25:00 X parasites are known as the universe's deadliest creatures, killing the host by infecting it, using its DNA to mimicking the host. Yep, that is truly the beginning of Metroid Fusion.
And the beginning of Fusion. Samus remarks that she owes the baby Metroid her life for saving her on multiple occasions, most recently via the vaccine made from its DNA to kill the X in her body.

But that begs the question why he didn't just do that in SR.
Also, if you stun the Metroid Queen and stand close to it, while it's regaining itself, it'll attack which you can counter, allowing you to grapple hook its mouth and pull it down so you could morph ball into its mouth, down the throat into its belly, and put a few bombs or power bombs in there :)
simple answer. He isn't really dead but severely wounded. How else do you explain that samus is able to drive him off with just a basic power beam at the start of the game. And then has the rest of Metroid 3 to regenerate.
Levobertus ikr. Even though it clearly states that Ridley is created! People don't read in metroid games. That's the problem. I hate it when people think Samus just goes around planets to destroy it.
Yes, and No. It's all down to interpretation, however Yoshio Sakamoto passive aggressive states that it isn't cannon in Metroid Other M, he had no involvement in the whole Prime series . It was more of thing of bring 2d games into a 3d expectative in N64 era,(I am guessing you already know the rest). Seen the Metroid Prime was successful, Shigeru Miyamoto stated to it be sub-cannon. There is a lot of loop-holes in Metroid manga to be honest.
This is basically correct. They're like soft canon. Not like it matters since literally nothing that happens in Prime affects 2D at all. They just shoved it in the least problematic spot. Ridleys armor could be from Prime, but it could just as easily be from his bout in Zero Mission.
not quite, Samus was inpired by Kim Bassinger and "Ridley" by, well Scott Ridley name and the xenomorphs shape (thats pretty obvious), the metroids from the words Metro (subway) and Android, they have no resemblance to the xenomorphs but the egg hatching maybe, the rest forms are kinda dinosaurs. At first Samus was meant to be some kind of robot/Male character but in the end they decided to go with a female character because Ripley was a badass. But hey what NES game was not inspired on an 80s american movie?
i dont know how the makers of metroid are doing this but in every metroid game they manage that every bossfight makes you terrified and let you feel helpless

That would be completely idiotic and would make the Metroid fan base furious. They should listen to the fan base and give them what they want so they don't risk losing profit.
Gotta say, love how the Metroid phases are legitimate challenges in this versions; I've seen the footage for the older version, and they seemed to be total pushovers in the original; in this one, they've actually become threatening, which is how phases like the Gamma, Zeta and Omega should be. Proteus Ridley being a surprise fight was a nice touch as well, seeing as how he was missing from the original (for obvious reasons); and the end cutscene with the X Parasite - possible Fusion remake? It would make more sense since probably only hardcore fans of this generation will know what it is.
Geek Critique would disagree , the original Gamer Boy game's better than it lets on sure it looks ancient , but playing in the right mood with a appropriate color pallet will do the original service
That’s fucking awful. Ridley is just a top Space Pirate and elite henchman of Mother Brain, not some cataclysmic galaxy reckoning force. Shoehorning him in this game totally disrespected Queen Metroid and screwed with the meaningful ending of Metroid II as you ponder your new companion after the brutality of your genocidal mission.
@@omegamanGXE you do know that he's: 1. The leader of the space pirates, not a top rank pirate 2. He's also known as the cunning God of Death 3. He's the responsible for the death of Samus's parents I'm pretty sure he's more than deserving of the final boss rank
One great thing about this game is that you actually have to strategize in order to beat most of the boss battles. You are forced to learn the attack patterns of the bosses and how to dodge them.
Ridley's like "You win this time, bounty hunter! But I will be back for that Metroid hatchling! In the next game!" Also, with the Metroids gone, the X Parasites can now multiply & 1 day infect Samus, ultimately creating... Samus Aran X or SA-X.
Not really as you can still download AM2R today. All they did was stop the original creator from continuing to work on it. They can't take down all of the backups uploaded to the internet.
