E.M.M.I. Zone (NES) - Metroid Dread Animation 

More horrifying than the E.M.M.I´s, way more. But a "No Map Mode" would be an excelent addition to the game.

Master mode

A new level of Dread

and Imagine playing Metroid 2 on gameboy in the 90s without internet or videogame magazines!

@@sakuracc8436 It’d be like hardcore mode for Skyrim and fallout, where fastravel is basically banned.

Ikr

They’re scarier in 8-bit honestly

interestingly enough, it never haunted me because i was more creeped out by metroid II, where they seem to take the sound inspiration from

@@Nanashi20 OG Gameboy sountfont is peak terror. I’ll give you that. Horrific and disgusting in spades.

my thought exactly.

And here I was gonna say this reminds me a little of Lumpy Touch.

Heya lumpy didn’t expect you here.

Hey I love your animations man!

Ahhh, my favorite pixel artist frequents the same channels I'm subbed to, sweet.

Hi :)

i blame it on the uncanny-ness of the emmi's animation not respecting the actual limitations of the NES

That’s not how they work.

Especially when they kiss your neck.

The second one looks like the automatic pilot from wall-e

That because they ripped off Dog from the half life series

Beep beep boop boop beep

I want a plushie.

Samus Returns, Super, and Fusion had plenty of subtle horror in them. Everything from the musical sting in Fusion as the SA-X makes its first appearance blowing a hole through a wall and looking directly at the player with glazed eyes, to Super Metroid Crocomire dissolving in acid and its skeleton bursting out of a wall at you and psyching you out into thinking the fight is going to continue, to the accompaniment of boss music, and the Wrecked Ship being *literally* haunted, to the bit at the end of the Gameboy Samus Returns and AM2R where the Chozo statue holding the metroid-countering ice beam is decapitated. Metroid has always been a horror game series, and it owes that in part to its inspiration series, Alien. ... Okay, fine, I like the 8-Bit Emmi a lot more than the 2.5d one.

That implies it's not already

Well have you heard of the SA-X?

There’s the SA-X from Metroid Fusion.

As if alien jelly fish hovering over head only to jump on top and suck the life out of you wasn't terrifying....all the while one of the most disturbing music themes in video game history is playing in the background

Yeah this is much more unsettling then I expected it to be

I notice games with retro graphics are scarier

@@maroonkennedy6213 me too

every copy of nes metroid is personalized

YESSS Agreed!

Yo! A wild GameChops done appeared... hai. Cool channel, bro

Zoomer's worst nightmare

That would be Metroid 1 or Super Metroid on hard mode.

Emmi needs someone to let it walk out of it's zone If they get teammates, fear is gonna be over 9000

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The closest thing we have to that are the Central Units, but those things only stayed in one spot inside their respective EMMI zones.

...how would it get around, even if the barriers were destroyed they'd regenerate.

That would be awesome, i wish the emmi zones really were not in the game, they look the same and i knew i was safe if i just leave, sax chases you from a few rooms and you cant really tell when its over in your first timr playing fusion

It would both be impressive and impossible because of cartridge space limitations. Maybe if there was a lot of space optimization and compression tricks involved.

GLaDOS said "It's about to get funky"

@@GearTech147 GLaDOS: Oh, hi. Guess what, ? I got a mobility upgrade. Now I would like to play a little game with you. It's called . It's about to get funky. Ha. Ha-Ha-Ha.

First comment...

Yo Pad I love your videos :D

It's not that they wouldn't be scary. They just wouldn't be any good at chasing the player

@@kuroser353 nah since it is the NES days of gaming we are talking bout if they spot you then game over they would be zooming so fast

@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena I think Kuro might mean the AI, the way they search for you in Dread and in this video might not be possible on that older gear, but I’m no developer.

Yes, it was said to be technical limitations. They felt making the game they couldn't make it feel impactful enough to be scary. Though, Fusion was pretty scary as a kid, ngl.

well this is actually impossible on the original NES due to it being only able to render a few hundred colors (not even all at once) and also the fact that the emmi's animation would take up to much space on the NES's very small amout of sprites it can store in a single cartridge, let alone the amout of sprites it can render all at once so no it dosent disprove that the tech wasnt around back then

Why, indeed.

I agree.

VRC6 plus some post editing with the DPCM channel. it's not 100% authentic chiptune but shhh don't tell anyone!

@@branflakes325 oh my god you are so cancelled for this one

@@IsabelleChiming it's also overclocked to like 232 Hz oops..........

JEEZUS lol

yes it can. in Metroid NES you can max your health to 6 fuel tanks

It’s. A freaking. JOKE.

@@Ballowax he means the original metroid is that hard and energy grinding is that inefficient

@@emblemblade9245 This Comment IS A FUCKING JOKE

Okay. I was not prepared for the accuracy. Even though it's a joke, it's true

yeah haha metroid 1 is such a compelling game I love having my entire life wasted by tedious ass bullshit take away the save points bro it ruined the game bro!!!1!!!

It becomes a sort of Pavlov thing too where you hear it and you’re just like… shit.

its scary because its off key and lets you know a emmi is about to destroy you

And due to the fact that they could not just decorate the background that much, the environments are usually stark, meaning you can more easily imagine a technological beast stalking you and randomly coming into contact with you, mixed with the fact that you have no convenient save points.
