I can has join?

I loveses Metroid, me. My favourite game is Metroid Prime, my favourite Beam is the Hyper Beam from MP3 because it is super-powerful, and looks cool, my favourite non-Beam move is the Grapple because it is just so useful, and what I think to be the coolest looking move is the Screw Attack in Metroid Fusion because it looks awesome.

Hi, and welcome! Added your name to the list, I see you got a banner. All set then. I personally prefer plasma from MP1 over hyper beam, due to energy drain and such. But I agree, Hyper Beam is awesome.

What I think could have been a lot better about the prime series was the walljumping.
They had something good with that, but killed it by putting it in in like 3 places, total. Bleh.

Eh, the wall jump system in ALL of the Primes was crap. I like the Other M model better, but it isn't as versatile as the Super walljump (but much easier to pull off).

Oh, I made a new Metroid theme! I think I'll try to make something for this fanclub at some point.

Liking the new theme AppleFreak. I vote "What's past is prologue" to be the new series motto in general. 'Cause it's very true dang it. Feds have gone from good guys to chaotic neutral anti-heroes at best, the Pirates are feral, the new found ambiguous canonicity of the Prime series (I still think they are, Nintendo seems to not think so as much on press releases), and basically everything about Samus, Mother Brain and Ridley.


Also, you guys remembah me? Right? (had to be done)

THIS. Samus's Voice Actress: Jessica Martin. Seen her in plays here in Seattle, and she is definitely an actress to look out for.

I watched that video; I had already inferred that she was talking in a flashback but now there's proof.

Other M probably just suffers from bad writing. Unfortunately, I might have lost my copy and I was only about halfway through the game, so...

so...find it? :P

Yes, of course you can join. Lots of prime discussion fun. Prime was one of the better games in the series, even though it broke away from the sidescrolling of previous games, and skipped out on walljump and screw attack.

On another note, I once again find myself wondering if we will ever see a remake of metroid 2.

Actually, yesterday my brother came across the game case that had Other M in it, as well as a bunch of other games. It was stuck behind some drawers in the last place we would think to look.

I'm not sure about a Metroid II remake; it's kinda the black sheep in the series. Although it introduced some elements into the series that would be brought back numerous times later on, it certainly wasn't the best. With the original Metroid, well that started an entire series. I figure the most we'll get out of Nintendo is a 3DS rerelease.

Also, this.

Its always in the last place you look, obviously >p

I wouldn't mind a MII remake, since I haven't played it and its not easy to find. But I don't see it happening anytime soon...

Apple, your theme = Awesome

Also, that voice actress does look a lot like a young Samus. Or is it just me?

I for one HAVE played all the games. And if there was a black sheep to the series, it was fusion, not metroid 2. The only thing about metroid 2 was its graphics and music, as well as the gameplay being a little rough. A remake would remedy this, and it would be a more than welcome addition to the series. Fusion on the other hand, tells you where to go, all the time, and takes away exploration and substitutes it for difficulty. I still like fusion and other m, despite how they do this, but they just arent the same as the gems of the series. And that's my thoughts on the matter.

Nice, good to have an expert opinion. Did you read the manga?
I am curious about the reason why the metroids where created by the chozo.
Since in the manga the chozo discovered in a galaxy far away somekind of energy (or liquid something, I forgot) life-form that was consuming stuff and coming closer, therefore they created metroids to absorb it. We still haven't seen this thing. Unless it was Phaaze, but I doubt it.

Metroids were created by the Chozo because of the X Parasite threat. I guess it was just a minor design flaw that they were efficient murder machines. [/understatement]

Really? I did not know that. Wait, X parasite? That sounds familiar....
*checks wikipedia*
Ah, Fusion... I haven't played that one. -_-"
O wow, that has indeed a lot of potential for a sequal.
So in the end, Samus is a human who is genetically modified with Chozo DNA and eventually even Metroid DNA.
Efficient murder machines or not, Samus thought baby metroids were cute XD

Lol...cute, yeah. But anyways, yeah, the metroids were created to prevent the X from taking over the universe one day. And when they were wiped out, they nearly did just that. I have read the manga, yes. I know the entire plotline, as far as it has been released. I do find myself hoping for a fusion sequel someday, but no more X. They canonically should all be dead now. So they better get something else going on. >.<

Well, I read an interview with Sakamoto sometime prior to Other M's release that said originally they were working on a post-Fusion game, but due to the fact there wasn't any link-up with the main storyline, it seemed to be very tacked on. So Other M was created to link the two sections of the story together. He also said that the next game would certainly be post-Fusion.

I'm not sure how many of you guys are into speedrunning, but I figure I may as well make a 'best threadwide times' spoiler on the main page.

I'll have a few to contribute, and if any of you has a better one, let me know. (Please be 100% honest about this though. Thanks. ^.^)

I figure this is a good way to make this place more interesting. Please be good losers though guys, no getting upset if somebody beats your record. That's just how it goes. If you don't feel like you can handle that, please don't participate. I feel sure you guys would all be cool about it though.

I'll put up the top 3 for each game, and you guys can go ahead and submit. However, you may only hold one position per game, to give other people a position as well.