Bosses from easiest to hardest (from a first time player perspective): Alpha Metroid 1/10 (predictable attacks and you can kill it very fast if you counter) Arachnus 3/10 (most attacks are obvious though the bouncing does take a bit to get used to) Gamma Metroid 4/10 (mostly predictable like the Alpha, but it can screw you over if you position it wrong without the high jump) Zeta Metroid 4.5/10 (it is tricky to get him down when he's low health, but just time it right and you are good) Omega Metroid 5/10 (this guy takes a lot of abuse and he can easily take you from full to zero even on normal if you aren't careful, but the attacks aren't so hard to avoid) Ridley 7/10 (this is a long boss fight with some attacks that are somewhat difficult to dodge) Queen Metroid 8/10 (this is also a long boss fight and some attacks require tricks the game doesn't teach you to avoid) Diggernaut 10/10 (just like the last two, this fight is long, but it adds a cryptic weak point to the equation as well as the most damaging attack in the game if you screw that up) Diggernaut is mainly there because of cryptic design with the suction ability. He would tie with Ridley if the game made it clear to use the spider ball and just make him suck up bombs in the last phase. Also once you know his attack pattern, Diggernaut becomes significantly easier, but he's still no cakewalk at all.
Am I the only one who wants a new game now rather than another remake? Seriously Fusion is only 15 years old why do people want a remake? What's there to remake? This game is solid but I want a brand new 2D game now
I just love the way Samus notices the Robot getting up and just charges her beam finishing it off without even looking. Like she’s had enough of its shit already.
one its just a easter egg and theres no need to remake super and the only reason to remake fusion is because the garbage tier music of the gameboy advanced
@@presidentobama2181 Do not confuse the user of Power Bombs here with their use against the Queen in AM2R. Basically, after you melee counter the Queen, you can use the Grapple Beam to bring her head down, then go into morph ball, go inside (you will take damage without Lightning Armor active), and place a power bomb - doing so does massive damage, and gets you spat back out
Hot tip: Charged ice beam shots freeze the cores of Alpha and Gamma Metroids, preventing them from charging themselves up with energy; Gammas also immediately fall to the ground when iced over.
Ridley always die. But he will always return as long as the space pirates live. Ridley is created by space pirates over and over again. You can scan pirate data in metroid prime 1. The pirates say that Samus kept on destroying Ridley. So they made him have tougher armor, which is where meta ridley comes in.
NostalgicGamer 56723 first its cybernetic armor, then armor repairs, then phazon healing, then an escape, then I'm not sure how he survives samus returns, then hes cloned, then hes cloned by the x.
The robot boss looked to be the most fun, but they're all lacking compared to AM2R bosses. However, the Ridley boss surprised me: I didn't expect it, nice idea. And as expected, the 3D element allows for more depth (figuratively and literally) and character. The ending though of the X Parasite was a very nice touch. I still prefer AM2R, but Samus Returns is still a winner. We all win.
My opinion on which game did the bosses better (Alpha) Samus Returns (Gamma) AM2R (Arachnus) AM2R (Zeta) Samus Returns (Omega) AM2R (Queen)...... um tie I definitely prefer the atmosphere the Queen fight had in AM2R, along with its boss theme. I also prefer how that boss had multiple rooms and focused more on its neck attacks rather than the projectiles. However, I was disappointed that Samus was no longer able to use the bomb trick to defeat the queen. Sure one can do it during the final phase but it's mandatory instead of being an option. As for the Samus Returns queeen Metroid fight, It definitely had a lot of cool new intricate attacks. This does help bring a greater challenge. It was also nice to see one can still use the bomb trick in a new way. While the projectiles on the Queen are cool I felt the boss fight lost the feeling of dodging the Queen's rapid neck attacks. So between the two Queens, I can't decide.
I was only counting bosses that were in both Samus returns & AM2R Although The Diggernaut & the Tester do seem very similar The Diggernaut gameranx.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Screenshot-2017-09-20-14.18.21.png The Tester media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAtzAAAAJDg4NzAzYjFhLTIyNTgtNDg5Mi1iNjI1LTJiZmUwNDM5ZDVlNA.png
It's great that we'll get to see a Fusion remake and all. (Metroid Fusion being one of my favorites) But they're gonna need to make do another remake of Super Metroid first. (Zero Mission being the first extended remake) Either that, or do some quick back story coverage in the beginning of the Fusion remake.
