      It's because they have modesty on their side. Channels that gain fame often go the MatPat route and act egotistical and holier-than-thou about it.

    I liked it how you used Am2r's "Initial Descent" song I really appreciate that you use am2r even though it's not an Nintedo title you still use as an example! Also great job for 400 subs and be prepared for 500!

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +12

      While AM2R is not an official game, I can't deny I am a big fan of the game, and its overall a better take on Metroid 2 soundtrack (compared to the original) so makes it better on the ears for videos. And I think its a great example to prove how much fans are passionate about the series and understand its formula to make a game that feels like an official one.
      Also (by the time of me writing this) I didn't have the chance to be prepared for 500 since it jumped to 600 subscribers, truly appreciate the support.

    • @codyjacobs3314
      @codyjacobs3314 7 лет назад

      am2r is not the real remake lol It is great dont get me wrong and the soundtrack is amazing, but samus returns looks fantastic. It is being published and developed in part by nintendo so it is the real remake. I love the graphics of the old 2d metroids like fusion zero and super too, but I have always imagined what a 2.5d side scrolling metroid would be like and this one looks very impressive.

    Everyone who won't buy this game out of defiance for the DMCA take down, the game was trying to light a spark in good classic Metroid games. And it worked! We got two new Metroid games announced at this E3 and if Samus Returns does well, we'll expect more 2D Metroid games. Hell, they might finally make a sequel to Fusion, and I'm not the only fan who really wants that.

      You guessed right! The channel's name is an intentional homage to Frigate Orpheon from Prime 1, strangely enough one of my favorite locals from the series. I do remember reading something like that, but I would have to double check with the scan logs.

    But today I also ordered the 3DS XL Metroid edition, that thing is just a beauty I couldn't resist. So happy Metroid is getting a good return... Will have to get a Switch for Prime 4 though...

    I am excited about this game because Sakamoto seems to be back into his game.
    Which that makes me very happy, cause I really liked what he brought to the series.
    Everyone always claimed that he is not the Metroid guy cause he was not on the development team.. (at the time he was too busy making the excellent Super Metroid)
    I really hope it is amazing game and it will hold its own in the modern realm.

    And let's not forget the Metroid (SO SQUISHY) and Samus amiibos. Those things are definitely worth picking up. While I am a bit disappointed that us here in North America aren't getting the same special edition as Europe, I'm at least happy that: A. we're getting a new Metroid game (thankfully) and B. it helps save me money as I have enough financial issues to deal with such as university tuition. Samus Returns is currently my most hyped up game that's still coming out this year since Zelda already came out. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing. Can't wait to see what you do with your channel in the future.

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад

      You are right, its a good thing we are not tempted with the Legacy Edition, but knowing myself, I will probably import it for my collection. I think Samus Returns is my most hyped game for 2017, period (obvious reasons) I will try to make videos on the new games as more info is given and videos on the series as usual. Perhaps some animations or subscriber specials on the way.

      I absolutely will, with pleasure!
      And actually, now that you mention it, I kinda have an idea for a video that I know I myself would be interested in watching:
      Nintendo has been changing up their game recently with Zelda turning into a whole different experience in BotW, and with taking Mario back to the SM64/Sunshine -style (and actually, far earlier though, Kid Icarus, with Uprising); how do you think they could improve or revamp Metroid? Or shouldn't they at all? Would it fit in an Breath of the Wild -esque setting (although probably partially underground)? Should include manual interplanetary travel à la No Mans Sky (but good)?
      If you think it sounds like an interesting topic, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that!
      But regardless if you want that or not; always do what YOU want with your content, because you definitely have a touch of that magic that makes it really interesting to listen to your thoughts.
      Looking forward to seeing your channel grow :D

    Its such a big deal because Metroid 2 has deserved a remake for years, Zero Mission was a beautiful remaking of the original Metroid and Metroid 2 deserved the same.

I wanted to make a video based around why Samus Returns is something people should get excited (since Prime 4 kinda took the spotlight) and I made sure the quality was nice so people had a pleasant viewing experience.
      My two cents is that you should make every video as polish to the best of you abilities, since you never know what will the video that might strike a chord with people.

