What was your first Metroid game?? I’m old, so I started on the NES 😂
Zero Mission!! Its the best to me
Had NES Metroid as a kid, but zero skills.
Fusion and Prime dropped the day before my 16th birthday and both became all time favorites.
Rented the original back in '88 and hated it with a passion lol. 6 years later, Super began to change my mind, but it wasn't until Fusion, when I fell in love with the franchise.
Super Metroid was my first
Super Metroid was my first and Prime 1 for GameCube was my second one
Fusion was my First Metroid game. I remember as a kid I thought the character you play as was the imposter, and that Samus was after you so i wasnt ever really horrified, more confused. Wasnt until I was able to READ that i realized the extent of the situation, which made me fall in love with it even more.
Lol, that's mental how you interpretation completely changed the feeling of the game.
@@Robotoda2000 it would be a cool concept, the protagonist convinced that they are who they are while being chased by the real them
Is this Jonny Arnett that does the NBA videos!?
Lol. Yes it is! Really good catch. I love Nintendo AND Basketball 😂
The real question is will it have Hard Mode Difficulty otherwise I'm out.
Hopefully Mercury Stream manages to produce a re-make of Metroid Fusion. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
SAAAAME
The more linear story structure of Fusion never bothered me. I actually think it worked perfectly for the story they wanted to tell. I also agree that Fusion is still the scariest Metroid game and I love it for that.
This might be due to the fact that while the story gives you an objective to reach, how you get there is still partially up to you & there's exploration to do on the way. New sections of the map and how to get around for one
It's pretty nice honestly!
@@emmareiman64 if you talk in general then echoes is the scariest
Hopefully this might make the Fusion suit available in Prime Remastered if someone has both games
Dang, I should have mentioned that in the video, because that crossed my mind earlier as well. That would be so cool!
Is the original Metroid playable in Prime Remastered? That was another of the Link Bonuses.
I swear if Nintendo doesn't give out a DLC or something containing the Fusion Suit for Prime Remastered by March 9th, someone has really dropped the ball.
I only find the EMMIs scarier than the SA-X because I knew how to exploit the bad AI on my first playthrough. If you don’t know that, then yeah, Fusion will freak you out.
And I was just playing it on my Analogue Pocket today too… I got jumpscared by Nightmare zooming around in that first room of Sector 5. Made me tense up lmao
So, I said I wanted the Fusion Suit in Prime Remastered and I do but I just got done playing Dread and I kind of also want the Dread Suit as DLC, Imagine the Phazon Suit turning into the Metroid Suit?
This game was so hard. Was never able to finish it. Maybe i can do it now on the switch
Hard? No offense but if this game was hard you either suck or have a hard time with trial and error. Super Metroid and even Zero Mission was harder at times than this one
@@TheKingofKings2272 Zero Mission being harder than Fusion is definitly a lie.
I've already said this on other videos. The Nintendo 64 online was not an incentive for me to buy the expansion pass.
However, the GBA online is totally making me reconsider. And it's all thanks to this game, Zelda Minish Cap, and a potential release of Zero Mission (fingers crossed everyone).
Those games are worthy of spending a little more.
My first was the prime mini game in nintendo land, which got me interested in the franchise. Then I have played through dread on switch and it is great. Also you can now play through all of the 2d metroids on switch but I hope they still add zero mission because Metroid 1 on nes is very difficult since there is no map or anything. I also hope they remaster samus returns so the best versions of all the games can be played on switch.
Fusion is cool, but I would always get stuck, not know where to go next, and put it down.
The game never shuts up about where to go though.
It is definitely very hard to get lost in Metroid Fusion, because the game is so linear. Thanks, Adam.
Between the atmosphere, the weird creatures you encounter, that feeling off Dread that you could run into the SA-X at any moment (at least on a 1st time playthrough as you don't know what to expect) and the fact that Samus is in the weakest state she has ever been. Yeah Fusion is that one game that keeps you playing with your buttcheeks clenched. Things that Dread followed on... also to anyone who plans to play Fusion for the 1st time and is planning to use headphones, beware of the boss creatures' screeches, you have been warned.
