Ooooooh, another 2d Metroid, now if Konami would bring us another 2d Castlevania.

"Samus without Power Suit??!!" , posted Tue 13 Jan 04:11

From the official page:

(...)that lurk in the deepest sections of Norfair. The Space Pirates are no pushovers either, and you won't always have the Power Suit to protect you.

Yup, as you read it. Sounds very, very risky though... hope they don't screw this up, because it looks really promising.

Another comment worth remarking, they say that, since the surprise in Metroid ain't so anymore, they've added another one:
Plus, if you thought that the original Metroid had a surprise ending, wait until you get past the Mother Brain in Metroid: Zero Mission. A new twist provides a deeper adventure than ever before.
Same as before, I'm afraid that this new 'surprise' could ruin the known plot so far (you know how I am...). Else, it'll rock!

And that Power Charge looks neat (You can see it in the video). It's just that uberjump you could do when charged after sprinting, but quite improved, since you can go on running after it (I think this already was in Fusion, though), and do it while "ball-morphed".

If this is half as good as Metroid Fusion (since I've not played the original Metroid), then I'm sold. MF has been one of the best purchases for my GBA.

Use Time Magic to control time and space. Extremely useful allies.

Well, I'm all for it, but this is pretty obviously a retcon to make both the events of Metroid Prime more concrete and setup Metroid Prime 2, ie: explaining just what the hell that thing was in the ending.

In either way, so long as they don't undo metroid 2, the continuity is preserved.

Viva la metroid.

Awesome. But, from the movies on the official page, was there anyone else thinking that the theme music still needs to be tweaked around a bit? It sounds like some of the instruments need to have their volumes adjusted (lower)...

Don't worry,I doubt Prime 2 will be out before HyperCube (lol), though they may show that same footage at E3 again this year. Still being developed by americans, so you know Big N won't say anything until it's exactly like they want it.

Well let's see.... Metroid seems to copy Alien for plot points at times. So did 'Alien:the Director's Cut' have a new twist ending? It's probably like that then...

Or wait! If I put two and two together it's obvious... after motherbrains defeat AND mentioning Samus without a powersuit must mean

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Samus flees the exploding exploding planet, thinking she's safe she removes her power suit to go to sleep. BUT a Metroid snuck aboard her ship and now Samus has to fight it in her underwear until it's sucked out into space a la the original Alien!

End of Spoiler

(spoiler used just to be stupid... and to protect those who STILL haven't seen Alien, though you really don't deserve it, it's like putting "Luke I am Your Father!" in spoilers in case someone's never heard of Star Wars)

This picture is unusally orange

Hmmmmm.... Yeah, I think you could be right, that sounds quite possible.

Er... yea, anyways, Justin Bailey -------------- was the password you typed into the original Metroid in order to play as Samus without her Power Suit.

...she had green hair back then.

In the late 90s I mentioned something about Samus revealed as being a girl in the ending of the NES game. Some girl got all up set when she heard that, saying that I spoiled it and she hadn't won the game yet.

Think happy thoughts.

Actually, the green haired version is her + the barrier (varia) suit. She has blonde if you don't have the varia suit, which the Justin Bailey code doesn't permit. You need the famicom disk version to play through without armor + no items.

Edit: I hope the Mother Brain actually has dialogue for once.

Yeah. It's completely impossible to use her without the barrier suit in the U.S. version. The U.S. version has lots of fun bugs and the famous "phantom areas", though, a byproduct of converting a famicom disk game with a save function to a regular game with a password function.

Wow. Learn something new every day. Thanks!

...the original famicom version had a SAVE function? Boy, do I feel like I missed out. Writing down passwords was soooooo annoying. ...especially since you had to KILL yourself to get them. Or do that up up b a trick or whatever the buttons were (...that automatically killed yourself)

Indeed. Having to play it with passwords and suicides is the main reason that's kept me from playing this game.

Why the fuck do they (whoever "they" are, from here or from there) always make Western versions suck so much??!!

I hated this, and that's probably my reason to hate the game until now. Or maybe because the original NES version plainly sucks.
And since most of the games on famicom disk had saves, games like Kid Icarus, Castlevania or Rygar were much more easy to finish.

No, the Smoking Man & friends.

I meant whoever decide/s to make the Western versions worse, whether by changing to passwords, censoring, awfully dubbing, etc. Of course, "they" are different people for every game, company and/or whatever else.
