I am enjoying it just fine.

So what's your favorite boss battle?

This is my first Metroid, but not my first metroidvania. I think it's a little repetitive at times and I don't like backtracking, but I love the satisfaction of gaining new abilities and hunting down all the Metroids. Enjoying it a lot.

I think it really excels in adding a lot Samus' character without any dialogue, like the Prime games.

About halfway through Area 3.
I don't know why we got Fusion style walljumps but can infinite bomb jump.
Along with seemingly random walls you can't wall jump off of (no, not the ones with yellow goo).
Also don't like how the pseudo screw attack doesn't damage enemies while they are charging at you.

Glad to hear it, user. Always love hearing about people getting into Metroid for the first time.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit, thanks for asking user.

Just beat the game 100% not too long ago. Fan-fucking-tastic game. 2d/10

It's ok. Not as bad as I expected it to be, but most of the flaws I expected are there. Would not pay full price for.

>don't like backtracking

that's exactly what makes a metroidvania what it is, you knucklehead. that's like saying you don't like this FPS because it's got all these guns. and if you think you hate it now, try the earlier games. they did a good job of streamlining it. you don't really miss anything anyhow.

I think you misunderstood. It's satisfying to use new abilities to find new paths and all, but the time it takes to get there can be annoying at times, since you won't always remember exactly where that one path you couldn't get past is.

I couldn't put it down, I kept telling myself explore just a little more
But i'm having trouble getting used to the controls

>Would not pay full price for.

Don't complain if there's never another 2D Metroid game.

TELL ME ABOUT SYLUX.

WHY DOES HE HATE THE FEDERATION?

There is a literal map pin system

what did you guys think of the Ridley boss fight? It came a bit out of the blue but was fucking awesome and I felt like having Samus' nemesis in the game makes sense.

That's a terrible argument and you know it.

It's good enough, hopefully it sells enough to earn the first party treatment at some point.

Just got the Varia Suit. Only complaints so far are walljumps being meh, enemy variety is lacking(at this point), and I miss 2D sprites. Other than that I'm loving it.

They banned tendies.

Well what do you know, there is. Guess that solves that problem, thanks.

Question:

Did anyone else have trouble getting to that metroid towards the beginning of the game where you have to freeze those things that shoot from the ground and then blow up a block using a missile and then turn into a morph ball and bomb and then spider rail the surface?

Like was i doing something wrong cuz it took me like 20 minutes and 30+ attempts.

>He

To be fair the backtracking in this game is probably the most boring and pointless in the series.

probably took resources from his planet but failed to protect it during some kind of attack

Played all the way to the start of area 4 on Friday, took a break on Saturday from it and had to see relatives all day today. Gonna pick it back up again tomorrow.

Considering beating fusion twice this year so I can see SR388 blow up after I kill everything on it in SR.

>only metroid with warp stuff


what do you even mean

His suit is probably based on attempts to copy Samus' Power Armor. I bet it was really shitty to be Sylux during the development and research process and that now he can't ever remove it or it causes him immense pain or some other edgy shit. He hates Samus because he's a place to focus his psychotic rage, being that he used to be a loyal GF citizen/soldier in his past. So instead of going full bore super villain against the GF, he's going after Samus.

you guys overhyped the final boss. it wasn't necessarily easy, but it was kinda basic and uninteresting. you just mash as fucking fast as possible since he's a bullet sponge. the digger fight and omega metroids were more interesting, IMO

has

gonna have to disagree. it's nice enemies actually put up a fight for once, compared to other games where they're too complacent and little more than just obstacles to trip over.

>pointless

that doesn't even mean anything. you should articulate what you mean better.

just beat the third Metroid version for the first time, I got killed a ton until I realized you could grapple it. the game has been really fun so far

Try Zero Mission and Super next. If you like those, try the Prime series.

Yeah, but since the game is so linear, you couldn't explore old areas when you naturally got back to it. Because of this I just saved all the backtracking till the end so I didn't have to make several trips.

Didn't take me 20 minutes, but yeah it took me a few tries.

Ah fair enough, I see what you mean I suppose

I'm maybe an hour in and I already hate the charging enemies and melee mechanic. Joypad control is terrible on top of that. I think I'd be having a lot more fun if those were fixed.

Where is the Metroid amiibo bin file?

I don't want to buy the shitty toys

>b-but squishy!

Seriously though, they're really nice. As a Metroid fan, the Metroid one specifically is fucking great to have.

yeah just little things like that bit at the end of the digger fight where she shoots his eye without looking at him

also some of the acrobatic shit in the metroid fight parries make her seem a lot more brutal, not the little pussy they made her out to be in other m

Kinda expanded what I meant here It just feels like a chore when you literally have to teleport back to an old area in a linear game, instead of it being a little bit out of the way on your way to the next area.

Tell me about Weavel then, is he a Zebesian or a Kihunter?

You can grapple the Zeta Metroids?
Dang I was waiting for it to come down and do the one attack that I could counter and then super missile it

I would probably have bought them but Nintendo retarded decision to lock a difficult mode behind those toys is inexcusable

Just now got the varia suit, enjoying the game quite a bit so far. Only gripe is that there doesn't appear to be huge hidden upgrades in the previous floors at all, just missile/energy tanks

It's also a tad on the easy side at the moment, but I'm pretty early in and that could change.

