I'm not sure if this is threadworthy or not, so apologies if you think its not.

In the "Highlander 2" treatment thread, the repeated mention of a particular game inspired me to reinstall my GIF software for the first time in ages. I made this, and I hope some Metroid fans enjoy it.

IT HAS METROID SPOILERS.

 

[UFRA]

Does 56k even exist anymore?

And if so, why?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Samus is OP.

NERF!

 

[Typographenia]

Brilliant gif!

Standing ovation!
Nice work, Mama Robotnik.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Other M being in there ruins it.

 

[Bulzeeb]

haha definitely saw that coming

 

[Jigsaw]

don't get it

 

[G-Fex]

did she panic at the sight of Ridley?

Damn you team ninja, damn your hides.

 

[Inferno313]

Haha. Although, shouldn't have Ridley also gotten a point for escaping from Samus with the baby metroid? If not a win for Ridley, it's definitely not a win for Samus.

/nerd

 

[Hypatia]

Did you HAVE to remind me that Other M exists?

 

[apana]

Metroid should be rebooted.

 

[Poyunch]

Oh yeah sort of expected. But what's with the order of the games in the gif?

 

[Salsa]

that's actually one of the few parts i liked about Other M's cutscenes and such

i thought it was an interesting take.

come at me

 

[Dark Schala]

Wonderful gif for Metroid. Good work. The ending was masterfully handled. :lol

With that said, where is my 25th Anniversary celebration for Metroid, Nintendo?

 

[survivor]

Does this mean we can start expecting to see your awesome gifs on a regular bases from now on?

 

[bloodforge]

Haha, Nintendo needs to pretend Other M never existed.

Metroid should be rebooted.

No.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Oh yeah sort of expected. But what's with the order of the games in the gif?

That's the official timeline.

 

[LakeEarth]

Yeah, that's what the GIF is trying to say. After kicking his ass half a dozen times, NOW you're gonna panic at the sight of him?

 

[Rocket Punch]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wait. You're trying to tell me Other M couldn't even do the Ridley bit well? D:

 

[kliklik]

What gif software do you use?

 

[Salsa]

Yeah, that's what the GIF is trying to say. After kicking his ass half a dozen times, NOW you're gonna panic at the sight of him?

here's the thing, due to the system's capaibilities we dont know what samus was "feeling" in the previous games, we just filled in the gaps with our imagination (the way Metroid SHOULD be handled anyway, as we all learned). Given the timeline he hadnt fought him that much yet, so maybe she was always scared of him.

 

[Electivirus]

Alright, that was pretty dang funny.

And now to get out of here before this devolves into yet another Other M "discussion".

Edit: Heh, nice timing.

 

[AniHawk]

That's the official timeline.

then why are the prime games there

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Is there an canon reason why the big pterodactyl keeps coming back? wiki says pirates clone him but what's the point?

 

[Peagles]

Hahaha excellent GIF. Loved the ending!

 

[Hot Coldman]

then why are the prime games there

The Prime games are canon

we are not doing this anihawk, we've been through this too many times

 

[Akai]

I think it's quite normal to be afraid of something that ate your parents right in front of you and keeps coming back to life every time you kill it...

Is there an canon reason why the big pterodactyl keeps coming back? wiki says pirates clone him but what's the point?

I assume it has to do with his innate ability as a fearsome leader that can lead the Space Pirates...

 

[shadyspace]

Ugh.

Ya, we should at least be grateful they didn't have her get up on a chair and squeal until a man came and killed it for her.

 

[RagnarokX]

Did everyone miss the part right after that where she kicks Ridley's ass?

 

[bloodforge]

I think every time Other M is mentioned, this needs to be posted: http://moonbase.rydia.net/mental/blog/gaming/metroid-other-m-the-elephant/article.html

 

[No_Style]

I had forgotten you're part of that group.

 

[Boney]

heh, the ending was nice.

shhh you're ruining the moment

 

[shadyspace]

Yes. Some of the best writing on video games ever period.

 

[SykoTech]

Saw the ending coming, but still laughed. 129WTFBABYBABYBABY.

Nice job, Mama Robotnik.

 

[TheUnknownForce]

I can hear the bawwwwwww from here.

IIRC, Sakamoto saw the Prime games as a side-quest, a semi-non-canon series as it were. Yeah, the game probably should have been before Super Metroid to make more sense, but it is still somewhat realistic from a PTSD reaction.

Though it would have been good to TELL non-Japanese gamers about the whole incident regarding Ridley, so they people actually understood why she was freaking out to begin with :/

But you can thank the reaction to this game as the reason we won't see another Metroid for 3+ years.

I hate Other M and this is still one of the dumbest things ever written.

 

[Poyunch]

Riiiiight. I forgot the Prime games were before Super Metroid.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Saw that coming a mile away. Damned Other M QQers.

 

[Femmeworth]

Dat compression. Ending was amusingly unexpected.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

She already had a meltdown in the manga.

The fact she has another dozen of years later is even more dumber.

 

[Poyunch]

Saw that coming a mile away. Damned Other M QQers.

Yeah the bossfight was really fun too. :/

The game had a solid combat system. They just need to build a better Metroid around it. I had way more fun dealing with enemies in Other M than I ever did in the Prime games.

 

[Boney]

He's doing it all wrong!!

:/

 

[MuddyDonut]

I was waiting for the Other M appearance since the gif started, I was not disappointed.

 

[Poyunch]

:/

Watchu talking about? :/

 

[The Xtortionist]

"Spam direction, dodge, auto charge, shoot, repeat" isn't a good combat system imo. It looks slick as hell but the player isn't really doing anything.

 

[mclaren777]

Does 56k even exist anymore?

And if so, why?

Grandparents.

 

[Alrus]

But she still destroys Ridley and it was one of the best boss fight of the game.

And do we really need yet another Other M hate thread?

 

[Bomber Bob]

lame
