Hello fellows Metroid fans! This time I made a lot of editing with those fake covers but...gosh...I love Metroid so much and I want Ravenous to be a big suces and to have more Metroid content!
Here my wish list of what I dreamed of after Ravenous 😄 share yours in the comments!

- Metroid Prime Echoes Remaster
- Metroid Prime Corruption Remaster
- Metroid Collection (included: Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Other M, Zero Mission, Samus Return)
- Super Metroid Remake
- The two prequel manga translated (English and to other countries like mine, France)
- A Metroid Encyclopedia with all artworks and lore details
- Metroid Warriors (A huge tribute to the franchise with a lot of characters from all the games)
- Metroid RPG

BONUS :

- Metroid Book compilation : a book with Comics and the manga adaptation of Prime 2 and the RPG book Metroid Zebes Invasion Order.
- Metroid Fusion Remake

Every other X-Infected monster up until this point turns into a core upon defeat. Is it ever explained why SA-X is the only one to do this?

I'm not gonna lie, the way that people always put Metroid 1 & 2 together, when talking about how they didn't age well and newcomers should better play the remakes, I always assumed they would be similar in that regard.
But after completing M1 for the first time (with a romhack for SNES that removed all the crazy lag and added an ingame map) and now having played M2 through NSO, I feel like Metroid 2 is actually a huge improvement over the first game.

I completely understood what people meant, when they say M1 didn't age well, the vanilla game lags almost all the time. For example as soon as there are too many enemies on screen, which happends constantly.
The lack of a map makes this game a nightmare to navigate, especially because the developers copy and pasted so many rooms over and over again. Which leads to some very strange places, where a layout was copied that originally had hidden blocks, which were hiding items, but after being copied now just have hidden blocks that lead to nothing.
The controls actually felt completely fine in my opinion, considering it was the first game and also on NES. Overall I had a pretty good experience with the romhack and I think I would've had a fine experience with the OG, if the game didn't lag all the time.

Now with M2, I assumed it was gonna have the same flaws as M1, but to my surprise it acutally fixed almost all of the problems, that made M1 so unplayable for me.
I don't remember the game even lagging once, which already made the experience so much better. The screen was smaller but I never felt like it was to close. The enemy design and platforming was obviously specifically made for the small screen size, so it never became an issue for me.
And the craziest one for me: You can actually navigate through the game, without the need of a map. Don't get me wrong, the lack of a map still makes the game a little worse, than it could've been if it had one, but they actually designed the world with unique locations and room layouts, that help you remember what each area is and don't confuse you as much as M1.
The controls also felt a little smoother, which is very nice. On top of that the setting and atmosphere were really good and I love the plot of the game so much. Especially when you think about, how the events of the game tie into future games.

Long story short, if you tried M1 like me and felt discouraged from trying out M2, I honestly really recommend still giving it a try. I had a really great time with the game and it has become one of my favorite Gameboy games.

Someone is streaming Super Metroid as his first game and he's done me a treat by playing it on an Original CRT and SNES console. I'm seeing just how gorgeous this game is, the COLORS, the DETAILS, the background and how it moves! I absolutely love this and I unfortunately never got to play this way. Man old sprite games especially this one on original set ups is just unbelievably pretty. Sorry if I'm gushing BUT IM GUSHING DAMN IT 🥹🔥🔥🔥💎💎💎🔥🔥

GEM SCANNED!

My article here was written after interviewing PatchDev, the developer behind the AM2R Android Autopatcher. For anyone unfamiliar, AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) PatchDev has been working on bringing AM2R to modern Android devices. His Autopatcher lets you turn your own original AM2R game files into a native Android version, without needing a PC. He's even created a dedicated dual-screen edition for new retro handhelds handhelds like the AYN Thor, Retroid Pocket Duo and Anbernic RG DS, with an interactive map and other game information displayed on the second screen while you play.

What I found interesting was just how much effort he's putting into optimizing the game for lower-end hardware. We talked about the challenges of getting two screens working properly, some surprisingly obscure performance problems he's uncovered, and how he's managed to get AM2R running remarkably well on the modest RG DS without sacrificing too much of the original experience. There's quite a bit of interesting technical stuff in there, alongside the story of how a simple desire to replay Metroid on his phone turned into something much bigger.

It might be kinda niche, but I hope you enjoy it here :)

Hi folks! My name is Armia!

I mentioned wanting to cosplay Samus (specifically her Metroid Dread suit) on stream and OishiiO made fanart :D

What do you think?~

From LestatMods!

I made this back when Prime 4 was releasing, thoughts on the game aside I love samus' design so much and I hope people here appreciate my attempt at it! :)

In Metroid dread we got a return of Kraid. Is there a boss you would like to see return? I am a big fan of Super Metroid, I would really love to see a boss from that game come back. Crocomire, Phantoon, Spore Spawn, Troizo, Draygon, Botwoon, not Ridley. Please be Crocomire, he did nothing wrong.

The reviews have been eh..

She ended up looking a little stout, that head-to-body ratio is something... But it has it's own charm, reminds me of the artwork for some of the early games or Zero Mission. Wasn't going for one design in particular, moreso an amalgamation of designs for the Varia suit in particular.

This thing was a pain in the ass to build. it's going to be an even bigger pain in the ass to pose since I forgot to group all the parts properly.

Hello fellow Metroid fans! I want to make a post to give a shout out to the mod team of this Metroid subreddit. I'm pretty new to this fandom but I have seen that the mod team always act when someone has a bad behavior toward someone else and they know how to make a distinction between someone who disagree politely with someone and just people who want to be mean. And they are very respectful about the artists work, my last post about fan arts of Nora/Samus was deleted because one of the artist I shared the work had previously sent a DM to the mod team asking not to have their work share here. The mod let me know that he loved Nora and the arts and took the time to explain the reasons why the post was deleted. I think it's very great to have a mod team be respectful of artists wishes and to be very fair when it come to moderating a subreddit. So here you go, I made this little picture for them and wanted to write this message.

Was it just something the devs decided?

I think it's pretty cool but it's not often characters have things like moles or freckles unless it's specifically for a specific story beat it characacher

I really love the feel and atmosphere of Dread and my excitement at the new Ravenous has re-ignited a fire in me to actually play and beat Dread.

My only problem is I feel like I am hilariously bad at it. I've killed that first damaged EMMI but I'm onto the 2nd EMMI zone now and that that damn guy has destroyed me soooooo many times.

I'm not a person who has a natural gift for video games, I'm much much better at the puzzle/ exploration side than I am at the jumpy-shooty side of the game. So I knew going into this that I was gonna be facing an uphill battle; but boy-howdy was I not expecting to suck this bad.

So any tips? I find that it often takes me a couple attempts to land some jumps correctly, which is usually how the EMMI catches me lol. Though some of that is also caused by the panic that those zones induce....

My aim is also not great, but that's always the case for me and I'm used to having to compensate for that when I play any game that requires some amount of aim.

My hope is that you can impart some wisdom into my that will help me unlock this game for myself. but if the genuine answer is just "get good" you can say that too.
