Alright, I love metroid. I know you all love metroid. Even those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about. You would. I know you're out there, metroid fans. This thread is for you.

So this is the place for all things metroid. Game help (In spoiler tags) bragging(tone it down, remember, probably everybody else has done the same thing at least once :P ), speedrunning times, hacking discussion, videos (links please), and art (links preferred).

You aren't alone! -raises hand- Hard core Metroid Fan Boy right here. It's the only fandom of mine that rivals pokemon.

I've played and beaten all but Metroid II (which is dang hard to find!). And Other M isnt so bad if you've read the Metroid Manga and understand her backstory.

 

[RASENCERO]

-Raises Hand-

Awesome
Metroid FTW!!!
I've got/played zero mission and Metroid Prime I,II,II
currently replaying II
I've read the Metroid Manga, something what all metroid fans should do, and so I am planning to buy Other M. but not yet.

Nice to see someone else who's read the manga. Other M tweaks it a bit actually to fit the story... But remember the chapter with the Raid on K-2L. That's all Ill say!

 

[NidoKingdra]

Resuscitation time. I sorta lost track of time playing other M -guilty face- Anyway, I forgot to mention hunters in the OP. But it is my least favorite...so not a huge surprise. Working on prime 2 and 3, and planning to start metroid 2 soon. I have numerous times, but my moron brothers keep resetting it. Bleh.

 

[RASENCERO]

lol XD

How is Other M? I heard its awesome
I haven't bought it yet...
Not sure when I will. Probably after my next exam :)

 

[TheAppleFreak]

Ohaithar
I'm a huge Metroid fan. I have (and have beaten) the entire Prime Trilogy as well as Super, and I have Other M but haven't played it much.

And I've read the manga (most of it, anyways).

 

[NidoKingdra]

Other M is definitely worth the price. It's pretty much my every dream come true, all bundled up.

I've read some of the manga, but never really got to finish. :( I lost track of the site I was reading it on.

Right now, I'm slugging my way through metroid 2...just beat that first Zeta metroid, which was surprisingly hard.

Lol, nice sig AppleFreak.

 

[sirboulevard]

I really love Other M.

I would be playing Metroid II right now but it's f-ing impossible to find a copy.

 

[NidoKingdra]

No luck on ebay/amazon? Maybe you should check frequently for it.

 

[RASENCERO]

Have you tried downloading searching google for people who offer it online and will send it to you?
Actually, I am not sure if have ever seen/played Metroid II. I did play fusion and one other once as a demo, but I forgot which one...
It was quite some time ago. :P

 

[NidoKingdra]

Hunters is the only one I can think of that a demo was released for.

 

[sirboulevard]

ebay has some, but I prefer buying my games in person. Plus I live in a "high-tech" city that actually has a lot of classic gaming stores. They've been telling me that Metroid II is going through some sort of renassaince among gamers ever since Other M was announced.

 

[RASENCERO]

Hunters is the only one I can think of that a demo was released for.

It wasn't really a demo, I played it in some stored where it was set up so you could play it a little.

hmmm... maybe I should put metroid II on my to do list XD

 

[NidoKingdra]

Renaissance indeed. I actually had played the game before Other M was announced, but if it makes a comeback, then maybe nintendo will FINALLY make a remake of it.

(Hadn't thought about that kind of demo, lol. What system was it?)

 

[Esp1222]

I'll join. I'm currently playing all 3 Primes on the Wii Trilogy. Love them so far. I read a review of Other M, and it said the game sucked. I don't know if I'm going to try it or not.

Welcome Dark Sceptile.

I say try it. While people moan about the story, the gameplay is solid and feels metroid-y. Plus Manthony Higgs alone makes it worth while. If nothing else, rent it just to try it out.

 

[RASENCERO]

What system was it?

I think it was on the GBA. It was most likely Fusion.

There was a chronological list of metroid on wikipedia, with an synopsis for each game (after the jump). So after reading that I couldn't restrain myself anymore so I watched the intro scene of Other M on youtube.
I must say; Awesome!
It looks amazing and the controls look really well done!

 

[NidoKingdra]

Other M. Not even half as bad as the whiners make it out to be. Welcome to the thread!!

I'm currently playing through all the games in chronological order. On prime ATM.

I did that just prior to Other M's release. It makes the series seem much more co-hesive.
