Metroid Prime - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. WallyTheLegend 

Here here

Feels so nostalgic hearing about the dread secret whle bringing in my package with metroid dread in it inside

As we all know now Metroid project Dread has reached completion, and we can all thank Mercury Steam for that with their wowing Nintendo with their work on Metroid Samus Returns. I have completed the game 100% and I can tell you it was worth the wait. Now I don’t want to spoil anything, but I will tell you this much; Samus heads to a new planet after the Galactic Federation sent robots known as E.M.M.Is to the planet to deal with X Parasites, the very same creatures that caused so much trouble in fusion, and when the Federation lost contact with the E.M.M.Is Samus is sent to continue what they started, and upon arriving on the planet Samus is attacked by a living, breathing chozo who is far more powerful than her and for some reason decides to spare her, Samus then wakes up and begins her journey. And that was just the intro I described and summarized, the rest of the game is still awesome

FUCK RELIGION

Or you know, they used a literal Japanese interpretation of what he said and that wasn't what he actually meant.

Albert Trejo GL, Bowser will kill you

True. Miyamoto is Overrated.

Travalon that and give him credit for something entirely different, seems like Nintendo as a whole gives him way too much credit.

POOPING!

that's honestly crazy what a trip that's its actually here.

+Ryan Gonzalez ....Was that a pun?

Metroid Prime 2 made scanning much more enjoyable, both because you can easily tell at a glance what was already scanned and because enemies you scan have viewable 3D models, giving you a more visual reward since it allows you to appreciate the detailing on them outside of a combat situation. It's especially incentivizing to scan the bosses since you only get one shot at it.

Same. I thought it added depth and an element of investigation

Scanning is excellent for worldbuilding

I also loved the scanning part of the Prime games!! It was part of the compulsive part of my youth... I had way more time to be a completionist as a kid!😅

Nah, Samus Returns is something else But Metroid Dread is actually know now as Federation Force, yea that's quite hard to swallow

Samus Aran And **shivers** other M

too bad that it sucked

What?! Where did they confirm Federation Force to be Dread?

@@bombalisa2724 They never did

Here I am

MyNameIsChris At least Miyamoto doesn't try to be philosophical, and just trolls around.

MyNameIsChris holy shit

But Miyamoto is secretly a genius. Jayden Smith is a fucking idiot.

The cryptic comments he made

MyNameIsChris Except there is a point to what Minamoto says. He's not just talking out his ass like Jaden.

Aura Fox I don't know about everyone, but I tend to forget about the scan visor most of the time.

shadowchaos5150 The scan Visior was a blast in the first minutes of the game. It gave Metroid Prime a horror like appearence. You are on a damaged space-station, with heavily injured space pirated and you're asking yourself: "What the heck is going on here? What caused that damage?" I was scared like I was playing resident evil or silent hill.

Aura Fox I really liked the scan visor. It was a really great way to learn the lore like you said and it was a great way to help out new players. Plus it was optional so people who did not care about the lore or did not need help did not need it. My only issue was how you needed it to unlock the secret endings. The scan visor made me hate the Spider Ball Guardian in Prime 2 and vise-versa.

Aura Fox It was tedious. You lock onto something & wait a second or two for it to tell you something about a monster your could probably have guessed just by looking at the thing yourself. Either that or it told you something trivial you'd forget immediately after reading. And the worst part is, you needed to do this to EVERYTHING to get 100%. I don't like collecting pointless shit just to get a 100% completion, but I think that's pretty popular in Japan.

Brandonious15987 What secret ending(s) are locked behind scans? Because I've done 100% Item pick-up runs and gotten the "secret" endings in all three Prime games. Do you only need a certain scan percentage? Or does it have to be 100%?

Exactly .. It's something they need to keep for prime 4

Same here.

I just beat the game, and I only missed a single scan and I feel like a failure.

WULFF DEN dude i love your vids

He was talking about the bugs eyes vision.

Metroid DREAAAAAADDD!!!1!!

