Zero Mission is possibly one of the best remakes ever made. Damn how I miss 2D Metroid... yeah we got one not too long ago, but I hope we get another one.
Zero Mission should have had a secondary mode like this. Just a total recreation of the original Metroid with better sprites and improved gameplay. I'm glad this person used Super Metroid to make it though. I need to download this.
The game is Metroid, the power is Nintendo! Infiltrate the Space Pirate fortress on Planet Zebes! Destroy all the Metroids, and destroy the Space Pirate Leader, Mother Brain! Metroid from Nintendo! Now you're playing with power!
I noticed this one lets you keep both beams at once and fires faster. That would make the game a bit easier. The Ice Beam in the original has limited use because you shoot so slowly the faster-moving enemies can escape in between freezes, and you always have to double back to get another Ice Beam before confronting Tourian. Nice job though. :)
This playthrough is so awesome to watch. It makes me think about the SNES and if there was a Metroid All-Stars, akin to the Super Mario All-Stars, this could have been the remake for the SNES.
@Hannibal Barca Well it could have to do with the fact that Super Metroid released in 1994.... almost 30 gotdamn years. No shit there would be improvements.
@Hannibal Barca "Which takes a rougher looking game and makes it look better than Super Metroid quality wise" Yeah, so someone took a Gameboy game and made it look better than Super Metroid, a game that came out in in 1994. Again, no shit dumbass. I can make a game look better than Super Metroid in this day and age.
I like how there's little subtle changes here and there to make the game more enjoyable yet it still gives it that NES Metroid feel (aspect ratio, play mechanics, slowdown, etc).
@@TheMikeyb86 absolutely, I really enjoyed the play through, I felt your pain with the slight wonky controls, especially with the metroids at the end, lol.
This really show the scale differences between Metroid and Super Metroid. Quite interesting to see how Samus has either grown or the world around her shrunk between games.
It shows they can dress the same game up, update some graphics, change the name and sell *the exact same story and map* over and over and over again to *so* many people. They’re all the same story!
@@JosephQPublic Ehhh, there's purpose to Samus's travels and returns to Zebes. Plus, Metroid feels more like you're walking through hallways with slight cavernous formations, while Super Metroid's Zebes looks more like an actual planet with caverns. Just because it *looks* the same, doesn't mean it *is* the same.
Having to choose between ice beam and wave beam was a mistake in the original NES version. Glad this version didn't repeat this mistake. For the Norfair and Ridley music, I'm not saddened they took SuperMetroid stuff since it was great. Nice version of Kraid's Lair music. That was my favorite in the original game.
Hahaha, it's baby Ridley! This is an interesting proof of concept, but it just makes me want Zero Mission, which was and is still awesome. What this demonstration makes me feel is a desire for Zero Mission, but with sharper graphics.
Hey so I'm having a little trouble with the audio. I can't seem to get the sound as clean as yours. The title screen music is crackling pretty bad and if I turn the sample rate up to 196k or something higher it causes a crash. Could you tell me what your audio settings are? I'm using the Mesen Retroarch Core btw but it shouldn't matter.
@@Chernobog2 I wonder whether you can get both with a doctored password (not that any password was entered here). There are separate bit flags for each beam.
I believe if you search RUclips for "metroid Analog Synth" you get a whole collection which I think is the music they used in this version of the game. Some dude with his super synthesizer made it. 🤘
For the people asking about the intro music, it's by the very talented Luminist: ruclips.net/video/Q6fceLfjB4s/видео.html He's also got a sweet analog synth re-imagining of the Super Metroid soundtrack as well: ruclips.net/video/dVYLL6AW5lc/видео.html
Doubt it. Miyamoto has gone on record saying how much he hates metroid. He has the same to say about F-Zero. Apparently to him those games are unimaginative and repetitive yet he loves to pump out multiple Mario bros and mario kart for every console. I know he's not in charge of all nintentos decisions but his voice still carries a lot of weight. Tbh I wish the senile old man would retire. As much as he's worshipped by nintendo fans the guy is really losing his mind.
And honestly nintendo as a whole is a company that exploits their fanbase and shows how much distain they have for us. They've always been a monster. I get them being credited for saving the gaming industry but their monopolistic ways have damaged it more than anything over the early years. Luckily now their influence is minimal as a whole and are just catering to the casual crowd. Shamefully their base is willfully ignorant to the abusive and exploitive nature of the company.
FWIW, the NES didn't use square pixels. Long story short, this video is about 12.5% too narrow, and the HD graphics (fortunately) assumed a 4:3 aspect ratio, rather than the "emulator default" of 256:240. If you do more of these, hopefully there's a way in Mesen to fix the aspect ratio.
This is built on top of Metroid Mother, right? It doesn’t have the different tiles for breakable blocks that Mother had… it’s still my preferred way of going back to Metroid 1, but it would be perfect if it could be included.
Yeah, I got lost all the time, I remember my older brother taking graph paper and mapping out the whole game (remember the map in super metroid, his map was like that except on paper), then he played it after spending months mapping it and was finally able to beat it
You expect Nintendo to care and have common sense? I'm still pissed about Prime 4 too. Even with the delay/restart we should at least have some idea what it looks like now.
Thank you for the video. The physics and controls seem exactly like the original. One question - Didn’t the Ice and Wave beams overwrite each other; and thus you could only have one of those upgrades at a time?
No, the ips patch files seem to combine them. Nice catch, though. For me as a newb, I definitely like how they combine as it made it easier for me. Since then, I've been able to beat the original Metroid on native hardware and it prepared me.
they override eachother and the ice beam is generally required for Tourian so there are actually two of them in the game in case you grab it first. However, from what I understand there is actually dummied out code in the game to handle them stacking, and there are a number of romhacks that allow them to combine
Wow, a whole lot of nostalgia googles in here. Game was great at the time, but Kraid and Ridley have never been bigger jokes than in this. A fresh coat of paint on a dilapidated shack is still a shack!
@@ayrahn7893 Purists say it's an un-faithful remaster of the original (edit: which it kinda is to a certain extent, the core mechanics are the same and the first half of the game is still the core of the OG Metroid but with an extra part of the game towards the ending. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as the game is still fun). They're more elitist than Half Life 2 fans
It's unfortunate that many cool rom hacks such as these require the use of the inferior NES version of Metroid instead of the Famicom one. The latter one had better console specs in order to improve things such as random enemy behavior. Ridley in particular is a more challenging boss in the Famicom version.
While it makes sense to use Super Metroid assets (after all, it's the same planet on Metroid and Super Metroid), at same time, it takes down the distinction between the two games. I prefer mods that makes Metroid 1 look slightly better, while maintaining the old 8bit look to is, instead of playing this way, which looks like a tunned down map on Super Metroid.
