Metroid Fusion - Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online 

With Metroid in the public eye again maybe they should definitely port/remaster federation force since people didn’t give that game a fair chance due to the lack of Metroid previously The people who did play it thought it was good I mean if they’re gonna do all the prime games how about the most overlooked one and bring it to a new audience

bro forgot about samus returns and the prime 4 announcement

since Dread released Metroid has been receving SO much love from Nintendo, is actually insane to see

@@amso7169 I was gunna say why was he that specific when Samus Returns came out longer than 2 years ago haha?

More like the last 2 weeks, lol

That’s really beautiful thanks for saying it like that it made my day

yes thats the joke

It's like poetry, it rhymes

@@NoBodyNoCrime758 ??? What joke. Tf u talking about

Its honestly the only game in the series that I like (didn't try zero mission yet tho)

I really liked Fusion and it was the first game in the franchise I played. Don't let Nintendo know, but I played AM2R and it was a blast too, these two games got me hooked on Metroid. I am so happy Nintendo is finally starting to do the series justice in preparation for Prime 4.

Same. Dread is surely the best 2D game, with Super Metroid very close. But I just adore Fusion. The way the story is told is just too good. Even if there's a lot of hand-holding and linearity, it's freaking amazing!

But not sing?

Rode the Hollow Knight wave back to relevancy.

​@@davidrich27 Nah it was always relevant. Metroid kinda created Hollow knight. Both are great.

@@airplanefood3576 Metroid Dread is the first truly new 2D Metroid in 20 years. In the meantime, HK and Ori have done alot to make the Metroidvania genre feel fresh.

​@David Rich and? Metroid has been on the minds of tons of nintendo fans for a long time. I don't think anyone played hollow knight and said "I wish this was metroid". Those games are good on their own merit.

@@mikebrushing1851 They released on the same day and Prime had the Fusion Suit.

cause they were meant for each other, literally a fusion integration with prime to unlock the original NES metroid and the fusion suit for Prime.

Yeah

​@@VEN0M415 but Zero mission is the one that has the original Metroid

@@massgunner4152 and so was prime, it was my first experience with the original NES game and that was pretty cool, still kicking myself for not getting zero mission for like $10 back then but ohh whale.

They pulled off everything. The color, exploration, maxing out what you could do with the Gameboy controller. It's... elegant, in every meaning.

Way underrated but I wouldn't go that far. It's the GBA after all.

Supe Metroid had more

@@thekoifishcoyote8762 I think that's why, even with the hardware they did so much.

Golden Sun.

Dead space before it was cool

Wish we could say the same about Earthbound and F-Zero.

@@kylewoodowens4488 Hoping F-zero gets a comeback at least.

The most deception of all is that all the classics and goat games came out in a decade where videogames weren’t art

F zero needs the love now

@@kylewoodowens4488 The online service would serve as the perfect means to just dump the Earthbound/Mother 3 ROM and be done with it. Won't replace my cart. I have of it, but really. And F-Zero needs a comeback - hopefully as a stopgap between Mario Kart 8 & 9, but made by a 3rd party like Metroid has been lately. The Game Cube game was near-perfection.

Aww, me too, same here! ;W; It's really awesome, it deserves it!

Well MP Remastered was finished in 2021. All Nintendo is doing is slowly releasing metroid titles to build hype. Idk if Metroid Prime 4 is coming out this year or next year. Gotta wait for the other 2 Remasters games.

Let's hope this means they're going to realise the value of their other under-utilised franchises too! It's been great seeing Metroid make a return

Nintendo is a business at the end of the day, if you're loving all the new Metroid games coming out . . . BUY THEM. Vote with your wallet

Now if only the other half of the “Metroidvania” formula could enjoy such a successful resurgence.

Yep, it is perplexing why we haven’t seen SOTN on the switch.

​@Hyper_Drud castlevania advance collection has nice extras switch online doesn't have.

i mean, there is that dead cells castlevania dlc coming out soon

I still think of Fusion as “that new Metroid game”. Damn I’m old.

jazz for your soul

The whole, "She's you at your peak... Minus the empathy."

And great ones at that, too! I beat this game before, and this trailer still got me goin' good!

@@thevgmlover That’s awesome, I actually will be doing my first play through right now I remember this game and I never had the gameboy to play it. I just wish they would add the old Pokemon games too so I can finally have the online functionality work and experience those for the first time as well.

Same bro!

