I'm already getting ready, playing through zero mission, super metroid, and fusion. It's all making me realize why I fell in love with the series in the first place
@@TLcool4 well. I've seen some recent metroid fusion recaps on local game reporting channels and some of the comments man. "Are there no games left or why do you report this crap" broke my heart. Not in agony about feeling personally attacked, but nin sadness about the young generation kind of proving that humans beat evolution and since practically every dna strand has the possibility to breed, not only the best ones. (When I started this sentence, I didn't think it would turn out to be a punchline against about half a generation. I'm sorry future generation, but also not sorry. Just please, prove me wrong.)
As I recall, they have been explained as being an aggressor species with their own fully developed civilization who are expanding into the Galactic Federation's territory. The Federation doesnt know what they call their species, so they have been unofficially officially dubbed Space Pirates due to their penchant for raids and ambushes as opposed to fully-committed interstellar war. Given how they act it seems likely that they wouldn't openly engage the Federation in full scale war until/unless they were certain of overwhelming victory, they are sneaky like that.
The creep factor and suspense in Fusion needs to be more prevalent in the series in my humble opinion. It would be kinda like dead space but less on-the-nose.
well, if this title bomb. we can say good by to Samus for good this time. she will be reduce to a smash character without games. like captain Falcon and fox Mc cloud....
Depending on how well RetroStudios has been doing, I expect we see something from it next E3. We were probably gonna see lots of it this year had development not needed to restart (why they didn’t just get retro in the first place baffles me)
Slight Spoiler for Metroid Fusion: The computer that guides her around isn't just named for Adam. It actually is him, or rather his mind uploaded into the computer.

Yes, and Samus reveals that all the super computers in the federation is the personalities of ex scientists and military officers.
@@SatiZakito wasn't the computer more of a dick? Samus states that "the real Adam would soften the blow" after she found out about the secret metroid lab and the computer scolds her for doing so.
I prefer Zero Mission to Super Metroid because of the story elements like the mural of the Chozo Guardian in a Varia Suit and the detail of kiddo Samus's crude drawing of herself with Old Bird and Grey Voice in one corner - the little touches that underscore that this was once her home. That direct connection to her history with the planet puts ZM over the top for me.
So, an astronaut is trying to make a cup of coffee, and he can't find the milk. So he turns to his partner "I can't find any milk for my coffee". The other astronaut says "in space, no one can. Here, use cream."
This was a pretty concise summation of the Metroid timeline, nice job. Metroid's timeline is pretty straight forward so it isn't difficult to know what games occur in what order. I don't know what the whole "Year 20X5" thing is about though. Also, thank you for referencing Samus' cool looking cape at 1:56. For those curious, this is from the awesome manga called "Samus & Joey."
so in algerbra, X means unknown, which is also the case, means the same thing. It means 2005, 2015, 2025, 2035, 2045,2055, 2065, 2075, 2085, 2095 or 2095 could all be the year. there is also the 'X' in Undertale, a game, which I think has incredible music.
Metroid Prime will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the game I bought together with my GameCube, the first console and game I bought with my hard-earned money from my first job. It was quite a big step for me, like "hey, I can be a responsible adult AND keep playing videogames!"
That was me with Skyward Sword. But Prime is the only Metroid I've ever played. And I got it when it released and played it again this week. So it's awesome to hear your experience with it.
Fusions my favorite. I like seeing how our messing with the ecosystem, could spell universal doom. I also like how the X isn’t acting out of any malicious intent. It’s just doing what it was born to do with no predators.
I think its a fair assumption, that based on the backstory of the Metroid universe, the F-Zero series also takes place in the same unified galactic government. I even remember back in the late 90s, there were many fans who thought Samus and C.Falcon were siblings, apparently backed up by some piece of media (comic?), but I have never actually seen said source, official or not, so it was probably just a fan theory, but I would personally buy that connection.
@@lylatfox4 F-Zero and Star Fox do not take place in the same universe, but parallel Universes. James McCloud being "dead and an anthropomorphic Fox in Star Fox yet is alive and human in F-Zero is proof of that. There's also G-Zero Grand Prix, the Star Fox Universe equivalent of F-Zero Grand Prix.