    So glad I found this channel! Subbed. But I got a couple questions for ya
    1. what is the other Metroidvania game you show besides Guacamelee and Shantae?
    2. As much as I love the Metroid U, I've only played a few games, including just Prime 1 and not Prime 2-3. But I'm eager to dive into Samus Returns ASAP. Should I just watch the cutscene vids for Prime 2-3? Would I miss anything story-wise or part of the nuanced world? Would just the various summary videos be enough? I have the games myself but am not sure I'll complete them in the next month w/ the other games currently on my plate. >_>
    Thanks for this awesome and unique channel! I really do admire and respect ppl who are dedicated and passionate about a single franchise's lore and background. Especially when that franchise is infrequent yet still rich in history and lore. Metroid, or otherwise!

      Thank you for the support, I hope you enjoy the rest of my content.
      As for the questions you asked.
      1 - The game is called Axiom Verge. It is available in various platforms
      2 - I don't think Samus Returns will dwell on anything related to the Prime Trilogy (in terms for your o full understand and appreciate the new game's story) If anything, it might be worth playing is Metroid Zero Mission, since Samus Returns is a sequel to it (and the game is rather short)
      With that said, I highly recommend playing Prime 2 - 3 to fully experience all of its subtle storytelling. Watching playthroughs or summaries will give you the gist of the game's plot (Samus's Mission) but you will miss out on all the little details and intricacies that tell you the real story of the worlds you visit.
      I made a video on it regarding Metroid Prime 2, in case you were curious.
      Lastly wanted to say thanks for the compliment and words of encouragement, they really make all the difference. thanks for watching/commenting

    • @kalega311
      @kalega311 7 лет назад

      Bah, I should've guessed Axiom Verge! I actually own it lol, but have yet to even boot it up.
      And ok, interesting suggestion b/c I thought the Prime Trilogy was after Zero Mission? I have played the first Metroid, as recently as just a couple years or so ago, if that counts (since Zero Mission is a remake. Speaking of remakes, Metroid 2 is the only Metroid I don't own, hence why I'm hyped for Samus Returns).
      I do agree about the subtle nuances and intricacies in the storytelling in the Prime series. One of the things I enjoyed so much about Prime1. I think regardless, I was going to play Prime2-3 eventually since I have them. Was curious how urgent I should treat it before playing Samus Returns.

    • @TheOrpheon

  • @LosN209
    @LosN209 7 лет назад

    I hope they have some sort of a cameo of the X fleeing in the background. Or the X fleeing from a Metroid about to eat it, as Samus enters the room, the Metroid turns it's attention towards her thus making Samus not even focus on the X at all, to later foreshadow the events of Fusion in a simple "nod" fashion.

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +1

      I never stopped to think about that! You are right that would the the coolest nod to fans with Fusion! or perhaps even having a small segment in the game (or a boss) that turns out to actually be an X, only for it to be eaten by a Metroid and later Samus kills it. A small foreshadow of the events in Fusion (My idea might not fit the best way, but I think it might by cool to see)

  • @Destroyah5000
    @Destroyah5000 7 лет назад

    Okay, yeah, everything you mentioned is mostly the reason why Samus Returns is big news, but something grossly important was left out. I'm of course talking about AM2R.
    At this point, my mind is blown that we're going to get an actual remake out of Nintendo one year after the completion of AM2R. Come mid September, not only are we going to have Metroid 2 in the style of Zero Mission's presentation, but we'll also have the 3-D rendered side-scrolling experience I have been dreaming about for the longest time. It almost feels like an apology from Nintendo for shutting down DrM64's project, even when it was likely a huge coincidence, but nonetheless, I feel like the circle is complete. To quote DrM64 from his Twitter account, the name "Another Metroid 2 Remake" now makes even more sense than before. Having this all come together in my head upon watching the Samus Returns trailer blew my mind out of this galaxy.
    Also, one small thing: doesn't this game look like the game we never got, something unrelated to Metroid 2? Rememer the last time we had a Metroid drought, back when the Nintendo 64 had no Metroid title? Personally, to me, Samus Returns looks like that game, because the graphics do resemble what can be expected from an N64. All these things together have left me with an excitement I have never felt before for a video game.

