Well no... She's the Metroid Dread. I mean what better way to call the ultimate Metroid hunter, who slayed the Metroid Queen in Metroid 2, becoming the last and ultimate Metroid herself?
I mean, this would be a baller teaser line to have for future Metroid game. Aside from the callback, imagine just how the fans minds would race if we got a teaser that was just that line along with confirmation that it was a sequel.
I like the detail that Raven Beak's armor protected him and she only got through because of the little crack on his helmet she gave him during their first encounter
That bossfight took me quite a few tries, so when Samus was just screaming at his face and not letting go at him, I really felt some deep validation. She had just as much enough of this guy as I had.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had as much difficulty in playing a Metroid game before. The only time that I ever came close to the frustration that I felt playing Dread due to it's difficulty was Fusion (specifically, the spider boss). But when even minibosses are hard to kill, you know the game is just too difficult. It's almost as difficult as Ghosts 'n Goblins on NES.
The VA for Samus was so on point in Dread. The soft, caring tone when speaking to that chozo earlier, the sheer scream of desperate rage here... fantastic.
Her name is Nieves "Nikki" García. She's a veteran Spanish voice actor and singer (the gane was developed in Spain, after all). If you want to hear her, she dubbed Naomi Scott in the Aladdin live action remake, and her rendition of "Speechless" ("No callare" in Spanish) is really powerful. Which begs the question...does that turn Samus into a Disney Princess by proxy? lol

Someone did the numbers....somewhere, I think it was on reddit. Samus has destroyed, or been involved in the destruction, directly or indirectly in around 30% of the planets we know she has been on. This is a concerning number. Samus for god of destruction 2022.
you do know it isnt samus that destroys it? Zebes was destroyed by a time bomb set by the pirates, phaaze died after dark samus died, dark aether collapsed as a result of samus taking the last of the planetary energy, SR388 was from the BSL exploding in close proximity to it and finally zdr was destroyed by itorash somehow. Samus herself has never destroyed a planet
Love the symbolism of her being the last Metroid killing the last X Parasite and X Quiet Robe giving himself up so Samus can go back to normal (at least pre Metroid suit) and escape the ZDR’s destruction
And don't forget that she didn't exactly lost her metroid powers. For what I can understand from the Lore she was Mawkin genetically dominant and she wasn't able to control her powers, and considering that Metroids were designed to be controlled by the Thoha and aggressive against the Mawkin tribe. Now that Samus can control her Metroid genetic, it open more possibilities for game dynamics in future games.
@@dnor16 yeah that mostly makes sense. It seems Quiet robe X calm her down giving her Thoha/Thoja DNa controlling he Metroid DNA or at least making it more docile and going dormant
@@masonhill5157 i think the Chozo knew this day were coming, and made sure everything was prepared. They were the ones that made the Metroids. The Chozo gave Samus 2 sets of DNA, the warrior and the set that prevents Metroids from losing their shit facing warrior Chozo like Raven beak. So they prepared for the future, so that Samus could become the ultimate warrior, a Metroid herself. Maybe she will be able to control those powers and we might see something similar to what dark Samus could do. Like the echo clones and stuff.

Kind of interesting that, while the X are supposed to be essentially mindless mimics, Quiet Robe there either is in control... or the X that took his form took so MUCH of his form that it gained his memories as well, and understood what needed to be done, even though it'd mean the destruction of the X parasite itself in the process. In a way it shows that they could evolve to be more than just devouring 'grey goo' mimics. Maybe. Or Quiet Robe was just the abberation among them.
Yeah... No. The X can take the memories, intelligence, and abilities of the host (it was explained in Fusion). That's what made the X so terrifying. If they didn't, what's a few planets worth of species to wipe out the X?
@@PenguinAndMoogle I think it's more like, they take the memories, but they simply don't know how to use them, since they themselves are without mind. They are just ridiculously hungry/hostile to EVERYTHING, and anything organic is under threat of absorption when they're around. The reason they're a galactic threat is that they're basically Grey Goo, only instead of being nanomachines deconstructing everything into more nanomachines, they're amoebic organics with an amped up defensive factor (the mimicry) and a natural instinct to Devour. When they absorb a sentient being, or an animal, they might absorb its natural capabilities entirely, and utilize them...but it doesn't innately understand those things. It Does because it Does. But maybe, just maybe, an X eats something that, when rebuilding its form into that shape, it assumes not just the physical structure, but the actual mental structure as well, in a kind of carbon-copy. It isn't the original... but it's strangely close enough, which separates it from the others that JUST rebuild the physical structure as a framework to use.