@@mike-ns6sw Kirby takes place in a parallel universe accessed by dreaming. For example: Planet Pop Star exists in the FS-176 system, right next to Zebes, in the World of Trophies but not in Dream Land nor the Metroid Universe. The World of Trophies may exist within Sub-Space within the Candy Constellation in Dream Land controlled by Master Hand although SSBU revealed the existence of multiple Master Hands and Crazy Hands with no ties to the World of Trophies.
@bacon froyo I hope it is as well. If they don't however I would like a new 2d metroid continuing the story after fusion. In any case I am hyped for how the monsters will look in hd
It can do a time skip, sylux is has been spying on SAMUS through Metroid, II and super Metroid, then it can do a “5 years later” And show the events of SAMUS blowing up the BSL and SR388 following fusion, Then the story can continue from there. Feds want SAMUS dead maybe and sylux is who is sent to take her down.
I can't wait for Metroid Prime 4. It's the whole reason why I bought a Switch. I loved the freedom Metroid and Super Metroid give to the player, those two are my favs.
Just so you know super metroid is on the SNES online for Nintendo switch online (there's also one for nes games, save cloud backups and I think a few other things)
Metroid Fusion was, and always will be, my absolute favorite Metroid game of the series. The various environments, music, and even the genuinely terrifying atmosphere (for a kid at the time) give me nostalgic daydreams to this day.
For somebody who’s very unknown on the Metroid Lore... this is very simply and easily explained and interesting to look into. Thanks for the video, it’s great to finally learn about the Lore of this iconic Universe and Game Series, especially about everyone’s favourite Badass Intergalactic Female Bounty Hunter, Samus Aran. Also, I’m always excited for the next Timeline Video, since you guys explain these hugely detailed universes, into easy to navigate Lore Videos. That’s something not easy to do and I’m happy you guys take the time to achieve that feat.
I recommend checking out Gamespot's Metroid retrospective videos as well. Though they came out around 2010, they cover every game individually (prior to the release of Prime 3) and also cover the timeline. A neat collection of videos imo.
I just realize that Mando with baby Yoda is just Samus with baby Metroid. going around doing bounty hunting stuff together. So does this mean that Mando's true identity is really Samus's long lost brother Solomon, who actually survived the space pirate attacks? bringing two of the greatest outer space series together at last as cannon????
@@zetazimmer4769 Samus' character was also inspired by Aliens' protagonist, but Samus got blond just not to be exactly a copy so we can have this conversation
Metroid Fusion has always been my favorite. I always thought the platforming in Super Metroid was less precise along with a clunky HUD and a dash button. In Metroid Fusion, all you need to do is hold R for your weapons and you already run fast enough so I never feel that I am missing a dash button.
Fusion and Zero's mission Samus is way to slow, one of the only thing that I like better about Super's controls is the run button. Am2r solved this problem by making the morph ball faster and having a faster shinespark start and finish animation so that it's actually worth using it.
Metroid has always been a series very close to my heart solely because of Super and the first Prime, and I've always felt that it deserved more love than it has ever got.
Just played through Super Metroid and came here! I'd say overall I liked Metroid Zero Mission more, but I loved the final boss in Super Metroid! Both great games. And I hope they'll remaster the Metroid Prime series for Switch! :)
i literally spent the whole of today thinking about how id explain the timeline to one of my friends and then i come home and this video is in my recommended
The first ever Metroid game I've played was Metroid Fusion. That masterpiece game introduced me to this amazing Series. Fusion gave me really Sci-fi Horror/Thriller vibes and still it holds a special place in my heart.
In the first age, in the first battle--when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Norfair, her soul blistered by the fires of the Dragon, and tainted beyond ascension. She chose the path of perpetetual torment. In her ravenous hatred she found no peace, and with boiling blood she scoured astral plains--seeking vengeance against the Great Dragon who wronged her. She wore the crown of the Chozo. And those who tasted the bite of her blaster, named her, “Samus.”
4:31 try AM2R because when you freeze anything. even a flying creature they fall to the ground and shatter. the Metroid don’t shatter but still fall to the ground. its a cool effect and good attention to detail
I think it's a kid who gathers characters and plays with them in a room. The theory or story goes something like that... Got this from game theorist. Or I could be wrong and it might be real..