Wait, scratch that. My bad, I forgot that Zero Mission is a remake of the original Metroid. But, like I said, a remake of Super Metroid still needs to be done.
I liked this game very much. I beat it on Fusion difficulty and it was rewarding. I had got Metroid Fusion for the GBA in the early 2000’s. It was the first game I got. This was a super cool and fun port.
Seriously you want a remake from an remake ? Zero mission is already the remake of the first Metroid game and is very well done. The next remakes should be Super Metroid then Fusion. But Fusion Is perfect how it is originally, sometimes remakes sucks compared to original.
Diggernaught's theme is a remix of Berserker Lord from Corruption...Berserker Lord's theme is a remix of Arachnus X from Fusion...Arachnus of course first appeared in the original Return of Samus...
No...Yakuza is the spider boss in Fusion....Arachnus is the first boss in Fusion, kinda looks like an Armadillo that rolls into a ball...Arachnus is the only non-Metroid boss in the original Metroid II...
24:58 Oh, so it looks like this Metroid game isn't the one getting an epic remake. Between this game, the tease given to us at the end, and the fact that Metroid Prime 4 is a thing; Samus has truly returned. Wait, I just realized something. If the Tease is accurate, and we are getting that game remade; Oh no. If a Metroid Fusion Remake is happening, If Nintendo is bringing back the X Parasites, IF THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING; Not only are we going to return to the Horror filled BSL Station, but we are also going to see a 3D version of the SA-X. Let that sink in. The monster who is recognizable by its FOOTSTEPS, The monster who STILL haunts the memories of gamers worldwide, The monster who might be the only thing scarier than Dark Samus; RETURNING AS A 3D MODLE!!! I never knew that hype and horror could work so well together like this. If I had half a mind, I'd bet money that Fawful's Minion is going to need 2 changes of pants after hearing about this.
That's going to be the most hype thing, seeing if they can translate the SA-X faithfully into 3D. Assuming they use the melee counter mechanic in a Fusion remake, that boss fight at the end of the game is gonna be lit.
Ikr, i feel your comment, you're a proper Metroid fan. SA-X is definitely not sex-y (ok sorry) but yes, those scenes were horrible, can't imagine it in full HD 3D lol
As she stared down the newly hatched Metroid, a startling realization came to her mind: she wiped out its home much like the space pirates did to her home. Also that they are kinda adorable when they aren't trying to kill you.
Two things it really makes you wonder if there’s going to be any more good Metroid games like this it makes you wonder where the story goes in can we also talk about how Ripley literally comes out of nowhere
And still no love for Kraid. The developers had a cool character model for Prime and Nintendo said he wasn't imperative to the story, so he was left out. He was in the storyboard for Prime 3 and was left out. Why Nintendo. Why no love for Kraid. I always like him more than Ridley. The Brimstar music is awesome as well.
Man, agreed. I love Ridley, but I always loved Kraid a little more because he was so massive and imposing. Plus, you have so much potential to make some truly epic boss battles with Kraid. And isn't he a high-ranking Space Pirate, too? There's no excuse, Nintendo!
hell no i prefer 3d graphics even if its a 2d game, why would anyone prefer sprite graphics is beyond me specialy if they make fusion or super metroid remake on the switch .
Lighting Rakurai, Yah! That makes the game a lot more realistic since you fight him in super metroid! Normaly ridley would explode and than come back to life in the next game some how.
During the mining machine boss, if you use the spider ball it makes you immune to it's vacuum attack. This lets you just cost along with the suction and feed it a steady stream of bombs without heaving to de-morph and jump over it. Plus it's safer.
alien with a jelly-water-blob alien that is also a spider smol crocomire with 2 eyes adolescent ridley metroid form with jelly-water-blob mother brain (second phase) clone megaman x mini-boss your mom ridley scott
BIG tip,when going up against the giant robot,when its doing its vacuum thing,you can use spider ball and keep dropping bombs and the robot will never be able to suck you in,also in the battle with the metroid queen,when you shoot her enough with Supers and she looks like she's just roaring ,she is not,if you stand close to her mouth you parry her bite attack,that way you can grapple her mouth and knock her to the ground where you morph and go inside her and drop a Power Bomb,you gotta do it at least 3 times to kill her off,also when she 's blowing her fire thing to the wall you can use Spider Ball to prevent from going into the wall with the flames.hope that helps to some players.

