What happens when you release Super Metroid on WiiU?

[Foxi4]

Pff-- Metroid? Heroes of Might and Magic is where it's at.

that remind me of a final fantasy 4 user review for ios devices. it said it sucked because it was hard and cloud wasn't in it

HAHA! Oh noes, God forbid that a game actually require some skill!

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Oh right. Mega Man can shoot up too, and he can crawl, but Samus can't

Why would Samus crawl when she has the morph ball?

Beat it on the snes when it was new, I just picked it up for the Wii U. 30 cents was too cheap to pass up lol

Never beat it, but I figure, "meh, why not" and just got it for .30 cents myself

samus can't crawl but metroid can

Metroid is a pretty cool guy. Eh can crawl and doesn't afraid of anything.

The question is why doesn't she crawl when she doesn't have the morph ball? The finale of Metroid Zero Mission proves that she can.

 

[Bladexdsl]

because she's gotten real lazy since zero mission

Well she only did crawl in the Zero Suit, didn't she? Her normal Armor is probably to bulky to crawl in it. And who'd want to, using the Maru-Mari/Morph Ball is way cooler then mundane crawling.

I remember when I was 5 or 6 (kindegarten) I asked my junior highschool cousins if we could play Ocarina of Time. (I having never played it before, was excited beyond belief.) They said "Sure! But we have no idea where to go."
We loaded it up and they were in Kokiri forest. We wandered around a bit (They hadn't even gotten the sword or shield.) And they said "See? We have no idea!" I then proceeded to say: "Can you crawl through that hole?"
REVELATION!!

I always feel old when somebody tells stories where N64 or PS1 or even newer stuff was the first console they played or were recent before they got into elementary school.
I was 16 when Ocarina of Time came out. Although I only played it about 10 years later because I had no money to buy a N64 and did not really want to for the 5 or so good games.

I feel old when I hear stories of kids telling me the NDS lite/DSi was their first handheld. FIRST HANDHELD?! My first handheld was the gameboy color!!!

Oh god there are people now that can use the Internet doing this?
My first handheld with changeable games was a original Game Boy, back when it came with Tetris and there was only one colour available.
I had 3 or 4 LCD games before, but I am not sure if they really count.

doesnt super metroid tell you how to use the items when you get them (not a detailed tutorial, but good enough), so even if your a complete metroid noob, you should still know how to push down to use morph ball and how to use bombs, not sure if it tells you that missiles can open red doors, I forget, unless they just didnt read the message that pops up when you get a new weapon or too busy humming the music it plays

I'm not sure if Super Metroid did tell you what an item does, I think it did only tell the name and most items were described in the manual.
But because I looked it up over the weekend I am sure the game itself does not tell you about the red doors, but the manual does. The table of contents even lists a whole (1 page) chapter about opening doors.

And then there's me...

Spoiler

Yeah, I remember when I could 100% in under 3:30. Gotta get back up to that...

Another thing that bugs me is that people forget these games have manuals in the home menu. Always worth reading if you haven't played something in years. Always worth reading, period, in my opinion.