I imagine the 'Smash' games are a planet the characters all travel to to hone their skills, gladiator style, but no one can actually die on the planet or something...Idk. That's why I liked Brawl so much, it actually gave story to the game.
Metroid Fusion was how I was introduced to the series, so I have soft spot for it. However, Metroid Zero Mission is absolutely fantastic. The movement and combat mechanics are crisp and it's jaw-dropping how many alternate routes and shortcuts were built into the map. LOADS of replayability. Ended up unlocking all 8 endings for it.
Still waiting for Metroid 5... Since Samus has metroid dna in her body, the main antagonist could be the federation trying to capture her to produce more metroids for their evil schemes.
IIRC They pretty much made Fusion to be an ending to the series, so yeah. The ending of Fusion heavily implies that Samus isn't going to be a bounty hunter anymore.
@@Sluppie Storywise, I can see that. The Space Pirates are dead, the Metroids are dead, the X Parasites are dead. But since Samus essentially thwarted the Galactic Federation's plans, she'd be labeled a traitor and hunted down herself. So while she could still conceivably be a bounty hunter, she'd be no longer supported by the Federation. Though I'd really love to see a continuation of what happens after Fusion, and how Samus' story ultimately comes to an end.
1: FINALLY someone who pronounces Samus Aran's last name correctly 2: FINALLY someone who explains Metroid's timeline in a way that makes sense 3: FINALLY someone who manages to fit Metroid Pinball as an official game
I like the moment when The Federation recovered Ridley's corpse from The Bottleship and transported it to BSL, so they can clone him. Again. Great plan, right?
@@SureenInk No the traitor was James iirc. MB killed him in a cutscene when he tried to assassinate her. She summoned a bunch of monsters to kill him. The game never explains any of this, you have to pay close attention to the cutscenes
@@existentialskeleton3837 Ahh, well, it still does end up telling you in some way. Still, if it's not explicitly stated, then I could see how people missed it. I knew I remembered the traitor being revealed, though.
So your telling me that metroid fusión is the last game in the series story wise WHAAAATTT and here I was thinking it was like the front runner that lead to everything else.
What i want to know is if she ever truly gets cured from the metroid infusion. Great video. Grew up playing OG metroid and have enjoyed it since. Super metroid being my favorite
Finally. Marcus taking it easy with significant facts and proper pacing. Not like in Metal Gear time-line. Good job. I don't even play Metroid but I understood the story telling. Thanks Marcus and LB
THE OG METROID was the greatest gaming experience of my childhood. I can ALWAYS tell when someone didn’t find that game first. I had never played a spooky dark game like that. Before METROID there was nothing like METROID. Before “super” Metroid, there was, ah, METROID!!!
That's good and all, but now the game kinda sucks. Awful controls, small world, few powerups, lazy design of vertical rooms(despite playing zero mission before, I had trouble knowing where I was), and I could keep going...
Hey really great video I absolutely love the metroid series and can't wait for Metroid Prime 4. However You missed some really important parts like when Samus infiltrated a space ship and saved an electric rat from being used as their generator. And how the electric rat helped defeat Ridley. Otherwise really good job!!!
Hmmm pretty sure Metroid Prime was one of the Metroids the pirates had with them, which absorbed way too much phazon. Anyways, great video, it was pretty funny and a great summary. Good job!

Super métroid so much better!! More liberty and better atmosphere
That's metroid prime for me.
Let's talk about how the *pirates* have their own extensive R&D department, and continue to make new breakthroughs in various fields of science.
The pirates arent concerned with morality, so that kind of helps them learn about things others never dared to test.

Zero mission comes at a very close second to my all time fav, SUPER METROID

"So many great titles, it's really impossible to pick which adventure is the best **cough** Super Metroid"
Agreed 1000%

Easily the best Metroid timeline breakdown I’ve seen. Super helpful refresher now that Dread has been announced!

It could also be 4 the Roman numeral 10 for tens or 10
And now at E3 2021 metroid dread has entered the timeline

Good timing! I just beat Metroid Fusion two days ago! I personally have Fusion as my favorite Metroid game. (I love the horror in that game!)
