Neat little video essay on the 2D Metroid franchise! It's a better time than any now that Dread is coming soon, with Prime 4 still in development.
I noticed you were linking some of the more "definitive" hacks in the description. While I can't speak for Metroid 2 (which you already have two choices for, anyways), I _can_ speak for the GBA games.
For Zero Mission, I'd recommend Cosmic's Project ZM, which polishes up the game across the board with physics tweaks, fixes, etc. For Fusion, there's the original Sequence Breaking Fusion if you just want proper wall/bomb-jumping (and the sequence breaks that come with them), or there's Special Edition (it's been a passion project of mine for the past month). It uses the previously-mentioned SBF as a base and updates the visuals a bit to look less like it's an early GBA title, along with introducing many community tweaks and some reimplemented early/unused content.
I hope you don't mind me pinning this, I think people will find this comment very helpful, cheers!
There’s also Super Metroid Project Base, which makes Super Metroid control even better, and changes quite a few things to allow for more glitchless sequence breaking.
Do you mean unused animations of the SA-X? Are you working on improving the A.I.?
I notice the Reason logo :) Aww wish I still had a copy of that. Also whish I still had a copy of Rebirth.
The zoom out on the Metroid map with the UI following the player is absolutely incredible. I have no idea how you made that work but I adored it.
And the music fade with it. Perfect.
I loved that!
UI? I'm sure you mean the HP but I can't figure out what UI actually stands for 😂
@@thereisnotryv1971 UI means user interface.
same, that touch really stood out to me, I was floored when it started happening
"Less of an earworm, more akin to being haunted by music"
*proceeds to play the most boppin track in the franchise*
This made me laugh.
I would've definitely played the lower Brinstar music or either of the Maridia tunes for a "haunting melody."
@@ShiKage08 or underwater sector 4
3:18 that zoom out showing the game screen overlaid on the full map is an incredible effect that really drives home the scale of the world
Me: Has played every Metroid game tens of times each
Also me: "Ah yes, let's watch a video on getting into Metroid"
Seriously though, great vid! That zoom-out edit of the map was so cool too, I wish I could edit that well lol
I played 1, 2. 3, AM2R, and Prime 1.
Right there with ya!!!
Only played AM2R so far and I've yet to complete it. :(
Hard to get any console by an affordable price here in my country.
Aka, *fuck Brazil's prices!* T__T
As a Sega kid, Super Metroid was the only game that made me envious of a friend who owned a SNES. Years later Metroid Prime was the first game I picked up on my GameCube and to this day it sits comfortably in my top 5 games of all time. Cheers for this!
That E3 announcement was badass. 'Oh yeah, here's Metroid 5, see you later'.
It's still really weird that a series that pretty much spawned its own genre isn't as popular as it should be
@Hockeygod98 And there's too many Zoomies who think that Hollow Knight spawned the Metroidvania genre.
Metroid have weird gaps in consoles generations unlike Zelda and Mario so it tend to escape the general public conciousness. Pretty neat that Metroid Dread is the most pre-ordered Switch game of the year currently so at least there's that.
@@bgc1081 _You have got to be fucking shitting me._ 😡
I remember Metroid Fusion to be absolutely *_terrifying_* so to call its successor "dread" i find to be very fitting!
The part when you're being chased and 2-3 shoted is scary but the ambience is terribly good too
If you aren't aware, theres actually a reason its called dread (aside from whats probably going on in the game). Maybe its not on purpose, but Retro Studios, who did Prime 1-3, were working on a metroid game by the same title but the project never really went anywhere. theres references to it on i think Prime 2 in some logs.
Apparently the world design will be much more open ended and explorable meaning non-linearity, alike Super Metroid. Nintendo knows what the fans want and im all the happier for it
The Map design of Super coupled with the music/atmosphere of fusion plus the modernized controls of Samus Returns!?!
this game is going to be a blast!
(pun intended)
Hopefully you will also be able to toggle the power ups in the samus menu like in super metroid.
@@matthewlawton9241 ok bro didn’t ask tho
That zoom out on the original Metroid game, as Samus is fighting and navigating her way through Zebes... GENIUS.
Still warms my heart to know that AM2R has been recommended as an incredibly solid remake for Metroid 2 by the fans for years.
Here’s hoping it stays that way. AM2R is incredible labor of love, and so is this video. Good stuff!
Now we wait for next April Fools where you connect the Chozo and the X Parasite to the Scrin and provide definitive proof that Samus is a part of Kane's inner circle.
