If it is a component plug, try dropping out two of the three video cables (probably blue and green?); see what happens with only one. It might just be sending a composite signal and avoiding the rest?

And so it begins. The thread wasn't de-railed with a debate about Prime's merits or lack there of, but hey now we can always target the hardware we're playing the game on.

Like mine did. =(
I completely forgot about the
It's been so long since I played this game normally that I'm seeing things I haven't seen in years.
little creatures that show you some 'advanced' techniques in the game, like the 3 little imps that show you how to walljump, and the ostrich thing that shows you the shinespark.

At least one thing has remained the same, I hate that bloody section where you have to wall jump. Something so simple yet I always manage to screw it up and get trapped in there for a bit listening to those annoying fucking animals. I always get a frame where it looks like she'll do the jump and then just fall back down.
Edit: I know it's simple tap the opposite direction, but hold down the jump button. I always either just tap both or press and hold both. It's retarded.

$8 is overpriced for Super Metroid? Do you wear potato sacks with holes cut in them for clothes? They could have packaged this for GBA/DS by itself and sold it it for $34.99 and it would have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. If you aren't willing to pay eight bucks for Super Metroid (and you don't already own it), you might as well just give up the hobby.Scrubking said:
Furthermore...poorly emulated most of the time? God, there isn't a single title on the VC I would call "poorly" emulated. You guys really need to have been there when SNES9x and ZSnes were just getting going. That's poorly emulated. Some of the 64 games have quirks and there are minor sound issues with the older systems that most people couldn't tell the difference on if they tried, but I don't think you can call these games poorly emulated by any means.

As I said you have to hold the jump button to arc higher while tapping the direction button. You spin jump towards a wall, and then tap the opposite direction while holding the jump button.

I'd rather tackle the wall jump any day as opposed to that god damn part in God of War when you have to climb the rotating spike towers of dick cancer. Worst collision detection of all time. Seems like all great games just have one or two of those kinds of moments.

I officially crown this the post of the thread.Y2Kev said:
Also with the wall jump, hesitate on the wall for a split second (as if you're trying to get a good grip on the wall) and it'll be easier to time it that way. If I try and walljump the instant I hit the wall, I'll typically fail but if I hesitate a little it's much easer.

I never did it like that either, I was pressing the jump button on each jump and still pulled it off numerous times. I am all that is man.

Won't stop picking the right nation
You'll see a brief sprite of Samus clinging to the wall when you spin jump into it, and then you just jump in the opposite direction. I first played Super Metroid about six or seven years ago, so I already knew about that trick by then. Wall jumping is great for sequence breaking in this game. Just yesterday I was playing and entered Kraid's lair without the high jump boots.Shig said:
goddamnit. i need help gaf. can't believe how little i remember of this game...
i'm stuck.
here:
that blurry green thing on the left in the second pic is one of those little creatures that "show" you how to wall jump. unfortunately i can't wall jump yet. and i can't go back either. the path on the left next to the save station is blocked - can't jump up there, but that's how i came down here. super bombs don't reveal any hidden panels to drop down to the blue area underneath. i bombed everything :/
damn i'm going crazy

*shrugs* It's a great game and all, But I find myself more engrossed in the Prime games, the original especially. It's definitely the best 2D Metroid though.
edit: jarosh, what do you mean you can't wall jump yet? You're able to do so at the very beginning of the game.

You can, it's one of Samus' inherent abilities. The little animals surely "unlocked" the ability for many players years ago by teaching the player how to do it, but you don't need an item to walljump. Just follow what they're doing jar0sh although it's going to need some patience.Narag said:

Yup. The key is to press the jump button right after you hit the opposite direction.

Yeah, I've been able to get some missile expanisions with the wall jump that you'd normally have to have the ice beam or high jump ability to obtain them.
Wall jumping ftw
Wall jumping ftw