Yep, that is truly the beginning of Metroid Fusion.
VJ: IT'S TIME TO KICK IT! I cant wait to see what they will do with the SA-X, that was by far the scariest thing in metroid in my opinion
That Nintendo is acknowledging Metroid Fusion in this ending has me really hoping for a Metroid 5, a Fusion sequel.
Screw the flood. THIS thing is terrifying
the real kicker is the metroids Samus killed were creatures designed by the chozo to hunt on the X keeping their numbers down.
the sheer thought of fighting one in full 3D,, having to run away from it , srambling to find that hidden exit and all in a closed space,,,, yikkes
This makes the ending of Super Metroid even more emotional
And the beginning of Fusion. Samus remarks that she owes the baby Metroid her life for saving her on multiple occasions, most recently via the vaccine made from its DNA to kill the X in her body.
The game also shows that by eliminating all the Metroids on SR388, Samus inadvertently allowed the dreaded X Parasites to resurface.

That explains why you are attempting to copy me (though I admire you trying to imitate me, I know you want to try and be me so badly, sorry, there's only one of me). I'm sorry you hate Super Metroid so much for the same reason, it's actually a really solid game, a bit sad that you can't enjoy it just because you can't be bothered to think even a little bit and that using even a fraction of your brain is so hard. It's barely even a retcon, and actually quite a good one. It's a shame you lack the proper brain capacity to understand it though, but not surprising considering you are incapable of even basic understanding. SR is great, and so is AM2R. You msut also hate AM2R as that "retcons" a few details also and requires you to think a little bit which you have shown you are unable to do. Happy I can enjoy both. 😃😃😃😃
You spent 2 weeks to respond just to You really should have stayed in school, the fact that you not only can't read properly but lack basic comprehension skills is a little worrying. Trust me, it will greatly benefit you in the long run.
Wow, I didn't think there was a way to make me love Metroids even more. That new Zeta looks so sick.
METROID FUSION REMAAAAAAAKE
SuperAlphamale13 after a Super Metroid remake. They gotta follow the plot the way it was meant to be.
idk they may just be remastering all the ones that came out on gameboy first
That would be completely idiotic and would make the Metroid fan base furious. They should listen to the fan base and give them what they want so they don't risk losing profit.
TheInsaneBeaker
NO. Super Metroid does not need a remake. It's perfect as is.
emperor finally someone who gets it
All of these bosses feel fresh and amazing to fight. It rewards a smart player and they're all fun and challenging.
This game was epic. Had fun fighting all the bosses and back tracking to get 100%. Bravo Nintendo, bringing me back to my NES/SNES days :,)
i love how cinematic this game is especially during the Ridley fight. I also love how badass Samus is in the game.
Gotta say, love how the Metroid phases are legitimate challenges in this versions; I've seen the footage for the older version, and they seemed to be total pushovers in the original; in this one, they've actually become threatening, which is how phases like the Gamma, Zeta and Omega should be.
Proteus Ridley being a surprise fight was a nice touch as well, seeing as how he was missing from the original (for obvious reasons); and the end cutscene with the X Parasite - possible Fusion remake? It would make more sense since probably only hardcore fans of this generation will know what it is.
And that fusion remake happened to be Dread
@@NirOwO677 not even close bud, dread is a sequel
Ridley's appearance was a complete surprise.
completely unneeded
fan service. Let it pass, people have been clamoring for a good Metroid game and we finally got it
Alexander Brouwers Ridley make my ear bleed on zero mission :C
It's not a surprise at all. It's predictable at this point.
Ridley's appearance was necessary. It pieced together Corruption's Omega Ridley and Super's organic Ridley.
14:16
I'm not going to die so easily
Smaus: *she immediately shoots it*
Shut up please
O noticed a typo (Smaus).
Smaus
Smaus
14:17 - 14:23 is absolutely amazing
All the better after the bullshit the boss in question put me through.
She's like, "sit the fuck down"
That's the "We're sorry for Other M" shot.
Those are just cinematics that everyone goofed up; she's actually the strongest (fastest) version in Other M # dontmess
@@netweed09 not she the strongest at the end of prime 3
You're supposed to use the Spider Ball to keep yourself from being blown away by the Queen. I didn't figure this out immediately either though.
