Now you can beat the newly unlocked original Metroid.

I already have it on Virtual Console on my Wii U. I had beaten Ridley when I lost interest shortly after. I suppose it's still there. I beat Mother Brain on Amiibo Tap, though, so I feel like the game doesn't have much left to offer me.

Awww yeah, finally managed to get a run without saving (this is on GBA, but the Wii U release motivated me to keep playing).

(Around 48 minutes real time)

Now if I can just learn to do AWS right, not screw up everything in Chozodia (including the escape spark), get a better Charge Beam Worm pattern, and refine tons of movement, it'd be alright.

Think I'm gonna take a break for a while right now, but the next time I play I wanna try to get 100% again. Haven't done that or low% or hard mode since the game first came out. I never even got the fast 100% ending lol.

Beat it today. Really liked it, not sure I'll try getting more of the items I didn't grab, and I doubt I'll really give speedrunning a try, but maybe the itch will strike me. The post Mother Brain stuff feels really tacked on but it was fun, so I won't complain.

The post mother brain stuff threw me for a loop. Haven't finished the game yet, but I like what they tried to do here and love the concept behind it all. Feels Fusion-ish. I died a lot. But it was cool crawling (Metroid can crawl!) through shafts and shit while being chased by space pirates. Just got my gear back and annihilated those bastards for their deeds.

I have one complaint. I know this and Super Metroid take place on the same planet, but the bosses and pacing and scenario feel identical in many ways.

Well, the game was fun but this Super Missle bullshit has got me ready to be done.

My favorite handheld game of all time, now on my HD TV.

What Super Missile bullshit?
