play samus

Been that way since fusion and ZM user

Also the suit is literally made of energy/nanomachines. It doesnt have to be think plates over the entire suit

...

Anyone know what the amiibos actually do? It's nice that the metroid is squishy, but what does it do for me?

Aside from the first game, Fusion, and the Primes, Samus's suit has never looked like a person could actually fit inside it.
The abdominal area alone looks far too thing for any human being to be able to fit in it.

What happens when Samus farts in her suit?

...

What's a filehost that's allowed on Sup Forums without the spam filter banning me? I want to upload the super metroid rom pre-patched with GBA style because a lot of you need to try it.

A bit but not nearly as much as in SR. Maybe it's translating it into 3D and seeing how the spider legs move or something. I think it's better in the Varia from what we saw in the trailer at least.

Gross

Never played Primes. Should I emulate the GC originals, or the Wii trilogy? How well do either emulate?

Yeah, I hate that as well. The Power Suit should be a little more thicc. It's basically a mobile, human-sized tank to me, and the suit loses that feeling when it's more slimmed down.

Charlize Theron or bust.

If you pirate Samus Returns I will tell Samus about you, pirate scum.

my lord he got stuck at the very beginning shooting tutorial how do you even manage that?

>the girl who lived
>dumbeldore looking admiral in the background
>wand looking pencil thing that also looks like the arm canon
nice
I love this artist.

Better than her look in Echoes.

>what does a squishy metroid do for you

Why would people ask for a fusion remake? Nothing past 2 needs it.

>ZS with heels that couldn't even fit in the suit
>even with the heels she only comes up to the chest

Is this artist retarded?

>walk into room
>gets dark
>chozo ghosts
>WEEEEO WOOO WEEEEO WOOOO
>spend ten minutes killing the damn things
>leave room
>"Oops, wrong hallway"
>they're all back

>late in the game every bloody room's enemies are replaced by them
For what purpose?

i wish i am updated way pat the point where its possible unfortunately i would need someones hacked 3ds at this point

It's actually accurate to Other M.
So I'd say they're not retarded.

Ive only played metroid fusion and prime hunters. I liked them both

>accurate to Other M

Who gives a shit about that?

If you kill them once you can ignore them in subsequent visits. The doors don't lock after the first time.
In some rooms the doors don't even lock the first time.

Wii Trilogy for mouse aiming.

Considering the suit is existing separate from samus I would say yes.

Because thats not a thing.

Just saying.

This just looks like someone slapped Samus' anime hair onto a generic woman model

To make the game harder, also LORE. You can just run through the room and ignore them if you want. You only need to clear a room the first time you go through.

>The doors don't lock after the first time.
They do in Echoes though for the Dark Space Troopers which was a bafflingly stupid decision.

Finally decided to properly 100% Super Metroid. I'm not sure if I forgotten how to play these games or it's just old design screwing with me, there were a lot of "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIGURE THAT OUT" moments, like a secret room hiding being a literal fake wall (the only one in the game as far as I'm aware). Shit like that was used to sell strategy guides back in the day.

Wouldn't it make it too easy? I heard the Wii editions already have toned down difficulty as it is.

She was transitioning to fapbait throughout the prime franchise. Metroid prime 1 is best looking samus that wasnt zero slut suit

Samus is going to be paired with Anthony Higgs

Is there a guide for this? I dont want to waggle.

Right? He is literally that stupid. In a twisted way, it's almost impressive the sheer incompetence on display with this guy.

In terms of the game, ya doofus. Get your mind out of the gutter.