Lol. VERY TRUE. Now I wish I would have the gave the screeching warning in the video 😂
I had never really been big on Metroid, I had prime hunters for the Nintendo ds. I played dread and fell in love. I’ll be playing this throughly. At this point of time I’m still trying to get prime remastered physical copy. So I’m eagerly waiting finally play that for the first time. I just might have to play dread mode on Metroid dread to hold me over
Looking forward to another playthrough, my hands were cramping on my ds lite last I played it, so the larger controls I have on switch should be an improvement. Favorite metroid, hands down is echoes. But I can get why it isn't everyone's cup of tea, little lone casual gamers. I love the difficulty spike, morph ball's drastically increased utilization over mp1, in puzzles and bosses, ammo management, and I'm a strange outlier, who likes the key fetch questing haha (what can I say, just like exploring), MP2 was exactly what it needed to be in the trilogy, a display of the terrifying consequence of phazon to a planet over time, and hence conveyance of the stakes. And whereas the chozo were hiding the artifacts for the cipher from prying eyes but intended you to find them, it seemed natural, that the Ing, desperately trying to keep you or the luminoth from getting access to the stolen energy would put every hindrance to you getting the sky temple keys, and hence I didn't mind the fact you need a late game upgrade to even find them, you are overcoming their best efforts by becoming the strongest warrior they've faced. I love the power scaling feeling of Samus, and I don't feel like it is replicated to quite the same extent in other entries. But end of day, everybody has different characteristics they like in their metroid, and at the heart of all the mainline and primes is the core formula of metroid that we all love, hence, even my least favorite metroid is still one I routinely love to replay anyway!
Zeltroid, if you’re going to make a video to help a first timer understand what they’re getting into with Fusion, it would be better to avoid story spoilers. You were mostly good on that in this video but there was one point you played a clip where the ship computer talks about the Metroid breeding program, which was a very big plot point/plot twist in the game. Just a suggestion for the future.
True, true! I think it would be hard for a newcomer to gather everything based on that quick caption, but it's a good point, regardless. Appreciate you dropping in as always, Scuttlest!
Mine is Dread - The combat was fun! Exploring was fun to!
Fav for me is tied between Super Metroid and Metroid Dread. This tie is a result of my nostalgia and overall gameplay fun. I never had a Gameboy Advanced, so looking forward to finally getting a crack at Fusion.
so jealous you get to play it for the first time!
Fusion's my favorite 2D Metroid. The linearity didn't hinder the exploration for me at all, the BSA Station is a fantastic place to explore, even after beating the game. I remember being stuck at 99% completion, never being able to find that last thing, whatever it was. Hope to remedy that this time around.
The dialogue is heavier than other Metroid's but make no mistake, it's fantastic and really does contribute to the flow and atmosphere of the game. So, if you're thinking "Other M," don't, it's the antithesis of that.
Fusion is challenging but I found Zero Mission and Dread to be more difficult. However, Fusion is harder than Super. But like with all difficulty in the Metroid series, Fusion is not unfair. Once you learn the enemy patterns and get the feel for your power up's, it's pretty much cake after that.
The SA-X will take you on one helluva thrilling (and chilling) ride throughout the entire game. The Bots from Dread have nothing on "her." In my opinion, the SA-X is, hands down, the greatest antagonist in all of Metroid. "She," and this entire game is an absolute must-experience!
I find things just hit a lot harder in the beginning of Fusion which makes sense considering this has been the weakest Samus has ever been. The surgery to save her from the X Parasite really took a lot from her. Still by the end you're probably as strong if not stronger then you were previously so there's that. And honestly I kind of like stuff like that.
@@TheAdventGamer Agreed, the entire journey of weak to powerful is perfectly done in Fusion. Kicking the SA-X's butt is one of the most satisfying feelings I've ever had in gaming.
Tiny spoiler:
It's overlooked a lot, but the Nightmare boss in Fusion is incredibly well done. That thing is real creepy.