I wouldn't mind it coming back for future games as a sort of temporary "rage mode".
Well Metroid Dread is the proof that Nintendo is always willing to give the franchise a try, even if their sales has been always lower compared their other franchises (the best metroid games had barelly sold 2M compared to 30M of most pokemon main games for example)
@@cristiany140 Well they definitely seem to be giving it a big push with Dread and Prime 4. The Prime one remaster was a lot of work they didn't have to do.
Nintendo literally doesn't understand the character. In Japan they view her as some kind of motherly figure, while the west views her as a silent, troubled mercenary badass. I know she was created in Japan but I'll say with confidence, they've got the wrong interpretation of the character, and seeing her in Metroid Dead really validates the badass version of her.
I think What really caused her to snap was Raven Beak insisting she was his daughter. Maybe she remembered her real father (as well as the chozo that raised her) and that gave her the Will to keep going.
No, what made her snap was literally everything. This woman has gone through so much shit, worked so hard to keep Ridley and the Space pirates at bay repeatedly, then the Metroids, then the X as a result of the Metroids being culled (oops), then this prick getting the better of her and using herself as a weapon. 19 years to get a sequel to conclude the entire franchise with one game and end all the bullshit- this anime cliche was the best use of it because the catharsis was felt by every Metroid fan that's been waiting this long to finally see Samus just fucking go beast mode, and it's arguably the best moment in the franchise's history because of it.
Funny that Samus metroid tanks a ship explosion from high above like its nothing. If this was in another game, that would be an escape sequence. That just proves how powerful this new form/power is.
@@IamCanadian3333 Which isn't much of a surprise. You need ridiculously large amounts of energy to actually blow up a planet. That little fortress wasn't even remotely close. Kinda like comparing a minor firecracker to a Tsar Bomba, except the difference is way bigger.
Here is the solution to this 1. Establish a troubleshooting agency that can resolve issues and threats 2. Hire Samus as an agent 3. For her partner, hire Bayonetta 4. ????? 5. *PROFIT* 5A. Realize you may have just inadvertently doomed EVEN MORE PLANETS AND POSSIBLY THE MULTIVERSE
Samus: Destroys a whole planet with a slam of her fist Doomguy who shot a hole to the core of mars and made the demons go extinct: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary.

