I just get lost alot

It's one of the best game EVER made, and in my opinion THE BEST Super Nintendo game.

Neve's too late , a Real masterpiece.

It's almost impossible to overstate how MINDBLOWING this game was back in the mid 90s! Have some extremely fond memories of pulling some SERIOUS all-nighter sleepovers trying to finish this game with my best friend back in middle school! Enjoy your first playthrough of this masterpiece! (I wish i could wipe my memory and re-experience this game for the first time!)

When I first played this game back in 1994, it instantly reminded me of the first game, But my first attempt was derailed, because I got lost in Norfair, because I didn't know where the ice beam was, or know about it for that matter.

Same age. Same. You excited for dread?

@@kennethphillipsii you have no idea. I still can't believe it's coming out in 3 days.

@@mysticking16 Didn't even know there was going to be another Metroid outside of Prime 4.

4 years younger. Metroid’s always been a part of my life. How was the remastered Prime for you?

I totally agree I’m now 33 years old and I still comprehend how is it possible for a game to be this perfect and unmatched to date.

Nice I never knew that.

9 year old comment, I am so glad I found this nugget of info.

Don't forget about Donkey Kong Country 2.

Nah man, I don't either.

Tastes change though. I was all over turn based RPGs as a youngster, couldn't get enough of them they were magical. Now? Oh god no. I just can't, combat's slow, stories don't capture me anymore, music doesn't amaze me and the dialogue so long winded. And these days RPGs just seem to throw so much irrelevant time wasting crap at you . Could be that I've lost my imagination but still.

+Dakebinator me too. Best comment ever.

Y'all are gay

@@notquiteordinary dude, if you don't like the game, it's ok, everyone has their own opinions, but there is no need to say that EVERYONE is gay, what the heck did they even do to upset you? I'm not trying to pick a fight in the comments but there's just no need to be rude for no reason.

thank you so much. i really put a lot into this video as its my favorite game hands down!!!

I couldn't agree more. But it makes me sad that proper grammar even needs to be celebrated. What a world.

@@NESComplex makes me feel better that i got to find this 7 years later to put that love to work again. My favorite alongside Link to the Past.

I actually like "Metroid: Zero Mission" a lot more, but I do agree that "Super Metroid" is such a game that is worth playing on the SNES. :)

Who doesn’t like Metroid in general?! 😊

Well it doesn’t matter if he loves super Metroid or not sometimes is not a matter of opinion we all or most have to agree with him weather we like it or not super is the best experience ever created.

Enough of your outlandish theories

Thank you my friend! It means a lot coming from an A+ friend!

NESComplex Yeah, I really hope we can get a lot more of these retrospect vids.

Sup billy and Jay....

An A+ video about an A+ game!

I can feel your love for this gamer. I love those who love those who have love for games.

Rodrigo Cáceres i love you

@@rogerklotz7737 and @all, best comment thread ever

+Millad Bahrami I disagree! It's WAY too gushy, and way too pretentious for me to tolerate! God Damn it! Stop with the stupid visuals! You suck at it!

+Marc Baker You're right... I'm quitting YT

+NESComplex I agree, it is absolutely brilliant and spot on :)

+Marc Baker gtfo stupid troll

So if I don't like something, and call people out on it, I'm a 'troll'? F%$k OFF!

niespeludo i'm right there with you!!!!! \\[T]// praise the dark souls/metroid experience!!

The sixteen bit generation gave the most back to gamers.When Starfox came out the jump from 2d to 3d was so impressive no other technological improvement to date has impressed me as much.It was like discovering the wheel,it was a brave new frontier.Combined with the snes awesome sound capabilities,that shit blew our little minds back in the day.

drubio preach.the intro alone is is nothing like any other just pure dredd.i got this game when it first came out and it's still the best game in history still haven't found nothing that going to top it.the music the exploration the tone of the game like it's something to get you around the corner.still the best.

I loved Shadow Of The Colossus and Fallout 3. Dead Space to a degree, and Batman Arkham Asylum, Metal Gear Solid 1 on PsOne

Not Echoes? This was closer to the Metroid formula than Prime 1.

