Super Metroid

[couggod]

I'm going to guess that it will be released around the same time as Metroid Prime 3. Anyone else have any other Theories?

[antster1983]

Sounds likely to me :)

[neuzd]

Justice would make it relased in Europe.......you will have to wait until Prime 3 is out here.

Hope Nintendo is kind as the last time and give us Prime 3 just 5 days later than you.

Anyway, I'm dreaming of Metroid 5 to be the real surprise. Remember Prime+Fusion?

(And I give credit to DesuEx fans just if they played System Shock 2); I'm bad today.

[Sektor]

I love this game, tis my favorite ever XD

and judging by metriod on our vc we may not see this after so long ;)

[hippiecrite]

I can't wait for this game. It was my favorite back in 1994 and I haven't played it in ages. I really wish they would release it already.

[Kevin]

Anyway, I'm dreaming of Metroid 5 to be the real surprise. Remember Prime+Fusion?

Yeah, Fusion was awesome!

[Shortay]

I havn't played this one before, but I love the Prime games and since this is regarded so highly, I'll definitely save 800 points for it when it's released.

[hippiecrite]

Shortay, you won't be disappointed. This was one of my all time favorite games back in the day and I played it to death. Definitely worth your time and points.

[KamikazeP]

I want this game so bad!

[So_Cal_Ferni]

JUST IN CASE READ NOTICE:

NOTICE: if anyone hasnt really played metroid and doesnt know the true identity of metroid please do not read this comment.










i cant wait for it to come out. it comes out august 20 (USA) and i want to see samus again. i love her!!!!:D. i always wandered why they made metroid a women instead of a man. but i think its better this way. but was just wandering why?

[hippiecrite]

^^ Samus Aran is the character in Metroid. The Metroids themselves are the jellyfish looking things in the final level.

[jesse1596]

Super metroid releases august 20th for the vc, its been confirmed by Nintendo.

[Jakurdo]

Her name is Samus Aran, Metroids are biological weird flying things.

[So_Cal_Ferni]

yeah her name is samus aran but most people dont that samus is a women especially those who hadnt played metroid or have played it but never beat it in the time limit to actually see her. so sorry if i confused people by calling samus, metroid. (was typing in a rush because i was at work)

[So_Cal_Ferni]

This is what a metroid looks like. (sorry couldnt find a smaller picture but love the picture)

[So_Cal_Ferni]

FOUR MORE DAYS BEFORE IT COMES OUT IN THE US. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:cool:. ok am good now.

[Mendez]

Yeah, just sink it in!

Lucky American peoples =[

[jesse1596]

FOUR MORE DAYS BEFORE IT COMES OUT IN THE US. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:cool:. ok am good now.

You mean 10 more days, it releases august 27th. Its original release was august 20th but moved it forward a week for what reason I don't know.

[So_Cal_Ferni]

You mean 10 more days, it releases august 27th. Its original release was august 20th but moved it forward a week for what reason I don't know.

will i havent really heard anything about this so far super metroid is coming august 20th (on the VC) and metroid prime 3: corruptions comes out august 27th. (Sorry everyone else this is the US only. dont worry its coming to all of you soon. stay in there.:cool:)

[jesse1596]

Way back in june I think it was the release date was annouced as August 20th but since they then they moved it forward a week.

It's 12:30 where I am, 9 1/2 days to go

[So_Cal_Ferni]

you wouldnt happen know a website or link that you could gave so that it can be confirmed correctly so that i dont get my hopes up monday (20th) waiting for the game to come out on the VC could you?

[Tull]

Way back in june... Think he points at Prime is 27th now and where 20th back in june and pushed back.
Super Metroid still is 20th ;)

[So_Cal_Ferni]

yeah thats what i was figuring. but just wanted to be sure of it.

[flyingdutchman]

I dont know if anybody else is like me and did not care much for Metroid on the NES but loved the one for the SNES.

[Serge.EXE]

Yay! It comes out tomorrow! I'll have to walk to GameStop to pick up some Wii Points though, as I only have 400 >_<

Just not enough to buy anything, of course

This game will be so worth it though

[flyingdutchman]

Ok, I live in the pacific time region, does the game come out on the virtual console 12:00 midnight my time or 12:00 midnight on the east coast which is 9:00 pm my time?