👍

Same dude. Played it through so many times. Still remember the day I got it. I was like 8 😂

Ooo. Can one more join this party?

I replayed this game sooo many times that I could beat it blinded. Great part of my highschool memories and will always have a room in my heart!

I made a audible yelp seeing those hollow eyes

I got this game for christmas when I was 7 years old. The SA-X gave me nightmares and even now at almost 30 i still occasionally have dreams of being hunted down by it. I'm very excited to play this again tho lol, especially since i let a friend borrow my original gba game many years ago and she still hasnt returned it

They've actually tinkered with some of the gameplay footage _just_ for this trailer, such as the SA-X slowly walking through that door at the end! Not how it is in the game.

For many people, it probably is their first time. All 5 Metroids on the same console, great time to be a Metroid fan

​@@VideoGameAnimationStudy Seeing them go the extra mile for something they really didn't need to, something where they could just as easily go "look, here's Fusion, enjoy, K, byeeee!", gives off the feeling the folks responsible for this trailer are genuinely excited for this game themselves. I rather enjoy seeing that.

Well I mean, they ARE real as the x parasites are living creatures

It’s such a genius concept. It keeps the isolation intact AND adds some wonderful dread once you realize NOTHING could overpower the X. Serris’s skeleton is a great example of this. You’re not fighting an alien serpent who can launch at Mach speeds. You’re fighting the thing that was able to effortlessly kill it and copy it. That’s such a terrifying, cool premise for an encounter!

Dude, I still have my GBA SP with me and take it out regularity to replay this masterpiece. I’d probably rank this in my top 3 (Among Prime and Zero Mission)

My childhood!!

There's a reason why some of us jokingly refer to it as "John Carpenter's Metroid".

I mean technically it already is. Since 2017 we’ve had Samus returns, dread, and prime remaster… in addition to now all the mainline games (besides other m) being made available on switch in one form or another

​@@joelsytairo6338 except prime 2 and 3, and GBA Zero Mission. Still need Wii U eshop for that. Still a few days left!

@@aspenshredsf you’re including zero mission then we’re also missing Samus returns on switch

@@markercrayon457 true

@@aspenshreds the prime games aren’t mainline games. However they are still canon. Mainline are the numbered entries. Like Super is 3, Fusion is 4 and Dread is 5

well it is a direct sequel

How metroid fusion creates dread

You can see the influence of Metroid on hundreds of platformers, period! This game and Castlevania are solely responsible for the term "Metroid-vania."

​@@JuhoSprite Hey that's mine 😉

Dread was the first Metroid game I ever beat and it was a joy from start to finish, so I’m excited to play its predecessor

I played this game at 5 years old…I had no idea how games and stories worked cohesively, but Fusion scared me to my core and left me wanting more. I didn’t understand sequels and storylines either so Prime really confused me. However, I always referenced Fusion thinking it was the main plot because it was the most striking and heavy plot I had ever experienced. It’s my top Metroid game and will forever stand until something else bests it.

@@patricksanchez1684 have you played dread? dread is the ACTUAL sequel to fusion

@@brianestepa2376 if you read my comment thoroughly, I was 5. At that age I didn’t understand sequels and storylines. I didn’t realize Prime and the Metroid 1-4 were entirely different stories. Naturally, I played Dread. Fusion tops it in my eyes.

@@patricksanchez1684 Yep I understood that perfectly from reading your comment.. I just thought it would be nice to tell you about dread in case you never knew fusion got a sequel. My fault for trying to do something nice on the internet I guess lol. and yes fusion is definitely the best out of the two.

Lol no, the sax encounters are mucho more scripted than the robots in dread

​@@anemite2They're still terrifying

​@@anemite2 Yes they are scripted but for a first time player who doesn't know which rooms the SA-X appears in, it's really scary

The controls are also very tight with well designed gameplay.

The SA-X is way dumber and easier to manipulate than the EMMI, but it still makes a creepy experience especially for first-time players.

Doesn't that close up happen at that exact moment in the main game?

@@cancelskawoforgivingmedlib4710 yes, they're probably just expressing how scary it was to them once again. plus, it doesn't look like that in game, there's another slide to the animation and it's not quite as sudden. still spooky though.

@@DestroyerApollyon I probably should’ve explained that further, but you’re right. I wasn’t expecting that eerie pause, and then just instantly cut to the close up with that screeching sound. Caught me off guard lol.