Nope just Japanese

Captain Olimar Next Level Games, judging by their Metroid prototype, were clearly a much better fit for Luigi's Mansion than they were for Metroid, so I think it's better to wait for a more appropriate developer to deliver a stronger Metroid experience than to choose one franchise over the other.

RustyKoi Know what? You are totally right. We don't want another Other M, do we? ... I miss Retrostudios...

RustyKoi I imagine the developers behind the Halo series would some day work on a Metroid game.

TechnoMaru Nooooo thankyou, did you see what a snoozefest Destiny was? Bungie made one good series, Halo. They spent so long making Halo they don't know how to make other things.

I know right? Destiny , to me, is like a microtransaction kind of game. is it even a game like that or is it just me?

Yeah we're getting prime 4

There's a rumored 2d metroid game and we might get the prime trilogy on switch too. Fingers crossed for both :)

Go back, go back, the future's not safe! Samus returns was pretty sweet tho.

gillythekid No, you need a new scooby doo game!

gillythekid If you have a PS3 (PS4? I don't remember), there's a game called Axiom Verge that seems like a good game, similar to the Metroid series.

littleboyred1 eeeehhhh!! lol :D

The RU-vid Game yup. i've been wanting to check out axiom verge SO badly but alas, i don't own a ps4.

The RU-vid Game Coming to PC soon~

And how nobody would notice it’s revival

@@pokejoseph I noticed. :)

Haedox Not after a new scooby doo game

Its you again?!?!?!!

Haedox Best game ever.

Sebastian Cervantes Makes Films :D WE NEED A NEW SCOOBY DOO GAME OMG

I wish......

I don't know, Nintendo is good at developing games, not storytelling. I prefer the cryptic enigmatic nature of Metroid where the tone and usually story are set by the game. We've seen what happens when Nintendo doesn't rely on Metroid's strengths but on modern AAA game design tropes where cutscenes are constantly employed to tell the story.

Sjono An origin story of how she became a famous hunter would be badass.

Or a game where she did actual bounty hunting ;)

Sjono Sakamoto probably learned from his past mistakes and will PROBABLY try to write a MUCH better story than Other M if he decides to make a cinematic Metroid game set after Fusion.

Deathlulzstudios How about fuck that guy and get a new lead for that. I have learned in recent years most of the bad decisions about Other M came from him

Um . Yeah it's been a while since it released

@@yassinashraf1235 Sure, I beat it and loved the ending!!!

@@mourilo1333 really, how was the ending I didn't see it yet

+MetroidJunkie2007 Yessss All the info from the hud was fun too. The visor and alternate visors were so cool. :D

***** I wouldn't mind seeing a 2.5-D one where it's 2D platforming in a fully 3D environment considering even the handhelds (3DS) have reached the point where it can do shader effects well enough that I think such a thing would look great.

***** It's just 2D platforming with 3D models, I don't mean give it layered platforming.

***** What style would they use? Just a smoother version of Super Metroid? It would look pretty dated for a modern game. Even if they did do 2D, they'd probably go the Mario Maker (NSMB theme) approach and use pre-rendered 3D sprites.

A 2.5d Metroid would be awesome.

Other m is not a good game but in no means did it destroy the series. It's not sonic 06

tjlnintendo I hope you're right... and I hope Nintendo won't keep presenting Samus the way they did in Other M...

budooooooo The story of the game and the way they portrayed Samus was terrible. But honestly in my opinion, the gameplay of Other M was fantastic.

dudez32 Yes, the gameplay was good

budooooooo Other M was good, it's just the story could've been better

jcnba28 I want a new scooby doo D:

I want a Midnas ass please

Corbin Balliet check e621, search midna

Or, Google Midna 3x, have fun!

I guessing you're really pumped right now then...

Foxko Creates Why not, Waluigi?

Nitrous Oxide That's not a choice.

iEliteLionZ Waluigi is always a choice.

Waluigi is great too but even if he was an option I would still vote Wario. It's just that he happens to be one of favorite Nintendo characters.

ZombiEBenoiT cool. all caps is real cool.

chris w Viacom falsely claimed footage of a Metroid Prime cutscene.

thanks

I knew Viacom was stupid, but I didn't know they were THAT stupid.