Or does it come out some random time tomorrow :confused:

I want to buy this game right at launch if you have not noticed :)

[Serge.EXE]

I'm in eastern, so it's noon here.

For pacific, i believe it's 9 AM, which is noon here lol.

time zone pwned

[Sektor]

WOW, metroid FTW. Its my fav. game series of all time and super is my favorite from the bunch.

Hopefully we will see it in Europe soon

XD


Also does anyone know any sites i can buy metroid figures online?

Thanks

[Taint Smack]

I downloaded this at noon on the dot. The other two games weren't even up yet, they upload them to the server one at a time I guess.

[jesse1596]

How does it play on the vc? I'm not getting it because i still have it for my SNES.

[Sektor]

How does it play on the vc? I'm not getting it because i still have it for my SNES.

Prob plays like all other snes games, and yes i know what u mean, i don't think it will feel the same on the vc and the classic controller, i have it for snes and i am still getting it XD

I should work well however as the classic controller is mapped out the best to snes games.

[jesse1596]

Why are you bothering? if you have it for SNES already why use the 800 points, why not save the points and use them on something else?

[Sektor]

Because super metroid is my favorite game ever, thats why,also i would like the convenience of not having to dig my snes back up.

[hippiecrite]

Why are you bothering? if you have it for SNES already why use the 800 points, why not save the points and use them on something else?

I have it for SNES too. My SNES is buried in my basement somewhere and I don't feel like digging around for it, I have other responsibilities and don't have hours to waste searching for an old video game console. It's much more convenient to spend $8 to play a game that I love on the Wii anytime I want.

See, this guys the same =]

It's times like these i wish i Imported a USA console.

edit: WTF is there a Advertisment in my post for?

edit edit: now its gone...

[jesse1596]

Okay you guys are different from me then. I have my snes hooked up and ready to go anytime. I bought a multi system hookup a few years back and it works great.

[Chief89]

Super Metroid has got to be my favorite game ever. It plays great on the VC...

And yes, I own it for the SNES. But I won't be taking my SNES to college, so this is perfect for me.

[Sektor]

Yay someone else who thinks its the best game ever!! :D

[jesse1596]

I think its great too, I just started playing it again this morning on my SNES. I beat the chozo statue and got the morph ball and morph ball bombs before I had to turn it off and get ready for work.

[Shortay]

I've never tryed this one before but because of the great reviews it gets I can't wait to download it if it finally comes out tonight :) My one question is about the difficulty. Is it hard, easy or in between?

[jesse1596]

it's in-between the first time you play but then it gets easy to beat over and over again. I don't think you will get it in europe for awhile, I think october will be "metroid month" in Europe.

[Shortay]

Yep that's what I'm afraid of too, but maybe we'll get Super Mario Bros. 3 at the release of Super Paper Mario...:)

[Sektor]

This better come damn soon i tell you, its really annoying me and i want it:(

*crys*

I just hope for this week:p

[Mendez]

I seriously hope we get it this week.
I've got Friday off, and I can afford points now, so it'd be ideal.

[Shortay]

Come on NoE, USA already have this AND Metroid Prime 3 and it isn't too much to ask for to get this. We haven't had a REALLY good game for ages, and I'm not even sure that I'll get Bonk 3 as I already have Bonk 2. Plus, I have 3200 Points saved up and I really want to splash all of them, starting with a game with high quality :D

[kelvingreen]

I don't know, I find all of the Metroid games obscenely difficult. :(

[jesse1596]

The only really really hard metroid game is the first one, beyond that they are very beatable. zero mission and super metroid have got to be the easiest ones unless you count pinball.

[Jakurdo]

The first one I ever played was Fusion. And well, from what I gathered, thats the most accessable of the bunch, since it has a very mission-esque based gameplay. Contrary to the just find your own way gameplay of Metroid 1 and Super Metroid.

[Shortay]

Once again, European VC Enthusiasts are left, (well I assume) annoyed. I really don't understand this, it's not a big ask.