Also, Tiberium = Phazon
@@Zaptagious *Deep lore shit right here.* 👾👍
I really appreciate how you give AM2R the exposure and love it deserves. Many youtubers shy away from it because it's not a Nintendo game. But fuck, you'd never know it if no one ever told you so
I'm so sad that Metroid never got the broad appeal Mario and Zelda did, it has so much potential for GOOD storytelling (Not other M) and great ambiance/gameplay...
I think it's because it lacks the same amount of accessibility as Mario and Zelda. Anyone can pick up one of those games, get through it quickly enough and have a blast. 2D Metroid games on the other hand are way harder, and are really just gonna appeal to a specific type of gamer. Not as many people are gonna be able to pick up a Metroid game and enjoy it as they would Mario or Zelda, even if I do think it's at the same level of quality as a franchise, if not more so.
Totally agree. I personally enjoyed metroid games and it is part of my all time favorites along with final fantasy, kingdom hearts, zelda and megaman.
Japanese aren't a fan Alien Sci-Fi.
They love Fantasies and JRPGs.
To be fair, most of other m’s story is bad because the English translation
Well, honestly Metroid is actually pretty good but when you are being compared to your older very successful brothers AKA mario and Zelda, and also being part of Nintendo. There are some huge expectations for Metroid, mostly sales wise. At its core, its a great video game just like Mario and Zelda. I also think that this future generation of consoles is perfect for Metroid to shine.
You could basically make a whole essay on Metroid music and hardware limitations lol. IMO, because some of Metroid's best tracks are simple melodies with a breath and a pulse to set the atmosphere, and because of the musical talent and technical know-how of the music team, Metroid, M2, and ZM all have a lot of brilliance that shines through the hardware constraints. M2 especially is interesting to me with what it accomplished in it's time with it's hardware.
Anyway, good video I enjoyed it 👍
Strongly agree. Particularly with how interesting the bloops of M2's music was. I liked how SM handled the remixes. Only problem is the more time I talk about music, the high the risk of YT taking exception to it, so I had to keep it very short.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
I've been a Metroid fan since childhood and have always held it as my favorite among Nintendo's "Holy Trinity" of Mario/Zelda/Metroid even if it often plays third wheel to the other two. Regardless, I can't wait for Dread and am excited that a whole new generation can experience how amazing Samus is.
Good to see you covering underrated Nintendo franchises again.
Metroid has always been on my radar, but after the Dread announcement I went ahead and played through Super Metroid on the Switch, since it comes free with a Switch Online subscription. I’d tried the original before, but found it impenetrable. A couple months on, and I’ve gone through Fusion and AM2R, and am finishing up Zero Mission, with my eyes on Samus Returns next. I’ve well and truly become a fan. It’s a shame I don’t have any real way to play the Prime games, I’d love to try those too…
I am with you, I wish the prime trilogy would get ported to the switch. Though I am impatient and just started Prime with Primehack KB+M controls...and now I am afraid I am too spoiled to go back to using a controller for prime. It took a lot of tinkering to get it working, dolphin and the prime trilogy are very finicky when it comes to proper settings to reduce stutters and lag, but I finally got it working with HD texture packs and it is glorious
Samus is my favorite female character in all of fiction. She's an all around badass. One of my favorite parts in Prime is reading the Space Pirate logs about how she's monstrously terrifying. Like she's a force of nature that can't be stopped regardless of their efforts. The most they can do is slow her down.
This is one of the best things in both Metroid 2 and Prime 1. In these games, you're not the hunted, you're the hunter. You're feared.
@@dr_ubo i’m predicting Dread will hit both of those areas very nicely.
I became a fan of this series in February of 2020 when I decided to play Super Metroid on Switch. Since then, I've just been trying to get more Nintendo fans to give the series a shot too
It’s so great to see so many new people getting into the series. It’s such a good series I got into it a year or two after zero mission came out and I have been a fan since. Thank you for giving it a chance and here’s to playing more Metroid in the future!
It's really really nice to see Metroid, my most beloved gaming franchise, to be flooded with so many new fans this past few years. And now with the upcoming Dread game, even more have joined the frey. They truly are wonderful games and experiences to be had.
Here's to Dread's success! Cheers. From one Metroid fan to a couple others.
Epic zoom out! What a great way to contextualise the gameplay!
