You hype?

No

Of course

Special edition pre-ordered day one.

Sure, when it's not stuck on a 6 year old mobile phone level hardware device

But it's not on the Switch.

Can't wait. Hopefully it isn't shit.

Yep. Got that special edition preordered. Will torrent the amiibos though. Fuck that shit.

More importanty. how many of you gonna pirate it?

Not really no, it's just looks like an average 2.5D game.

I have AM2R so no.

I already played AM2R. I'm not spending $40 on the inferior game.

Pretty hype. Going to pirate it first then buy it if it's actually good. I would love to have this in my physical collection, but only if it's good.

>Getting hyped for a remake by the same studio who killed Castlevania
>When Metroidvania perfection released in February

...

yes, pre-ordered all the amiibos i could find too

>Metroid threads can't even get past 20 posts
What the actual fuck went wrong?

So because a really, really good game in the genre was created, that means no more are ever allowed to be created ever again?
What kind of Metroid-On-Head Retarded logic is this?

Honest to God it's been the same shitposting extravaganza in each of these threads every day now for the past week. Everyone's exhausted.

Who would have thought having the same thread several times a day every single day for the past two months would get tiresome.

So why not have actual discussion about the series and upcoming game instead of shitposting?

fucking idiots

Shitposters always manage to derail.
Always. 99.9% guaranteed.

glad I have freeshop
fuck 3ds now

I told you. Everyone's exhausted.
Pity because we seem to have a small opening right now while the shitposters are away...
Keep this to yourself, but I am very hyped for Samus Returns and have spent the last week playing through the OG Metroid II and Super Metroid to get caught up. Loved both of them. I think the remake looks great and I'm going to enjoy playing it on the 15th.

Hollow Knight not only set a new standard for art direction the way the map accounts for non linearity is outstanding, there are paths based around completely optional upgrades that accommodate and reward players who go out of their way to explore. The movement is also amazing, chaining together wall jumps and air dashes for platforming and combat is one of the most satisfying things out there.

I'm afraid after playing Hollow Knight I already know Samus Returns will be disappointing, MercurySteam is already a big red flag and from what we've seen this game doesn't seem to be made with the core Metroid audience in mind. It's just hard to be hype for the game.

I never liked Metroid 2, it felt way too clunky and cumbersome. I'm really not looking forward to this one at all, even with all the changes we've so far.

Buy the game, pirate the amiibos using amiiqo or a pack of cheap NFC cards from China. Tell Nintendo that this physical DLC shit isn't going to fly by voting with your wallet.

We have SR threads EVERY FUCKING DAY for fuck's sake, normally by the same guy going
>why is no one talking about this?
We've already talked about what we can for now.

I started playing Zero Mission yesterday, it's my first Metroid and I just beat Kraid.
What other games do I need to play before Samus Returns and can I make it in time?

None of the 2D Metroid games should take more than 6 hours. Play Super and Fusion for Metroid and if you want some other good ones try Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, Hollow Knight and Axiom Verge.

That one's pretty much all you need since SR's a remake of 2 while ZM is a remake of 1. There's the Prime trilogy and I guess Federation Force if you also want to get hyped for Prime 4

>special edition NA
>a fucking CD with the OST
>implying anyone uses a CD-player in 2017
>implying you can't simply donwload/YouTube it for free
>mfw Europe gets the REAL special edition with all the good stuff and collectibles

Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time. Everyone should play it, including you.

I get it, metroid on metroid!

I'll give it a pirate I suppose. Should be good for wasting a day or two.

>6 hours
Is this true? I'll put them next on my backlog if that's true

Yeah, all Metroid and Castlevania games are very short but have high replayability when you learn new routes and so forth. For example in ZM you can fight Ridley before Kraid if you want.

Super Metroid is the longest of the three 2D games but I can't see it taking more than 9 hours at most even if you are really meticulous and go for a high completion %.

>metroid on metroid!

a metroid (from Alien) on Metroid's (game) head!

...

extremely
we havent had a 2d metroid since Zero mission.

Look it's simple; the metroid from the movie Alien is sitting on top of the character Metroid, from the Metroid series which is named after him.

>AM2R

...

Ridley stop

...

THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPECIES FROM ALIEN KNOWN AS METROID IS SITTING (verb: a continuous period of being seated) ON TOP OF THE CHARACTER KNOWN AS METROID FROM THE SERIES METROID, WITH DIFFERENT DEVELOPERS SUCH AS NINTENDO, TEAM NINJA, AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS. METROID IS A HERO WHO GOES ACROSS THE GALAXY TO STOP ALIENS FROM HURTING HIS CHILDERENS.

...

...

The alien commonly known as a metroid from the series alien is sitting on top of metroid, another alien/human inbreed. Why are you sitting on his head, alien metroid? why? Does it please you? Are you trying to annoy mr metroid? Please get off, we want you back little alien metroid... we want you back...