DidYouKnowGaming? How do you guys not have your videos about Nintendo games taken down by Nintendo for featuring copyrighted material? Aren't you subject to the rules of their partnership programme?

***** nintendo only claims ad revenue

Captain Damnitt Done. It's pretty fucking great.

Read the Wikipedia dude. The art of the environment and monster ideas are just amazing!!! And the story is just bananas! metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Metroid_1.5

Gatoray and also a scooby doo game

Gatoray worth

I'm a big metroid fan, but Luigis Mansion Dark Moon is a fantastic game

Luigi is love, Luigi is life

Gatoray I liked the original better.

Crimson Ace YES! and he can do Scooby Doo!

Mr. Ace, I'm going to level with you here, Yes, they should

Yes pls.

Crimson Ace And Classic game room!

I want this!

Puella Magi Big Boss I'm sure it is, but having played the very first bit of the first game I felt absolutely no desire to continue. Please convince me that it's a good game so I actually do go back and play this supposed masterpiece

I now respect you for your comment and your username.

Big b00ze, I thought you were dead man

Daniel Ostrowski did you get past the tutorial? If not, then do yourself a favor and continue. The thing that sets this game apart is the level design. The levels aren't intricated mazes, but you can tackle them in various ways. All the areas are connected, and the backtracking never feels like a chore just because of how many new things you can get on your way back. The beam system makes it so you won't just have an extremely OP “wide long plasma wave ice spamkill beam of destruction” by the end. Scanning is, admitedly, a chore and a pain if you want 100% but not really needed to complete the game. The music is also pretty cool but hey, different strokes for different bounty hunters I guess. Hope I've been clear :D

Daniel Ostrowski Some of the best bosses and music in a fps. Really old so available on the cheap cheap.

***** Why not a new scooby doo game?

Sebastian Cervantes Makes Films :D Better question; Why a scooby doo game?

U mean 2.5D XD

tjlnintendo​ You never know, they could use 2-D sprites. 

Zeode X. I'm talking about the Prime game that got cancelled when I said 1.5.

+Rowan Atkinson you mean Sakamoto? Yeah, funny that the guy who helped create Metroid didn't like Prime and ended up taking the series in the totally opposite direction. I really hope Retro get reign of Metroid again and give us another open world FPS.

Stephen Weir I want both, Prime 4 and 2D handheld sidescroller

SinuousCobra8989 it was a bad Metroid game. Metroid is not a linear expostion driven series, it's exploration based.

SinuousCobra8989 no it wasn't, it's probably the most open world games of the series. To the point of being problematic.

+WarriorOfWriters Metroid Fusion is extremely linear, to the extent that it's technically impossible to sequence break, but people still consider that a good and proper Metroid game.

Kai Rekdahl From what I heard, Retro Studios was going to put in bounties as side missions in Prime 3 but Nintendo disproved of the idea. (She may as well just be employed by the galactic federation then!) You know who else shares that "job"? Captain Falcon from F-Zero. It's a racing game yeah but aside from a couple descriptions of characters, I have never once seen him do it. Same goes for Samus. I don't think Nintendo knows what a bounty hunter is...

100% agree

Aeoncalcos91 My theory of Nintendo's definition of "Bounty Hunter: A person who wears armor, flys a spaceship and may or may not be armed. Basically its their way of allowing a character to have weapons without them been a "soldier".

Not bad...

Phoenix Wright AKA Feenie cyberpunk 2077?

YES!

Dudleyville I agree while it would have tons of episodes and by that tons of work.

Dudleyville This, definitely.

Unfortunately the Metroid series doesn't sell as well and Nintendo being first and foremost a company probably decided to focus on the more profitable title.

That makes no sense to me seeing as all the Metroid games sold well. Even Other M sold really well.

rvnender Yes, because *everyone* cares as much about Metroid as you. :P

Ethan Jones Luigi's Mansion 2 sold more than any of the Prime games. Makes perfect sense to me.