100% agree on your final take. When I saw people break down about what Other M did to their beloved Metoid series, I just felt like the "first time?" meme, still coping with the aftermaths of C&C4. And I'm a huge fan of both series. 😅
Assuming a Prime series video will come (maybe when Prime 4 actually gets any news?), I am excited to see it (hopefulyl) done justice. People only ever seem to care about Prime 1 because it's "Super Metroid but in 3D!" and Prime 3 because of its different approach to things, but to me Prime 2 will always be the best of that trilogy. It took what worked in Prime 1 while fixing most of what didn't. Backtracking is extremely streamlined, with elevators connecting each area to every single other area, beams are done MUCH better (each new beam doesn't make previous beams obsolete, because honestly, who used wave after getting ice, and who used ice after getting plasma?(outside of the few enemies that REQUIRED them). I could go on for far too long about why Metroid Prime 2 is potentially the best game in the franchise, or at least my favorite.
Don't forget the boss fights, which are just miles better in comparison to Prime, at least in the grand scheme of things and of course difficulty. Prime 2 is indeed a challenge and for hardcore gamers it's a pool of joy. Prime 2 may not have the most memorable locations or tracks (sanctuary fortress is incredible though) compared to Prime 1, but is it a joy to play. Cheers.
Good god that zoom out was insane! Well done! Even the HUD moved with Samus, loved it man!
I’ve been playing Metroid since I was a kid, mostly grew up on the Prime games, Zero Mission and Fusion. Right now I’m going through all of them before Dread. Super excited to finally return to one of my favorite childhood franchises
I started my Metroid journey about a week ago playing through zero mission, what a fantastic way to get to experience the start of Metroid story as I was glued to the game
I love exploring Zebes and finding new paths with every powerup I received, I loved the beautiful sprite work portrayed in the cutscenes and overworld, I loved going back to explore once I hit a roadblock and finding something I wasn’t expecting to find (such as the boss fight with that larva fly thing) and without a doubt my favorite part of the game being the final act
I cannot wait to start Metroid 2 next
That is what Metroid is all about. No NPCs, no dialogue, just isolation, immersion and exploration. Hope you have a wonderful time with Metroid 2, whichever you decide to pick up!
Pick up am2r. It’s fantastic. The 3ds version no joke ruined my hands after about 30 mins of playing(I finished it anyway but it’s unenjoyable because of the controls)
As a long time Metroid fan from the early 90s since my childhood days of playing Metroid on his NES, I gotta say your description of what it feels to play that opening section of NEStroid, as it is called, was marvelous. The editing with the map zooming out while the music faded and the commentary kept on going.... *chefs kiss*
I particularly want to thank you for not dismissing both NEStroid and Metroid 2 on the Gameboy. Too many have I seen and heard say: "just play the remakes, forget about the originals, they are too clunky and have aged badly" and while this isn't exactly false, since they are indeed very old games, I feel like at least trying them out once or twice is the way to go. The franchise ideas came from somewhere and it is totally worth checking out either for the franchise history reasons or because of gaming history. Thank for that little showcase.
Amazing video by the way. You've earned a new subscriber.
I only think that way about Metroid on the NES. While the lack of a map and cryptic progression can be solved by just looking up a guide online, the fact that you start with a meager 30 energy whenever you die is the absolute worst thing about the game, and that can't be worked around. It makes the game a chore, completely sucking away any and all sense of progression.
Metroid 2 on Gameboy though is pretty good. I blasted through almost the whole game in a couple sittings, the only reason I stopped is because the closest recharge point in the end was a solid 10 minute trek, and I needed it after every Omega Metroid. So while I recommend it, I also completely understand why someone would want to skip it and just go to AM2R or Samus Returns.
that intro was brilliant like it gave me fucking chills i love when videos can do that
I've been wanting the play the games for years and have been following the franchise for just as long. I've done everything short of play the game so dread came out at a perfect time now that my metroid fever is in full gear
I have played Metroid...I'm planning to buy a Switch for Dread...Metroid is one of my favourite franchises of all time.
3:33 The dawning of Metroidvania. Sure Castlevania: Symphony of the Night made the term popular, but it started here. A non linear sprawling labyrinth with no map (outside of buying a nintendo power guide). No save points. You died, you were given a password and brought back to square one. The stakes were high at the start and the world map at that time was ambitiously HUGE. This game preyed on your fear being lost of the unknown.
Edit: and some rooms back then looked *exactly* the same as you can see on the panning map.
Played Super Metroid for the first time this month, in preparation for Dread. Loved it.
Every Metroid 2D game is awesome - and so was the first Metroid Prime game. It's a terrific, criminally underplayed series. I really hope Dread does well.
