any examples on this video?

How do you know🤔🤔🤔

I heard it!🙀🙀🙀🙀

cause it is speeking Luminoth. they invented it, and the ing stole it.

It's not retro anymore

@@olsonbryce777 cap

@@annihilation777 it's not. 99% of the original team is gone

@@olsonbryce777 well that new team just made a brilliant MP1 remaster, so. that's how all long video game series work, the studio loses the old employees and hires new ones, that doesn't mean you can just say "it's not them anymore"

@@heathersmith4042 To further illustrate your point, MercurySteam was pretty much only known for some questionable Castlevania games and they gave us two excellent Metroid games, especially Dread. Retro Studios, themselves, was very much doubted, a Texas company making an FPS Metroid sounds like it should've failed. For this reason, we can at least give them the benefit of the doubt.

So I’m not the only one then

I hear you. It's my favorite boss fight from all Metroid games combined.

I wasnt the only one 🤣🤣

same

I have a savestate for in on Dolphin.

For real. All those little missile and power bomb expansions you'd feel like you wasted your time collecting actually paid off in this fight.

@@Ichiboy900 and the echo visor came in handy here

Ah yes, the super missile. The answer to all of life's problems.

@@youraveragejoe2 Echo Visor was required.

@@metawolf987 after 3yrs later im surprised i got a response

like mgs2, graphics still hold up to this day

Although the limitations are clearly present, it still manages to have a clean look to it.

Logbook's a nightmare to navigate, and you can see some pixelly textures, notably through scan visor and on samus' armor, but the lighting, atmosphere, and environment cannot do a better job masking it. How the HELL did prime 2 and 3 not sell well?

Poor timing. Nintendo had a nack for picking poor release dates for Metroid titles.

No wtf

Facts

Hard facts

Yeah, AND the Shadow dinosaur of torbus bog, creepy

now see the battle with this song, "REZZ - Edge"......is so scary

I mean technically it was possessed by a living thing

It's watching you...

The scan, near the beginning, makes this eerily clear. It's like the head is detached..... before it's actually detached.

Robots no matter their sentience always have a prime directive. Quadraxis' in this moment was to make sure you were dead...

0:41 is where that head not breaking line of sight looks the creepiest.

Yeah it was the ultimate weapon to fight back against the enroaching Horde. They never realised the Ing would invade their final sanctuary.

@@iratepirate3896 Ing Masher and Quadraxis were supposed to be used to repel the horde, but Ing possessed the machines and caused them to turn against the Luminoth.

@@Patricio4Christ like they did with the ing smasher and theirs sentry turret notable see how they can take controll of corpse too but no dark luhminot is see since all of them probably commit suicide killing the ing in the process

@@the_bane_of_all_anti_furry you can actually find several luminoth corpses in the Agon Wastes near the gunship, and if scanned it says that they "self terminated". Self termination is just a fancy way of saying suicide. Also, there are lore scans that specifically mention the Ing possesing Luminoth, and at least 1 actually calls them Dark Luminoth.

@@jakehildebrand1824 Where is the dark luminoth entry?

Moving it to first person was more genius than they realized

BC- 15 W/ Prime 4 included

BC- 15 GameCube controls

Labo VR compatability.

I could have sworn it was announced they were doing a remastered version.

@@MrSailing101 and voice acting on prime 2

Quadraxis has to be my favorite boss in all of game history

It is a little annoying, but I like that. Quadraxis is one of my favourite boss fights in any Metroid game.

Favorite boss fight in the whole series. Very well thought out.

Yes, but that would also be intelligent programming on the part of the Luminoth or the Ing, whoever actually made Quadraxis in-game.

So he hides his balls from you?

My question is whether the galactic federation owns the central units in dread, or if the mawkin had them beforehand and the GF commandeered them when installing EMMIs on ZDR

@@ryanmauery5459 raven beak used those units to control the EMMIs

@@ryanmauery5459 Raven Beak used Quite Robe to build the central units for controlling the EMMIs

I see I'm not the only one who noticed that MISSED Scan opportunity.

@@GRIMLOCK07 It's easy to miss. Both times I finished the game with a 99%, that was the only scan log I forgot.

OH GOD NO-

Crocomire from super Metroid and nightmare from both fusion and other m are in second and third place for terrifying Metroid bosses

Metroid Prime 3 enters the room.

