even if he is a "new" ridley, the genetic memory makes him the same Ridley that killed his parents. From Zero to Super there would have been also a new Ridley, we dont know it, but maybe it was like that how the pirates clone him, having to pass through all the three stages of evolution.
In this sci-fi world we now memory from dead people and creatures can be passed from body to body.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but how are the missiles in this game any different that in the Prime games? I'm not against using them in first person but I am against that being the only way to use them. In some situations, I think it would be okay to force people into it as a gameplay break as long as it was done right, but I think they should let you use them in third person as well. That way people could switch if they wanted to.Boney said:

R&D1 x Vanillaware. Someone just has to stick Muramasa under Sakamoto's nose when he's contemplating Metroid 5.Scrow said:

I got to the credits today with 48% completion. I really enjoyed a lot of the last few sequences that I played, and the game has been fun overall. I'll hold off final judgment until I get 100% of the items, but I'm definitely glad I didn't skip out on this game due to some of the naysayers.

Sakamoto and SPD Group No. 1 is all that is needed. Especially if we see Metroid 3DS.

i'd go so far as to say that missiles have always been fairly uninteresting. the most interesting thing they do is open new doors and reveal secrets.
Well,Boney said:
When Samus enters sector 3, Adam tells Samus to explore where she can with her current equipment, but she is forced to go through the lava rooms. Maybe he didn't want her to go that way. Still doesn't make much sense, though, since he never tells her not to go that way and maintains radio contact throughout sector 3 to authorize ice beam and varia suit.

Ridley likely retained his memories, since he kept attacking Samus specifically. Though that's my take on it. Ridley should have been dead for good after Zebes blew up. He was extremely unexpected to Samus.

I mean, I can deal with them wanting some heat room areas from a gameplay perspective, but at least tell me the Varia function has to charge up or something. It doesn't really bother me, and I exaggerate how much the authorisation thing bothers me on here, but it's one of those little things that bothers me when you see it in games that clearly had the time and budget to be inventive.

At least with Fusion's "authorization" system of getting data and stuff, the federation was actually withholding stuff from her because they actually didn't want her to become too strong. I can buy the idea that you don't want to blow a hole through the entire station, but there's no harm in having the ability to use a grapple beam or Varia suit.
So I finished it today.
I really liked it. Definitely not as big and epic as the Prime games, but a great Metroid nontheless.
I really enjoyed the action-heavy approach, and the wiimote controls were pretty novel. I never had a problem with first person missiles- it's certainly different but now that I'm used to it I'm a pro. The auto-aim and parry system are quite brilliant and very rewarding. Once I understood how to dodge in FP mode, I practically never got hit.
My only real issue was the story. I never cared for any of the characters, and the
was awkward and I didn't know what was going on.
I also really disliked Anthony. I don't know why, but his character really felt like it was out a kid's movie and did not belong in a Metroid game at all.
I'd really like for them to make a sequel for this on 3DS. I think the camera style would lend itself beautifully to a 3D experience, and the D-Pad controls would carry over nicely.
Overall a great game. Very intuitive and a gameplay style that is completely fresh. I'd recommend it to any wii owner.
I'd give it an 8.5

It would have made more sense if we actually SAW sector 0 blow up rather than just float away....

Varia Suit, I agree, but grapple beam grants her access to new areas. At the beginning of the game Adam is very adamant about the secrecy of Federation business, so I guess he wanted to get a better understanding of the situation before letting Samus poke her nose around the whole ship. Eventually he was forced to authorize her abilities since everything was falling apart.AniHawk said:

I felt like the auto-aim was mostly fantastic. It worked so well with most of the combat design.

The fact of the matter is in comics/movies, Batman only sees Joe Chill once after he kills his parents.
In the movie, he reacts to the extreme and tries to shoot the man before he is shoot to death, and even then he freezes up in horror at the monster being defeated.
In the comics, he teams up for him.
If you want to use Batman, check out the clip of Return of the Joker, I posted a few pages back. where he actually does freeze up and even says, "No!" when he sees the Joker return from the dead.

Just got my copy from Amazon today. Hopefully my $26 is money well spent. 
Yeah that's the thing that I think the game could have done better. I would have said this earlier but a certain incident having to do with a certain user got me distracted and preoccupied.
I think it would have been much better if the game had literally let you explore your past. As in play through the major parts of her history (at least the ones that had action). It would have helped create a connection with Samus' past (if you hadn't read the manga) and especially with Adam who we're somewhat forced to accept as someone important to Samus because the game tells you he is.
I don't think the mixup in gameplay would have made a big deal either (major major end-game spoilers)

because you get to play as Zero Suit Samus for a short time in the post-game anyway.

Yeah all the batman stuff was what got it in my head. That game did an amazing job with it and if we could get something like that in a metroid game just for one little section it could be awesome.

That would've been a great way to explore her past without ever really losing control. I kind wish they would've done something like this now.

Just started the game FINALLY. Things I already don't like about the narrative/dialog: the overuse of "Adam" and "Baby" along with phrases like "of course" and "as a result". They're using it like fucking crack! Both Adam and Samus reek of Sakamoto's brain! They're almost the same person I swear.
It sounds sooooo watered down. Sakamoto does NOT have the writing chops thus far to convey what looks to be an interesting story.
