This is by far one of the best games of the year. An old-school Metroid game with modern sensibilities, amazing! My personal list so far this year is It Takes Two, Kena, Metroid: Dread, and Ratcher and Clank: Rift Apart
ey GLP odd Q. ik but i wanna ask wat would it take for meh too umm how do chu say ahh relive chu of MD and the switch chu played it on 😄???? LOLZ im just asking cuz i have yet too play dread becuz im NOT paying 299$ & up for the fucking switch 😒
I also noticed when he said "you must annihilate it" about X on 57:12 he sounded angered (perhaps thats not the right word) Also, what's so special about ADAM calling Samus by her name? I do vaguely remember he is sort of an AI reconstruction of Samus' passed friend from Federation Forces and that as AI he only calls her Lady. Was it ever suggested that ADAM is not just an AI but his actual brain/mind?
@@vladimirchizhov3260 well after it was confirmed Adams memories and personality was preserved in an A.I it only make sense for him to call her lady but I do agree that he also has called samus bu her name in the past even when he was alive, if everyone played Metroid other M. So it’s not to shocking but I do admit there were hints something was up at times when he spoke to her.
Raven Beak was a great enemy to introduce for the Metroid series. He's a brilliant strategist, an excellent warrior, he's something new than a Space Pirate / clone, has Darth Vader vibes, and came up with the brilliant scheme to make an army of cloned Samus Arans. It's too bad they killed him so quickly, I would've liked a trilogy of games that explored Raven Beak v. Samus.
Something tells me this most likely won’t be the last we see of his tribe… after all I doubt all the Chozo warriors in the Maruka tribe stayed on that world… but who knows really
@@NintendoSegaandHasbroFan Could come back as the last Parasite X and become the new "Dark Samus" for the Mercury Steam games. In all honesty, I wouldn't mind Raven Beak X being Samus' new rival.
@@highiqkong7419 that honestly would be sick… can you imagine if Metroid prime 4 was based on that and we fought him in full fledge 3-D that would be sick. I mean I know this game was in 2-D with 3-D cutscenes but fighting him in the perspective of samus would still be sick
@@NintendoSegaandHasbroFan Prime 4 is probably gonna be it's own thing, and Mercury Steam won't be anywhere near the project unfortunately. However, after the clear success of Metroid Dread I'm certain Nintendo is gonna commission Mercury Steam to work on another Metroid title for the Switch Pro / Switch 2. I think it's time for Metroid to try its hand at full 3D again. With Mercury Steam behind the wheel, I'm confident they'll make excellent; and hopefully we can fight Raven Beak again but in proper 3D.

49:44 This is my favourite one. This is when I truly felt the titular dread, seeing the Xs escape while Samus observes in terror and they emit those cheerful sounds, chills. And then to see Quite Robes being infected, alongside the planet ecosystem, it really sends a shiver down my spine.
I don't know if it was intentional but that's a cute little throwback to the old days where many thought Samus' name was "Metroid" And now that everyone knows her as Samus. 'Metroid' finally works as her name lol
Yeah, they've long known. What people still need to realise is that she is a human, and capable of emotion, and is as emotionally flawed as any human. And considering how touchy an topic Zebes, Ridley, and Adam were to her? I actually found her freak out in that game entirely understandable; I mean, she literally killed Ridley off permanently. Every Ridley after that was a clone. That's why she didn't freak out in Fusion, because he was already dead.
I think they designed it more like that due to her figure plus it seems the suit is mostly biological components, gaining more armor plating as the suit powers up instead of just changing colors and seemingly gaining additional armor plating
@@orochinagis No its not the armour is a power suit made for combat and is hevely impilled to be at least partly biological. So it makes sense why it would be more form fitting and we know its not just for her as the Chozo warriors armour is form fitting as well
I never got a chance to play the other 2D Metroid games, but something felt off throughout the game about ADAM from near the beginning; particularly when it said lines like, “You are faced with overwhelming power. Accept your helplessness,” and “You were no match for [Raven Beak] then; you are no match for [Raven Beak] now. […] You would not be a worthy adversary for him. Not even at full power.” Both of those lines felt very un-AI-like, but very indicative of a pompous, arrogant and well-spoken chozo. And when Samus’s Metroid power manifests “ADAM” suddenly changes its tune to say that Samus can now confront Raven Beak, concluding with, “The time has come, Samus, fulfill your destiny.” And apparently ADAM always referred to Samus as Lady and not by name, so ADAM never referring to as Lady was a red flag. Barring all of the voice modulation and the technical jargon ADAM honestly sounded just a bit too “human” or sapient throughout the whole game, and I’m guessing the idea was that Raven Beak was impersonating ADAM throughout the whole game, right?
The only time we hear the real ADAM is the first two times he speaks. First when Samus is in her ship, the other when she exits the ship. As soon as the AI starts calling her Samus it’s Raven Beak talking.
Seriously, why did you NOT include the battle phase cutscenes when fighting Reven Beak; those were legitimately the BEST! Bruh turned into Sephiroth and ripped off his wings!
