    Two lore heavy Metroid videos coming soon. 1, The Origin Story of the Metroids. 2, The Metroid Manga EXPLAINED.
    If you could only have Prime games, or the 2D games, what would you choose?

      The Metroid manga is not canon. This video convinced the Spanish Metroid wiki to declare it as such: ruclips.net/video/M7_ojZUv-To/видео.html

      2D games are the best for me.
      I had given up on the series ever coming back to 2D when Dread was announced and only expected remakes or remasters of the older games... Dread ever being released was so awesome that I still can't believe it.

    A small detail about metroid fusion: apparently in the japanese version its clear that the group of scientists that were genetically engineering metroids was a small rogue faction and that fact was lost in the process of localization for the english versions, and this explains why in dread Samus isn't being pursued by the Galactic Federation at large

    Just recently played Metroid (NES) and Super Metroid (SNES). Then, very recently completed Dread (4 times and counting) and now Prime. Dread is my favorite by quite a bit because the controls are so great! The esthetic is cool too!

    My to tips (the same I got before playing the games back in the day)
    1: When not shooting keep that Arm Canon charging no matter what.
    2 (for Prime only): Beware of enemies above you.

    My #1 bit of advice with Dread. Learn how to sequence break and do early Gravity Suit.
    It turns the Purple EMMI from an exercise of frustration to something you can legitimately get away from.

    Just went thru fusion, zero mission, super.. in the middle of am2r.. but as soon as this video is over, I'm about to start prime. I've never played any of the first person metroids. I think I'm either going to love it or hate it. When I finish prime.. I'm moving to dread. I love this game.

      It is a remake of the first metroid, with an additional mini mission at the end. Largely considered a faithful and great remake by the community.

    Metroid Prime 1-3 is actually part of the whole series.
    Metroid 1, Metroid Prime 1-3, Metroid 2.
    The creator considers them equally Metroid as the 2D games.

  • @veapron2452

    First of all the prime trilogy is not considered a spinoff federation force was tho.
    Secondly The chronological order was wrong as well its Metroid/Metroid Zero Mission>Prime 1>Hunters>Prime 2>prime 3>federation force>super metroid>other m>fusion>dread
    Please we already have new metroid fans so do your research correctly and don't spread misinformation.

    • @zeltroid
      @zeltroid  Год назад +6

      Saying the Prime trilogy isn’t a “Spinoff” is simply arguing semantics. I said the Metroid Prime series is canon, which is what matters. Also, the order of the games I MENTIONED, is in the correct chronological order. Just because I didn’t talk about Hunters, Federation Force and Other M, doesn’t mean I was omitting them from the chronological canon. I was simply talking about Metroid 1-5 and the Prime trilogy. Maybe think it through next time before you comment, trying to sound like a know it all.
