What happens when you release Super Metroid on WiiU?

[BORTZ]

So what can we take away from this? The general public gamers have gotten significantly dumber in 20 years.

I bet if I told all those people that back then, any 6 year old kid was able to figure that shit out without ever asking anyone for help, they wouldn't believe me.

 

[Clydefrosch]

the build in manuals are terrible though... at least they were on wii vc.
never looked into a single one.
had they just scanned the original manuals, it would have been awesome

Or maybe in the past people knew that they HAD to figure it out themselves as there was no internet back then. Now, everyone can find answers to everything on the internet so they became lazy and won't think for themselves.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

To be fair I'm sure some idiots couldn't figure it out when Super Metroid came out all those years ago, we just hear about it more now because the gaming base is larger, more diverse, and a lovely thing called the internet.

 

[ohsoroso]

I can't wait to see what people are gonna say if Castlevania comes to Wii U VC!

Basically yeah. Granted the people who are asking for real and not trolling, in their defense, Super Metroid is a bit of a bitch to figure out, but in a fun a way. I feel as if Metroid Prime had it done perfectly. It had that perfect level of exploration of "where do I go?" but it wasn't overly hard like say as the original Metroid.

what will happen when they fall down in to "that place" where you must wall jump out

 

[Cyan]

One of the two places where you have gameplay hint !

 

[Veho]

This reminds me of all that reader mail in the game help sections of gaming magazines. "Dear magazine, I'm stuck on world 1.1 of Super Mario, halp plz." Not much has changed.

 

[Taleweaver]

Seriously, though, how do these people... exist on a daily basis? How can they possibly function?

I guess they don't fire all their missiles into the door if the first one doesn't succeed.

Don't these games come with a built-in manual or something?
Then again, they probably wouldn't find it anyway

They do. And get ready to laugh your ass off, because I actually had to use it to find out how to morph in a ball.

Back in mah day, gamers were SMART!

 

[loco365]

"Is there any option to enhance the graphics". >_>

How does this actually happen. Like really.

Did the original SNES release of Super Metroid come with the strategy guide in the US like here in Germany/Europe?

 

[TheCasketMan]

I like the "how do I beat this guy" and "y can't metroid crawl." This people should go back and play angry birds.

 

[Gabelvampir]

Ah seems that strategy guide in the game box thingy many SNES RPGs had was done for Super Metroid only for the release in Germany. I wonder why the thought they had to do this. We got the other 2 Metroids before that and it's not like we were more stupid back then then the gamers in other countries.
And for Super Metroid if you have patience you should only need this if you want to find every container item.

Wait, yours came with a strategy guide back then?
I don't remember that being the case for mine (and it was the standard release, not second hand or anything).

 

[BORTZ]

Well you also have to think about the mentality and the hand holding of games now a days. The gaming industry basically spoon feeds you have to play, quick time events, tutorials, and such. Back then, Metroid taught you how to play Metroid, by playing it. No help menu, no tuts, no nothing.

``why can´t metroid crawl??´´
LMAO