Prime 2 and 3 were pretty great as well
They should have taken advantage of the hype for Dread and just put the other Metroid games on the Switch. Only the first one and Super on there... It's kind of baffling to me how many old school games still aren't available on Switch. Nintendo works in mysterious ways...
---> Nintendo.
World-class developer, god-awful publisher.
Apparently the GB is going to be on switch soon though, so that’s something. About 2 years late IMO but..
The SM Redux patch is very nice indeed after not playing the game for many years and being used to the newer games' controls. It's not perfect. Sometimes Samus gets stuck trying to land on vertically moving platforms, but there's only 1-2 places it really comes up as a minor problem. Overall it's a nice QoL update with the missile shortcut button, and auto-run especially.
I'm so excited for Dread. I'd started getting back into 2D Metroid after playing a lot of Prime 1 rando over the last year, and that has only intensified after the reveal of Dread. I've played Super, Fusion, ZM, and SR several times over the last couple months to see how quickly I could clear the games. AM2R a couple of times as well. I hope we start to see new installments more often. Nintendo is promoting Dread quite a lot. And also let's not forget Prime 4 is on its way as well.
It’s time you do more of these “It’s Time You Played: ..” please. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Am2r came out at the same time as Samus Returns, so both games were in direct competition.
Shuting down Am2r was the right choice, seen as Mercurysteam made an amazing game that open the way for Dread.
Supporting the oficial release is always the sensible choice, and supporting an spanish studio is a plus.
Actually, AM2R came out like an entire year before Samus Returns.
They had the decency to WAIT for it to release at least
It seems, Nintendo did alow it to release on purpose, rather than stop it from being finished
Loved this piece, great to see you / this channel branch out.
Great video. I love the Metroid series. It’s time everyone played Metroid.
Before I watch this I just want to say I absolutely loved your Boss Keys series on Metroid. Really eye opening stuff. Thanks, Stefan from England
- Stefan from England.
Edit: You destroyed my comment within the video. Great video, too. Your passion for Metroid bleeds through.
Hah seems like you noticed but for everyone else: Mark Brown from GMTK made the fantastic Boss Keys! I thought I really should give him a shoutout since I get told I sound like him a lot
@@NoStringsPrd No joke, your editing, voice over and stuff are very similar. You could tell me you are related and I would 100% believe it.
"This game is a killer on the hands." (talking about Samus Returns)
Yes, and it also killed my 3DS's circle pad. XD
Also funny how you said that Metroid music is less of an earworm and immediately follow up with Super Metroid's Overgrown Brinstar music, one of the biggest earworms I kept from my childhood days of gaming. ^^
It's funny how this was recommended to me after I just finished my run through all the 2D metroids again for dread.
“It’s time you played Metroid”
Me, who’s been doing it for more than five years: Don’t mind if I do!
Great job on the video man your voice really sold me throughout the video!
That zoom out of Zebes while describing the cavernous labyrinth is brilliant editing. I liked the video just for that alone. Well done.
The zoom out on the Metroid map makes me subscribe this channel
This is an excellent video. Great job!
Ive played almost all games multiple times, but i still like these type of videos about getting into metroid and series reviews.
Also i love in the metroid 1 segment how it zooms out revealing the whole map
Holy crap, this was great!
Sorry about not commenting much, but I’m always trying to watch your videos. RUclips doesn’t recommend them unfortunately.
For those that doesn’t know, AM2R have a Reddit where you can download the game
"My larynx twin, Mark Brown" Lmao
I would also recommend the Mod for Metroid 1 (NES) named Metroid Rogue Dawn. It includes a new whole story that acts out as a prequel to Zero Mission, a whole new map, a new ost as well as the upgrades of Metroid mOTHER.
Excellent video. I would have liked to hear more about Super Metroid, since I've heard many people say it was great but little explanation. Still a great overview of the series as a whole.
Cheers! There really is a lot to say about Super and Fusion, but this video is intended as a more introductory retrospective for newcomers to help get people to play, and I didn't want to say too much about the later games in this one
Go watch The Geek Critique's video on Super Metroid. It's an excellent video, and he's done videos on every other Metroid game too. Just be forewarned, it contains spoilers.
Metroid fusion is the first and only Metroid i played. But it was enough to make me fall in love with the series and metroidvanias in general. I’m looking forward to Metroid Dread and will play Super Metroid in the future.
Nice coverage dude!
That zoomout is awesome!
Awesome video. Thank you Algorithm. Can't wait for Dread!
Nice vid, looking forward to more CnC content!
