I...

I can't.


...Um. For once, I'm not sure what to say!

Seriously, I didn't expect such a post from you :lol

 

[Goldmund]

Is the door below a red one? If so, then I can see how they're stuck, if they don't know they're supposed to use rockets. They should know how to "crawl", though, as you need the morph ball ability to even get there; to get out, you have to fight the Chozo statue for the bombs.

 

[Yoshichan]

I honestly am not in much surprise, really.

Hahahahahahh

 

[tsab]

And then some complain about Nintendo implementing Super Guide :/

There's nothing else to use...

,,How do I beat this guy'' is king.

But seriously, this just shows how much this awful generation has damaged gaming. I'm glad at least something like Dark Souls has gotten somewhat of a mainstream success, among all this dumbed down shit for ,,hardcore gamers'' (aka 15 year old dudebros that praise all the words of the Dorito Pope)

Haha, y u so mad?

Did you never get stuck on a game when you were younger, ever? It was called a Prima Guide.

"y cant metroid crawl?"

Maybe she's a relative of Megaman?

Or her suit is.

 

[super-famicom]

Man, I am laughing so hard. This thread is gold!

 

[Bassmastergeneral]

Oh my.. These made me smile.

 

[Brera]

Fucking hell this is depressing.

Looks like modern gamers dont have the skillz we used to.

 

[Staab]

Never laugh at these people, REMEMBER HOW IT WAS BACK THEN !

We got Pauly to respond!!!

bunch o people who couldn't even take the time to buy a .30c game in that thread

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I think it's not just kids. People have changed, mainly because of internet. In the past you would try to figure things out yourself. Or look it up in a book if you really couldn't solve it yourself.

Now your brain is trained to ask Google or people online seconds after you have a problem.

Yeah, it annoys me when my nephews do that when they're stuck in a game. I remember playing on the 3D zeldas with them and after getting stuck on one of the block moving puzzles I had to tell them not to look up the solution. Instead I took my time to figure it out, as that is part of the enjoyment.

The checked box, right? My post doesn't seem to show it, maybe it only knows if posted from a Wii U?

I haven't played the game in years. Isn't this the first red door you're likely to go through? The path to the morph ball itself should be blue doors only. Maybe they assume the red doors have to be unlocked and then turn blue? We're quick to consider our assumptions facts, and we're quick to blame the environment for our poor interaction with it.

 

[Jinfash]

Super Metroid's Miiverse is starting to overflow with this (as of today) meme. Good jon, internet.

 

[frankie_baby]

Only shows once you've played it for an hour

 

[Cuburt]

Super Metroid has been praised for it's level design for years and now people are trashing it?

I don't know if most of you guys thinking these are all serious have played the game recently but having played through it for like 30 minutes or so today, many of these are trolling. You can't get to that point if you don't use the morph ball and if you continue down and beat the Chozo statue that attacks you, you get the bombs. It give you the bombs before you get to the blocks and tells you how to use it.

 

[Eusis]

That does make it a weak indicator. Especially as the most experienced players won't even blip there.

 

[Taruranto]

I hope Nintendo doesn't seem them, god knows if we need more hand-holding.

 

[Robin64]

The checked box doesn't seem to show if you post in a region that isn't your native one, either.

 

[nubbe]

Now they will think Other M had too few tutorials and cinematics

 

[WrenchNinja]

Goddamn stupid kids.

 

[Taruranto]

Man, can't wait for AlttP to get on the Miiverse.

Given the current state the Zelda series is, it's going to be... quite a sight.

 

[Fried Food]

you people should be glad that others are experiencing classic games. This can only be good for the industry.

Also, if you had a miiverse back when this game first came out I'm guessing you probably would have used it for advice.

"what do i do i'm a buny, halp me pls"

You know, when I was very young (4 years old or so), it took me a while to figure out how to enter an action icon in Mario 3. I pressed every button on that damn controller except for the A button. I recall even begging with the game to let me start the level...

By age 7 I was able to beat Zelda II, Battletoads, and Myst, so come at me bros.

 

[Ushojax]

The only thing that genuinely stumped me in SM was having to use the power bomb to break the tube. Nintendo even repeated the trick with the dumb use of the power bomb at the end of Other M, in similarly obtuse fashion.

 

[Canis lupus]

Rofl this is gold, really need to check Miiverse out, pff why cant we non WiiU owners register

 

[nubbe]

I remember calling the Nintendo hotline once or twice for Super Metroid

Well we didnt. We used our goddamned heads to figure out a problem.

 

[Fried Food]

Well we didnt. We used are goddamned heads to figure out a problem.

missed the point

 

[Neo Child]

Well we didnt. We used are goddamned heads to figure out a problem.

and when that didnt work we asked friends who had done it/used a guide.

god damn this thread. never have i seen gaf act more superior

 

[Takamura-San]

Not sure if joking...

 

[Maxrunner]

This is heartbreaking. The best part of Super MEtroid, is for you to discover things and experiment....these kids just look, no offense, a bit retarded....I wonder what would they do at the climbing and glass tunnel "puzzles", if you can call them that...

 

[WrenchNinja]

The point that you cant change the past or reality?

The only difference between these kids and kids of the pre-internet world is that they can easily post their nonsense for all the world to see.

Trust me "y can't metroid crawl?" has been said to many a CRT tv over the years.

 

[vag 2.0]

to be fair a lot of self-identified 'core gamers' were really vocal about being fucking terrible at dark souls

 

[Qurupeke]

They should play Castlevania 3. "why belmont always dies???"

 

[WrenchNinja]

Not sure if joking...

Im posting as 6 year old me who got Super Metroid for the first time and didnt run to the nearest person for help. My spelling wasnt great!

 

[Takamura-San]

Is good to be part of a community that completed super metroid without pausing a second to figure out the mechanics.

 

[nkarafo]

I'm surprised so many where stuck at Maridia tube.

Spoiler

I mean, its a GLASS tube... the first thing i did was to drop a normal bomb to see if it breaks. And when i got the power bomb the first thing i thought was "hey, maybe that tube will break with this". It was so obvious.

 

[hao chi]

The worst part is the intro talks about the last Metroid being in captivity. Did they think Samus was arrested, and the pterodactyl has helping him escape?

I didn't have a Ph.D. in physics when i was 12

 

[FDC1]

Do this old games come with a digital notice when you buy them on Nintendo store?

 

[Lapidus' Beard]

Can't wait for Battletoads to hit the VC!

 

[beastmode]

Playing this for the first time too. Game was going swell until this dummy

I thought I'd been very thorough so far so I kept at him, including one try that felt like it went on for an hour. Then google told me that inventory upgrades for the bigger missiles are a thing...

Was fairly obvious to me too, though I think it would have benefited from having an enemy or two crawling outside.

 

[ape2man]

This game is a stupid sci-fi Castlevania rip off anyway.

JOKE?

I never had an issue with it either. I saw it, knew it was glass and thought 'I wonder if this will do anything..."

EXACTLY the same case with the glass pipe in Metroid Prime.