We could propel ourselves with our wrists, and kick the ass of anything we bumped into during transit.
5:37 I could only imagine what would have happened, if Adam didn't stop her, It's nice you got the metroid form and all but you can't survive a planetary explosion, Quiet Robe X knew where to go immediately after his "revival" but did the X parasite share the sentiment, or was Quiet Robe controlling it? So many questions with this awesome scene, Metroid Dread was done right!
It also complicates the narrative that X are unfeeling monsters solely focused on self-propagation established in Fusion. Much like how Samus thought Metroids were unthinking beasts until the Baby
@@justinokraski3796 I think when you reach the end of fusion, you realize the x aren't focused solely on self propagation as the Sa-X attacks the Omega Metroid to defend Samus, but I agree that Quiet Robe X saving Samus at the end of Dread adds to the complexity of what was previously thought to be a very simple, viral parasyte.
Something I just noticed, but whenever you kill an X with the beam in the Metroid suit the X is just straight up obliterated. Every other weapon in Samus's arsenal can only force an X back into it's blob-like state, but that final beam just straight up wipes them from existence.
Yeah Nintendo doesn't really seem to value Metroid as much as Mario or Zelda, do they? It will probably take another 20 years for this the next sequel.
@@elijahjackson3261 I think part of it is that it's easier to do zelda and mario games because the storylines across games are connected very loosely. metroid is more difficult to produce because you have to consider a not just a good story, but also think about how that story fits with the rest of the canon/lore.
I hope I live long enough... Damn, being myself a cancer patient right now (who most likely will get cured), that sentence gives me chills. There are more important things than the next mainline Metroid game, but it would suck to not make it to its release.
I can't wait to see how her new Metroid powers are used in future games. Just imagine the badass boss executions. Hell just imagine a scene of a robot rampaging, getting ready to attack and she just stabs her hand into its power source and drains it to nothing.
@@gmailisaretard unless its something else she gets stripped of everything BUT her metroid powers, since those are genetic and the next game is more about mastering them.
the fucking rage samus got to put on display in this game was something satisfying to behold. she deserved to really let loose after everything that's brought her here. I hope we get to see more of this side of her in future entries.
seeing samus just go all out like that is awesome, gotta say one of the joys of this game is the cutscenes, they really made samus into the badass space bounty hunter she always was
@@some_cartoonist I mean, we all thought they were dead when the space station hit that planet, too, yet here they were again. At this point, I fully believe they aren't completely gone yet. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they have an entirely separate colonized planetary system out there somewhere, filled with hyper-evolved X, that are only being contained because of a strain of Metroid People, like Samus has become, but who evolved naturally, that are combating the threat on their own, unknown even to space-faring species like the Luminoth or the Chozo.
Foolish Raven Beak. Samus may have overestimated herself but you made the same mistake & paid the price for it. Power is NOT everything, it's how you USE your power, THAT is when you gain the REAL power. The power to overcome even the mightiest of foes.
Metroids were created to kill X Parasites and also engineered to see Mawkins as enemies. Raven Beak was both in his final moments so Samus was fulfilling her purpose as the last Metroid.
this is still hands down my favorite scene of all metroid, just the primal rage of samus sticking her hand through raven beak head asorbing him and screaming only to reveal she gets the metroid suit was just so badass.
Samus giving Doomguy a run for his money with these levels of ANGERY. Also I'm glad that after all these years, calling Samus "Metroid" is no long entirely erroneous.
This was the first Metroid game that I've ever played and beaten, and Jesus holy fuck, that scream is one of the most satisfying moments in gaming history.
The only redemption is for Other M to not be considered canon. Thankfully, Mercurysteam absolutely achieved this imo by utterly perfecting Samus' character and how this story could be told. I have problems with Dread (entirely down to the terrible world design and dull soundtrack), but Mercurysteam did the franchise so proud with this game's story and ending, alone.
@@JacksonVoet was worth it only because Dread tied it all together & gave one of the best payoffs in gaming. But overall it was a very convoluted plot point with some really awful dialogue in the interactions between Adam/"AI Adam" & Samus.
No, y’all don’t understand. Metroid means “ultimate warrior” in Chozo. So Samus actually became the “ultimate warrior”. While yes, she actually became a biological Metroid, she also became the best hunter in the galaxy
Basically the escape scene can be done just by walking and jumping. bad guys die by you touching them and the jumping only for the parts when you have to jump.
I mean that's how most of the escape sequences go in this game it's supposed to be a spectacle the rest of the game is the challenge this is your reward
@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris sorry I didnt word it correctly most of the games in the series have an escape sequence like this that is meant for spectacle sorry for the confusion
@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris that is incorrect most of the metroid prime games have an escape sequence similar to this and there is also super metroid that does this i cannot vouch for other m as i haven't played it and the escape sequence in fusion does break the mold a bit by having a large boss during the escape sequence there is also metroid 2 samus returns (the remake) that I cant quite vouch for as again I haven't played but I have watched walkthroughs that look like it has a somewhat similar escape sequence the original one and 2 I have no idea as I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of either of them
Still one of the best endings with "Don't." Every planet-exploding Metroid game (read: most of them) has ended with Samus unapologetically hopping in the ship and skipping town. That breif 'hey wait' is incredibly touching,
I've been playing Metroid for 20 years. This is the best scene in the franchise's history. Just years and years of rage all unloaded in one primal yell as she goes apeshit on some turbo narcissistic villain. 10/10 game

I unironically love the design of the Metroid suit here. The mix of mechanical and organic components in Samus' classic suit colors looks amazing, and I like the sort of jagged edges that match up with its relation to her anger. I wouldn't mind it coming back for future games as a sort of temporary "rage mode".
I wish I could experience this masterpiece all over again with no memory of what happens.

