Metroid was done better by Nintendo 27 years ago than by a fan or Nintendo last year.

How sad.

How sad.

To be fair Samus Returns was made by a bunch of spanish cunts whose only claim to fame is making some terrible Castlevania games. It's not like it was in-house Nintendo.

I mean obviously it should still be better than a fan game due to being made by a proper dev studio with funding and support from Nintendo. But given the spanish company behind it I'm not surprised that it's shit.

Sad!

OHNONONONON AHAHAHAHAHA

Metroid done was better fan than a by an Nintendo actual sad game!

That's almost expected when you consider AM2R was in development for almost as long as FFXV.

Metroid: Samus Returns was a collaboration between Nintendo EPD and MercurySteam. Sakamoto likes his 2D games to stay Metroid so he only collaborates not outsource.

Return of Samus tries so incredibly hard to make Metroid into an action game. Any gameplay element adds either minimizing the exploration or is combat related like the aiming. Even the whole ending is turned into yet another combat gauntlet complete with an added extra boss at the end. And the baby Metroid is just turned into a power up. It doesn't give a single solitary shit about what the original Metroid 2 did; there's no room for atmosphere, claustrophobia, storytelling, horror, or subtly. Only more action... for a remake of a story that's technically about genocide.
Meanwhile AM2R just saw something that wasn't like Super Metroid or Zero Mission and had to assimilate it. Like if they just both their own separate 2D Metroids I'd be all over them and happy. But they're not; they're both attempts to "fix" a game that was already great as is.
And I think it bugs me a lot because Metroid 2 was one of my first games period, the first game to ever scare me, and the my first Metroid game. Like 2 and Fusion are my favorites and the model of what Metroid is to me.

Oh, well that's a bit more worrying. Between Other M and this game I don't think Sakamoto should be allowed to touch Metroid anymore. He fucked up taking it in a new direction spectacularly, and did a pretty fucking bad job of returning it to its roots. Hearing him talk in interviews it's almost questionable if he ever understood the series appeal and best qualities.

REALLY MAKES YOU THINK

>horror
fuck off

No

After Samus Returns, I can't wait for Sakamoto and his EPD team to work alongside MercurySteam again for Metroid 5 so you can go fuck yourself.

You might be even stupider than OP.

horror is a fundamental element of the Metroid franchise. We're literally talking about some inspired by and with references to Alien. Ignoring horror means missing part of the point of Metroid.

this is the worse post I've read all day
Metroid 2 is a horror game, just go look at the tracks, and even though it was a technical limitation at the time, the small view distance made the game tense
Once you get into some of the deepest parts of the planet, the music just stops and that's one chilling moment in the game none of the remakes have managed to recapture

I didn't even know about this, since I never got killed.
How about you stop sucking ass?

spanish cucks whose claim to fame is making awful cinematic games, so they have to cram their cinematic bullshit in a 2D game of all things

Kill yourself.

>HURR DURR NO YOU, GIT GUD
I didn't die, I've been pointing out how they dumbed down the game since they showed footage at the treehouse event at E3, nice non-argument though

>muh horror
Get shot, mother fucker

I mean any Metroid game between Super and SR could have that feature for what I know, since it's impossible to die in these games. So why does it matter?

samefag

This desu

>this is the worse post I've read all day
No, this post is.

Both were shitty remakes of a shitty game.

How the fuck does free aiming and added combat mechanics minimizes exploration? it's like saying that by adding a new type in Pokemon discourages you to beat all the gym leaders.

Well if it's been a horror series this whole time it's sure done a shit job of it.

I kinda feel the same way about this. I mean, there are some creepy moments at some points in the games but I don't think that's what the devs where trying to emphasize on that aspect. Real horror games are far more deliberate and blatant when making a horror game say like: Eternal Darkness, Amnesia etc.

>still seething after so many months
Beautiful.
Samus Returns is such a good game.
Already finished it several time but I'm still missing Fusion mode.

What if I like both?

I didn't have a chance to play AM2R. What do I have to do?

NO NO NO NO NONO ON YOU HAVE TO HATE IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HATE IT PLEASE PLEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEE

Then you have a higher IQ than any people in this thread that take sides in order to diminish the opinion of others and to feel validated themselves.

>subtly
Metroid 2 is an action-adventure game. Stop romanticizing the limitations with stupid nostalgia wanking.

The biggest problems I have with Samus Returns is the clunky controls. If they removed the "AIM ANYWHERE!" mechanic that I'm fumbling with in conjuction with the missle firing and put the controls back to the dpad, it would be a nice and solid Metroid experience. Also not digging the whappy arm mechanic, since it just highlights the aim anywhere mechanic on top of slowing down the pace of the game, and ends up being another button I hit that I don't intend to at times.