Glad to see this! Metroid love has been dwindling for a long time, hopefully Prime 4 will fix that.
Yes, I enjoyed Metroid: Other M so much that I actually beaten it 4 times. It was when I first got my 720p HDTV with the Wii component cables.
Other M is one of my favorites too
Anyone else here getting caught up for metroid Dread? 👀
Metroid has always been a series very close to my heart solely because of Super and the first Prime, and I've always felt that it deserved more love than it has ever got.
And now almost 2 decades later, We get the follow-up of Fusion.
Apart from the cutscenes Other M was pretty good imo. Kinda wish they’d let you play with a joystick but the dodging mechanic was awesome

She wore the crown of the Chozo. And those who tasted the bite of her blaster, named her, “Samus.”
4:31 try AM2R because when you freeze anything. even a flying creature they fall to the ground and shatter. the Metroid don’t shatter but still fall to the ground. its a cool effect and good attention to detail
When in the timeline does she fight Mario, Peach, and all the other Nintendo characters?
I think it's a kid who gathers characters and plays with them in a room. The theory or story goes something like that... Got this from game theorist. Or I could be wrong and it might be real..
@@leon.brocki yeah and the trophy characters too
I imagine the 'Smash' games are a planet the characters all travel to to hone their skills, gladiator style, but no one can actually die on the planet or something...Idk. That's why I liked Brawl so much, it actually gave story to the game.
@@rrrush Close: they're just various toy versions of the characters. And the kid has a name... Wanna take a guess?
@@kohlrak hmmm..honestly I would get this wrong, but the creator of the smash bros universe?
(Edit)
Idk the name 🥲
Metroid Fusion was how I was introduced to the series, so I have soft spot for it.
However, Metroid Zero Mission is absolutely fantastic. The movement and combat mechanics are crisp and it's jaw-dropping how many alternate routes and shortcuts were built into the map. LOADS of replayability. Ended up unlocking all 8 endings for it.
I am quite sure they didn't think that a game made in 2002(Fusion) was gonna be the last in the chronological order.
Metroid Dread
Still waiting for Metroid 5... Since Samus has metroid dna in her body, the main antagonist could be the federation trying to capture her to produce more metroids for their evil schemes.
IIRC They pretty much made Fusion to be an ending to the series, so yeah. The ending of Fusion heavily implies that Samus isn't going to be a bounty hunter anymore.
@@Sluppie Storywise, I can see that. The Space Pirates are dead, the Metroids are dead, the X Parasites are dead. But since Samus essentially thwarted the Galactic Federation's plans, she'd be labeled a traitor and hunted down herself. So while she could still conceivably be a bounty hunter, she'd be no longer supported by the Federation. Though I'd really love to see a continuation of what happens after Fusion, and how Samus' story ultimately comes to an end.
This was actually so well put together, great video!
1: FINALLY someone who pronounces Samus Aran's last name correctly
2: FINALLY someone who explains Metroid's timeline in a way that makes sense
3: FINALLY someone who manages to fit Metroid Pinball as an official game
Eckitronix number 3 is the most important one of course
I like the moment when The Federation recovered Ridley's corpse from The Bottleship and transported it to BSL, so they can clone him. Again. Great plan, right?
Samus + Doomguy = the great unknown
Master Chief
X Samus is one of the fewer video game characters that scared the hell of me.
The key to good Metroidvania design is to remember that Super Metroid exists, is perfect and you'll have to settle for making something else. :p
I prefer Fusion and Zero Mission. R1 as missile is so much better than Select. And yeah, Metroidvanias are awesome, my favorite games!
The key to good metroidvania design is to look at hollow knight
@@JoakimOtamaa Yeah that's more convenient but Super is still a better game overall
The key to good Metroidvania design is to remember Zelda II Adventure of Link was the huge inspiration to Iga, not Metroid.
But then the game that was made sotn is VERY similar to super Metroid.
this script and delivery was so much fun.
Arel Christian Tanio hey thanks I appreciate you!
16:55 Clearly there's a traitor afoot! Now, if only the game remembered that and bothered to resolve that part of the plot...
MB killed him
Didn't it? I swear I remember them revealing that Adam was the "traitor" himself.