SAMUS RETURNS on 3ds is much better than Fusion
@@luispedroruizgarcia15That's cool, haven't had the opportunity to play it yet.
I dont know how I beat this game when I was 10 but it left me feeling really satisfied. My first Metroid game was Super Metroid but Fusion was the first one I completed
Fusion still is my favorite of the 2D Metroids, it just has an unbeatable vibe that none of the other 2D games give me.
Not even close to the greatness that is super Metroid. Sorry
@@GeorgeZimmermen absolutely my friend there are no words to describe the greatness of super Metroid it is the best video game experience ever created.
@@olivier4916 agreed. Its is the greatest game ever made imo. Always will be my GOAT
I grew up with Fusion and Prime. I'm particularly nostalgic towards Fusion and I remember it scaring my beans straight up into me, but I absolutely think the Emmis were way scarier. I was probably 8 or 9 when I played Fusion but I remember the day Dread was announced. The day before I turned 24.
This is my favorite Metroid. I get overwhelmed and frustrating by not knowing where to go, so the game being more linear is great for me. Also, the story, graphics and use of color are excellent.
SA-X makes the E.M.M.I.s crap themselves!
Fusion was the game that got me into Metroid, and the one game I've played the most times in general. I honestly didn't mind the linearity, as in hindsight, it honestly makes it one of the most accessible games in the series. To this day, I still think it has some of the most straight-forward controls in a 2D Metroid game.
Metroid fusion was the first game I played and beat. Zero mission was the second. I loved the feeling of exploring. However I remember throwing my gba when the SA-X first gets shown
If they would have brought it back as an individual purchase instead of making us pay for a subscription, then I’d play it again. Unfortunately I’m not interested in paying a continuous fee for one game.
Its like 2002 all over again. Prime and Fusion being released close to eachother. Its like these two games are a package deal. Except unlike 20 years ago, they're on the same system.
Fusion is by far my favorite, but I’m biased because it was my first Metroid game
😊🎉
I am a new "gamer girl" (aka I bought a Switch during the pandemic just to play Animal Crossing, but had explored other games since then like I 100% botw etc), and I ~tried~ playing the Fusion on Switch just to see what the fuss is all about and I absolutely adore this game. Lucky for me, I need not wait two decades for Metroid 5 😂
Well welcome to the gaming world! haha. My wife had a similar introduction to yours. I got her a Switch when we were dating, and she started with Animal Crossing and BOTW. She's waaaay too creeped out by Metroid to play that one though 😂
I don’t typically care about graphics but wow the animations look so good huh haha
Unfortunately Im old enough to remember when these were reeeeally nice for handheld 😂👴🏼
@@zeltroid haha i can imagine especially going from super Metroid one of my favorites but very stiff next to this haha ^^
I'm more than prepared thanks to beating it on steam Deck!
Super Metroid, Metroid Zero, and Fusion are my favorite titles.
I sometimes wish that fusion should be called dread
Fusion available NOW on NSO!!!!!!! Ahhhh
I never thought Fusion was particularly short. It's not a long game, but the length feels appropriate for what it is. The only time I've ever felt let down by the length of a Metroid game was Zero Mission which I beat only a few hours after picking it up.
🎉❤
Metroid Prime 2 is the best Metroid game ever
metroid fusion is still my favorite
I’m glad you appreciate Fusion’s linear nature. It was a perfect intro to the series for me when I was a kid.
My favorite game in the franchise is Super Metroid, with Metroid Dread being a close second, followed very closely by Metroid Prime; But I will always have nostalgia for the first game (and by extension, Zero Mission).
My favorite thing about the fusion suit is that it shows that the reason Samus can fit into the Varia Suit with the shoulders being so wide is that she's basically built like Kronk and 80% of her weight is above her ribcage. Her shoulders are almost 3x as wide as her hips/waist. No wonder she can walk around with the arm cannon extended all day without ever getting tired.