Now that it works on Citra, I've been giving it a go, but Metroid games have usually had solid controls in the past, while having this one being tied to a control stick for 2D action just feels so wrong.

look in the archives for the last link or ask on /wsr/ for someone to upload their game for you, I still have it installed but I'm too lazy to share

AM2R is honestly trash.

Metroid 2 > M:SR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Brain cancer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AM2R

Science fiction is filled with tense moments. That doesn’t make it a horror game in the slightest

They're both good games with their own merits and flaws. Personally, I can't choose a clear winner between them, and I'll probably be playing through them both every year like I already do with Super and ZM.

I was quite fond of the AM2R soundtrack Samus Returns was a disappointment in that regard.

i don't care much for samus returns but i am just so fucking glad the other m chapter of the metroid franchise is FINALLY past us. we'll get SR Varia Suit in Smash and a new stage with no more OM shit and thank fucking christ for that.

Fuck off cunts SR was fucking great

Care to explain?

At least it was still better than decades of shitty haloid games by that talentless hack studio Retro.

why are the NINTENDRONES seething? You can tell how fucking bad the same faggotry is in this thread

This, can't wait for these guys to work on Metroid: Dread for the Switch.

>atmosphere, claustrophobia, storytelling, horror, or subtly. Only more action... for a remake of a story that's technically about genocide.

Shut the fuck up Mark Brown/Gaming Brit/homeless schizophrenic woman

>actually liking something
shiggy

indecisiveness is just virtue signalling. If you don't have a clear preference in anything you're lying. It's that fucking simple. Either lying or stupid.

you should "virtue signal" that tight boyhole on my cock you fucking faggot

*tips*

All three versions of Metroid II are great in their own individual ways and they shouldn't have to compete with one another.

Why don't you you just appreciate both games for what they are instead of siding with one game like a cuckboi. I played both games and I enjoyed both games. If you haven't even played both games you really have no say which is better because people who care about the series will appreciate both the fan game and the remake.

>user admits to liking both
>indecisiveness
Sounds to me like he's pretty decided in how he feels.

>reading comprehension
Come now. If you don't have a clear preference. You're lying just because you want to virtue signal. It's that simple.

Why can't we just talk about Metroid in peace? Is that so hard to ask?

>Being a fence sitting faggot
I bet you call yourself a centrist too.

I want these fedoras out of this thread

I'm not sure what the insult is even anymore. This is by no means your safe-space.

It means pseudo-intellectual. People who are "enlightened by their own intelligence"

So really intelligent people aren't enlightened by their own intelligence?

I'm not sure what that even means. But being elitist about something is by no means an insult.

>It's that simple
Reddit is two blocks down.
An armchair psychologist such as yourself should fit right in.

I have no desire to fit in. I like my individuality.

Then Reddit would be much more your speed. Here on Sup Forums™ you are expected eschew the shackles of an individual username and have an opinion that fits with the rest of us, much like a puzzle piece that fits snugly into its predetermined spot

>you are expected eschew the shackles of an individual username and have an opinion that fits with the rest of us
Not him but that's retarded.

because nintendo dont give a fuck about its older fanbase that made them the money they have in the first place.

It's completely true. I dare you to prove otherwise. Anyone with a username is screamed at and shat on. Anyone with a non-conforming opinion is screamed at and shat on

On Sup Forums you have to conform to the non-conforming opinion

>expected
I've been doing fine just without.

Shut up fag

This is literally >>Reddit 2.0, only difference is that you don't get downvoted to hell and back.

Funny how fans make better games then the companys.
Same shit happened with Sonic Mania, the best selling sonic game in 15 years.

Again: not your safespace.

yeah probably because the original creators get complacent off their success like said
and end up forgetting the meaning of their original work. Sad this is true no matter the medium of entertainment

What are you talking about?

SR was a natural evolution of Metroid combat in 2D. Having to angle shots 45 degrees up or down isn't difficult.

>metroid has been dead since super and nothing can revive it.
the stupidity of people on this board will never cease to amaze me

Not really, Samus Returns was a lot more fun than AM2R. I played both.

Be careful this place is /reddit/ 2.0 so if you don't agree with everyone and have the same opinion people will attack you.

>Attack
Defend
Item
Run

Proof that this is the best timeline

Anything past super is either boring, a slow FPS, or just bad. Don't act like things got better.

>blah balh new game bad
I quite liked Samus Returns. Don't bother with fangames, so I can't speak to AM2R. But why not make your own game instead of just 'remaking' someone elses?

the original metroid 2 is complete shit and is the worst game in the series

>Metroid: Other M, mother fucker

AM2R was shit. Bad controls and gameplay made it garbage. Original Metroid 2 was far and away better.

Still better than any Metroid game made after Super, though. Still can't understand how people actually enjoyed a pain in the ass console FPSlike shooter disguised as a Metroid game (Prime).