Then I have succeeded. Thanks for watching

Thank you! Have fun! My kid just started it up again last night too

Thank you for the kind words. I real appreciate it.

I can really second Austin here. I think you found very hard-hitting keywords to describe this game and everything that it's about. Excellent job.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I worked on this script for nearly 2 years… no lie. I would reread it every few months and tweak the wording. Glad you liked it!

Thank you! I appreciate it! Hopefully you’ll get reminded of some of those things you’ve forgotten... the things that made the 80s and 90s so wonderful!

Heyyy, I found u! I'm jelly of all your amiibos btw.

Thanks man... I will try!

Is way simpler than you think, when you jump and press right on the d-pad Samus spins to the right in the air if you happen to hit a wall she will keep spinning but going down. That's exactly when you press and hold the d-pad in the opposite direction then press the jump button, repeat again until you reach a higher area. Keep in mind that while she is still spinning against a wall you have plenty of time to do it even if she is failing down, so you can recover from a bad timing. If you control the jump in the air you don't even need 2 walls! So you approach the wall spinning and repeat.

@@lmeza1983 ah gotcha. I mesn i play pn an emulator so that may effect button input

@@voltrainer I played it with a keyboard only and is pretty much same as with a controller but some bad quality d-pads are a huge issue because they input a diagonal instead of just right or left i.e. the original Xbox 360 controller.

@@lmeza1983 ah. I atill think it might have been the emulator as it only recognized a few button inputs at once. Made shinesparking a bitch

Do it!!!

big box?

yeah i don't know if there was a version in the states however here in PAL we got a big box edition which came with the players 72 page guide...kinda how earthbound did in the states i believe

NESComplex their is a BIG BOX for the pal version!! check amazon/ebay

rossosnaruto I sold mine about 5 year ago for £25 a few month before I got back into gaming, what a mistake that turned out to be they go for like £60-70 now :(

even more, they have been selling for over £100 recently!

Not a problem. They're both awesome games anyway.

I can’t decide between those two and ff6 or for America ff3. It’s pretty much a tie.

Either way, they are both legends.

@@Stevesndkayla218 personally, I have to go with FF6 (3) What a gem. Not that this one isn't. Just something about Celes taking care of Cid in the second half. And that last fight with Kefka. Man. I'm gonna have to go play it again now...

Seriously? Thank you #humbled

Hahahaha. Thanks

I got metroid 2 a few months ago. I like it but damn do I want to play super metroid now.

Thank you Toby! At the time, my goal was to make sort of a love letter to my favorite game, so I really tried to give it my all... it means a lot for you to say that.

Yeah, map joke was pretty bad, good job for pointing that out.

What are u guys talking about. Map jokes were the best

Don't forget "foilage."

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it

I'm surprised in 9 years no one has commented on your username.

@@Coolman13355 ….yeah me too! And it’s been almost 10 years thanks for noticing.

Thank you Eric! That means a lot to me!

oh wow

+DragonsEdge84 i try

I want another one too. Please Nintendo? There are some cool hacks.. Redesign, Super Metroid Zero Mission, etc.

Square One Games! You're still with me... thanks for not giving up on my channel. I think life is finally settling down... i hope to put videos out on a more regular basis.

Cool man, that's good to hear. You've got my support 100%! I've seen you in a couple of other youtube videos and I was wondering when you'd make your epic return. What a great game to come back with... METROID... such an awesome title. :)

SNES is the ultimate console.

PS1 is also the ultimate and PS2

+Lee Bays I remember coming back to this game about 10+ years after playing it for the first time and just knowing how to wall jump perfectly. I am not sure if I even learned how to do it as a child, but somehow I did. It's like riding a bike, once you learn you never forget; however, getting good at it is the second step.

+Lee Bays walljumping isn't even difficult in Super

Haha :-)

+TimtheEnchanter Me too, but getting the hang of it now. Did it earlier up to a door and thought Kraid before getting the high jump boots

Wall jumping is easier than using the space jump for me

As much as I love FF6, SM ranks higher for me.