I Started with that *AWFUL* First Metroid on NES... Did NOT Touch any other Metroid title for Decades until 2022 when I Played SM for the first time and I LOVE IT!🙌
I never played this game as I've never been a huge handheld gamer. Honestly, I couldn't stand Metroid Dread either but I have loved every other Metroid release so far...well minus the Team Ninja entry as it was a bit too strange. My favorite game in the series is by far Super Metroid with Metroid Prime being a very close second.
I just finished Square's magnus opus Final Fantasy XVI on the PS5 and I'm looking for something a bit more grounded to play. When I saw Metroid Fusion available on the Switch I about fell out of my seat. While I may not be much of a handheld guy I would be remiss if I didn't say how badly I have wanted to play this game. I believe Metroid Dread should have followed the same art style and not gone with the 2.5D or featured Samus running away from her enemies like a helpless child. It's like a 2.5D version of Outlast and Outlast sucked.
This should only take “a few hours” to finish? I’m pushing 7 hours on my first play-though (using save states) and I’m in LOVE with this game! Metroid wasn’t a franchise I got into much growing up (I got my NES in 1986). I enjoyed the first Prime but never finished it. I’ve spent a few hours in Super Metroid too but never finished that either. This, however, has me coming back day after day! I can’t wait to see what’s next and I was actually surprised that I got so much out of a GBA game. It goes without saying, I’ll be going back and visiting the Metroid games with a new appreciation!
When I was a kid and the NES came out, it took a few years before we got one. But when we did, we got the Holy Trinity of games... Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid!!! My family was too poor so I never owned a GameBoy or Super Nintendo or GameBoy Advanced... thus I didn't get to play any other titles until I got a GameCube!!! Then when the 3DS Online store came out I was finally able to get Metroid 2 and Super Metroid!!! The gritty exploration of original Metroid coupled with the adrenaline shock brought on by the first attack by a floating jellyfish creature that rapidly sucks the life out of you will cement NES Metroid forever in my heart as #1!!!
Metroid Fusion is the 4th installment that was essentially like the only metroid game in the timeline for who knows how long until Dread, it Completely changes samus to absolute pain due to a Random floating X shaped jellybean infecting her, the docs tried to Take some of her Power Suit Pieces away, dramatically altering her look, it did not work and she was getting worse & worse until...
Someone made a Vaccine outta the Last Metroid and Quickly injected it to Samus Aran, and now her gender pronouns are She/Metroid.
usually older games being dropped is a good sign because as history shows, there's a chance there may be a remake announced today/recently or in the near future. And by near future I mean the next 3 to 20 years.
Almost makes it look like a cake walk to wait for the different parts of Final Fantasy 7 remake. By the time the 3rd or whatever last part or disc comes out, I'll need a hip replacement from jumping from excitement.
1:50 I agree that fusion is a good game that helps set up the gameplay for Metroid Dread though Samus Returns being from the same Video Company that made Metroid Dread, def is the one that helps with the gameplay mechanics in particular. However if you somehow master certain tricks/strategies in Super Metroid, Fusion, and Samus Returns in that order, being able to pull off those complex tricks becomes a lot easier as you yourself become a Metroid "veteran" having played at least 3 games including Zero Mission.
"Fusion is too short"
It kinda is but if there's a remake, I would imagine they might help upgrade the game's exploration and find a way to make it slightly longer, and I'm not talking about cutscenes.
Oh favorite Metroid game? That's a tough one, they all hold a special place in my heart (except that one). Hmm, I do love Fusion for exploring the space station, what's more isolated then a vessel drifting in the void? I'm head over heels in love with Dread, the movement the actions the ending oooh boy. And then there's Super Metroid which is so optimized I go back and 100% speedrun it every now and again.
Might give this game a try. Was just trying to play Zero Mission as a start to the series, and just walked around for an hour and a half not even knowing anything about what I was doing. I don't know where I am, why I'm there, or what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm quite literally just wandering around aimlessly, and I'm sorry but that's just not fun. Are all the Metroid games, other than Fusion, like this? The Metroid plot seems really interesting, but I can't get into it if the gameplay isn't something that I can enjoy.