@@SureenInk No the traitor was James iirc. MB killed him in a cutscene when he tried to assassinate her. She summoned a bunch of monsters to kill him.
The game never explains any of this, you have to pay close attention to the cutscenes
@@existentialskeleton3837 Ahh, well, it still does end up telling you in some way. Still, if it's not explicitly stated, then I could see how people missed it. I knew I remembered the traitor being revealed, though.
@@SureenInk I think it's a really neat bit of visual story telling but it's kind of irrelevant to the plot as a whole imo
Prime 3 is my favourite Metroid so far.
So your telling me that metroid fusión is the last game in the series story wise WHAAAATTT and here I was thinking it was like the front runner that lead to everything else.
I mean it's called metroid 4 in the intro screen
@@clickycal you're right what the heck. I do remember seeing it but never payed that much attention
Silly fool, Metroids are predators to x
My favourite game is metroid prime 2 I love the light-dark aspect of the game as well dark samus's first appearance being so memorable to me
Echoes is the Super of the Prime games.
*Change my mind.*
You good friend are a man/women of good taste
What i want to know is if she ever truly gets cured from the metroid infusion.
Great video. Grew up playing OG metroid and have enjoyed it since. Super metroid being my favorite
I hope Metroid prime 4 is as good
OG Metroid on NES is my fave. First game I ever beat. I remember I used to play it super late and the music CREEPED me out! Ah, the late 80's... :)
Fantastic timeline. And yes. Super Metroid is the best. Don't even gotta argue that one.
Finally. Marcus taking it easy with significant facts and proper pacing. Not like in Metal Gear time-line. Good job. I don't even play Metroid but I understood the story telling. Thanks Marcus and LB
Come on people, Zero Mission is the best, at least when it comes to 2D Metroids!
THE OG METROID was the greatest gaming experience of my childhood. I can ALWAYS tell when someone didn’t find that game first. I had never played a spooky dark game like that. Before METROID there was nothing like METROID. Before “super” Metroid, there was, ah, METROID!!!
That's good and all, but now the game kinda sucks. Awful controls, small world, few powerups, lazy design of vertical rooms(despite playing zero mission before, I had trouble knowing where I was), and I could keep going...
Metroid Prime 3 and Metroid Fusion on my favorites also I'm really hoping Metroid Prime 4 takes place after Metroid Fusion it only makes sense for too
Prime 4 will most likely take place before Metroid 2
Literally just beat Metroid Fusion yesterday, loved it!
Need to review this to play Metroid Dread
This video is about to get a surge in views
Hey really great video I absolutely love the metroid series and can't wait for Metroid Prime 4. However You missed some really important parts like when Samus infiltrated a space ship and saved an electric rat from being used as their generator. And how the electric rat helped defeat Ridley. Otherwise really good job!!!
Brawl reference?
So I have to say this because you said it SO many times:
Aran is pronounced like the name Aaron
Citation: Metroid: Other M
Thank you for your time
Hmmm pretty sure Metroid Prime was one of the Metroids the pirates had with them, which absorbed way too much phazon. Anyways, great video, it was pretty funny and a great summary. Good job!
Cool thanks for the awesome video of Metroid timeline of the video game 😎👍.
Wow... So this whole time It was Metroid Prime then MP: Hunters.... I always thought it was Mp3 then Hunters..
Now I know
Prime 2 is my favourite game of all time. It deserves better!
Samus is just Female version of DOOMguy.
Change my mind
19 years.
19 years since Metroid 4 and we are still waiting.
I thought we agreed Other M never happened.
Bret M. It’s still canon, whether you like it or not, so deal with it. You can dislike it all you want, but that doesn’t change facts.
it's sadly canon.
@@CompositeCreativity Username very inaccurate.
@@b.a.m.5078 And YOU are someone who thinks they get any ability to determine that for anybody, let alone me? Please.
@@CompositeCreativity I get to determine whatever I want, about whomever I want. Good day to you.
This video is about to blow up after Metroid 5 Dread was announced at E3 2021. LoL
Who's here after Metroid Dread was announced?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I loved Fusion the most, but Super Metroid, Zero Mission and the Prime series are all some of my most beloved video games.
