Metroid talk.

[Sektor]

Yes Talk about it and such

I think its fantastic, i mean i love super but this is also great, and the wiis suspend features comes in so handy with it! :P

You can get a little lost in it sometimes but mainly its amazing.

Anyone else downloaded it?

I think the game has dated badly to be honest a lot of the rooms are repeated over and over again.

not downloaded. have it on Metroid Prime.

first, the level design is bland and pales a lot compared to Super Metroid. but lets not forget this is a NES game, so it's not that bad.

second, you're thrown into a big open area and don't know where to go. this one also has no map.
makes it difficult to navigate in these non-detailed vast labyrinths.
this and the nonexistent story gives it a much more sense of loneliness, tension and hopelessness.

furthermore it's more difficult than any other Metroid game.
yes, it seems to be designed that you get lost all the time. ^^

i'd say if you dont care to die a hundred times,
and if you're good in memorizing bland big 2D-landscapes and searching every corner in it,
plus tons of gun'n'run action this one's for you.

I'll be downloading it when it gets released over here.

I'm going to download it so maybe i can finally finish it from start to finish and not just use the justin bailey code. With the VC's ability to pause the game at anytime and go back to the wii menu it eliminates the need to write down a password everytime I want to quit for the day. I'm probably going to download some directions from gamefaqs though because it is quite the maze.

You know, it's been since the 80's since I played Metroid. And back then this was the cream of the crop to me.. I played it through w/o any codes or cheats & loved every second of it... slowdown & all..

While I'm sure it won't stand the test of time particularly well, I'll pick it up once it's released Stateside. It may not be something I'll play religiously but for $5, it's worth another play 2 decades later..

I remember it having a very large landscape & while in this day & age, it may seem particularly difficult w/o a map, I'm sure my memory will serve me well. I was floored w/ how much I could remember from the original Zelda 20 years later. I finished it in no time & got all the hearts, items, & secrets w/o using a walk-through or anything. It's almost spooky at how well I could remember that stuff not having played it in so long..

i am trying to find a map online

I know I won't be downloading this version, seeing how it will run slower than the extra in Metroid Prime (and won't allow to save, either).

Just like happens with the Zeldas already in Collector's Edition, they're now charging money for worse versions of something they gave out for free in the past. At least they could allow you to play in 60Hz, or provide a guide or a scanned map to justify the purchase.

I have the version in Metroid Prime. The game is mad difficult as it requires old-school pioneering skills, but the game is still very immersive on its own merits.

Defeating Mother Brain and escaping Zebes before the explosion is satisfying.