Remember back when people thought Samus’ name was Metroid? The circle is now complete
Metroid Man VS the Chorizos
samus is underutilized by nintendo, shes a certified badass
Well Metroid Dread is the proof that Nintendo is always willing to give the franchise a try, even if their sales has been always lower compared their other franchises (the best metroid games had barelly sold 2M compared to 30M of most pokemon main games for example)
@@cristiany140 Well they definitely seem to be giving it a big push with Dread and Prime 4. The Prime one remaster was a lot of work they didn't have to do.
Nintendo literally doesn't understand the character. In Japan they view her as some kind of motherly figure, while the west views her as a silent, troubled mercenary badass. I know she was created in Japan but I'll say with confidence, they've got the wrong interpretation of the character, and seeing her in Metroid Dead really validates the badass version of her.
@@cristiany140 Dread was supposed to be released way earlier than it was though, it was on the back burner for like 16 years.
It's cause she's a woman
I love seeing Samus skull drag that dude. It is so cool to see someone her size totally overpower someone who was so hard to fight. Bravo Mercury!!!
To be fair, she had just stabbed him through the eye, and was draining his life force at insane levels. Of course he's going to drop to the floor.
I think What really caused her to snap was Raven Beak insisting she was his daughter. Maybe she remembered her real father (as well as the chozo that raised her) and that gave her the Will to keep going.
absolutely no doubt in my mind that the devs were considering that. I felt it too lol- Samus was mad as fuck about that
Power of Family
No, what made her snap was literally everything. This woman has gone through so much shit, worked so hard to keep Ridley and the Space pirates at bay repeatedly, then the Metroids, then the X as a result of the Metroids being culled (oops), then this prick getting the better of her and using herself as a weapon.
19 years to get a sequel to conclude the entire franchise with one game and end all the bullshit- this anime cliche was the best use of it because the catharsis was felt by every Metroid fan that's been waiting this long to finally see Samus just fucking go beast mode, and it's arguably the best moment in the franchise's history because of it.
Without a doubt. Raven Beak absolutely pissed her off with that remark.
Funny that Samus metroid tanks a ship explosion from high above like its nothing. If this was in another game, that would be an escape sequence.
That just proves how powerful this new form/power is.
But planetary explosion still too strong!
@@IamCanadian3333 Which isn't much of a surprise. You need ridiculously large amounts of energy to actually blow up a planet. That little fortress wasn't even remotely close. Kinda like comparing a minor firecracker to a Tsar Bomba, except the difference is way bigger.

5:37 I could only imagine what would have happened, if Adam didn't stop her, It's nice you got the metroid form and all but you can't survive a planetary explosion, Quiet Robe X knew where to go immediately after his "revival" but did the X parasite share the sentiment, or was Quiet Robe controlling it? So many questions with this awesome scene, Metroid Dread was done right!
It wasn't ADAM who stopped her, it was Quiet Robe X who stopped her.
X Parasites inherit all memories and powers of its host.
It also complicates the narrative that X are unfeeling monsters solely focused on self-propagation established in Fusion. Much like how Samus thought Metroids were unthinking beasts until the Baby
@@justinokraski3796 I think when you reach the end of fusion, you realize the x aren't focused solely on self propagation as the Sa-X attacks the Omega Metroid to defend Samus, but I agree that Quiet Robe X saving Samus at the end of Dread adds to the complexity of what was previously thought to be a very simple, viral parasyte.
@@groudonor12 Well, adam did stop her from draining the ship sooooo
Something I just noticed, but whenever you kill an X with the beam in the Metroid suit the X is just straight up obliterated.
Every other weapon in Samus's arsenal can only force an X back into it's blob-like state, but that final beam just straight up wipes them from existence.
Hyper Beam is OP
Straight up Kamehameha'd that parasite