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +1

      I did not go over AM2R because I feel that my opinions are good enough to make it a separate video, but I am happy that even though AM2R was shut down, Nintendo is giving us their take on an outdated classic. And now that you mention it, it does look something similar to the prototype stuff for N64 Metroid, perhaps it was used as an inspiration for the look of this game. Personally i'm happy to see that 2D Metroid is rendered in 3D and that aded depth of the scenery gives an extra layer of immersion to make SR-388 feel alive and deadly

All I gotta do now is wait for a restock, or perhaps Nintendo could bless us with a special Metroid edition Switch of the sort, which would buy in an instant. Also, I loved playing Zero Mission, so I'm definitely picking up Samus Returns on day one.

  • @vaatithewindmage9600
    @vaatithewindmage9600 7 лет назад

    I think the Space Pirates and their involvement in the Prime Trilogy would be an interesting topic to cover. Unlike other games where they're depicted as a hive mind under the control of Mother Brain/Ridley, the Prime games gave the Pirates autonomy, the intellect of their science division, and their thirst for power.
    What if Sylux is hired by the Space Pirates in Prime 4, like Samus is by the Federation time and time again?

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +1

      I didn't ever see or consider the pirates as a hive mind, more Mother Brain with the Metroids. The pirates just followed MB's command because she was able to control the Metroids and use them as a threat, but I do see what you mean.
      I think it would be even more interesting if Sylux instead tried to fight the Space Pirates so they don't destroy Samus or the Feds before him, that way we get like a 3-way battle between the Feds/Pirates/Sylux and Samus jumps in to help, it be something new for the series, since the pirates have already teamed up with Dark Samus before?

  • @maxis2k
    @maxis2k 7 лет назад +1

    Metroid II is still my favorite Metroid game. So I am very hyped. But that being said, there's still plenty of ways they could mess up this game. I'm usually all for a remake changing and adding new things. But for Metroid II, this can be a very risky thing. What if the spider ball can't crawl on all walls and is only limited to metal paths, like in Metroid Prime? What if the beam weapons stack now, won't that make the game way easier? And what of this Other M style physical and reactionary attacks?
    Now just to be clear, I'm not skipping the game. I'm buying it day one, if for no other reason than to support the series with a sale and signal that I want more Metroid. But I'm just saying, I haven't been more hyped and worried at the same time for a game since Dragon Quest IX.
    Also, I don't want to nitpick, but games like Shantae are more similar to Zelda 2 than a Metroid game. Which by the way, Zelda 2 needs a remake more than any Metroid game. Maybe if Samus Returns sells enough, Nintendo might consider it.

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +1

      +maxis2k if I may clear one of your doubts. The trailers indicate that the Spider Ball does seem to work on every surface like in the original game from seeing the trailers (since the walls samus was climbing had no special surface)
      As for my comparison with Shantae, you are right, i was referring more to how some of the game's power ups feel Metroid inspired, as well as the backtrack/endings on clear time and percentage

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад

      Well I guess its a matter of practice? I usually write my scripts as things I would say normally so it flows like it were normal speech when I read, also I leave notes on the type of voice I want to have (be it whisper/serious/excited/etc)

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +1

      Sometimes when I'm working on my errands/daily chores, I like to 'talk to myself' about the video, as if I were saying it to you guys (or recording) this helps get me comfortable with what I am going to say, therefore it flows naturally when I go through the script (little tricks I learned from voice acting)

    I feel like Samus Returns may be the most important game for the franchise since Metroid Prime...
    MSR like Metroid Prime and Fusion is a big chance to revitalise the series from it's drought...also being a remake it's going to bring new life to an old classic, and one of the most pivotal moments in Metroid's history...
    This game also marks a new direction for the series since it not only brings Samus back on a 2D plain but also looks to improve upon the established formula...
    Metroid Prime 4 is the game we wanted, Metroid Samus Returns is the game we needed...

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад

      I completely agree, I think a new 2D game is what we needed to remind us of how good a remake can be outside of just updating an old game, and seeing the return of the series that started a whole genre of games

    Okay, I have a theory, that it seems NO ONE is talking about. The new amiibo are very interesting, don't you think? Especially that baby metroid, the one breaking out of its glass canister.... wait a minute..that didn't happen in Metroid II. That didn't happen until Metroid 3 (Super Metroid).
    I think that this game will have either a DLC of a remade Super Metroid, or it will have an extended section, somewhat akin to what Zero Mission did on the GBA. Why else would they design that amiibo that particular way? The image has almost nothing to do with Metroid II, but it SCREAMS of Super Metroid. What do you all think?

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 лет назад +2