The queen is the one at 16:43 right?
I figured it out as soon as I saw the attack
AWWW THE HATCHLING IS SO CUUUUUTE!
A Fusion remake would honestly be the best thing that ever came to this world.
Well....how about a Fusion sequel?
Nice that they used the Metroid Prime jingles, A hint at what's to come.
i expected to see a ton of complains saying the original is better or something ....i'm surprised honestly
Nelson tata 0000 the original hadn't aged well at all. People WANTED a remake.
Nelson tata 0000 The original Metroid 2 was considered to be one of the worst Metroid games in the entire Metroid franchise.
Michael Jennings Other M disagrees with you.
O
Geek Critique would disagree , the original Gamer Boy game's better than it lets on
sure it looks ancient , but playing in the right mood with a appropriate color pallet will do the original service
Alright but I do appreciate the fact you kept the ending cutscenes, really nice, thanks
love how Ridley was recovering from prime for.
The thumbnail is a spoiler...but then again this is a remake... so does that really make it a spoiler? The world may never know
well it will be a spoiler for people that didn't know anything about the game
Well, not really its not the final boss anymore
raging raptor yeah, more like the penultimate boss.
Spoiler alert:
The Metroid Queen *_I S N ' T_* the final boss!
hes actually spoling a false final bods
Now time travel back to 1991 and go "hey guys watch me play Metroid 2 haha" and observe their minds suddenly collapse
Ridley survived Samus attacking him at the same time a Metroid was draining him (albeit an infant Metroid). Cunning Master of Death indeed
*Cunning god of death
Yes, I am
The thing just came out and you finished battling all the bosses, ALREADY? wow..
Lactyl ' right?
I've beaten the game twice. Once on hard mode, in just under 4 hours
Metroid games can be fast or slow
A Metroid game where the final boss is...... *RIDLEY?!!?!*
That’s fucking awful. Ridley is just a top Space Pirate and elite henchman of Mother Brain, not some cataclysmic galaxy reckoning force. Shoehorning him in this game totally disrespected Queen Metroid and screwed with the meaningful ending of Metroid II as you ponder your new companion after the brutality of your genocidal mission.
@@omegamanGXE you do know that he's:
1. The leader of the space pirates, not a top rank pirate
2. He's also known as the cunning God of Death
3. He's the responsible for the death of Samus's parents
I'm pretty sure he's more than deserving of the final boss rank
I legit never knew the spring ball boss could be stopped in his tracks with bombs. This game truly is the gift that keeps on giving
One great thing about this game is that you actually have to strategize in order to beat most of the boss battles. You are forced to learn the attack patterns of the bosses and how to dodge them.
...instead of just spamming missiles hoping you win.
Thats why i always enjoyed ridley the least. In every game it was just about spamming 200 missiles in his face without much of a strategy
Ridley's like "You win this time, bounty hunter! But I will be back for that Metroid hatchling! In the next game!"
Also, with the Metroids gone, the X Parasites can now multiply & 1 day infect Samus, ultimately creating...
Samus Aran X or SA-X.
In the ending is the x parasite of metroid fusion
yeah cause samus kill the only thing kills the x parasite
Well no one knew about X the chozo never told anyone before making the metroids
In fact, its the exact same enemy that infects Samus inside the beginning of Metroid Fusion. Those hopper guys
Always Impressive!
N now we know Wat happen to Ridley in fusion
Fans:
Did you do it
Nintendo:
Yes
Fans:
What did it cost?
Nintendo:
AM2R
What the What the 911, Ouch
Not really as you can still download AM2R today. All they did was stop the original creator from continuing to work on it. They can't take down all of the backups uploaded to the internet.
This game is sooo good. I enjoyed sooo much to play this ❤️
Y'know the ice beam can down the Gamma Metroid, right?