Ethan Jones No the Prime series sold dreadfully. Granted as far as I'm aware, on the GCN only Double Dash and Melee had decent sales.

Nintendo seriously don't know what they're doing

You do realize Tanebe has gone on record to confirm FF is a prelude plot wise to Prime 4? Which Nintendo has confirmed is in development twice?

Jacob Heward So no retro?

SmashBrosPip&Pop Retro Studios is supervising FF as the assistent directors. (In fact the Chibi Art style was Retro's idea, Next Level wanted a comic book style like Ultimate Spider Man) Furthermore Tanebe was one of the scriptwriters for the main Prime Trilogy (Im unsure about Prime Hunters though) I think it's safe to say they're working on Prime 4 as well.

SmashBrosPip&Pop As for Retro Metroids (As in 2D metroids) they've said Metroid Dread is technically just sitting in development hell at Other M's reveal. Plus a Metroid II remake is still possible....

Lincoln Edwards Just like Super Metroid or Fusion?

YES !

97alexk ya that is the problem but Metroid was different until Team Ninja fuck it up. Nintendo actually had to feud on why Zero Suit Samus couldn't be in every cut scene..

***** ya it was so bad that the fans want it wipe from the franchise's cannon

Yes even though the game play was pretty good, it was the most story driven. So it got annoying fast. It was so bad I couldn't ignore it and made me give more fucks than ever about how important story is in metroid games.

LIQUIDFGC Yea, that cliffhangder at the end of MP3 credits...also Hunters was pretty cool.

LIQUIDFGC I recall an interview with Kensuke Tanabe (one of the devs of Prime who's had quite an impact on the games) saying that the ship in Prime 3's ending was indeed Sylux and he wanted to make a new "Prime" game focused on stuff like the Galactic Federation and Samus and Sylux's interactions. Of course, the downside is that it would take a looooong time. Like, NX-would-be-out long. Though the fact that they're giving it that much attention is absolutely excellent. (for reference: www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-17-next-proper-metroid-prime-would-likely-now-be-on-nx)

diortem emirp I'm getting this everywhere, I did indeed hear the interview and it pleases me,

LIQUIDFGC Kensueke Tanabe is in talks about the idea of a game concerning a history between Sylux and Samus actually. Which is poor news because Tanabe is currently the man who is trying to kill the series with Federation Force and is being about as shitty of a developer as you can be to your fans without directing raising the middle finger. He blatantly is looking the audience in the eye and claiming the world will automatically love Federation Force "Once it's in their hands" even though he also said he knew everyone would hate it. If Tanabe is making it, there is no hope of your Sylux game being good. There isn't even hope for Metroid if Tanabe continues a career.

***** You're being a little too pessimistic here. Tanabe worked on EVERY Prime game, and quite a few other games too. Plus, how is he being shitty? He just said he expected people would have a violent reaction when they see the game because they're all "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" which is exactly what happened. Furthermore, he's saying that the game will be better with hands-on exposure instead a handful of trailers. Not to mention you don't know if this game's good, or if this new Sylux and Samus Metroid game is good (BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST YET) all because of one Producer of the game? What about all the other people working on it, are they just nothing? Tanabe may not make FF and the next Metroid the best games, but I highly doubt they'll be the death of the series especially when one isn't EVEN BEING DEVELOPED YET, and the dude seems like a nice guy, not all high and mighty and all "YOU JUST DON'T GET MY VISION BECAUSE YOU'RE DUMB" Although if Metroid has fans that are so quick to take to the internet with complaints over something like this maybe something that bad is what we deserve.

Technically you got your wish

Get what you get and don't throw a fit.

A actual Metroid game

Good save.

Daniel Blaze AM2R look it up you will NOT be disappointed

Wolf O'Donnell eat me

+Wolf O'Donnell (I Steal Profile Pics DWI) Well then they should have done it correctly, then.