Yeah Nintendo doesn't really seem to value Metroid as much as Mario or Zelda, do they? It will probably take another 20 years for this the next sequel.
@@elijahjackson3261 I think part of it is that it's easier to do zelda and mario games because the storylines across games are connected very loosely.
metroid is more difficult to produce because you have to consider a not just a good story, but also think about how that story fits with the rest of the canon/lore.

I can't wait to see how her new Metroid powers are used in future games. Just imagine the badass boss executions.
Hell just imagine a scene of a robot rampaging, getting ready to attack and she just stabs her hand into its power source and drains it to nothing.
It would make for a killer Prime 4, would it?
We can finally get a Megaman Metroid crossover event since both of them can gain power from defeating enemies.

@@gmailisaretard unless its something else
she gets stripped of everything BUT her metroid powers, since those are genetic
and the next game is more about mastering them.

That’s a bug. The rain is falling in the previous shot.

We've REALLY gotta think of an X-countermeasure besides Metroids or planetary destruction.🤣

Don’t think we have to anymore, now that they’re all… y’know, dead.
@@some_cartoonist
I mean, we all thought they were dead when the space station hit that planet, too, yet here they were again.
At this point, I fully believe they aren't completely gone yet.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they have an entirely separate colonized planetary system out there somewhere, filled with hyper-evolved X, that are only being contained because of a strain of Metroid People, like Samus has become, but who evolved naturally, that are combating the threat on their own, unknown even to space-faring species like the Luminoth or the Chozo.
It works, doesn't it?
@@some_cartoonist one of the ships went missing during the escape section.
They're out there.
Foolish Raven Beak. Samus may have overestimated herself but you made the same mistake & paid the price for it. Power is NOT everything, it's how you USE your power, THAT is when you gain the REAL power. The power to overcome even the mightiest of foes.
I think the baby Metroid saved Samus again
“Metroid, its finished.”
“No. I think we’re just getting started”
And then 343 continues the franchise and creates Other M 2 hahaha
I have wanted a scene where Samus just fuckin SNAPS for years man
This shit was fuckin hype
Nowadays when parents point at her and ask, “Is he Metroid?” The kids say, “kind of”
This is Samus going... even... further BEYOND
PLUS METROID!
metroid can finally crawl by activating the metroid suit when saying it's metroid thyme.
Metroids were created to kill X Parasites and also engineered to see Mawkins as enemies. Raven Beak was both in his final moments so Samus was fulfilling her purpose as the last Metroid.
Raven Beak: Power.....is everything
Samus: I'm about to end this man's fucking career
this is still hands down my favorite scene of all metroid, just the primal rage of samus sticking her hand through raven beak head asorbing him and screaming only to reveal she gets the metroid suit was just so badass.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone (pun intended).
To think that birdman still had fight in him after all that... Geeez
Beating this game on Dread Mode is still one of my greatest accomplishments.
Man this game was great, I hope Nintendo keeps making Matroid stuff because obviously they still know how to make ‘em
So now can we call her Metroid?
Of course. And more importantly, we can call her the last Metroid.
You could since Fusion.
Technically, given what Metroid means in Chozo (Ultimate Warrior), she was always Metroid from day one.
"No Dad, I don’t WANNA take a nap!"
She looks like she's been hunting Deviljhos for the last week.
I love this dang game. The story was so simple yet so intriguing and every twist was amazing.
Samus giving Doomguy a run for his money with these levels of ANGERY.
Also I'm glad that after all these years, calling Samus "Metroid" is no long entirely erroneous.
This is going to make the mosterslayer/space marine gang fan art a bit different.
GODS THAT SCREAM IS PURE WRATH!!!
This was the first Metroid game that I've ever played and beaten, and Jesus holy fuck, that scream is one of the most satisfying moments in gaming history.
As Metroid rapidly becomes Nintendo’s resident horror franchise, not even the protagonist is immune to being a horror monster