There’s a lot of missable scans in each game. In Metroid Prime I always forgot to scan the aqua drone.

Flaahgra has two scans, and its tentacles was the only scan I missed in Prime 1. Got a letter reply from nintendo power informing me of such!

Oof

Isnt there yellow and blue energy orbs dropped from the boss? Yellow heals one energy tank and blue heals 50.

@@glitzy5214 red blue and yellow. Red heals 10, blue heals 25, and yellow heals 50.

@@jakehildebrand1824 i swear yellow heals like one e tank

@@jakehildebrand1824 Purple heals 10, red 25, blue 50, gold is a full tank.

Damn that sounds nuts. Too bad there wasn’t a way to figure out what it was saying.

@@MJD696 I think it was saying something like "ima f'cking squash u, little piece of trash"

@@duckway4733 I hear "Oh shit,here we go again"

nah he is probably say "main body destroyed adapt head module to alternativr fighting mode"

Tied with Hag 1 for me. Can't decide which has the better theme either

It would be next to impossible, since your health is constantly being drained by the dark atmosphere.

@@JanusHoW it wouldn't

@@Duke_of_Petchington if ur doin this without the dark suit then yh its impossible lol

@@enternamehere3759 One mad lad actually managed to beat Quadraxis without the Dark Suit AND without energy tanks. It was pretty much a rush to get every single energy pickup and even when the fight was already over.

Came to the comments to find this. Thanks!

@@ddownpound6 No Problem.

Who the hell preferred Corruption over Echoes?

@@iratepirate3896 ikr, echoes was way better

It was too difficult to get around. You couldn’t enjoy The atmosphere without constantly looking at the map, which affected the flow and momentum of the game. It’s like a big map game

@@williampatrick2971 they where all like that to an extent though

Each has its better qualities, but I had more FUN playing corruption. Echoes may be more of a metroid game, but I didn’t have as much fun. And this is coming from someone who has played and beat echoes and corruption four times each. I beat prime 1 twice.

Especially with how big it is just from afar. A lot of the fights in Prime 2 were against larger versions of common enemies, but Quadraxis goes FAR beyond that formula.

Boost Guardian :)

I have a terrible OCD about using limited ammo "incase I really need it" I personally love mashing a and power beaming things away.

@@Rye-Uh That's the good thing in MP2. Even if you use up all your ammo, you still can charge your light/dark beam to shoot out a regular shot. With this you can still open up doors or destroy canisters/enemies to restore ammo.

This game doesn't do a very good job of letting you know what weapons work against what

@@olsonbryce777 Typically, light is good against dark enemies and dark against regular enemies. The one anomaly is Dark Samus. Beyond the Dark motif, she's made of the same phazon responsible for Dark Aether, so you'd think she'd be more vulnerable to the Light Beam especially when she's comfortably seen going about Dark Aether without being harmed by the atmosphere.

The game actually hints at this, since boosting into the orbs is also effective against the smaller normal enemy variant.

@@VGamingJunkieVT Yea, I didn't even know that bombs could work on them before this video

And the Grapple Guardian. But the worst of all is the Power Ball Guardian.

Ahem boost guardian

power guardian was a wuss in my opinion

the spider guardian is terrible. i played the “easier” version on wii, but heck that thing was still hard

@@mrsaturn9974 i played normal on gc and it was actually surprisingly easy

T SMACKS Metroid Prime 4 ;) guess they heard you

Mandal greed guess they did too!!!

@@tsmacks9 they restarted development. And hired new artists from halo and crysis

Your Average Joe 2 I don’t think they restarted. Didn’t they just hire mo ppl. It was restarted last 2 yrs ago

@@tsmacks9 i was right about the artist thing

Adventure Wolf I agree completely

The music is amazing. I love the repeating, descending elements in the background.

my dad and I are doing this right now 😆 he loves to replay them. I'm 28 and he's 68, his hands are getting bad, so I have to do the boss battles because of his arthritis and anxiety won't let him play well. mine aren't great either but more manageable so it's on me to beat the bosses 😢

Thanks for the suggestion! I have a couple games I need to record first, but I'll put them on the list.

Thank you! I am a huge fan of the Metroid series and I like to see others play them in their own ways!

