Metroid on the 3DS

[HYRUL3]

I think it should just make it so that it's a lot harder to actually enter the Queen's stomach. Make it so that you need A LOT of energy to survive, so that you can only attempt it even once.

That might actually work...
on hard mode in Other M, it's VERY difficult because you have to move very quickly because it only takes a few seconds to kill you completely

It doesn't help that by the time I fought the Metroid Queen I had completely forgotten I had Power Bombs in my inventory. Stupid Authorization Scheme.

But yeah I definitely think it could work. Even add some more bosses, like Zero Mission did, more wildlife, etc.

Make it A LOT easier to tell where the hell you are going since Metroid II wasn't able to show as much detail, so most of the tunnels looked exactly the same. Ugh.

You actually have more time in Hard Mode to lay a Power Bomb than in Normal Mode. The only reason I thought to use the Power Bomb was because I remembered the speed-running tactic in Metroid 2.

A remake of Metroid II is so easy:
- Pull out the camera
- Give me a map
- Give me those awesome power-ups from other Metroid games
- More than 4 colors
- Add some kind of cinematic at the end where she puts the Baby Metroid in a tube.

Basically.

Anyone have any idea how much time passes between the end of Metroid II and Super?

I wonder if the two bonded during that time period.

[KingBroly]

I'm guessing something like a week.

I'm guessing something like a week.

Sigh. Samus shouldn't become obsessed with it after only a week. Lame.

My sister got obsessed with a hamster in less time than that.

It's an imprint thing. I think instead of the imprint being on the Metroid, the imprint goes to the first thing it sees. So the image of Samus wasn't imprinted on the Baby Metroid, but the Baby Metroid was imprinted on Samus. But it might go both ways.

Your sister's not a stoic space bounty hunter who makes a living killing hundreds of Space Pirates.

Who knows. We don't know much about Metroid psychology or anything like that.

If you were killing a certain deadly species for several years, and one of said species mistakes you as it's mother, then it doesn't matter if you are a stoic bounty hunter or an emo, you WILL get obsessed with it in a week or less.

...that makes no sense.

If I were killing that deadly species for several years, and one of said species hatched in front of me, I may shoot it as soon as it emerged from the egg.

But she didn't do that. She watched it hatch and decided to spare it. Why? Why does she become so attached to it?

If they had answered that question they could have put it to one side and Metroid Other M probably wouldn't have been so bad. The whole damn thing is caused by the Baby Metroid and it's only seen once...

Please no... This was the reason why Zero Mission felt like just playing Super Metroid in the original Metroid world. If anything, give me new powerups. ROS was a very unique Metroid game and I don't want it feeling like Super or any other Metroid game for that matter.

[CapCom]

She was out of missiles?

Other M tried to explain this by suggesting it was an imprint thing - the Baby created a bond with Samus the instant it appeared. A connection was made subconsciously. How much of it was the bond and how much was Samus is anybody's guess. I thought she might have explained it away by convincing herself she could sell it for a bunch of money, and if they didn't want it, she'd just kill it. But I don't know why they kept SOMETHING THAT COULD DESTROY GALACTIC CIVILIZATION ON AN UNDEFENDED SPACE STATION. You'd think they would have at least paid Samus to guard it...