Nicely done. I wish more youtubers used their platform to garner more fans to Metroid, like you did. Hype for Dread! (Holy [redacted] that 2nd trailer got me crazy)
Bravo mec! Énorme et excellent! Tu mérites plus évidemment
Merci
Game maker's toolkit being your larynx twin cracked me up
Metroid 1 on NES was my childhood.
“It’s time you start playing Metroid.” Implying I haven’t been since the GameCube, my first console.
Also I know it’s been said, but damn that zoom out on the map of Metroid 1 was so well done.
For Super Metroid veterans, I recommend Hyper Metroid, Super Metroid Ascent and Ancient Chozo.
As a child I didn't know much about Metroid. Sonic was my obsession. As I've grown older though, Metroid has usurped Sonic with its condensed quality and connected storyline. The first one I ever played was Prime 1 and the final game i completed was GB Metroid 2. Its a wonderful series and i like doing quick playthroughs of the games for friends who other wise wouldnt have played them. The series deserves more recognition and love.
This is my favourite game series
Your closing statement at the end is quite a hill to die on, but I agree with it nonetheless
But it is true. Other M wasn't made/published by EA. So, it's automatically better than C&C4.
Still probably the worst Metroid game. However, that likely belongs to Federation Force on the 3DS.
To quote AVGN, "What were they thinking!?"
I didn't hate Other M as much as I hated Prime Hunters. Super repetitious and bad level design (they literally used multiplayer stages for the story mode), not to mention how much it made your hands hurt.
@@Gruntvc I don't know what you mean, after the fiasco that was Other M and an 8 year hiatus, clearly the one thing that everyone really wanted was a multiplayer focused, sportsball/arena shooter with Super Chibi graphics in which the series heroine isn't even a playable character. Absolute brilliance and an uncanny ability to read the room on display here.
@@Darkkfated I adored how much sarcasm is just bursting out of your comment. Made me laugh a couple of times. Haha
"Zero Mission was a handheld port of the first game"
Reimagination*
You're right, that would have been a better word, my b
Just found your channel throught Jethild's C&C videos and then your videos about the Mutants/Forgotten and the Tacitus/Scrin/Ascended video.
Gotta say, *I would absolutely LOVE to see you covering the Metroid franchise.* I admit I'm a relatively new fan, haven't even played any of the games outside of a bit of AM2R, *but dear lord, when I started searching up the lore, watching a few gameplays* _(emphasis on "few")_ *and some people talking about the lore,* _I just fell in love._
Also, *totally agree.*
Other M may be an atrocious entry, specially in the characterization of both Samus and Adam Malkovitch _(Metroid manga for win, bitches!),_ *however, Tiberium Twilight is the "He who must not be named" of video game franchises.* T__T
_"Top 3 ways to bury a franchise", by EA Los Angeles._
I've always preferred playing through a game series as released to see how the series evolves gameplay wise rather than playing the "better versions" straight away and suffering from hindsight when going back to an earlier title (although there are obviously exceptions). I suppose it boils down to how tolerant you are to playing through older games, especially those of the NES era, but it makes the transition from Metroid 2 to Super Metroid so much more of a transcendent experience, and revisiting Metroid 1 through Zero Mission right after Fusion is a blast.
But anyway, your summary of the series so far is excellent, thumbnail game is on point, and I'm excited to see where you might branch off to next.
That last line, I agree. Other M had its problems but if you ignore the questionable plot you're still left with a decent game
Believe it or not, Metroid 2 was the first and currently only one I beat. I'm currently working on Zero Mission, though.

@@NoStringsPrd oh lord that one, classic.
@@NoStringsPrd i want this framed on my wall. Iconic meme status
I recently started playing super Metroid and it might be one of my favorites
I am all for Metroid Content!
That intro is on point
Such a simple thing I overlooked placing the power up on the left. Great set up for the old NES title.
I recently started playing the Metroid franchise at the start of august, I played zero mission on my Wii-U and I played samus returns on 3ds… then I started super Metroid and it was definitely a great game but the floatiness and few vague spots made it quite frustrating. Like how come you can’t see where the doors are on the map, how come you can’t see what items you’ve picked up… and the random bomb spots… though this is certainly circumvented once you get the scanner. Super Metroid is revolutionary for it’s time and has been a great game so far but if I decide to replay one of the Metroid games, I’ll stick with zero mission or samus returns.
I recently played every 2D metroid game. Some for the first time ever. Even return of samus. These games are really good!
I really dont know why the fuck this Metroid games are so fucking owesometacular i started in 1995 with super metroid.
