It's the little things

The little details are like the cherries ontop of a sundae. Gotta love em.

shit that's pretty neat
anyone else find stuff like that?

How long do we think it'll be till the next 2D Metroid?

I do like how nonchalant Samus' pose is when she shoots Diggernaut. They could have just made her strike some badass pose to finish it off but they went for more of a "I don't care anymore" thing that just has more charm to it
Hopefully soon assuming 2D/11 is more of a tease for a Metroid 5 instead of Prime 4

Is the art in OP overdesigned? There is no room for imagination.

Freaking Nintendo

BADASS

Visor gives her the angry eyes. >:(

Shit, probably should have put badass in quotes that's what I was going for

I'd say it's good just because it's a lot more than I was expecting from Nintendo

>"I don't know the context" - the post

Well sure I do it's that BADASS part

You make an excellent point actually. I looked at the battle completely differently when it first came out. I felt it was too edgy. But you're right, she doesn't have a snarky one liner, or try and act badass like she's out of a Randy Pitchford game. It feels somewhat subdued, which is good, especially since at this point in the timeline she's had about enough of gigantic robots trying to violently murder her.

>limp offhand swaying from the recoil
This scene gets better every time I watch it

just got done 100% SR, best metroid game since prime 2. Worth the wait

I don't get the reference

If you're referring to the badass part, it's become a sort of meme for games to try and be "epic" and "hardcore" and "badass" by having characters try too hard to look cool when they do something. Randy Pitchford is guilty of this quite a bit.

>having characters try too hard to look cool when they do something
But she doesn't in that scene? It's after the most bullshit bossfight in metroid history and seeing Samus deliver the "I'm sick of this shit" blow is satisfying as hell.
Like said, you need to know the context before using buzz words

>But she doesn't in that scene?
That's why I said "when it first came out". Obviously I've had a change of heart since then now that I know the context and I take a look at all the smaller details.

I didn't know the second one
Gotta try that out.

Also, the spazer beam is so dang fun.

Just wait until you get the plasma beam on top of that.
Casually blasting minor armored enemies with your beam instead of counter/missiles is nice and satisfying.