[jesse1596]

Yeah for sure I mean come on super metroid>vegas stakes, its a no-brainer

[Drake]

The PEGI just rated Super Metroid:

Super Metroid (Action/Platform)Nintendo of Europe GmbH
Nintendo Wii - Virtual Console

I think we can maybe expect it the 14th of September then.

[jesse1596]

good news for you guys.

[Sektor]

The PEGI just rated Super Metroid:



I think we can maybe expect it the 14th of September then.
[/size]

Why 14th?

Why not this friday?

[yoshi175]

Why 14th?

Why not this friday?

Well it'll be Sega week next week.

[Sektor]

Well it'll be Sega week next week.

Ahh.. i see... thanks for that

[Shortay]

So there's a great chance that we'll finally get Super Metroid on the 14th?! Yesss! Plus that's when we get Super Paper Mario too! :)

[yoshi175]

It might not be then though remember Kirby's ghost trap was PEGI rated a while before it came out...

[Shortay]

Yeah, I won't get my hopes up... :(

[HiPNoTyQ]

so this was the last of the 2D metroid games i completed (kinda funny, i played Metroid 2 on the GBA when I was a kid, so that counts) and i have to say after completing it, it truely is the best of the 2D Metroids (IMO) just because how big it is, took me 6 hours on my first run through, I got lost a couple of times but I'm much much better at playing Metroids now after going through all the GBA ones (like knowing to shoot and bomb walls and look for breakable walls and stuff).

I just got a question tho:
is it actually possible to get stuck in a metroid game? i've yet to find an area with no way out

yes, it happened to me on metroid fusion and I had to stop playing
I mean properly, stuck i went somwere I wasn't suposed to go yet

[Jamin]

About Metroid 2 do you think they would ever remake that game for the DS or something like they did with the first Metroid game?
Btw I'm new and like to say hi to everyone

Hi!
I just downloaded this game 2 days ago and I really like it. t's the first metroid game I've ever played and the series seams pretty good. I guess now I'm gonna try and get Metriod Prime 3.

[neuzd]

As I know, there's only one place where you can get stuck, and it's in Fusion.
yoshi175 may have needed to restart his game, but getting inside that conduct means he had to make a couple of nice tricks, so at least he should feel an elite player (ok, that's nothing related to the shinespark of the secret message, but it needs you to master some tricks).

@The shoemaker
While Retro did a miracle porting the perfect feeling of Metroid into the Prime series, they're anyway 2 different series. I can't tell you one is best than the other (while I'm crazy for 2D) but keep in mind that if you really want the most similar experience to Super Metroid you have to get the GBA games.

[HiPNoTyQ]

oh yeah another quick question, im not sure if this is super metroid related or more related to zero mission. I've learned most of the cooler moves in the game, wall jumping, shinespark jumping and stuff, but how do you chain shinesparks? also, how do you exactly control the shinespark jump? usually i just charge up and press every button on my controller madly and hope he goes somewhere, usually i just have to go up so its not a huge problem, but there have been some instances where i was getting ****ed cuz he wouldn't shinespark left/right or in a diagonal direction

OK, I don't think it's possible in Super Metroid.
The shinespark works in quite different ways, I'll try to explain all without getting confusion......hopefully.

Everything starts with RUN and STORING your energy pushing down (if you can't do this, well give up!).

Normal: Push jump at neutral poisition, just after she hops, push the direction where to jump. (not the 3 down directions though).
Jumping: If you push a direction simultaneously to jump, you will somersault in perfect Samus' style withouth Shinesparking. To SP while jumping, and so SP at different heights, push DOWN and JUMP, then choose your direction.
Chained: When already SPing if you hit a slope Samus will start running again, and so giving you the possibility to charge again. (Actually I'm not sure if chaining is available in Super, and from office -where I am- I can't check gaming sites right now...)

Additionally in Zero Mission you can even SP while in ball form, all you need is the High Jump upgrade. It's used in the same way as the normal SP.
(I'm not sure, but I don't remember this to be done in Fusion...)