Bosses from easiest to hardest (from a first time player perspective):
Alpha Metroid 1/10 (predictable attacks and you can kill it very fast if you counter)
Arachnus 3/10 (most attacks are obvious though the bouncing does take a bit to get used to)
Gamma Metroid 4/10 (mostly predictable like the Alpha, but it can screw you over if you position it wrong without the high jump)
Zeta Metroid 4.5/10 (it is tricky to get him down when he's low health, but just time it right and you are good)
Omega Metroid 5/10 (this guy takes a lot of abuse and he can easily take you from full to zero even on normal if you aren't careful, but the attacks aren't so hard to avoid)
Ridley 7/10 (this is a long boss fight with some attacks that are somewhat difficult to dodge)
Queen Metroid 8/10 (this is also a long boss fight and some attacks require tricks the game doesn't teach you to avoid)
Diggernaut 10/10 (just like the last two, this fight is long, but it adds a cryptic weak point to the equation as well as the most damaging attack in the game if you screw that up)
Diggernaut is mainly there because of cryptic design with the suction ability. He would tie with Ridley if the game made it clear to use the spider ball and just make him suck up bombs in the last phase. Also once you know his attack pattern, Diggernaut becomes significantly easier, but he's still no cakewalk at all.
This is a piece of gold, excellent
it's insane how many mechanics dread took from this game, in the cutscenes and gameplay
*takes metroid* Samus: UR NOW GONNA PAY FOR THAT
Samus: that Metroid will be 9999999.99 please
Ridley: over my dead body
Samus: ok
Am I the only one who wants a new game now rather than another remake? Seriously Fusion is only 15 years old why do people want a remake? What's there to remake?
This game is solid but I want a brand new 2D game now
Famous Goose idk but i feel like playing fusión on 3d gráfics
Obviously to see the SA-X segments in full 3D.
dude 15 years are too much :/
I frankly don't care too much if it's a Fusion remake or a continuation of the series.
I just want more Metroid, period.
Whatever happens, put it on the Switch! The 3DS is too small for my hands!
I just love the way Samus notices the Robot getting up and just charges her beam finishing it off without even looking. Like she’s had enough of its shit already.
I like to replay the final boss on my 3DS because using your counter against Ridley is one of the most epic things you could see in the game
Baby Metroid is way cuter than baby yoda
Damn they are gonna make Fusion?!?! Parasite x was seen on last minutes
Jesus Martinez no they gotta do Super Metroid first
one its just a easter egg and theres no need to remake super and the only reason to remake fusion is because the garbage tier music of the gameboy advanced
They were going to remake fusion originally but Nintendo chose metriod 2
Glowstick Glow Any other metroiid remake for me its awesome, but i like oldies so w/e
Jesus Martinez the planet IS SR388, which is the same planet that Samus was infected on. I have high hopes that Fusion is getting a remake as well.
Samus and baby Metroid kick the shit out of Ridley and suck his energy.
Ridley like a day later: Tis but a scratch.
The Diggernaut looks like a real classic metroid-prime drawn out fight. Only in 2D, and it looks fantastic!!!
Metroid is back :D
You didn't power bomb the Queen Metroid. Tragic.
And didn't counter most Metroid evolutions
GoRE
@@presidentobama2181 Do not confuse the user of Power Bombs here with their use against the Queen in AM2R. Basically, after you melee counter the Queen, you can use the Grapple Beam to bring her head down, then go into morph ball, go inside (you will take damage without Lightning Armor active), and place a power bomb - doing so does massive damage, and gets you spat back out
Hot tip: Charged ice beam shots freeze the cores of Alpha and Gamma Metroids, preventing them from charging themselves up with energy; Gammas also immediately fall to the ground when iced over.
Man I live all the little references to the Prime trilogy sprinkled in. Truly a celebration of all things Metroid
Ridley always die. But he will always return as long as the space pirates live. Ridley is created by space pirates over and over again.
You can scan pirate data in metroid prime 1. The pirates say that Samus kept on destroying Ridley. So they made him have tougher armor, which is where meta ridley comes in.
NostalgicGamer 56723 first its cybernetic armor, then armor repairs, then phazon healing, then an escape, then I'm not sure how he survives samus returns, then hes cloned, then hes cloned by the x.
I dunno... I think Ridley is just too big in this game
Awesomeguy 2.0 i'll refer you to all of the metroid prime series, where ridley is big enough to grab Samus in his hand
#ridley4smash
And people will still beg for him to be in Smash, even though he's constantly shown to be about half the size of most Smash stages.
Weavel for Smash.
If they can shrink BOWSER down to fit in smash they can do the same for ridley. Because in a LOT of mario games bowser is gigantic.
