Super Metroid proves modern gaming is crap...

[GameMaster600]

oh that one

i didnt say i didnt like the n64 game im just highlighting what i dont like about it

those fucking boss battles

I honestly see where you're coming from, especially with no pausing (WHY!?) but they're really fun, in case your problem is that they take too long, have you tried using combo moves? C-up, C-down, C-up, A = repeated punch when enemy's close, that's the one I use most.

That may have some truth to it as the whole reason I wanted a SEGA was for this game.
The SNES one was not like the arcade.

I bought my SNES because SF2 came out for it. Had to wait over 6 months until Genesis got it. Once it did, sold my SNES for cigarettes, gas money, a 6 button controller and $50 to buy sf2ce. No regrets.

Wait, wait . . . you're SURPRISED that some dumb kid thought the title of the game was the character's name? . . . I mean, it's funny, but not shocking at all.
Ever heard of the whole "Halo is a pretty cool guy" meme? That's exactly the sort of thing it's poking fun at.


On a serious note, as a little kid in the early/mid 90s I used to think Zelda was the player character's name on the NES. That's actually one of the more common ones iirc. (honestly don't remember when I realized the truth . . . no major revelation, more like "oh" "oops" -probably reading the manual or something like that)

More than one of us (myself included with the metriod name) were guilty of mixing up the main protagonist with the title name
of the game. Now I know some "hardcore" posers are going try to deny this but we all know better in advance. Hell, If I hadn't seen the cartoon I bet I would have thought Zelda was links name too.
In fact I bet a lot of kids actually named him that in the first game and ended up starting on the second quest before anyone else (at school) even knew about the second quest. Leading to many arguments about who really had the game and who was a liar, little did they know.

30 cents for this game on VC is a steal. I don't own a Wii and the SNES version is so fuckin expensive for a common old game.

Well, Metroid has an unskippable intro where it makes it obvious that Metroids are some lifeforms that your character hunts. You still don't know the character's name but at least you know its not Metroid.

[Segadream]

Yeah but I was talking 8 bit Metroid and Zelda.

Super Metroid proves that we spend more time complaining about games than actually playing them;that when we like a certain game , we will do our best to prove our point and when we don't , we will find a thousand reasons of why that game sucks;that we're so focused on what the "experts" says and how we over-analyze a game that we forget that video games are primarily made for having fun, a good time.

Repped for great justice.

[Drakon]

How!? Legend of the Mystical Ninja is an amazing game!

Oh it is, but there's so many better games on the snes.

Really though people were this stupid back when super metroid was new. It's just back in 1994 it was harder to spread your stupidity publically over the internet, it was just laughed at by your local friends instead.

I think this is more that Super Metroid generation proves that the modern gamer is an idiot rather than the games being ass.

Imagine what's going to happen when they have to Shinespark or wall jump...

They don't have to though. I know wall jump is not needed to finish the game. Not sure about shinespark but i think only the speed boost running is needed, shinespark is only useful for 100%

True, but there are areas you can get stuck in where shinesparking and wall jumping are required. Not to mention they will probably see that one missile tank in Maridia and want to know how to get it.

Well it's honestly just my opinion, I said it's my favorite, wait *checks*, oh, no I didn't, sorry. Yeah, I could have phrased that a bit better, it's my personal favorite game on the SNES, not the greatest game on SNES, I see where I made the mistake.