The Metroid prime games had the data logs that read like a mook horror show from the perspective of the space pirates.
Amazing game. Totally redeemed Sakamoto after the disaster that was Other M.
It's so good I can actually completely forgive Other M. In some freaky way it probably led us here.
Not at all. But I am open to trusting again
The only redemption is for Other M to not be considered canon. Thankfully, Mercurysteam absolutely achieved this imo by utterly perfecting Samus' character and how this story could be told.
I have problems with Dread (entirely down to the terrible world design and dull soundtrack), but Mercurysteam did the franchise so proud with this game's story and ending, alone.
Without Other M’s annoying horror, we wouldn’t have gotten AI Adam, so I think the terrible writing was worth it.
@@JacksonVoet was worth it only because Dread tied it all together & gave one of the best payoffs in gaming. But overall it was a very convoluted plot point with some really awful dialogue in the interactions between Adam/"AI Adam" & Samus.
1:29 Something tells me: Samus. Is. PISSED!!
I love how she graps his head and jump over him, emulating how the original metroids drain your energy
0:30
Samus: has an arm canon
Villain: Joking Samus to death
Also samuse: Hits villain with arm canon instead blasting his stupid chicken face 🤖
Calling samus metroid is a bit more justified now
No, y’all don’t understand. Metroid means “ultimate warrior” in Chozo. So Samus actually became the “ultimate warrior”. While yes, she actually became a biological Metroid, she also became the best hunter in the galaxy
I love the further metroid behavior of her going for Raven Beak's head
Man, Nintendo went hard af with Raven Beak
My only request for the next Smash Brothers is that Samus gets a redesign based on her Dread counterpart.
Really liked the super saiyan rage scream vibes. Well done
The last Metroid is our protector. The galaxy is at peace.
The part when samus says "i am the metroid" always gets me.
It's Metroidin' time!
And the she Metroided all over the place
"Local woman literally too angry to die"
I absolutely love the design choice for the Metroid Suit. It's just straight up Dark Samus with a pallet swap. Really great nod to the Prime series.
5:52 man this part always makes me sad
Basically the escape scene can be done just by walking and jumping. bad guys die by you touching them and the jumping only for the parts when you have to jump.
I mean that's how most of the escape sequences go in this game it's supposed to be a spectacle the rest of the game is the challenge this is your reward
@@bowband2.097 What you mean by "most of the excape sequence" when it is the whole excape sequence?.... That makes no sense!!!
@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris sorry I didnt word it correctly most of the games in the series have an escape sequence like this that is meant for spectacle sorry for the confusion
@@bowband2.097 But according to Google, only Dread does this.
@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris that is incorrect most of the metroid prime games have an escape sequence similar to this and there is also super metroid that does this i cannot vouch for other m as i haven't played it and the escape sequence in fusion does break the mold a bit by having a large boss during the escape sequence there is also metroid 2 samus returns (the remake) that I cant quite vouch for as again I haven't played but I have watched walkthroughs that look like it has a somewhat similar escape sequence the original one and 2 I have no idea as I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of either of them
Still one of the best endings with "Don't." Every planet-exploding Metroid game (read: most of them) has ended with Samus unapologetically hopping in the ship and skipping town. That breif 'hey wait' is incredibly touching,
I've been playing Metroid for 20 years. This is the best scene in the franchise's history. Just years and years of rage all unloaded in one primal yell as she goes apeshit on some turbo narcissistic villain. 10/10 game
2:56 CHARGE! DESTREAM NOVA!
Also 2 mins to escape an exploding planet? Totally a Samus thing
Is the planet even exploding?
O-Mega-Troid X Beam
So chronologically speaking, this is like, what, the 10th planet Samus has destroyed?
Well, it was never really explained why or how the planet blew up. The only planet Samus purposefully blew up was SR388.
@@see.eye.2361And Dark Aether.
@@see.eye.2361 The force of the massive ship hitting the largely hollow planet likely did it.
