The NZA Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 right, so i know DoJ, myself and a few others could go on about this game's greatness all day, but i also wanted to point out some of the great ROM hacks for those who'd like to play this game a bit more. seriously, read the first post - there's 5 remakes/re-envisioning of the classic, im sure more here would love to try these out. Ill post back later on whenever i do so myself. that said, its funny how no one doing a Metroidvania game these days (Shadow Complex, etc) cant help but sing this game's praises, its on most top 10 lists ive read from various developers on influence/favorites. there's also a lot of talk about exploits - players who were able to bypass the linear bits by going where they werent supposed to be able to without the right weapon/etc. Really cool shit, and honestly, we'd not have games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night without this one.

The NZA Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 i think there's more to be said...you got guys like the Shadow Complex devs pointing at this and saying its the most influential game out there, i adore it but even i mightve downplayed its importance. ...wait, you bought a Go? why?

gunsmithx Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I havn't yet, I like the idea behind it(yes I've come around to downloading games) but I think it might be too soon for something like this, but hacked this thing would be fantastic. Once they get around to hacking it I'll proabbly go pick one up. But you are right, This was a tremondous game when it came out and influenced so much that came after but it doesn't seem to get as much play as many other influencal games(something I think mario 64 gets as well.) do we even have a thread about these kinds of games? the ones that lay the ground work for so much after it?

The NZA Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 not specifically, perhaps we should. seriously though, you're paying more for less! PSP Go boggles my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Why less? I don't even use the umd drive in my regular psp, easier to buy the game and put them on a memory card. Seriously people get really out of wack over that(I used to) but dling more off steam and watching george do so I'm not so gun ho about physical products anymore(plus at some point it will lower prices, you don't have the mark up needed for retail so some company will try to lower their prices to better compet with the big boys.) We proabbly should start a thread and try to get bish in on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 like a "greatest games of all time" or most influential ones or wha? id also be down for a digital distribution vs physical product thread. i too like not carrying things/less loading times but physical ownership is still highly valued; this system woudlnt bone you for not having any physical PSP games yet, but i do think it might be naive to assume the savings will be passed onto you when a comapny monopolizes its means of distributing games. digital distribution is so blatantly anti-consumer, i just cant get supporting any system that's 100% for it. plus, i could be wrong but i think the screen is smaller. that's a shame.

gunsmithx Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 oh oh I want to know why digital is anti-cunsumer so yeah time to make a thread and I ment most influential games thread, go make them I'm lazy, I'll go check into the screen thing.

The NZA Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 always wondered how guys got through these parts early! there's also a 12 minute speedrun going around, but it's tool-assisted, if anyone wants to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManML Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think super metroid is the untouched virgin of the snes remake. Damn this game is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ohhhhh damn. That's pretty cool. I set my txt message alert to that power up sound a long time ago, I flinched a little every time the dude picked one up. Like when an alarm clock in a movie sounds like yours.

The NZA Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 kind've a long sound for a text though, no? im using "picked up an item in Earthbound" cause it's short, and only slightly annoying when sen/others send like 3-4 texts at one.

Thrizzle Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 In fairness, I probably got stuck at all of those parts. I was also a child. And I fucking figured it out. In a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitant Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I wanted to talk about Metroid and my experiences with it as a child. Those posts, however, have me leaving this thread to come back at another time and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Those posts from nick make me want to cry, plowing through this now and I find I still don't like Meridia all that much, always the place I want to step from the game for a bit.
