Super Metroid Is Hard.

[iGotTheSmores]

Just bought it on the Virtual Console. Using a GC controller makes SNES games feel a little more challenging and I'm not shelling out for a Classic Controller any time soon.

I think it ruins the feel and nostalgia of it, not necessarily make it tougher. Especially when you playing something like Super Metroid, Super Mario, or DKC.

Classic controller isn't no better.

I don't find Super Metroid that hard, but maybe because I'm from the old school

I always played hard games since I'm young, NES games were very hard (but I have difficulties at playing them again now, I became too lazy because of easiness of actual games ).

I completed Super Metroid many times, but I'm always looking for 100%, so I never ended it in less than 3hours.
after my first time finishing the game, I looked at a game guide to find missing items, now I don't use it anymore (don't use a guide before finishing the game by yourself first, it will give you even more satisfactions)

I'm always amazed at looking Super Metroid in assisted video, especially boss battles.

I'm currently playing Metroid Zero mission again, It's a nice one in the series.
Next one will be Metroid II, the only one I never played.

I wish I had Super Metroid for my SNES. I need it and Starfox to be happy with my SNES collection (which is feeble but is just a few decent games)

Did you mean to say that the classic controller was better? I'm never sure if people use double negatives on purpose.

Super Metroid wasn't that bad. At least you get a friggin' map! The original is tough as hell, coming from someone who for the longest time only ever played II on the Game Boy.

The only Metroid I haven't finished is Prime 3. And Other M I suppose, but not for long though.

Sorry but no. Super Metroid could be better if it was more harder.

Metroids by Sakamoto are piece of cake. He adds elements to make the game more easily (and made it more lineal...).

Well, for my, Metroid Prime of Retro Studios exceeded Super Metroid (and is SO MORE difficult).

What?

to me the hardest part is phantoon (the boss of the wrecked ship). other than that the game actually is not all that hard. wall jumping is hard to master but you'll be glad you master it (especially if you want 100%!).
i had trouble too when i first played (i had someone guiding me kinda though), but the main problem i had was defeating ridley.

dont give up on the game, it is totally worth it! i still tear up at a part during the last boss fight :*(

Metroid games on a whole are unbelievably easy (except for Prime 2, but the overall game design wasn't that good with the asinine backtracking), the hardest thing to do in the series is walljumping in certain games and the Prime 2 bossfights. Same goes with Zelda- though it's all Zelda games that have always been easy. Off the top of my head, the only tough big Nintendo franchise is Mario (not gonna count Fire Emblem here) and even then it's only a portion of the games in the series.

I beat under 2:00 100% items

no cheat

 

[sonknuck23]

Wow.

I beat it in 7 hours and 39 minutes, 62% items. Yeah, I JUST beat it now. Like, 5 mins. ago. I don't care if it took me forever, (of course I leave the game on a lot, I admit It did still take me forever.)

I beat it. I am happy, and now I can finish Other M.

See, for some reason, more than half-way through Other M, I decided to stop and play Super Metroid. And then, I decided I wouldn't touch other M until I beat Super Metroid. . well, I beat it. Chyea.

The only thing I find hard about this game is the controls. There are way too many buttons on the SNES controller and it doesn't need to be that way. If it was simplified to be more like the GBA Metroids, then I'd dominate that game easily. Plus I just hate playing these types of games on a console. I think it's much better suited off for the DS but alas, there are no good DS emulators that can run it.

 

[WiiUBricker]

I beat it over a decade ago in the first run. It's not that hard to beat, maybe you guys simply suck

 

[nutella]

I don't remember this being that hard. Granted, I don't even remember the first time playing this game, because I was like 4 or 5 or something. It's mad fun to speed run though.

 

[Blade4474]

Super Metroid isn't hard, your just a noob.

 

[Rydian]

I got lost when I hit the water as well, until I realized the special place to power bomb.

I had so much trouble with walljumping, I could just not get it... until I read one comment on youtube saying that you needed to press away from the wall BEFORE the jump button (unlike most other games where it's jump first).

Within like 5 minutes I had it mastered.

 

[JonthanD]

hehehe you kids and your guides.... I beat the first Metroid and Super Metroid all on my own (I was the local guide for my friends.)

Hard hmmm I found the NES one harder then then the SNES one, but they both are just awesome games.

Now if you really want a challenge try getting the poster shot at the end of Street Fighter 2 Turbo....

Thats a challenge, I doubt I could do it these days but I used to be able to do it on command back in the day lol

At difficulty level 8 the computer is pretty brutal lol

 

[sonknuck23]

Not really, I don't like SFII. (shoot me, who gives a fuck.)

And by the way, I never used a Guide for Super Metroid, and yeah, the NES one is MUCH harder, but personally, It took me 7 hours to beat the fuckin' game and I don't even care.

I beat it, that's all that matters.
