| Well, I'm new here and what can I say? I love video games (in particular Metroid) and my love of such has propelled me to try making my own game (a Metroid game of course). I came here through a search for a translated e-manga (again, Metroid) and decided to put my two cents in. Magic is a great game, DDR just rocks, the ending of the fifth Harry Potter book sucked. . . Star Wars was good until they made new ones. . . and my favorite books are His Dark Materials. Oh yeah, Battletech/ Mechwarrior is incredible. I own everyone I play in Super Smash Bros. (Kirby) and Melee (Samus. . .have you gotten that I love Metroid? Good.). Umm... I can keep going. . . Let's try something else. . . I'm 18 and currently attending my community college because I can afford it by working at Giant Eagle. Currently single because it seems that every girl I meet just likes to mess with my head. Current favorite band is Matchbox Twenty (. . . or was it Nickelback?). I don't play any sports because I tend to break, left index finger and right wrist in particular. I can not play any instruments but I can sing (or so my friends tell me). I don't have a car because I can't afford it. I do have (drumroll please) CHAINMAIL MADE FROM POPTABS!!! I think I'm done for now. . . |

| The avatar's there now - big surprize, huh? Anyway, who is that guy in your Avatar? I've seen him in a game called Escape Velocity: NOVA and killed him (via cheating by flying a Krypt Pod) and I've seen him in EGM but I still don't know who he is. | |||

| If you're referring to the web comic with the dancing banana that made the teddy bear's head explode, yes. I will tear it into thousands of pieces and toss it into a blender and hit liquify, because that is what it deserves. | |||

| I just beat the game yesterday and thought it was definitely one of the best Kirby games ever. Not with 100% mind you, but I beat it. I think the fact that it was so nonlinear made it incredible - you could pretty much go anywhere if you had the right abilities. And the thing mentioned in the spoiler tag? Shhh... don't worry about it. It kicks ass. Best power in the game if you ask me. | |||

| Okay, now I'm going to get my two-cents in and all since I am one of these so-called "Metroid fanatics". They are all good games, and one of their themes is that every game has a different formula. Yes, the basics are still there, but they are all set up differently. This might be slightly long so I apologize. The original Metroid was exactly that. The original. The first. Nothing else exactly the same. (and by the way you could sequence break and skip Ridley and Kraid and go straight to Mother Brain). The secret worlds were fun, but unintentional. The second Metroid deviated heavily from the original. Hunt Metroids. Highly original and unique. Again, the secret worlds were fun, but unintentional. Super Metroid is considered the best by many people. Why? Sequence breaking. It was intentional (in most parts), it was fun. It was the first time the idea was widely explored. The glitches were fun, but shame on everyone who thinks that a game is the best thing in the wolrd because of its glitches. You never rate games based on their fun glitches. Fusion's sole purpose was to further the storyline and make it so that Metroids were still around. One of a kind - plot driven storyline. That's why it was so linear. If they left it at "Oh hell, the infant gave its life to save me now there's none left!!!" there couldn't be anymore Metroid games, now could there? Yes, you couldn't sequence break Fusion. Yes, that disappointed several people. Oh well. Get over it. It wasn't meant to outdo Super Metroid. They fixed the glithces. Kudos to them. If you got bored with it, challenge yourself by doing a 1% run. It has replay value, you just have to look for it. Prime was 3-D. I haven't played it as much, but I think it's safe to say that making the game into 3-D made it one of a kind. Metroid Zero Mission was stand alone because of a true stealth sequence and being able to choose the difficulty (for a 2-D Metroid that's new, unless you count the Japanese version of Fusion). Yes, it had sequence breaking. You would think that people would rejoice over that after complaining with Fusion. But no. "It's too obvious" everyone says. That's a joke. Ridley before Kraid was not obvious. Horizontal bomb jumping? Gah, if that was obvious I'll shoot myself in the foot. It was a solid game that has more replay value than most (personal best time of 00:41:14). So as you can see they are all unique and different in their own way. They are all good games. If you can, get both Fusion and Zero Mission, but if you can only get one, get Zero Mission (it has the original Metroid, a Time Attack mode, different difficulties, a sound test, image gallery...). It has more to it than Fusion. |

| These are just great, and I wanted to make sure everyone knew about them: http://www.channel51.org http://www.orbislabs.com Channel 51 is more well done, but they're both pretty good. |
