They..really weren't.
Many people here seem to have forgotten that when Super Metroid was originally released, Nintendo operated an actual telephone hint line for kids (and adults) who couldn't figure out how to proceed in a game.
So... there have always been people who have very basic trouble figuring things out. It was around the beginning of the SNES era that Nintendo began experimenting with various in-game tutorials too. In fact, they may have been one of the pioneers of it.
Don't get me wrong - these posts on Miiverse are hilarious. They're also proof of concept that people are using Miiverse for what Nintendo intended, lol.
I remember my friends trading hand-drawn maps and telling each other all the secrets (I wasn't a part of this, as I said I've never played it) in middle school because they weren't able to finish the game in a vacuum.Immensely sad. Yet another demonstration that the era of challenging games is over.
I remember hours of skill-building with games like Super Metroid and Super Mario World.
Kids today. Tsk, tsk.
Is this why we haven't had a 2D Metroid game?
...damn kids these days. Do what all of us adults do and spend hours searching until either figuring it or out or giving in and checking online FAQs so we don't show how dumb we are.
It's weird that so many people in this thread think a game telling you how to play is a bad thing.
It's not about asking for help. It's about what they're asking for help on.
Actually, that's a valid point. A new Metroid player would see every pit and interpret it as a pit in Mario -- not knowing they can actually drop down and continue exploring.
Not Super Metroid but...
Those 3 Yeahs just make it worse.
Probably his friends..
Wait, why are people stereotyping "modern gamers" based on a few Miiverse posts? ._.

Is this really that different, just with lots of typos?
To be fair, most of them are probably little kids. Maybe if we had Miiverse (or other social networking) back in the day, we would've immediately turned to it for help instead of thinking about it for 30 seconds.

Kids today are growing up in an entirely different setting than the ones prior. It's a culture where entertainment is thrust in to their faces and attention spans for media dwindles because people only have so much time.Immensely sad.

I don't think many kids own a WiiU atm, its a Nintendo diehard platform right now. I'd have to assume it is most just people reusing the old jokes that used to get posted on the Super Metroid gamefaqs board from years past.

Because they are using the service as it was intended.I suppose what surprises me is why are they asking on Miiverse instead of Google searching it?
And yet one of the most successful games in recent times bases its entire structure around those three points. Pretty sure if you asked 10 random kids whether they have played Minecraft, at least 5 of them would say yes.- Exploring
- Figuring out controls and their use
- Thinking process while playing, deduction capacity
All of those things on the verge of extinction now. Modern gaming consequences are sad.
Wait a few days until they get to the crumbling block bridge.
And then a week or so when they get to the Maridia tube (which is stupid bullshit)
Can someone recommend me a good blind walkthrough of Super Metroid? I want to see other people discover the magic of that game!
This thread made me realize I need to turn on my Wii U.
Is it still 30cents?
Personally I would just be too impatient to wait for a response when I could easily find it on my own in less than a few minutes. Miiverse would be like a last resort.Because they are using the service as it was intended.
Miiverse wasn't created solely so people could +Yeah! fancy drawings.
Same here.Hahahaha, oh god. I never really had a problem with that stage but I know it's infamous for causing confusion.
