Super Metroid if it were built on the foundation of Samus Returns... New Super Mario Bros styled wall jumps in Super Metroid... noI guess it's mostly me worrying that they'll remake Super and I don't want that to happen

But it
links prime to the 2d games and I'm all for that.
I agree, this was the weakest sequence of the game for me. Never been a fan of auto-scrolling either. In fact I can't even think of a single implementation, in any series, where I enjoyed or even tolerated it.
I think it was worth it for a badass boss battle.Adding Ridley to the end. Just felt unnecessary and I'm not sure how much time has passed between 2 and Super for him to come back in Ceres Station. I guess it's mostly me worrying that they'll remake Super and I don't want that to happen

I suppose it can be seen as a retcon because it means the last Metroid saved Samus' life 3 times over instead of twice. I'd also like to know why the damn thing flew towards Samus's ship at the end before Ridley came in.
I can imagine a Super Metroid+ on Switch if Samus Returns does well. But I am sort of lost on how it could be improved, outside higher resolution graphics, widescreen, remastered sound. It still plays like a modern game. It doesnt feel compromised in the way Metroid I and II were.Adding Ridley to the end.

Samus's ship looks cool.
People are already finding sequence breaks to let you skip high jump and spring ball.
It may just be my favorite Ridley battle! And those scenes with Samus were wonderful.
I even died quite a few times but I try to play 'classic' and only use the Aeion abilities if they are required.

If you hit an Alpha Metroid at the edge of the screen with your Ice Beam it's a OHKO.
3DS 3D is so weird lol. For me the games with the best 3D is Ocarina of Time and Luigi's Mansion 2

How do you destroy those blocks that kinda look like ice?

You won't get that ability until very late in the game, but it's literally impossible to miss.

So I'm trying to clean up all the areas and get all the expansions in area 1. There's just one I can't figure out. It's under a chozo statue and there's a spot that you can power bomb but under that there's a bunch of crystals. How do you get past that to get to the item? I know beyond that, there's a spot you can hit with a missile but can't find the way to get to that. I have all the abilities that you get once you get the

Samus's ship looks like Samus, who it had imprinted on as its mother
Seems like the best explanation IMO.
If you played the original Metroid II or AM2R, you know the answer to this already.

You're still lacking an ability. A few of the puzzles that involve those crystals can be solved in other ways, but afaik there's a few where you need the ability to destroy crystals.

Nope this is my first time ever playing metroid 2, especially a 2D metroid, looks like I'm still missing something.
Ahh well I'll continue onward to area 7 then. Thanks

The only other Metroid I've ever played is Prime and I love Returns. Feels like a mini Prime.
I think the Chozo Memories lead you to believe it's that it saw her ship as a bigger Chozo protector

Did that sequence in area 4 earlier.
Having a set piece segment like that pop up in the middle of your exploration game was reminiscent of the bell tower part from Mercury Steam's Mirror of Fate, wonder if this was more their idea.
Final section of it was a bit spotty but I'm a sucker for stuff like this.

It's amazing how well this game plays, it's so freaking precise, I can't believe I'm enjoying playing with the circle pad I've despised in so many other games.

This is a dumb compliment but I love how clear the actual text is.
It's just so easy to read in this game.

I beat the game earlier. I'm now running through all the areas and collecting everything I missed. Stumped in a puzzle room in area 4. Can anybody tell me what to do?

Thank you! That's what I was thinking. I've tried twice already, but I guess I've missed!
EDIT: I feel dumb. I was attempting to

I'm really enjoying the how all the systems work together to encourage different tactics based on how much energy or aeon you have and how confident you are with meele attacks. The circle-pad aiming is a treat to me as I always found the old system too restrictive. You still get the tank feel having to dance around switching missiles and abilities but there is a bunch of new and interesting ways to attack.

Just reading that makes me really excited to continue the game 😁. I can't help but guess what it is.

finally Ridley as a final boss tho and i kinda loved the fight was tense AF in my case, sure it makes little sense but whatever

Yeah as much as I think it's kind of goofy, I can't help but enjoy how intense the fight was and well animated.
I like to think of it as a what-if scenario because either way it doesn't add too much important story context.
After getting a sub 4h time i think i'm done with the game for the week, i might try a sub 4 hard mode next.
Simply love this one
2D series for me atm is
Super>SR>Fusion>ZM>AM2R. If you told me a new 2d metroid was gonna be released by the mirror of fate dudes, and proceed to become my second favorite 2d troid i would have laughed in their faces.

You know you can always
slow down time with the Aeon abilities for more time to spiderball up the arms
Same thing applies to the robot sucking in morph ball bombs

ho yeah... i never use these abilites because it's way too easy with them (aside from the obligatory parts for exploration), so i forgot, lol
guess i'll have to do it for this boss at least (it's really only the part with the spider ball, everything else i can avoid reaaaaly easily)

I am stuck in Area 3 with 2 Metroids left and I dont know where to go. Most of the areas are locked off with stuff I dont have yet. Is there something I am missing?
Kain-Nosgoth
Member
you just probably didn't look well everywhere... i remember missing one metroid in this part, and there was just one door i hadn't visited, that i didn't saw, it even was on the map already
Agent_Carnage

I did, all the areas that lead to the bottom of Area 3 are locked off. It feels like I am missing a key item somehere.

possible, just know that you don't need to backtrack to previous area... did you get the

I'm playing on OG 2DS which I assume is the same hardware as OG 3DS, and frame drops have only rarely happened. I'm also locked to 2D though which maybe helps with performance a bit.

haven't noticed any at all, other than the elevator/teleport load screens.
