[VeryGooster]

I should continue my Super Metroid playthrough.

Also, Nintendo should release Metroid: Zero Mission as another GBA game for the 3DS alongside Fusion.

 

[Sadist]

And this is why I love GAF

_O_

Metroid is awesome.

 

[Electivirus]

Ordered the Prime Trilogy and that should be arriving next week.

For now, I'm gonna continue my playthrough of Other M. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far.

 

[Grisby]

I'm not the biggest Metroid fan but I just wanted to say nice job on the thread. Will give it a proper read tonight!

 

[dr_octagon]

Amazing thread, credit to Metroid Killer to taking the time and effort for putting it all together - the food is awesome.

 

[V_Ben]

What an amazing tribute. Wonderful stuff.

 

[fernoca]

Wow, amazing thread Metroid Killer!!

The only current "Metroid memorabilia" I have is the "art thingie" that came with the Prime Trilogy. Love the series though.

Spoiler

like Other M too.

 

[Metroid Killer]

Now that we are on the second page I can dump these gifs(1 more image on page 1 and gaf would be a Zebes'ed!).

Nothing special just metroid related.

On behalf of the team, thanks for all the nice comments. It's great to see gaf care so much about this franchise

 

[Draft]

A maligned series that contains some of the best games ever made.

Super Metroid and Metroid Prime are two of my favorite games, and arguably the greatest games on their respective platforms.

The rest of the series ranges from pretty good to absolutely terrible. Metroid works best once a generation. Give it to the best developer available and let them create a masterpiece, then the IP goes back on the shelf.

And for Christ's sake, no dialog, no speaking characters, no Samus out of her suit (until the credits roll,) no cutscenes. The scanning in Metroid Prime is as much text as the Metroid experience can support.

A solitary, silent journey through a beautiful and hostile alien world is Metroid. This focus is what makes Metroid memorable. Cramming a bunch of extra shit in ruins the experience.

amazing thread

started other m the other day,feels like super metroid,like it!

 

[Dystify]

Time to replay the series!

 

[Typographenia]

What an outstanding thread.

You definitely did the Metroid series justice, and it was a pleasure to be included. Thanks for the hard work for a series I hold quite dear.

 

[Fou-Lu]

I love Metroid, but if I'm being entirely honest I've only ever finished one game in the series. (Zero Mission)

I disgust myself...

I have played every game though..

The OP was great, I read it from beginning to end. Can't get the speedrun world records link to work though.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Wow, what a thread. Fantastic job Metroid Killer. I can't wait for the inevitable Wii U Metroid game. It's going to be beautiful. Hell, Metroid Prime 1 still looks great.

 

[DEO3]

This thread is the best thread.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Thanks a lot for this thread.

 

[Bisnic]

Well, at least you deserve your username.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Oh wow, nice thread! I'm in the proces of playing Other M, and I do enjoy it. It's going to take a while to finish (I just started Fallout NV Old World Blues and Xenoblade is already incoming), but I think I'll finish it this year.

Also looking forward to Fusion on 3DS

 

[Tadale]

Best OP in GAF history. Did more justice to the anniversary than Nintendo would have.

 

[Boney]

Listening to the tracks you guys picked, and I'm completely floored away by your artwork guys!

 

[PinkCrayon]

claimed.
great thread. i absolutely love the metroid series. prime trilogy being my all time favorite games.

 

[Homeboyd]

That is some great fanart, GAF.

Seriously. Great OP.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

I read the OP. Truly fantastic. You're my hero. But this thread is not complete without the best Samus Aran artwork ever, made by Ivan Flores (deviantart).

 

[Disguises]

Beautiful OP. Damn Nintendo for forgetting :'(.

 

[Magicpaint]

Wow, great job. I love this series so much. Still my favourite just because of the Prime games, Super, Fusion, Zero Mission and the original for starting things nicely.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Amazing OP.

I will share my love for this franchise with a fanart I made a while ago:

 

[Shiggy]

Great thread and great art, not only NeoGAF likes it

 

[Amir0x]

cleaned up four posts that jumped in before you were finished with your absolutely nuts-o opening post.

you definitely do indeed do what Nintendon't holy shit

 

[Metroid Killer]

Can't get the speedrun world records link to work though.

SpeedDemos are doing some charity runs this weekend, I guess the site can't take all the traffic at the moment. The links should work sooner or later.

Whoops forgot to add Toru Osawa to the profiles. I'm sure Nintendo's ninjas are on their way to me now ;_;

 

[Unicorn]

Just came to say that the OP is GODLYKE

Wow, great OP. I've always loved Metroid and it's one of my favorite game franchises of all time, so it's pretty awesome to see something like this.

The Metroid series has been on wobbly legs for a little bit now but I think they could get back on track by doing a Zero Mission style remake of Metroid 2. I've tried to get into Metroid 2 a few times now, but every time I get completely confused by the lack of map and I give up (I'm weak I know). I'd really like to see a modern, improved version of this game.

Ordered the Prime Trilogy and that should be arriving next week.

What a fantastic acquisition. Enjoy three of the best action adventures of the past decade.

 

[EatChildren]

I dont know why I had no idea this thread was in the making, the Metroid junkie I am. Very impressive work by all, and shame on Nintendo for doing nothing to celebrate the date.

hmmm

Yes? And?

 

[Takao]

So all the Metroid video games take place in the same universe? Lol that's almost as believable as Takara Tomy's "All Transformers series take place in the same universe" scam.

Well, considering the name's 'Samus Journey ' it was kinda obvious.

 

[Electivirus]

What a fantastic acquisition. Enjoy three of the best action adventures of the past decade.

I've played all three before, but it's been a looong while. Trilogy cost me a pretty penny, but it was well worth it.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The best video game series of all time. Period.

 

[Instro]

Huh?

 

[Tiktaalik]

If there's any Nintendo IP that has the potential to end up on the forgotten trash heap along with F-Zero and Mother it's unfortunately Metroid (and if you read the recent Iwata Asks, Star Fox). Surely with the success of Tomodachi Collection there must be a lot of internal pressure for Sakamoto to work on a 3DS version of that next.

 

[Franchuzas87]

Well, then re-enjoy the first two with the great new controls

An OP worthy of such an excellent series. Great job.