Yes there are many of us in the Super Metroid cult!!! LOL I agree. It is the most perfect game in existence.

I would argue that Paper Mario TTYD is one of the perfect games in the gaming industry as well.

Thank you Tommy! I’m so glad it resonates with you!!! I’m half German by the way. Cheers!!

@@NESComplex the nintendo power stuff is also great .i laughed my ass off 😂

Awesome! Yep... I'm 35. We really lucked out to be born when we were.

I should also mention that I NEVER had an issue with wall jumping. I think Ninja Gaiden was the training wheels for that.

Yes... you're right there. I just mean in the era in which it was released.

NESComplex Timing is one of the main things that has held back the franchise as a whole lol almost all the metroid games were released at bad times but i get your point

It may not have sold well at that time but I daresay that Super Metroid has aged as well, if not better, than all other video games ever created.

@@TranslatedAssumption the fact that people still pay to play it to this day in 2020 shows you the staying power of the game, let alone the top SNES games.

What an awesome story! I would’ve loved to play super Metroid in life-size in a gym alone

Thanks a million!

LOL. Yeah I didn't praise it enough, did I?

Like first person? Not like the piece of shit of Metroid Other M? Perfect right? It will definitely take hell of a time to make such an amazing game into a first person.

Slendy Psycho Other M was a good game dude, the third metroid game on my list

Not really, Since, firstly, The controls were just shitty. Because of the removal of the nunchuk. And using the d-pad to move and stuff. Secondly, The Samus in there. The voice acting was just... Dead. She showed no expression whatsoever. She acted overpowered by some G.F guy. even though she is way more badass, has an amazing suit, amazing arsenal, awesome moves. Thirdly, The reason why she couldn't use the abilities. Adam just told her not to use anything but the morph ball, and beam. And she was all like "Ok, I don't mind. I'll follow your orders 'cause I just have a stupid story with you." Plus, The Varia Suit, Gravity suit, and some other shit did no harm to the place or the people. They just benefited Samus in her survival. No harm done. Fucking game... Fourth reason, Her interpretation. We have seen how Samus was throughout all of the games. She is an independent woman that doesn't give two shits about shit. Badass and all. In this game we saw a woman that obeys orders just like that. Without giving a good reason to do it. Fifth reason, Adam Malkovich in this game. In Metroid Fusion, the game after the events of Other M, according to the timeline, we saw that Samus had a special bond with Adam. He was a father figure to her. Very dear, in fact. But in the game We didn't see any of those reasons. We just saw a straight up asshole that went on barking orders at Samus. Like... There should've been some reasons to make the player be like "Alright, they have a nice bond. Like father son or daughter. It's understandable why she missed him so much in Fusion and at the end of Other M!" No, we didn't have any reason to be like that. Nor for Samus to be like "NOOOOOO, WHY'D YOU GO ADAM!!!! YOU WERE LIKE A FATHER TO MEEE!!!! D:" No. We instead were like "Girl, Why the fuck do you miss that asshole? Guy can go fuck himself. Just... AAAAGH, SAMUS! Get yo shit together. He was your fucking former C.O. Not your actual C.O. Goddamnit, Samus." Yes, that was pretty much all of the fan's reaction towards her affection towards Adam. Hell, we even got more affection towards Anthony than for Adam. Oh, and last thing. I liked the suit better than anything in that game. Maybe I'll give it another try though, I don't know. Maybe. Probably not.

Thank you!!!! :-)

I sort of disagree. Sure it would be a lot of fun, but I don't think they would be able to replicate the perfection that is Super Metroid. I feel that part of what makes the game so amazing is the nostalgic SNES graphics. It just wouldn't feel the same in 3D. Also, the limit on the graphics is what made it so easy to find perfect hiding spots for items and pathways. I think a remake would be a fun game, and I would absolutely buy it, but again... perhaps I am just biased, as I believe that SNES is the greatest system ever made, but I just can't see it having the same impact that Super Metroid had/has.

That means a lot, my friend. I've been working on this video in one way or another for 2 years! I just wanted my video to be worthy of the masterpiece i was reviewing!