Not even ONE energy tank. That was a damn impressive fight.

samus' visor translated it

Here here; MP3: Corruption was such a let down. Functional yes; but it just felt inferior to both Prime 1&2 in everyway. Especially the final boss of Corruption, it's like they copy and pasted this quadraxis fight but made it boring and unimpressive.

echoes is the best prime game tho how can you not like it that much

@@aetheriox463 I don't like the linearity in level design compared to prime 1. Also, the dark world is annoying and uninteresting to explore, not to mention, when moving between the dark and light world, there is an unskippable cutscene. However, I can understand that it is a cover for the game loading and rendering the dark world. The Ig were uninteresting, and the visors seemed uninspired, except for the echo visor. Many other annoying things about the game, but those are the first things that come to mind.

@@calvintorgerson9686 There is a major difference in prime 2's map design in comparison to prime 1: You can get anywhere from anywhere. In prime one, to get from A to B (major locations), you are required to go through Magmoor, every time. This is very annoying and increases the time you have to travel, not to mention that most of the game Magmoor is still dangerous. With prime 2, every location has an elevator to everywhere else, the best example is before you get power bombs. You are currently in Sanctuary Fortress, just gotten spider ball I believe, you're tasked to go to the bottom of Torvus bog to fight the power bomb guardian, its quite a trek and takes some time. Once you have power bombs, there is an elevator right outside of the boss room that takes you right to Sanctuary right where you need to be. If this was in prime 1, you would have needed to go back all the way up through Torvus and then to temple grounds, back to the start of Sanctuary. This is how back tracking should be done (prime 2, not 1), and I don't understand how you can think that as linear, especially since it doesn't happen just then, its pretty often. Prime 1 was just as, if not more linear due to there being one path to each location. I can understand how the dark world can be seen as uninteresting and annoying, hell before you beat most of the game you take damage the entire time you're in there. I personally am fine with it because it basically doubles the games content, and a long Metroid game is better than a short one imo (increased travel time to places doesn't count, as you don't need to do anything interesting to do that). You fight most bosses in the dark world, which makes sense lore wise because you're trying to destroy it and get your upgrades back, and the best boss (imo) in the entire Metroid franchise is fought there, Quadraxis. (again, my opinion). There wasn't very much lore about the Ing minus the war between the Luminoth and them, so fair enough. The visors weren't that interesting in prime 1 either, you got thermal and x-ray, basically the same upgrade. Dark visor is just x-ray again, so yeah I can see what you mean, and you mentioned that the echo visor is cool and I agree. Personally to me, Echoes is the best game in the Prime series, but I did still really enjoy Prime 1. As a first attempt at a 3D Metroid game, it's one of the best Metroid games that exist. Prime 2 ironed out some of the kinks of the first one (better map design, over all more difficult as imo Prime 1 was too easy etc), and is just the better of the two. If you disagree, that's fine though.

Totally understandable to like Prime 1 more than Prime 2. Prime 2 is darker, drearier, grayer, and far more difficult. The dark world is very punishing and can be annoying to navigate. Some of the bosses (Spider Guardian) are jank and the sky fortress keys fucking SUCK to collect. That being said, still love Prime 2 more

I keep a file with a save right before Quadraxis. I boot it up once in a while to fight it lol

I did it too :(

For you

It isn't a dark creature, so the light beam doesn't work as well anyway. Technically is has been controlled by the Ing, but not transformed. If it had been transformed, it would have been called Dark Quadraxis.

@@gumfireparalax1371 Actually, the light beam is the best weapon for this fight. It's all you need if you have enough ammunition. It only takes a few regular shots from light beam to take out a knew cap, a charge shot for the antenna on the body if you move forward while shooting it, seven shots for each antenna on the head and one charge shot and a normal shot to stun the head in phase 3. Also it charges way faster than super missile and doesn't waste as much time.

@@enigmaticman9140 Woah, really? This is one of those fights I never really experimented with. I guess I'll have to go back and play it again. Oh darn, replaying my favourite game in the series, the horror! That is kinda crazy though. Fought Quadraxis over six times, and never even tried the light beam.

all the prime games would make amazing vr games, idk how they would do the morph ball though

I mean you basically have it to destroy the rest of the game and end the war, so...

Hahaha, I played when I was 8 the first time. So I died at the Alpha Splinter... twice.