I very highly doubt a Fusion remake would happen any time soon based on how Samus Returns was made. Mercury Steam initially went to Nintendo with the idea to remake Fusion, to which they got the response "why? Fusion is already perfect we dont need a remake of that Metroid. Return of Samus on the other hand could use it" hence why we got the nice 3ds remake of it then Dread after the company proved they knew Metroid well enough

Ah I understand now

I wouldn't exactly say that it's a masterpiece, but it's definitely a really really good game.

@@carnage0685 For GBA, definitely one of the best. Ever played Zero Mission? Love that one too. I personally like Fusion more though.

If you can't wait just emulate it. It's free too. And you won't support a money hungry company.

@@BalboaBaggins But you can't play it on the big screen for free + you won't be supporting Metroid. If way more people did this they wouldn't be making new Metroid content. This isn't 2016- The series has entered a new renaissance, and not supporting it is just idiocy.

I decided to get into Metroid thanks to MPR(Thanks to it's low price and shadow drop) so your wish has been granded.

The moment when a Nintendo Game Boy Advance game was scarier than console big screen M-rated Silent Hill

@@cosmosofinfinity Yes this game delivered some of the best horror experience. The story, the environment and to mention the excellent soundtracks it had which at times really felt like it will break your gba speaker

That’s what happens when you’re a Nin Franchise that Miyamoto didn’t make

It got this attention back in 2002 through 2010.

To be fair, Super Metroid was a blockbuster hit...but in the West. Nintendo of Japan didn't understand the overseas appeal for the franchise until "The Hype Is Real" of the Metroid Prime reveal. The only game on the Game Cube that had even bigger reveal hype was Twilight Princess - that E3 reveal will never be forgotten by the internet. Then the lead for the series, Sakamoto, had to nearly murder the franchise with Other M - an "okay" game but a horrible Metroid with some of the worst story direction and base game design I ever played that _wasn't_ a blatant cash-grab title of some form. Even Samus' voice actress didn't like her portrayal, but it's exactly what Sakamoto wanted so that's what we got stuck with.

@@jjtheenton This is what I was thinking. Back then, Mario, Zelda, and Metroid were considered Nintendo's top 3 franchises. Other M was what brought about it's decline.

@@jarde1989 Not sure what this really means. Splatoon and Animal Crossing weren't made by Miyamoto, but they are huge and get a bunch of attention from Nintendo. While franchises like Star Fox and Pikmin were created by Miyamoto but get very little attention.

The main issue is that people are so afraid of screwing it up. It's a franchise that you have to get right, your WILL face backlash (Looking at you, Other M).

​@Grano Onis that's good. That makes sure it will get proper attention and care. They should be scared of messing it up. But the con to that is they COULD mess up eventually. It's risky to touch old beloved franchises.

@@granoonis2080 it's part of the reason why Nintendo restarted development for Prime 4 and seeing how well Dread and Prime remastered has sold Metroid has a bright future ahead.

This game is more tense since you don't have no idea on what could happen on your first play through.

I can't count how many times I've beaten this game. And I'm sure I won't be able to count how many more times I'll beat it again.

Darkest probably goes to Prime 2 since that game is basically a horror movie, but Fusion is only second to it in showing how dark Metroid can go. Love both of them a lot

​@@ExtremeAce awesome it sound so good, I'm so keen to play it first time. I loved prime 2

literally everyone praises fusion nowadays. back in the day sure, i could understand considering it a bit underrated… but today? nah bro, the game receives constant appreciation.

It really makes it all seem so tense. I will definitely give this game a try.

It’s literally just the Wii U eshop trailer re-edited for switch

​@@Wario1382 You literally have Wario as a nick and pfp, so who're you calling shill? But I guess being rude is all you do.

I hope we get Metroid Zero Mission to the Nintendo Switch Online

​@@ThisGuyDannyyy we have all five main line Metroid games but I would like zero mission.

Hey good to see you here

Seriously this game is so good. Also don't stop the Futurama videos.

Again for you, but for me I'll be the first time.

Definitely!!!!

Lol

Again you say, for me it's gonna be the first time!

Agreed, pikmin has also received a similar treatment, it’s been nearly 10 years since pikmin 3 and there’s now going to be a 4th one

Now I just wish they’d show that love towards Star Fox and F-Zero

I mean naw it’s still Mario that makes their brand but it’s nice they know that it’s good to have other things besides that.