Keep in mind that after charging you have a small amount of seconds to perform your Shinespark, or you'll lose your stored energy.
During this time, Samus will blink and she can perform every normal action she normally does EXCEPT jumping in place which would activate the Shinespark.

[EDIT]
I'm adding a link to a great Metroid site.
Metroid2002 (http://www.metroid2002.com/)
Full of how-to-videos, mainly oriented to speedrunning, so all sorts of crazy tricks are explained in detail with footage for a visual reference.

[The shoemaker]

Well I saw the preview for metroid prime so I might get. I'm probably gonna rent it first.

[slangman]

Super Metroid is easily my faverite 2D metroid game, shame us europeans have to wait a month or so. Can't wait to download from the VC. :-D

[The shoemaker]

Ha I played it again last night and I find it HARD!

["L"]

Yay, Its Out In The Uk!

[The shoemaker]

Man I've been stuck in this one place for a month, and I have no clue where I am.

[Shortay]

Finally! :D

[Joxe]

Am I the only one who got german subtitles in my Super Metroid, or was it like that on the original?

It's just in the intro anyway so it doesn't bother that much. Really good game, just found the sprint ability ^_^

[neuzd]

...don't know the original but if you prefer you can change them to French; I'm going to do it, because those strange long words distract me, I know French and I can 'see' the text without fearing it's a Space Pirate in disguise....(got a fervid fantasy, I admit it).

What's the "sprint ability" anyway?
I played just 14 mins before going to bed yesterday, but I know the game and settings quite well. Maybe you intended the 'Dash'?
Space Jump, Spring Ball, and Speed Boosters are something that may be what you are referring...did I really missed an entire new ability during these years of Super Metroid studying (articles, speedruns etc. but NO direct play)?

["L"]

The German subtitles are in the orginal PAL version, you can't turn them off, but you can swap them for french subs, if you want. xD.


I only played it for 15 mins last night, I got it like dead on the dot it came out, but i was sleepy, and since now i've walked the dog, got some butter from the shops, I can play Metroid, till 4:30!

Please someone tells me that me and "L" are different persons!

[SegaFan]

So finally I got to play this game, I'm a couple of hours into it, it's very good. A lot easier than the first Metroid so far though, but that's to be expected.

I was going to ask about the subtitles, but you've answered my question.

[Smart Patrol]

Too late Nintendo, too late. If you'd released the game a few months ago, when I didn't have Halo 3 and the ridiculously addictive Puzzle Quest to keep me active, I'd have gobbled up the excellent Super Metroid. As it stands, however, I'm just ****ed off that you gave the game to America months before we in the UK got it, and that you left it until the middle of the 4th quarter, when all the great games are usually released these days, to let us have it. Far too late, Nintendo.

[yoshi175]

Those German/French subtitles are damn annoying, why do they make us have them in the UK:evil:

[neuzd]

Those German/French subtitles are damn annoying, why do they make us have them in the UK:evil:

UK = ALL Europe ???

I'm fine that they may have put an option for disabling the subtitles, but it's not a graphic adventure and the text is limited to the beginning.

[yoshi175]

I'm fine that they may have put an option for disabling the subtitles, but it's not a graphic adventure and the text is limited to the beginning.

No I'm in UK and I don't know what they have in the rest of Europe
and yes there hould definetly have a disable foreign subtitles option, it also clogs up the screen when they are on

[SegaFan]

It's not as if it's a text-heavy game so I don't see that it's worth complaining about.

-_- sprint and dash are synonyms and refers to run fast, sorry for not seeing the name for my first playtrough and that it was over a year ago since I last played Metroid Fusion. I'm deeply sorry for have mistyped an ability with its synonym. :/
Well, just got the gravity suit now (did I type it right?)

[The shoemaker]

Ok Im sorry Im useally a guy who figures things out but I need help in this game. I've been stuck in the same place for 2 months now and its driveing me insain. I'm pretty sure im near the beginning my mission is find the metriod larva and I just got the ability where it allows you to jump a bit higher. I have the missile and the bigger missile. Im in a weird place where there are some rooms where when you go inside the air hurts you. There's one door I cant open. And there's another door when you walk in you have to run or the wall will close on you.(its more like a poll) and I keep running but theres another poll that closes but I cant make it in time. how do I get through? does any one have a clue what I'm talking about? If you do please help.

