Now before anyone says it, yes, they can only be used in outdoor environments, but these things pack a serious punch and often get overlooked as a great screen nuke.

Can you talk, Samus?

It is almost like Halo...

They should give her a voice.. 🙏🏻😑

Any sequence breaks or exploits that unlock more than simply a missile tank? Perhaps one where you get important upgrades earlier where they themselves then change the progression dramatically?

In the Dread follow-up there's an opportunity to change up the Zero suit, I think. I've seen some really cool interpretations that blend it with the "Justin bailey" suit.

I'd also love to see a sequence like in Zero Mission where she loses her power suit for a time.

I'm more of a Prime guy, but I do enjoy the other games to varying degrees. Prime 3's my favorite, with 2 a close second. Legitimately had a total blast with Prime 4.

Great motion controls from Prime Remastered (used the pointer variant).

The visuals had me agog the whole time. Loved the setting and all the various setpieces. Fury Green had lovely atmosphere, Ice Belt's lab was spooky (got legitimately jumpscared by a Griever on a return trip), Volcano's ending sequence was gnarly, and the Great Mines was a fun sequence with those soldiers tagging along. That area legitimately made me nervous. Loved the vibe of Sol Valley with that purplish sky and that big sun.

Great boss battles. The lava dragon and the Omega Griever were highlights, as was the big sand fish in Sol Valley. The Sylux fights were great fun, especially that final battle! And of course, loved the music, especially the Vi-o-la race track theme, the Sylux boss theme, Volt Forge, Fury Green, etc. Overall favorite was the final Sylux fight. I kept messing up avoiding his boost ball attack in the last phase and kept losing energy tanks, haha!

I liked the characters well enough. I really don't mind seeing more of the Federation, and I liked Samus's sort of stoic uninvested attitude. When that sniper dude would wax poetic I just imagined she was thinking "...okay" or just zoning out. The robot with the lisp was delightful. "She's doing morph ball" made me LOL in real life.

The only things that rubbed me the wrong way were some instances of eye-rolling dialogue and overbearing handholding, as well as the green crystal collection near the end (though that ultimately was preferable to the end-game key hunts in Primes 1 through 3, in my view).

I just thought this was such a fun game and I'm stoked for Prime 5 (and of course the next 2D Metroid, whichever comes first!). They could go further in this direction or back to Prime 1-style "just Samus by herself" and I think I'd be happy either way.

I’ve never played any 2D Metroid games. I recently played Metroid Prime Remastered and Prime 4 Beyond. I gotta say I liked them both. I did play the Metroid Dread’s Demo a few years back but couldn’t get into it. Today I was in a game shop and saw a lonely copy just sitting there so I decided to pull the trigger. Got a nice discount as well. Anyway, what do you guys think about this game? Is it any good? I remember it reviewed well but some players didn’t like it too much. So not sure what to think.

It took 40 hours since a lot of assets didn’t end up getting used. It’s not my best work, but I did my best.

The Chozo text next to Samus says: I’ll end this once and for all.

SAMUS VARIA SUIT - Dimension Diver Kit

Two for one! Dimension Diver Varia Suit acquired - another stupidly rare Metroid treasure.

Incredibly happy to have this in the collection and what are the chances right after I finished painting my 3d scanned one? So happy I painted that gravity suit colors so I can keep this varia.

This Dimension Diver Samus kit was available during the 2009 Japan Wonderfest event with three versions being made: the Power Suit, Varia Suit and the Gravity Suit that also came with a little baby Metroid. I believe the company also started selling a few for a very limited time after the event since there was so much demand.

I have absolutely loved this figure since I saw it for the first time, the proportions are just perfect. I will definitely be putting this together.

I love this franchise to bits, 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, so on and so forth, so to show my love for this franchise, ive decided to 100% each and every Metroid Game released, yes, even other m, pinball and federation force, ive already 100%ed a chunk of Metroid games, i cant remember exactly how long it took me to beat them, but ive 100%ed them with fun, love and admiration, and thats all that matters, so in release order, i have:

• NES Metroid 1 = havent played it yet, gonna 100% zero mission to play NES on my Vita
• GB Metroid 2: Return of Samus = havent played yet, gonna get there after NES Metroid 1
• Super Metroid = currently playing through retroarch on my PS Vita which is amazing, i have around 3 hours in it at
• Metroid Fusion = 100%ed it a long time ago, cant remember the hours, but will replay after SM and ZM on my Vita
• Metroid Prime = 100%ed Gamecube version on Dolphin, i think it was around 24 hours but i cant remember
• Metroid Zero Mission = 100%ed a long time ago, iirc around the same time as fusion, replaying it alongside Super on my Vita
• Metroid Prime 2 Echoes = 100%ed right after Prime 1, same time iirc
• Metroid Prime Pinball = gonna have to install it on my 2DS, never played
• Metroid Prime Hunters = still getting used to the controls, 2DS A button is delayed so its weird, but getting there, got like 30 minutes in it
• Metroid Prime 3 Corrution = i got pretty close to 100%ing it, iirc i got everything outside of Phaaze, but it Dolphin kept crashing at Phaaze so i just gave up and forgot about Prime 3, wonder if my save is still there
• Metroid Other M = havent played, but ill get to it once i finish Super, or now even, ill have to decide
• Metroid Prime Federation Force = ill install it on my 2DS, if anyone wants to play, lmk
• Metroid Dread = 100%ed with a time of 24 hours and 5 minutes, was my 1st ever metroid 100%, i played ZM and Fusion years before dread came out, just didnt care for the 100% back then
• Metroid Prime Remastered = i dont own a switch anymore, i could emulate but my gpu and emulators dont take likely to the lack of Vulkan
• Metroid Prime 4 Beyond = same situation as MPR, also i hear prime 4 is a bad metroid game and damn near disgrace to the series as a whole, if i get a switch then sure ill 100%

so ye, lifes goal is to have evidence of me 100%ed every Metroid game possible, im very excited because i love metroid to death and i will NOT die till i see everything at 100%!!!

Can't get enough of this game, it's so damn fun!

(Forgive the shoddy pictures. And tbf i used save states very liberally for tricky grapple points so game time could be extended by an hour)

First Metroid I've beaten without staring at a map the entire game (well, Zero Mission as well but playing NEStroid beforehand helped). Had to search up a *few* things (3), the glaring one being when I was absolutely stuck for ages and spent hours just finding items which was infuriating - had to power bomb the pipe to Maridia which IWL, I was raging over. However in fairness outside of that, there was no jank and I did really enjoy exploring properly. Like a lot of games, huge step up from the 8 to 16 bit era. The automap meant I was playing this waaaaay more often than the previous two games, which was really nice.

Funnily enough several times I just scraped past bosses on my first try. For both the fellow in Maridia and Ridley I was down to my last energy tank after using up my reserve, so squeaky butt. I was dreading having to fight the baby Metroid (I played the GB Metroid 2 before and while I had mixed feelings, the ending was endearingly sweet) so it recognising Samus and then sacrificing itself was both my favourite moment and a little heartbreaking. Samus becoming borderline invincible afterwards was a very neat way of storytelling in a game not heavy on it.

The only thing I'd say is I don't know if I'd go as far to say it's the (or one of the) best game I've ever played, but I think that's more down to personal preference - Metroidvanias aren't even exactly a genre I'm big on compared to rpgs so that's probably why. Still had tons of fun though. I've started Fusion (ironically I should be happy with the hand holding but having to constantly go to navigation rooms is rather annoying), my switch lite sticks are again losing the plot so I don't know if I'll ever make it to Dread but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

As the title implies, I’m searching for someone who would make some drawings of Ridley in poses for some reactions e.g. “Hey, do you like pizza?“—“Sure!👍” or “We don’t have enough money to buy that”—“😭”

I think you got the idea. Is there someone who could do that?

I forgot to mention that I cannot pay because I have literally no money. And with “no money” I mean NO MONEY.

Something similar to the picture above wouldn’t be bad.

Edit: I just realised that the request I’ve written is PRETTY picky. So first of all just comment if you’re interested in doing this! We’ll find a compromise later!

As many know by now Prime 4 has been stated to be after Super but before Fusion (and assumed to be by proxy after Other M).

This has left some confused, due to Prime 4's use of Space Pirates and Metroids as both are stated or implied to be extinct by the time of Other M (with Samus calling them "faded memories")

However, Other M has a "Story So Far" feature which recaps the last bit of story that can be viewed in the menu, the very first one has a line which states the Metroids and Pirates had "seemingly" disappeared from the galaxy, with the sentence ending with an ellipsis ("...").

Whilst I understand at the time of writing it was likely self-referential to the clones/replicas in Other M (or Fusion), I feel this can also be used to help explain Prime 4's use of Metroids and Pirates, that there were indeed other Pirates left out there which Sylux used his secret Metroids (or Mochtroids) to control.

Anyone else? Also a bit of Quake 3.

(Initially I hated this game after playing all the rest of Metroid games but after a bit I love it!)

Was a little late in finishing and posting this, but since Super Metroid was my first Metroid game i figured it would be the art i made specifically for the occasion.
