As I recall, they have been explained as being an aggressor species with their own fully developed civilization who are expanding into the Galactic Federation's territory. The Federation doesnt know what they call their species, so they have been unofficially officially dubbed Space Pirates due to their penchant for raids and ambushes as opposed to fully-committed interstellar war. Given how they act it seems likely that they wouldn't openly engage the Federation in full scale war until/unless they were certain of overwhelming victory, they are sneaky like that.

I prefer Zero Mission to Super Metroid because of the story elements like the mural of the Chozo Guardian in a Varia Suit and the detail of kiddo Samus's crude drawing of herself with Old Bird and Grey Voice in one corner - the little touches that underscore that this was once her home. That direct connection to her history with the planet puts ZM over the top for me.

I think its a fair assumption, that based on the backstory of the Metroid universe, the F-Zero series also takes place in the same unified galactic government. I even remember back in the late 90s, there were many fans who thought Samus and C.Falcon were siblings, apparently backed up by some piece of media (comic?), but I have never actually seen said source, official or not, so it was probably just a fan theory, but I would personally buy that connection.

@Jmac1493 4 года назад

Metroid Fusion has always been my favorite. I always thought the platforming in Super Metroid was less precise along with a clunky HUD and a dash button. In Metroid Fusion, all you need to do is hold R for your weapons and you already run fast enough so I never feel that I am missing a dash button.

@cypher838 3 года назад

Super metroid tbf had a massive map, which warrented having a run button. Fusion had a more condensed map and samus was naturally fast.

@legrandliseurtri7495 3 года назад

Fusion and Zero's mission Samus is way to slow, one of the only thing that I like better about Super's controls is the run button. Am2r solved this problem by making the morph ball faster and having a faster shinespark start and finish animation so that it's actually worth using it.

@@Sluppie Storywise, I can see that. The Space Pirates are dead, the Metroids are dead, the X Parasites are dead.

I imagine the 'Smash' games are a planet the characters all travel to to hone their skills, gladiator style, but no one can actually die on the planet or something...Idk. That's why I liked Brawl so much, it actually gave story to the game.

4:31 try AM2R because when you freeze anything. even a flying creature they fall to the ground and shatter. the Metroid don’t shatter but still fall to the ground. its a cool effect and good attention to detail

@@SureenInk No the traitor was James iirc. MB killed him in a cutscene when he tried to assassinate her. She summoned a bunch of monsters to kill him. The game never explains any of this, you have to pay close attention to the cutscenes

Metroid Fusion was how I was introduced to the series, so I have soft spot for it. However, Metroid Zero Mission is absolutely fantastic. The movement and combat mechanics are crisp and it's jaw-dropping how many alternate routes and shortcuts were built into the map. LOADS of replayability. Ended up unlocking all 8 endings for it.

@IsraelSetroxGaming 4 года назад

So your telling me that metroid fusión is the last game in the series story wise WHAAAATTT and here I was thinking it was like the front runner that lead to everything else.

THE OG METROID was the greatest gaming experience of my childhood. I can ALWAYS tell when someone didn’t find that game first. I had never played a spooky dark game like that. Before METROID there was nothing like METROID. Before “super” Metroid, there was, ah, METROID!!!

@legrandliseurtri7495 3 года назад

That's good and all, but now the game kinda sucks. Awful controls, small world, few powerups, lazy design of vertical rooms(despite playing zero mission before, I had trouble knowing where I was), and I could keep going...

Hey really great video I absolutely love the metroid series and can't wait for Metroid Prime 4.