Its my first and only metroid game I played ( aside dabbling a bit on metroid during gamecube or wii ).. and also redone it couple weeks ago remembering everything.... feels like the cherry on top! I even sat in the elevators a couple mins, when samus spoke to herself, immersing me with the spooky music and all thinking about back then. I recall when I was a younger, getting happy seeing samus orange armor randomly popping out the wall because ((spoiler) u have a different armor the whole game) and got used to seeing her orange power suit all the times playing smash 64. then, that cut on SA-X emotionless face walking just behind you was perfect. set the confusing and creepy atmosphere with goosebumps for the rest of this small gem
I wasn't a huge fan of fusion when I've played it previously, partly because of some poorly indicated paths for progression late in the game. (If you're stuck, there's no shame in using a guide. I would have been FAR less frustrated if I had done it) I also found some of the bosses frustrating because of how long it took to get back to them when you inevitably die. Don't get me wrong, I love a tough boss, it's why I love Dread so much, but sometimes it takes a few minutes to get from the last save room back to the boss afterwards. All that being said, I still fully intend to play the game when it comes out on NSO, I'll just be making frequent use of save states before bosses and using a guide if I ever forget where the invisible morph ball tunnel is 😂
Hmmm well I don't think fusion is harder than dread. I think fusion is much easier and not that difficult either compared to other platformers. Hollow knight is more difficult and much longer. Fusion feels great and because it's so short it feels even easier. There are only a couple of moments that have you running in fusion but dread has stacked moments of powerlessness to a fault imo. Idk I think fusion is not that hard.
I love the Metroid games but gosh I need help! Lol I love how Prime after some time just tells you where you should go. I need that.
I got lost playing dread and never finished because I could not figure out what to do next to progress.
My favorite Metroid game of all time is Metroid Prime with Dread right behind. I'm one of those few who appreciates Fusion more than Super too so Fusion is up there for me.
My first metroid was metroid ll return of samus I was kid with my gameboy and that game amazed me I thought it was the best game I'd played on the gameboy then I played fusion on the advanced and it was just a confirmation that it was my favorite nintendo game 😅
I always though Fusion was a great game. I never minded the more linear style of it, because it makes sense in the context of the story. This game is more about a specific set of objectives, yet somehow, it still *feels* fully like a Metroid game. I think Dread did an amazing job of striking the perfect balance. I know some people complained that it felt too linear as well, but I definitely don’t agree. I think while Dread definitely softly nudges the player in the direction of the intended linear path, as we’ve seen now, there are TONS of ways to sequence break and get certain items early, which makes Dread really good for replay-ability.
Hard to choose a favorite, but if I had to, I’d choose Dread. The only reason it’s not Super is because the controls feel a bit sluggish to me now. I think if we had a revamped (but not changed) Super Metroid with the fluid control style of Dread, that would be the absolute perfect game.
Who's hoping Zero Mission makes an appearance on the GBA NSO in the future?
My first game was Prime Hunters, but I love fusion so far it's a very good game. If only I had it when it was new.
Fusion has the best Metroid bosses in my opinion and is my fav 2D Metroid. My personal favorite Metroid however is Metroid prime 2 there seams to be some hate around that game but I played it over and over as a kid.
Man what a flash back! Fusion was my first Metroid game I played. It took me days to beat it. Sadly it only takes me a few hours to pass it
I like this game Probably more because of the compelling enemy. Going from the hunter to the hunted imo made the game. If it didn't have such a interesting enemy I think it could have easily been one of the worst games.
I personally don't like the movement and the jumps of this game. It's grid like and opposite of what I'm used to. This game was also held back from it's linearity but, at least then it could flesh out a concept like this.
I don't like the price Nintendo charges for their "expansion pack" to play this game.
What you need to know? I'll tell you. You can't own it this way, so go pirate and emulate it. Why would you pay to rent a game you cannot own?