ROM hacks shouldn't be included. 0/10

Turns out Metroid was actually a girl. Who would've guessed?

what the hell. when does samus come into play in this game

unofficial sprite 0/10

most metroidfags arent actually metroid fans and just wanted a reason to shitpost anti-nintendo stuff

It's a joke. Because of comments like that on the old version since AM2R was on it.
Here, have the original version.

thats more like it.

I see these exact same posts in every Metroid thread

>AM2R fags butt in with their rom hack
>Hollow Knight fag shills his indie game
>AC fag bitches about amiibos and posts his TF/Spongebob reaction pics

Don't you guys get tired?

Why are AM2Rfags so fucking stupid?

Glad you approve.

samus moves like a dude 2/10

...

Maybe when OP stops reposting the same shit others will too.

These last seven years have been absolutely agonizing, I am willing to accept any Metroid game that is even halfway acceptable, remake or not

thanks the retards at NoA for that

they are even worse than Konami...

You think that's bad?
Sonic Mania literally had a vinyl record release.

Where the fuck did you fags order the special edition

>You hype?

Not a chance, 2017. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me thrice, shame on me.

good thing im a metroid fan and bough all the amiibos already!

Hey cucks what do I do here?

>All ready for this game and M&L remake

>r button doesn't always work

>Blow into it and it starts working again for a bit

Do I just have shit in there? Think some compressed air might fix it? I feel like the R button will be important for this game

very common issue with the ds family yeah it's just gunk down there canned air and a hobby knife is how i usually fix it.

Fucking bomb shit I don't know.

My DSi has this, not sure what causes it. You can probably fix it by disassembling and cleaning. Or just get another 3DS, it's essential if you play Pokemon so you can trade with yourself anyway.

is that VBA?

But there's only lava in that room. I can't go down even if I blow up the floor.

OpenEmu

Thanks a lot, buds! I'll shoot some air and took a closer look at it. If all else fails, I could always consider investing in another one if the 3ds library keeps going.

>mac only

Wow that outfit is sexist and it objectifies woman. How did Nintendo get away with it?

It has all these in one program and it's comfy. I can't complain.
Having said that I feel the need to tell you to fuck off, P C u c k.

I love Samus.

Me too.

What does the amiibo unlock other than the hardest difficulty? if it's just the difficulty then I won't be bothered too much but if it adds more stuff I'm gonna kill a man since I'm a completionist, sure it's a bad move on nintendo's part but it the game still should be worth it no clue why people are assblasted about this whole story

See: Fusion skin, which I think is also tied to the hardest difficulty anyway? I think the typical art/music galleries are exclusive to the amiibos now too? As far I know, all Nintendo confirmed there's a different hard mode in the base game, not anything about being able to unlock any of the other stuff in the amiibo unlocks.

baka that's a massive jew move, but I still believe the game itself is good. consider the following: if you boycot the game and pirate it they will stop making metroid games altogether, they wouldn't stop doing the amiibo thing

Some art galleries and a sound test, nothing crucial. The Fusion mode is by far the most interesting thing it unlocks.

Amiibo coins. $2 bucks a piece. Look it up.

gg nintendo

I'll pirate it if a hack unlocking all the amiibo DLC is ever made.

>paying for an alternative when one is available for free

>if you boycot the game and pirate it they will stop making metroid games altogether, they wouldn't stop doing the amiibo thing
I always find this an unconvincing argument. You should never buy a game you don't think you'll like on the assumption they'll make another game you'll like more later. If anything, success would just encourage this behavior. If the amiibo shit turns someone off, they're not obligated to get it. I personally don't care too much, aside from whatever the Fusion mode will have, because in game art galleries and music modes don't interest me much in these days of everything being ripped to the internet on day one, if not earlier. Especially on a system as busted wide open as the 3DS. Calling it an "important" unlock is a bit ridiculous, but it is something you could just unlock normally in the past. Obviously something excised from the basic game to give the amiibos something partially worthwhile to do.

I was even getting the amiibos, the new ones anyway, before any of this shit came out because I like how they look. Still am. But I completely understand why this shit ticks people off and turns them away.

I pre-ordered it because it looks okay.

I've never actually played metroid. Other than Ever oasis it's the only game I'm remotely interested in till november (USM)

And how in the FUCK do I break this shit? Space is too small and doesn't give enough time to react. Also when I go morph ball mode I lose the speed boost.

Glad to hear that this game is appealing to newcomers to the series, too. I'd recommend you give Zero Mission and Super Metroid a try if you get the chance.

>its okay when metroid is shilled
Have a (You)

Speed Boost in room to right
Store charge
Open door
Morphball
Activate Shinespark

Not particularly. I love 2D Metroid but the melee counter seems like it's going to strip away a lot of the fun. I like Metroid 2 and loved AM2R so I'm definitely going to play it, but whether I purchase it or not depends on whether I liked my pirated run.

O shit do I need more power ups for that? This is my first Metroid game I have no idea what a Shinespark is.

That screen curvature would be disgusting on any emulator but why the fuck do you have it on a GBA game? The GBA had a flat, LCD screen.

>when one is available for free
Tell me more.