They have a shitton of IPs. They've always understood that. Metroid just was in... An unfortunate position let's say. Anyway, what's important is that Samus is back and I couldn't be happier

I’ll never understand why Metroid fans were so worried. Yeah they skipped Metroid for Wii U, but the franchise was never absent. People acting like it became shelved like StarFox or FZero

I played a little bit of prime back in the day but never beat it. Fusion is literally what got me into the metroid prime franchise.

Dude calm down

@@saints3824 Ur weird

Terror? A metroid game? What? You must be new to the series.

@@lizardguyNA the terror for Samus, especially later in Dread

@@lizardguyNA I can tell you've never played Fusion before.

This was my first and favorite of the 2D series. Excellent game I go back to every year.

@@lizardguyNA How is fusion not terror-inducing????

Contact me now,I've get a package for you🎁📦☝

Win after Win for us these past couple of years. I hope this is the second Metroid Renaissance we're witnessing.

how is it recently, metroid is in its best spot in history lol. After Prime 1 the franchise was already falling down again while now not only are the sales higher than ever they are also consistently high (it doesnt matter if one game's sales are high if everything that happens afterwards doesnt reaches half of it)

I need more Prime remasters.

getting us refreshed for prime 4 maybe?😳🤞🤞

For real, especially how they put this trailer together and showcased it here… 😶🫣

Dang, you must have been such an advanced baby! When I was that age I couldn't even play Frogger.

I don’t care

Isn’t it wierd that so many kids born during the gbas life time ended up playing the console. It technically had a short lifespan but it was popular on the second hand market till i think arguably the 2010s. I was born in 2001 and somehow I have vivid memories of playing Lego games on gba. Either that or I dreamt it all up to block out the DSi

@@joelsytairo6338 interestingly, this isn't the only set of kids that do this. People born in the 90s tend to gravitate towards consoles like the ps1 and n64.

Man y’all are young 😂😂😂 I was already 10 years old when this game dropped. Early 2000s were much better than the garbage we get now

Well some of these games have been on the wii u and 3ds digitally so it just a matter of when they want to ship it out.

Cry moar

@@chrisu9967 lmfao

@@saints3824 ??

All the main series from the NES to the Switch

@@TKnHappyNess Yep. 😎 Hopefully Zero Mission will be added.

l feel like it's definitely somewhere in the top5 of 2D metroid games

It's honestly in the top metroid games, not just 2D

I preferred Zero Mission to Fusion, but that’s because I liked the non-melodramatic talking. The appeal of Metroid has always been that lonely feeling of happening upon a world that has at one time some signs of intelligence, but was returning to its primal origin. Other M and Fusion had a lot more interpersonal drama than I thought enjoyable.

How about a digital release before we even begin to ask for physicals? The same thing happened when nintendo showed goldeneye 007, one guy assumed it was a digital release and wanted a physical.

Same here, this game holds a special place in my heart

@@bert7651 yeah they go hand in hand. the NSO games should be available for purchase separately digitally, akin to PS+ Premium classics being available for individual purchase. But it’s likely Nintendo makes more money on the subscriptions

Love your videos!

Hello there

It felt like it was around for much longer at the time, but I suppose that can be attributed to the passage of time being a different experience when you're younger.

Where does the narrative about the PSP come from? You don't just rush a product onto the market, especially when they labelled it as a third pillar before its success.

@@NuiYabuko As far as I can remember (and according to a quick google search) the DS was even announced before the PSP. My guess is that someone (or some people) at Nintendo was just passionate about the possibilities of touch screens for handheld gaming, and the whole thing was announced as a side-project (third pillar) just in case it didn't catch on. Plus, they might have realized the issues with how they were working on their third generation of 3D-focused home consoles while their handheld played like a souped-up SNES with fewer face buttons.

@@NuiYabuko have you studied the history of the DS? Rushing out that product is almost exactly what Nintendo did. Crazy how it was such a massive success though.

@@JediMB actually no, the PSP was revealed at E3 2003 (summer 2003), while Nintendo would reveal that a new handheld would release in 2004 in November of 2003.

people been sleeping on the Metroid series for so long. great to see it make it's come back and see a whole bunch of new players get to experience it.

I just started Golden Sun. I must say that I enjoy it.

I believe you wanted to say Zero Mission But I agree with you 100%, they're my favorite 2D old Metroid games far before the beloved Super Metroid for example

@@MineMen_IV Mission for sure… just typed it fast, and was thinking of the Zero Suit in that game lol

​@@MineMen_IV I agree. I didn't manage to track down a copy of Super until I had these games for years. I have a deeper connection with them.