GameGodZERO Nononononono
RUNDAS FOR SMASH
WE NEED MORE BOUNTY HUNTER REPRESENTATION!!!!!
Was not expecting Ridley. He wasn't in the original, but I wouldn't say his appearance here wasn't unappreciated.
They made Samus even more badass in this game. I didn't even know that was possible. Wow
The robot boss looked to be the most fun, but they're all lacking compared to AM2R bosses. However, the Ridley boss surprised me: I didn't expect it, nice idea. And as expected, the 3D element allows for more depth (figuratively and literally) and character. The ending though of the X Parasite was a very nice touch.
I still prefer AM2R, but Samus Returns is still a winner. We all win.
LonghornRed I agree. We still got a Metroid game on the 3ds. I honestly like both, but I'm a bit nitpicky because of am2r.
My opinion on which game did the bosses better
(Alpha) Samus Returns
(Gamma) AM2R
(Arachnus) AM2R
(Zeta) Samus Returns
(Omega) AM2R
(Queen)...... um tie
I definitely prefer the atmosphere the Queen fight had in AM2R, along with its boss theme. I also prefer how that boss had multiple rooms and focused more on its neck attacks rather than the projectiles. However, I was disappointed that Samus was no longer able to use the bomb trick to defeat the queen. Sure one can do it during the final phase but it's mandatory instead of being an option.
As for the Samus Returns queeen Metroid fight, It definitely had a lot of cool new intricate attacks. This does help bring a greater challenge. It was also nice to see one can still use the bomb trick in a new way. While the projectiles on the Queen are cool I felt the boss fight lost the feeling of dodging the Queen's rapid neck attacks.
So between the two Queens, I can't decide.
Don't forget the machine boss. That one looks so cool.
I was only counting bosses that were in both Samus returns & AM2R
Although The Diggernaut & the Tester do seem very similar

did anybody else notice how the boss in the thumbnail looks like king dodongo from ocarina of time
Don’t mind me…just saw the Metroid Dread trailer and can’t wait to play it.
0:05
Samus: “A Metr- wait, what’s going on?”
Metroid: *incoherent squeaking*
14:17 I F***IN' LOVE SAMUS DUDE
It's great that we'll get to see a Fusion remake and all. (Metroid Fusion being one of my favorites) But they're gonna need to make do another remake of Super Metroid first. (Zero Mission being the first extended remake) Either that, or do some quick back story coverage in the beginning of the Fusion remake.
Wait, scratch that. My bad, I forgot that Zero Mission is a remake of the original Metroid. But, like I said, a remake of Super Metroid still needs to be done.
that means... Yakuza in 3D? AWW HELL NAWH
GUARANTEED
seriously if they make a supermetroid remake than that needs to be thirdperson ..
no 3rd person I hope
I liked this game very much. I beat it on Fusion difficulty and it was rewarding. I had got Metroid Fusion for the GBA in the early 2000’s. It was the first game I got. This was a super cool and fun port.
Thanks for putting the final boss in the thumbnail btw
The music on 15:53 was like a horror movie.
AWESOME. Now we just need to remake Zero Mission, Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion.
Seriously you want a remake from an remake ? Zero mission is already the remake of the first Metroid game and is very well done. The next remakes should be Super Metroid then Fusion. But Fusion Is perfect how it is originally, sometimes remakes sucks compared to original.
@@carlosj.hernandezr.2872 Perhaps, but Fusion with updated graphics would look sick.
Best Contra I've seen in a while.
Could you do a video on all power ups too, thank you so much. This is also a great video, love all of your uploads.
Diggernaught's theme is a remix of Berserker Lord from Corruption...Berserker Lord's theme is a remix of Arachnus X from Fusion...Arachnus of course first appeared in the original Return of Samus...
Aetheri you're talking about the Giant Spider in Fusion right? I just played the original Metroid 2 and I didn't see it in there.
No...Yakuza is the spider boss in Fusion....Arachnus is the first boss in Fusion, kinda looks like an Armadillo that rolls into a ball...Arachnus is the only non-Metroid boss in the original Metroid II...
24:58
Oh, so it looks like this Metroid game isn't the one getting an epic remake.
Between this game, the tease given to us at the end, and the fact that Metroid Prime 4 is a thing; Samus has truly returned.