The pains they went to to prevent sequence breaking are astonishing. Just imagine if they'd spent that effort designing the game well.

Old 3DS user here. Anyone else getting noticeable framerate drops?

It already happened with TPHD. You can only activate the utmost difficulty by scanning a Ganondorf while playing Hero Mode.

What we need is for them to sell amiibo cards in packs for those who only want the DLC.

>All those fags that didn't notice Sylux is a girl

Biggest complaints would have to be the music being bland, besides norfair and brinstar depths themes (two songs that just seemed like blatant fanservice), and the areas in general being bland, and pretty much indistinguishable from each other.

Just finished my first run at 100%. Exploring the planet with the baby metroid was maximum comfy, 10/10 game. Excellent final boss fights and the chozo memories are spooky. A year ago and I'd have told you Metroid was dead and Nintendo didn't give a shit, but this game is a labor of love.

Only got them when there were WAY too many shit at the screen, really rarely

You're fucking retarded. We have word of god type info from Hunters that uses male pronouns.

Weavel has a ponytail. Assuming it isn't based on envy of species that sport hair, he might actually be a Space Pirate of a different species, though I don't know we have seen any non-reptilian or non-insectoid Space Pirate so I can't be sure.

If Zero Mission is remade, I wonder if they would go as far as to add a boss battle with a Zebesian/Ki-Hunter wearing a wig

I don't understand why they don't do this

You unlock hard mode by beating the game.

I am not a girl.

Weavel is like 95% machine, the ponytail is probably just a plume, like a knight's.

when they shine red you can pull them down,just don't stand right under them or you'll get hurt from its fall

this digger boss, is one of the worst bosses I've ever played

I always took Weavel for being one of the kung fu pirates

I only hate that the Amiibo are required for hard mode and I can't find them anywhere within 50 miles of the city.

Fusion mode is harder

Pirates modify their biology regularly. We can't know where he's from except by listing Pirate bases we know Samus ransacked before Hunters took place.

Because they're happy with the "chase" mentality they've instilled in a large part of their fanbase. They probably think these cards would halve Amiibo sales. Which might not even be untrue.

What purpose does that serve.

It's cool.

>the animation for collecting metroid DNA
I swear she's basically fist pumping. Samus is a professional, but she clearly enjoys her job. She wouldn't be doing all those ridiculous acrobatics otherwise.

To make him feel like less of a robotic abomination? It's actually somewhat of a trope for cyborgs with massive amounts of body replacement to have fake hair or something to keep themselves sane and feeling "human" or whatever else.

This. I wouldn't be surprised if Weavel specifically requested a plume.

They could release the cards some months after the amiibo

But Nintendo is too retarded for this

Anyway, I'm glad I can create my own amiibos, I only need that damn. bin file

>in the series

have you never played any of the prime games? the backtracking in this game is only bad if you want 100% completion and even then its not bad since they were pretty generous with warps. and you never need to go back to previous areas in the game unless you want to go back and get missed expansions

I beat the game last night (time: 8:04) and went back and got 100% on my file and beat the final boss again for good measure earlier tonight (total time: 11:51).

Help me decide what I should do next, Sup Forums:

>start another file on normal going for a speed run to get the best ending
>start a file on hard and go through the game normally again

Do a speed run on hard, obviously.

>They could release the cards some months after the amiibo
Well maybe they'll start doing that eventually. They might start with the Smash series and eventually give other IPs the same treatment.

This. I'm a masochist and doing a Fusion speedrun. 4x damage... I'm going to change my opinion on Diggernaut real fucking fast

holy shit I just died again. This is not even hard, it makes you repeat the same patterns over and over again slowly until you get to the next phase, and when you do the solution is either not obvious or broken and then when you die you have to do the whole thing over again.

Samus is fat! FAT!

Reminder

Metroid isn't though, and he's who we care about.

dude, spoiler that shit or delete it, some people still haven't finished.

Quite a lot actually, just with the map areas had name so I could tell you more than "I just reach the area with a singular Metroid cell required after the one that needed a full circle"

Fucking Ridley is in the game?!

...

But I loved Other M

Seems about right.

You are a hot flat-chested girl and you are going to like it

>Fed Force and Hunters worse than the original Metroid and Metroid 2

Begone, son of Dob

Spoiler that shit man.

I love armpits too

He is Adam

no

Having played every Metroid, I think this is the best one so far. Just reached the sandy area, and have all abilities except Power Bomb.

Yes but i understood two things thanks to some anons:
-Frozing by charging your beam makes enemies frozen for a while.
-you can do it easily by reshooting the enemy with the 360 L shooting when you're already on it, it's easier than shooting down while jumping because of the shitty 3DS stick

TOO DAMN ACCURATE

cant wait for
>PRIME 4 = BOTW

n-no I'm not...

No you didn't

style

Metroid II is my favorite metroid so im actually cumming every second I play this