+Wolf O'Donnell (I Steal Profile Pics DWI) Yeah, me either. btw eat Gary

***** YES.

Wolf O'Donnell mm

They said they'd love to do more of each of those games. Nothing was ever announced and it was basically just to calm down fans who think Nintendo has abandoned Metroid.

wonderguardstalker Well yeah of course is not a main announcment but they did say they considered doing both again just like with prime and fusion. The news are all over the inernet now

wonderguardstalker If anything I think that's made the fans even more thirsty for new Metroid info. Source: I'm really hoping for something Metroid at this E3.

Geonosian Warrior I feel like a 3D side scroller would serve the series well, like Donkey Kong Country with an arm cannon and puzzles to solve.

eddythelol retro is not the same

Well there's a fan project that does just this very thing, I wish it were official. I'd also like a collection released of the 2d games at least

Yeah I want a revival of the 2D Metroid games and 2 would be a nice one to begin. However, I fear Other M's reception might have swayed Nintendo away from those titles and push them to mainly focus on 3D first person Metroid games.

Alexx1083 look up AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake)

***** I sincerely doubt that they'd bother with ANY Metroid games if Other M's reception actually had that kind of influence on them.

psychokinrazalon I think they will, unless the series misses a generation, I would worry. IMO 5 years is not much creatively speaking. There will be another Metroid game eventually.

My problem with it is they put no effort to really make it fun. In terms of depth, it looks like something for smartphones rather than a dedicated system. I enjoyed Metroid Prime Pinball and it's easily the least Metroid Metroid game ever made.

it's there as a set up 4 prime 4

Eric Oliveira eyyyy

Opera mask inspiration maybe.

Why?!

no one talks about it. they just talk about WL3.

Shadow the Hedgehog I think you meant to say... " *_W A H_* "

I don't think anyone in the universe wants that game, they'd have to be from an alternate dimension to think that that's Metroid

Draco491Central Which game are you referring to?

Federation Force

A lot of us would agree with you, and seeing how Gumpei Yokoi isn't with us anymore. He was the very life essence of both Kid Icarus, and Metroid. Respectfully Metroid came first, and then Kid Icarus.

When did Retro ever confirm that? Source please. Not like it means much though, the old director of the Prime series at Nintendo(Takahashi) says they were having internal discussions about the series(2D and 3D) back in 2014.

Gunpei worked on OG metroid and served as general manager for SNES Metroid and obviously had nothing to do with Prime. I'd hardly call him 'very life essence' of Metroid. He could only be called that for the very first game and second if that(he was producer). Even then that game had four creators and Sakamoto was the one who actually directed or supervised development of the games and Kano as scenario writer and co-designer of the second game.

+SaintAlia_of_the_Games Gumpei actually died after the development of the Virtual Boy, he made Metroid games better even the series the best. If he had lived, maybe Metroid Fusion would have been better in fact Metroid Other M. Could possibly become even better then it had been

Smalltummywonderful Yeah I don't know about him making the games 'better.' since SUper Metroid was the best one in the series and he had a smaller role in that game Ironically if he had his way the Metroid series would have ended after Super Metroid anyway.

Chrisby 101 you mean a part two on f-Zero right?

Wow, I totally forgot they already made a f-zero DYKG...well then this is awkward... YEAH MAKE A F-ZERO PART 2 (preferably more Captain Falcon facts)!!!!!!

Not the one shown in the video, but yeah.

Angolin All game companies cancel projects every year, we just don't hear about it.

ChrysOtaku FINALLY, SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY AGREES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPINION TO EXIST

(Years later) Me too!😅 Another case of only reading something and not having heard it before. He prolly got it by now!

i live in the US and i hate the scanning. im just glad for the most part it can be skipped all together

Why would they remake the Prime Trilogy yet again, when it was already made for Wii, and did have HD support then?

The main reason scanning in prime worked when it doesn't in other games is that it rewarded you with extraneous lore.

Prime 2 revamping the scanning system was a God's send. You can now know from a glance what's important, what's good for keeping a record of, and what you've already scanned. Also helps that it has a model viewer, incentivizing you to scan enemies and especially bosses. Good thing they thought ahead and gave you an opportunity to scan the Spider Guardian before the fight begins.

What about SS HD for the Switch?