Wait, I just realized something. If the Tease is accurate, and we are getting that game remade; Oh no.
If a Metroid Fusion Remake is happening, If Nintendo is bringing back the X Parasites, IF THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING;
Not only are we going to return to the Horror filled BSL Station, but we are also going to see a 3D version of the SA-X.
Let that sink in. The monster who is recognizable by its FOOTSTEPS, The monster who STILL haunts the memories of gamers worldwide, The monster who might be the only thing scarier than Dark Samus; RETURNING AS A 3D MODLE!!!
I never knew that hype and horror could work so well together like this.
If I had half a mind, I'd bet money that Fawful's Minion is going to need 2 changes of pants after hearing about this.
That's going to be the most hype thing, seeing if they can translate the SA-X faithfully into 3D.
Assuming they use the melee counter mechanic in a Fusion remake, that boss fight at the end of the game is gonna be lit.
Hopefully they don't fuck it up too much like other M with all the Adam bullshit.
Fusion is my favorite in the series. They'd better remake it faithfully and PUT IT ON THE SWITCH! THAT DAMN 3DS IS TOO SMALL FOR THIS KIND OF GAME!
Ikr, i feel your comment, you're a proper Metroid fan. SA-X is definitely not sex-y (ok sorry)
but yes, those scenes were horrible, can't imagine it in full HD 3D lol
stop!! look past those - Samus is her strongest there; her speed alone decimates all other versions
As she stared down the newly hatched Metroid, a startling realization came to her mind: she wiped out its home much like the space pirates did to her home. Also that they are kinda adorable when they aren't trying to kill you.
Two things it really makes you wonder if there’s going to be any more good Metroid games like this it makes you wonder where the story goes in can we also talk about how Ripley literally comes out of nowhere
5:50 when her boyfriend comes home early.
And still no love for Kraid. The developers had a cool character model for Prime and Nintendo said he wasn't imperative to the story, so he was left out. He was in the storyboard for Prime 3 and was left out. Why Nintendo. Why no love for Kraid. I always like him more than Ridley. The Brimstar music is awesome as well.
Man, agreed. I love Ridley, but I always loved Kraid a little more because he was so massive and imposing. Plus, you have so much potential to make some truly epic boss battles with Kraid. And isn't he a high-ranking Space Pirate, too? There's no excuse, Nintendo!
Well said my friend
Btw, it's "Brinstar", not "Brimstar"
I agree, especially since Kraid is one of Ridley's closest friends.
Ridley getting around is easy, he can fly. Kraid would require a big ass spaceship, he is not as mobile as Ridley
I like how, even when the small metroid is being cude, samus never lets her guard down completely*
The way Samus charges her beam carelessly is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a white bounty hunter
Gimme dat fusion remake, don't friggin tease me!
hell no i prefer 3d graphics even if its a 2d game, why would anyone prefer sprite graphics is beyond me specialy if they make fusion or super metroid remake on the switch .
Metroid Fusion doesn't need a remake. Neither does Super.
23:13 Ridley's body didn't explode this time
Lighting Rakurai,
Yah! That makes the game a lot more realistic since you fight him in super metroid! Normaly ridley would explode and than come back to life in the next game some how.
THAT'S a first for me.
I've never seen Ridley as a final boss before in a Metroid game. I could be wrong, though.
During the mining machine boss, if you use the spider ball it makes you immune to it's vacuum attack. This lets you just cost along with the suction and feed it a steady stream of bombs without heaving to de-morph and jump over it. Plus it's safer.
I wish they made a metroid game like this for switch instead of first person shooter style

The look on Samus' face @9:00 "...What the...I've officially seen it all"
BIG tip,when going up against the giant robot,when its doing its vacuum thing,you can use spider ball and keep dropping bombs and the robot will never be able to suck you in,also in the battle with the metroid queen,when you shoot her enough with Supers and she looks like she's just roaring ,she is not,if you stand close to her mouth you parry her bite attack,that way you can grapple her mouth and knock her to the ground where you morph and go inside her and drop a Power Bomb,you gotta do it at least 3 times to kill her off,also when she 's blowing her fire thing to the wall you can use Spider Ball to prevent from going into the wall with the flames.hope that helps to some players.
