|  "Metroid questions from a Metroid newbie."
, posted Mon 3 Feb 03:15
Hmmm... My first Metroid has been Fusion, and I love it. I'm eager to play the rest of the saga, and with Prime, i'll be able to play two more (Prime and the first Metroid). However, some say Fusion is the less good of the rest. And I ask: why? Good action with a really good difficulty (difficult, but beatable), interesting story, great level design & game structure, very good music and art...
Questions:
1) What makes other Metroids better (at least for some people).
2) Is always so short?
3) I heard Metroid Prime is a remake of sorts of the first Metroid. True?
4) What's the exact chronology of the Metroid games? (spoilers free, if possible).
Thanks! ^_^

1. Super Metroid's still my favorite. More real exploration than Fusion, you weren't really told where to go as much, and most exploring wasn't limited to "bomb until you find it."
2. Depends on how good you are.
3. No. It takes place between Metroid 1 and 2.
4. This is all you really need to know: Metroid 1 -> Prime -> 2 -> Super Metroid -> Fusion. With the exception of Prime, they all have sequential numbers. Well, did. Metroid Fusion was originally known as Metroid IV, but I forget if it still says that in the intro. I know Super Metroid still does.

1. agreed with Grave. I played it the first and, since I didn't know anything about it, it was quite a "discovery"... There were the X-Ray visor and the grapling beam that Fusion doesn't have, too. And the atmosphere was sooo freakin' good (better than Fusion IMO)... Better music too, me thinks. And I don't like Samus' new design nor the ship. I'd put Fusion in the 2nd place though, very close.
But I warn you, playing the first Metroid after Super Metroid may be a little frustrating since most of Super's and Fusion's movements are missing, even some as elementary as ducking...
2. Depends on how good you are, on the percentage you wanna achieve, the time you wanna spend to get the different endings. I've read in many places though, that Fusion's indeed the shortest Metroid.
4. As Grave said. Grave: They say it's Metroid 4 in the intro, yes, and the plot shows it clearly. As for spoilers, you already have read a big one if you've got through Fusion (won't tell you where, of course)
PD: En honor a la verdá, tengo que decir que solo m'he pasao el Super ^_^U (y yo aquí voy desperto...  ). Pero bueno, después dexámenes ya caerá el Fusion, que poco le falta. Los otros dos ya, sin mapa me da pereza...
PPD: Qué porcentaje t'hiciste?
Himawari chan ain't she cute?

La primera vez, un 50 y pico en unas 6 horas. Ahora voy a por el 100%, actualmente llevo ya el 95%. La próxima vez que juege, iré a por menos de 2 horas, y lo de menos de 2 horas Y el 100%... passso, gracias...
anda... dónde se mira el porcentaje actual durante la partida? eso me iria muy bien, pq no tengo ni puñetera idea de cuanto tengo...
La primera vez que te lo haces, te lo dice al final, y si empiezas una partida nueva a partir de la que te acabastes, en el mapa puedes ver el porcentaje y el tiempo que llevas, así como los items que has completado en cada zona (por ejemplo, te dice si ya has recogido todos los misiles del sector 1, etc...). Eso sí, te tienes que pasar el juego al menos una vez.
Hale, me voy a dormir.