Since Dreads announcement. I've only beaten Metroid and Super Metroid on Switch. I'm purchasing a 3DS and a Wii U to play the remaining games: Metroid Samus Returns and Metroid Fusion. Its a Metroidthon, my fellow space mercenaries!
2:13
Naming Samus "Metroid", I liked that detail, I did it my first time playing, when I didn't know anything yet, newbie.
If you Google the phrase "Metroid can't crawl" you'll find the original I was referencing
If you want a version of Super Metroid that feels better, download the 0.7.3 + extras archive of Project Base by begrimed, and use the "gameplay only" patch found within the folders. Super Metroid plays like a dream afterward. The other patches will change the map, but the "gameplay only" patch only changes the gameplay to feel more modern and responsive/fluid.
Well, you said you were thinking about doing a Metroid video, and you certainly don't disappoint!
It'd be interesting to see Lore vids from you, in the same way you do with C&C, although I don't know if you're as into Metroid as doing those kind of vids would need. Up to you I suppose, but might be fun to see. ^^
As for that final statement...well, I never bothered to play C&C4. I lost touch with the franchise post-westwood and didn't check it out again until after C&C4 had been released, so I had the benefit of the fandoms wisdom to steer me clear of it.
But I have played Other M.
And honestly, while it's likely a matter of degrees, you're probably right...
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm certainly considering some Metroid lore, it was fun running through the story and upscaling those manga pages for this. I have a few ideas, Metroidlore probably won't become a main fixture on this channel but it's certainly on the cards, just have a few other topics on my list to get through first
Brilliant video. Bold statement on Other M, though. ;) While not incorrect when compared to CNC4... the less said about it, the better, in some regards.
Let's just say it had some good ideas, but a HUGE amount of wasted potential.
Can i just say, that thumbnail is fantastic

3:18 NGL. I would sort of love a metroid mod that just showed basically the whole game at once. that would actually be really funny
I know, that’s why I played Zero mission, Samus returns and Super Metroid. Fusion is coming right now
In preparation of Dread, I've been going back through the series and trying to play through them all. I already finished Fusion, I FINALLY beat Super, and now I'm working on another playthrough of Samus Returns and Zero Mission.
For those looking to jump into the series before Dread comes out, I second the motion of going with Zero Mission. It's quite short, but still a great game.
How did you play Super Metroid?
@@Not-Batman I used the SNES Classic.
@@Cobaltios Shit those are out of stock now right?
my favorite games of all time
zelda botw
metroid prime
metroid zero mission
metroid fusion
mario oddysey
zelda oot
doom 64
smash ultimate
also a zero mission hack that is a remake of super metroid, i liked it best
I love how he states this isn't in his top 10 and Metroid Prime is my number 1 video game of all time.
I'm going to be crazy and say that Metroid is Nintendo's best franchise. Zelda and Mario are both incredible series, but the consistent excellence of Metroid titles cannot be ignored.
great video
This is a pretty great video. Also nice to see a little "metroid restrospective to cash in on dread" that doesn't completely trash the prime games, since not only are they important, but...(spoiler below "read more")
Ridley shows up at the end of samus returns in a hybrid design of his prime 3 and Super Metroid looks. This means that you'll never know what part of the Prime series might be important to Dread. Regardless, you got a like and subscribe from me.
Me: "If you've never played Metroid 2, start with AM2R"
We need more Metroid's game
Simply they're beautiful ❤️💖
I have been Metroid Fan since my childhood in Wii's age, I started with prime 3 and currently it's still one of my favorites games that I've ever play! 💕
I will play all of 4 2D games again until Dread's launch
Super Metroid and AM2R are both easily some of my favorite games of all time. Zero mission, AM2R, then Super Metroid isn't a bad way to experience the story of the first 3 games. Some people can't push through the original, and I can't blame them. However, it's best to play through everything at least once. I wouldn't make someone do it though.
I was thinking about how much you sounded like Mark Brown, and then you called him "my larynx twin" hahaha amazing
Hah I get a lot of comments asking if I'm him, thought I should call it out
When you recall No Strings Prd with Command & Conquer and his splendid lore videos especially with the Tiberium Wars. I'm only going to start wondering when No Strings Prd starts to draw a correlation between Tiberium and Phazon.
Hah, the first lore video on this channel was _What is Tiberium?_ , but originally I was just going to do that one C&C lore video then move on to _What is Phazon?_ I'm currently playing through and recording Metroid Prime Trilogy to hopefully eventually try that topic
best game series ever