When I was a kid my older brother had this game for the gamboy SP and I never really beat it but I had so much love for it. So then now I'm fighting nightmare and having so much anxiety
Playing them in order and for the first time. Finished super this week, couldnt have come at a better date for me.
You just got a sub for your name alone
Lol! I appreciate that
Jc, if the game was made before and takes place before its called a predecessor not a prequel. Prequels take place before but are made after
Fusion its my favorite Metroid game, no bcs i think its the best, but because it was the first in the saga that i played and introduced me to the Metroid franchaise, every time i test a system or a emulator that plays GBA, fuison (and sometime Zero mission) its the rom i use to test it.
This plus Prime Remastered around the same time. We Metroid fans are eating good in 2023.
If you think this is tough then you should try hard mode on the Japanese version.
.... am I the only one who hates that Nintendo doesn't offer the ability to buy the games that are on their online service?
Super Metroid and Fusion is my favorite.
Am2r is my favorite followed by super Metroid
Funny how "we don't speak of" Other M. 😂
Fusion is the best game in the series to me. No regrets
Prime is my favorite Metroid 10/10
This was my first Metroid game.
My favorite Metroid game is prime 2.
Your voice sounds familiar... Do you also do the company comparison videos?
Lol, nah. Just a common default voice I guess 😂 I do have a substantial basketball channel though, but I doubt youve seen it
My favorite is Metroid Prime ❤️
Fusion da best metroid don't @ me
my favorite game is you❤
Metroid Fusion was my most favorite but now Metroid dread takes that spot pretty quickly however Metroid Fusion soundtrack is a lot better in places than Metroid dread is in certain places. But an overall Metroid dread is my most favorite
Fusion was the first Metroid game I ever finished, though Prime was the first I played. I think the more linear design makes it an excellent starting point for people new to the series.
I would love to see Fusion remade someday. I think the GBA does hold back some of the atmosphere it was going for, and I would love to see it redone on modern hardware.
Love this game
I played it last year, owned it since I was a kid. I like it more than the 3DS Metroid. It's defiantly one of my favorites.
Mario Kort
Why are you calling the AI Adam (aka a MASSIVE spoiler)?
Litterally spoiling most of the bosses and what can make it "scary" for some. Could hardly recommend the video to new players...
Fusion is still my favourite game in the series, I absolutely suggest everybody to play this game.
That said, at 1:07 you are actually missing OtherM between Super and Fusion.
Despite it not being a numbered entry (it is basically Metroid 3.5), it is still part of the main games, as also confirmed by Dread art gallery.
sorry not the hardest nor the scariest i love fusion but before i played it years ago people made it out to have survival horror type elements with the SA-X and its far from the case, theyre just scripted sequences and they always felt that way and broke the emersion i was feeling whenever i encountered one of those sequences, it made me think oh this is really just a scripted sequence i have to run away and thats that...Dread on the other hand the emmi give that feeling of true panic and tension, sure they are assigned to specific areas but, making your way through those areas is always accompanies a feeling of "Dread"and the hopes to god they dont run you down, out manuvre you, and pin you down, and the fact that you have a chance to parry and escape just adds to the frantic panic that sets in, like "oh my god i managed to escape i better get the fuck out of here" it gave me the survival horro elements i had gone into fusion looking for and i cant commend it enough for doing so, and also almost every fight in dread is a bloody scrap
Guessing you intentionally left Metroid: Other M out of the lineup of mainline Metroid entries even though it pretty much is one.
The NDS one. I Was like 12, enjoyed it alot and also Visited the nearby Museum Just to order Water and Play online multiplayer xD
It's an extremely linear and story heavy game, so not really a metroid
Metroid prime is my favorite
The linear nature is to drive it and give the game proper structure. It also make SA-X absolutely bone chilling because the storyline has driven you to the point where the reveal is jaw dropping. Personally love this title at the time I write this currently playing "Dread" and remembering how scary it was as a kid reminds me why I'm in love with dread tight corridor side scroll horror with Samus dipping around being badass in the process. Chefs kiss🤌