[Sektor]

SUPPEERR METTROIIDD!!!
YAY!

im so0o damn happy we have this, yet now its on the vc its as if i have nothing to look forward to :L



lo0l


Sek

[neuzd]

I admit I don't know if this is superfluous....
Everyone who is stuck somewhere should seek for hidden passages.
Every Metroid game has plenty of them (at least starting from Metroid II).

I'm saying it may be superfluous because I already found a lot in Super Metroid and I just beaten Kraid.
It seems to me that all of you (and someone in the chatbox, yesterday) have played more than me, so it is difficult that you didn't notice them.

Sorry, I'd really like to have an answer for all of you, just give me some weeks (yes weeks, I don't want to finish it too quickly!!!) and I'll be as a talking 100% walkthrough.

Sorry anyone for the double post, I just figured it out where you are.
You have to take the Varia Suit now.
Don't bother about the shutters room for now. I guess you need the Speed Boosters.

Where's the Varia anyway? ...er.....I already don't remember, but if you didn't beat Kraid go for him. Look at the map and go towards Maridia on the right of the screen-map. It should be somewhere there...or after that fight....

[Shortay]

I'm really enjoying this so far, just got the Super Missile. There's so much exploring that it gets really complicated at times though!

[SKTTR]

i dont know for sure, but it seems EU got an enhanced version of the PAL Super Metroid with less borders.

And also, I noticed the game info in the Wii Shop mentions it has only English screentext but my version has German/French/English screentext just like the original.

Usually, if a game has German screentext, there is no message about the language at all.

There was a German/French version of Landstalker too, but the game info in the Wii Shop tells you it's English only. I don't know if that's correct, since I haven't downloaded Landstalker.

[Sektor]

I have beaten kraid and am making my way though, this is truly the best game ever :cool:

["L"]

**Progress, may be spoilers?***



Got the Ice beam, I've just beaten the boss that was in the wreaked ship, and restored power to it, got the Gravity suit and saved. Anyone got the hidden spazzer beam upgrade yet?, I have. also have about 60 missiles, 15 super missiles, and 10 power bombs, 7 energy bars( i think), and I have the Grapple beam, plus the Reserve energy tank.






--------

***End***

[neuzd]

LOL, got the spazer just after Kraid, but I think I could have taken it even before!

[SKTTR]

Yes, I got the Spazer just after I got the Charge Beam. It was before I got the High Jump Boots or got to Kraid.
You can get it with the Wall Jump.

["L"]

Just got the Screw Attack, that damn clawfish boss, was a ***** to battle, till i figured out the easy way to kill him. Headed deep into Noifar(or whatever it's called) and got greeted to a nice tune(yay magmoor caves orginal tune), got just under 100 missiles, about 30 super missiles, 20 super bombs, X-ray, Space Jump, and Plasma beam, I completed one row of engery tanks, and got one more, forgot the number, man getting 100% must be tough, I'm sure i've only got about 75% - 80%.

I'm talking on the basis of other Metroid games, but if you just completed 1 row of energy, and you're probably the same way half about missiles and power bombs, well that would sound more likely a 50% by now.....

In my first Fusion run, I thought I found a ot of items, also I had great experience on ZM so I was really confident in my ability, but then it was a mere 69%.....

Remember that a lot of items are accessible only with your full powers, so be ready to travel again ALL Zebes when you're at the top of your powersif you wish to get above 80%.

Doing a 100% is not that hard. It can be long. It's just losing time (quarters of hour) on some difficult room to get an item, repeat and rerpeat and repeat....
You just have to know the game very well. You have to know where to look and what to look for.
I don't know if SM is the same as the GBA games (I think so, though), but from your second run on, in those 2 games you have addictional infos on how many tanks there are to be found in any area.
That's the clear invitation to complete the game.

Can't tell for sure, but it may just be nothing.....
If you press R and go to the Status screen, the R button shows....nothing. Exactly like L in the map.

So, I think it's just to switch the pages. Don't know for sure, anyway!!!!!
