I know it's probably because I'm old (25) and bitter, but I think it says less about modern gaming and more about kids just being stupider.

Which came first: the stupid kids or the stupid games?
Still under 3 hours, so nice one. And hey, someone had to go first!
If we're competing, my best any% is 42 minutes :3

Stupid games started in 2005 with the 360. Stupid kids started around 2000, I think. Like, the really stupid ones that were raised on Yo Gabba Gabba and Shia LaBeouf.

Other M can't be held accountable for a generation of gamers unwilling or unable to place their trust in intelligent game design. For most people, obstacles with abstract solutions, whether logical or illogical, are deemed to be a frustrating, nonsensical waste of time.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the NTSC and PAL versions in an emulator. Both start at exactly the same time, but the discrepancy grows bigger the longer you watch it.
This video also shows how to leave the bomb room
, which is only possible in the PAL version (watch between 7:40 and 8:20).
It's easy to see why many people don't notice a difference at first, because the music and Samus' movement speed are identical, but unfortunately everything else runs slower, which effectively will result in a longer play time for Europeans.

Yeah, pretty much everyone has changed.
A popular setup round here seems to be run on ZR, shoot on Y and jump on B.

Controls take a few minutes to get used to. After those three minutes, though, you'll be golden.
But if you're gonna change them, the best setting is probably Y for shoot, B for jump, and A for run.
I walljump so easily with the stick, I have a bit more difficulty with d-pad, wouldn't have thought. I was climbing that wall instead of going to Maridia but as I couldn't shoot the ceiling I went down to explore a bit but didn't remember you couldn't come back, too bad for the sequence break.

I personally remapped ZL and ZR to L and R, respectively, and Select to L. The Z buttons are more comfortable to me than the regular shoulder buttons.

I mean, doesn't it take more effort to post dumb shit on Miiverse than it does to... press down twice?

Pauly, you will be forever remembered in the annals of some thread on NeoGAF.

Also, I'm not sure if Sir_Dave_85 is playing Super Metroid, or being sodomized.

It's Wii U's built in service that allows players to post to a shared forum, including screenshots, and ask for help or share tips and so on.

Can I browse this nonsense on a computer, or does it have to be through the WiiU? Because these pleas for help are hilarious and I want to read more.

You can use Miiverse on a computer at https://miiverse.nintendo.net/ assuming you have a Nintendo Network ID.
Yeah, I know, they should just let everyone browse. :\
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/ you need a nintendo network ID to browse properly though.
Edit: Damn it guys!

Hmm... I'm guessing it's different than a Club Nintendo ID, because why the fuck would you just have one account system when you could completely blow it?
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to do without the Chronicles of Pauly.
Usually I end up mapping A to run, B to jump, Y to shoot, but I'm trying to play it the default way just to see how that goes. ZL and ZR are aim down/up since that's where my fingers are. L is mapped as an extra Select button so I can switch missiles faster while R is the VC Menu.
Edit: LOL at those Miiverse pics

Y - Shoot
B - Jump
X - Switch Item
A- Item Cancel
ZR - Aim Up
ZL - Dash
I remapped L and R to ZL and ZR on the VC menu. If you really want Aim Down (you really don't need it), map it to select, and then switch select to R through the VC menu.

Guess I'll have to wait for Fusion and Zero Mission for some 2D Metroid on WiiU.
Some of these must be parody jokes....
I wish this could be come a meme of some sort. But yeah, kids these days.....sigh.
I weep for this generation. ;_;
But seriously, getting stuck at the beginning?
Oh man...they are not prepared.
They're into a world of pain

Did a nice little sequence break to fight Phantoon, involving a Shinespark and impossibly well timed jumps that dropped at exactly the right times. Then spent like ten minutes fighting him because I used his flames to heal. One save state usage, because I got bored of trying out impossible jump and didn't want to try that Shinespark again. Saw it would take me right back to that shinespark and loaded save state.
God damn it.
Lord help them if they ever have to figure out how to wall jump.

I know you're kidding but there's more important stuff to hate, like how long it takes to switch between rooms as opposed to Fusion/Zero Mission and the forced timing to use the Space Jump *grumble grumble*
