Super Metroid is already the greatest game ever, so I really appreciated Fusion doing something so different. I think it's a great sequel to Super Metroid. They complement each other.
The soundtrack of this video had me dancing through the whole history of nintendo

good vid but you should really cite your sources. there are some details in here that very obviously could've only come from a specific place and they should be given their fair due
You are absolutely right. I really need to do that. This originally started as a project during the pandemic to work on my editing and production skills. But I really need to do that. Going forward I will do that, but I am also going to go back and add citations to previous videos where I can. Even though those were made...man almost four years ago now...Time flies.
Fantastic video! Subscribed. Excited to watch more of your content. I loved the history lesson. Much of it was new info to me, even though I was in my 20’s during the era.
Despite Sakamoto not being involved in its production, Metroid 2: The Return of Samus takes a similar approach to Fusion, in that it locks off certain areas until the current objective is met. Designing for handheld was something of a solved problem for the series that Fusion modified in some good and some not so good ways. I would have liked to see this brought up in the video, and if you have links to the interviews I'd like to see if The Return of Samus is brought up in them. Small nitpick, but great video otherwise. Thanks man.
Metroid 4 was fun, Super was better. Maybe they should have done a 2d Metroid on the N64 first and called that 4 and have Fusion as a standalone GBA experience
Sakamoto was primarily in charge of making Game Boy Games at that time. His team did make Sin and Punishment, but the home console games were Miyamoto's realm. Sakamoto did consider making a Metroid for the N64 but he did not know how to translate the gameplay from Super Metroid to the 3D realm with the N64 controller. They baffled him.
@@SuperMetaFun haha ok I saw your whole Video and while my oppinion about about Fusion did Not change I admit that you Made some Inteesting Points though xD

Gunpei Yokoi managed the development of the Game Boy. But Okada lead the project and was the one that wanted interchangeable cartridges like the NES. Yokoi hated the NES. Hated it. He wanted the Game Boy to be single game systems like Game & Watch. Okada and Yokoi would get in heated arguments about it before Yokoi finally gave in. So yeah Okada was responsible for the reason the Game Boy was the Game Boy.
Well, by the date of its release, Super Metroid was the best game ever produced. It is still, possibly, the best 2D game. So it is really hard to improve from it, specially when it created things which are really hard to reproduce: that feeling of loneliness, the eerie atmosphere, the friendly fauna that teaches you secret moves, the replayability those moves add, the speedrunning design/objective, or the cinematic ending. You experience many of those only once, and this experience is not replaceable.
You do realize that Dread was conceptualized for the DS and only didn't hit production because the hardware couldn't handle the game? If anything, it was behind the scenes stubbornness that lead to the lack of further 2D games. It would have happened either way. Not Fusion's fault at all.

you need more subs based on production value alone.
Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment!
That was a fun watch man! Keep it up!

What are the not so good ways
Great game, fun video. Thanks for making it!
Haven't watched the video yet, but just wanna say that thumbnail is 🔥🔥🔥
Why do So many people pronounce wreak as wreck?
I love so many things about fusion, but it being so linear, no single walljump, and no bombjump is sacrilege and goes against metroids design
Just found a new amazing channel
You butchered those Japanese names like my great grandad did in the pacific
I applaud you for the equal parts brilliance and offensiveness of this roast.
I don’t think you butchered the names that bad, but still a hilarious comment nonetheless lol

>This video gets into how the corporate structure of Nintendo effected the creation of Metroid Fusion.
affected
Metroid fusion 👍
good content
NES Metroid = Stinker
Super Metroid= Superb
Metroid fusion= Subpar
I want to disagree but I just don’t think I can.

I liked fusion more than most I guess
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Gba Games !
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Which is your favorite GBA game?

Old school metroid fans are funny to me lol "IT TELLS ME WHERE TO GO BOO HOO THIS GAME SUCKS"
Does anyone really care about mispronouncing the name? Do you really think someone from their estate is going to come after them?
Who was responsible for the game boy? Bruh...

@SuperMetaFun I dunno. You're not totally wrong, but Gunpei was the dude. I mean G&W was a game changer. Also Iwata R.I.P. to both
Fusion is fails to evolve the franchise thanks to it's linearity.
eh, it had more oomph for individual puzzles, upped the horror, and still made a user friendly for newcomers.
@@francoperalta5986 You do realize that Fusion is a direct follow-up to Super, right?

@@mjorge0alves That's correct. That was essentially the whole point all along.
Did this really have to become a history video before actually doing a retrospective? Wasted time.
why the hell not ya debbie downer, go be miserable else where.. adding a deep-dive/some context to a retrospective is very welcome
Yes. Yes it did.
Agreed 100 percent. Not needed. Needs to get to the point if he wants viewership.
This lineal piece of shit game killed the franchise for almost 20 years.
This game was a mistake.
They made five more Metroid games and a pinball spinoff. You’re thinking of Other M that killed the franchise for about 10 years or so.