Thank you! Even though I know of them, i still don't use them… they look pretty cool though, don't they?

I really like the game but your right exploration in this game is a bit too important. And there is this one glitch where a certain power up won't appear after you beat a boss (can't remember which one). This guy is also lying when he says the wall jump move is easy.

I was fortunate to play Super Metroid back in the day, it was awesome. 20 years later I have the opportunity to play any of other awesome games I didn't know about back then... but ended up playing again Super Metroid, and it was great again, I was like "hmm.., I was supposed to do something here", "Ooh... I remember this place, cool", "what am I missing?", etc. I've never played Link to the Past, so I gave it a try weeks a go, and just left it after two sessions, it was nice but I guess is because I already know more or less what to espect(exploration and backtracking), whereas with Super Metroid back then was something new, if it instead were Link to the Past back then and never played Super Metroid is very probable that it would had happened to me what it happened to you. So, for me to enjoy Link to the Past I think I just need to mentally setup myself, to play it in a relaxed manner, and enjoy it, no hurries. The same may apply to you for Super Metroid.

I enjoyed Metroid:Fusion and Metroid:Zero Hour more than Super Metroid, but after plaything those games, I am going to go back and play Super Metroid and see how I fell.

Heres the thing dude, even though the game is a masterpiece it also comes down to if its your style of game or not. For me I love non linear experiences but for some people they hate having too much freedom. Some people like Call of Duty where I can't really get into it. I like Metroid where some people hate it becauses theres too much to do. Also some people like multiplayer where in most part I prefer single player. What it comes down to is not all games are for everyone. Although I honestly have very few games I don't like, some less than others but I play pretty much anything.

dawood rashid The guy isn't lying because he didn't say it was easy. He said that once you get the hang of it... then it's easy!

Thank you. I spent a long time on the wording for this review and that part was tricky for some reason.

I would say that it holds your hand at least a little bit with the recharge stations, comprehensive maps, abundant energy tanks, and to an extent, the X-Ray goggles. It's a great game, but I wish it was a bit harder.

Ronniethesage Try to speed run it, then it becomes super hard

DrGreatJob I'm not particularly good at zipping through games, nor do I enjoy it. Even if Super Metroid does become hard with that challenge, though, it doesn't change the fact that the game's resources make a normal run rather easy at its core, which is what counts in the end. It's possible to make even the easiest games brutally difficult with the appropriate artificial restrictions/challenges.

***** Yes they do. Nowadays, we have games like Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Undertale, Firewatch, and even games coming out like Cuphead.

***** Actually, with AAA games like Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Wonderful 101, Dying Light, Mirror's Edge, Metal Gear Solid 5, Evolve, Xenoblade Chronicle X, Red Dead Redemption, and upcoming games like Persona 5, Last Guardian, Zelda U, Kingdom Hearts 3, etc., I believe we have been seeing the rise of AAA games becoming better. If the only thing you play is indie games, then how will you even know there are still good AAA games?

Thank you!!!!

***** I'm not saying it is a bad game at all, but just as you put, it is not for everyone. However, when the guy in the video talks about people who didnt find the game enjoyable, he fails to see this and just says they are playing the game wrong or that they are idiots for not liking this type of game.

Hennesg please, troll harder

TheUnownOfAwesome You dont seem to understand what a troll is. Im totally honest right there. I just cant take all the political correctness nowadays, you have to take care that you dont offend any minority in the slightest way or people come and say "why dont you think of them people", jews get offended by shit -> fuck em. Gays get offended by shit -> fuck em :P. Women/Nerds/Poor People/Feminists/Politicians get offended by this or that shit -> FUCK EM. And people that kinda "meh" didnt liked super metroid and get offended when a dude who LOVES this game says "these people are idiots".... welll...... they should be fucked the hardest. no...... one...... cares..... about...... your ..... fucking...... feelings

Hennesg oh irony

It's nice to be back. Thanks for your support!

you are describing yourself

Luis Fernando maybe? it takes one to know one.

Thank you!!!