I know right? Though, probably like me, they died multiple times on that boss fight and didn't wanna sit through the cutscenes multiple times and forgot to add them back
The X survive at all costs. The planet was literally exploding and this was one of the only functioning ships. To survive and propagate, X had to get onboard that ship, and make sure it launched safely. There is no guarantee that the Chozo was the only X aboard that ship, especially since X can duplicate mechanical components as well.
No, the SA-X looked exactly like Samus in her Varia Suit, but with blank white eyes. You must be thinking about its transformation near the end of Metroid Fusion, after you've done enough damage in the boss battle.
A little detail I love is how at 23:20, note how easily Samus picks up the tail. I think we’re safe in assuming that that tail would be pretty heavy. It shows not only Samus’ strength herself, but how much strength her suit has as well- it had to have helped her life the tail that easily This makes me think- Do you all reckon that Samus can jump as high as she does because she’s athletic af and part chozo, or because the suit makes it so she can jump how she does? Do you guys think her suit would be as durable/strong as an Ironman suit or Masterchief’s suit?
Her suit is biomechanical, so it's literally a part of her. Oh and it's waaay better than an Ironman suit or a halo Spartan's armor, considering all of its bullshit powers and super toughness/strength combined with regeneration.

What happend at the end? Absorbing the X of the Chozo with the ability to control Metroids reset / cancelled her Metroid-Suit? Or her whole DNA thing? Or given her the ability to suppress it? I need answers Nintendo ;w; They could easily build on the energy absorbing power by building it into the counters or finishing moves like in other M for future games. Enemies don't drop energy anymore you HAVE to use your Metroid abilities to recharge. Perfect setup for unique gameplay mechanics. The series is called Metroid afterall. Her human appearance is apparently still unchanged (Im not into bodyhorror so that is good tbh) but her Power-Suit that has her DNA turning Metroid is so freaking cool. The overkill beam would have to go of course. You can explain it that she was just able to use it after absorbing all the power from the flying station. But I don't want to lose the Metroid DNA / power absorption / sick looking suits stuff in the future!
Not gonna lie. Even tho I love everything that happened in this game? It still feels like fanfic if, as you say, THEY DONT EXPLAIN WHY all this stuff happened. I need answers too.
The Thoha can control Metroids. When she absorbed the X, she absorbed his DNA, and stabilized the Metroid powers that had become unstable due to over use. It didn’t reverse it, it gave her control back.
I like Ashkar's badass boasts through Adam. "This guy sounds a little too badass, Samus. You'll never be as cool as him." But what I love is how he can back up his claims. He really does have the power. He has so much power that he cannot be beaten by vanilla Samus, he can survive getting Metroid Sap'd by her, and it's implied that he can control his X form like Quiet Robe did. It took a mutant Hyper Beam to kill him for good.
I think metroid could make a great anime. I hope they never do a live action Zelda game.. and Mario is getting a film soon too. But a metroid-anime would be great
I kinda hoping they give Samus one of those chozo staff/spear things in the next game after reading the zero mission prequel manga I found out it's another popular weapon used by the chozo aside from their arm cannons
the cutscenes with the train and the ball going into the clouds...the wind and visuals kind of remind me of the warframe mission loading screen with the lander...god i should go play warframe
The only thing I think is bad about the video is you skipped Raven Beak's transformation, could see it come up with the skip button. Other than that thanks for all the cutscene videos for us that cannot currently play some of these amazing games!
Next Metroid game needs to go back to being on a planet without all this high tech equipment going crazy on her. I love this game and I would call it the best so far but super Metroid was just so ahead of it’s time but I like exploring caverns and caves and different areas that are on planets not space stations or artificially made environments. If they remade super Metroid like this I think it would be incredible. Can’t wait for the next game I just hope I’m still around for it to enjoy it with how many years gap it was between fusion and dread but this game was a huge hit so I doubt they will take the same time gap this was. Let’s hope.
I can find videos of almost every Metroid game where its all the cutscenes, similar to this, EXCEPT for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. I think thats very criminal as the game has amazing cutscenes.
it technically is 3d, thats why. the environments all seem 3d, that is why with the boss fights where they go into in-engine cutscenes and angles, it's so fluid because all they do is pivot the camera. absolutely beautiful.
Can someone explain why the X possessed Quiet Robe help Samus in the end ? Should it is in its best interest to destroy Metroid which is it natural enemy ?
I think there was still a part of quiet robe left in him when the x took over. So the x just brought him back to life in a way? Idk thats my personal headcannon but it still doesnt make sense cuz the x ahould have complete control
I wonder if the X are more misunderstood than we think. They are said to absorb the host's entire personality, so what if the host was benevolent, the resulting composite will be benevolent too? The majority of X clones we have seen (like Neo-Ridley) have been aggressive beings to begin with.
True however when the x took over samus and made the SA-X. It was still aggressive and attempted to attack samus and destroy the space station despite samus originally not having those traits
Forgive the pun but... Holy... I actually felt Dread when Samus went Metroid on Raven Beak. and I know that X is a parasite bio-weapon, but why did it use itself to help Samus at the end? It doesn't make sense...
My take-away is that either that particular X inherited Quiet Robe's memories (which is established that the X can do), or Quite Robe (being from the only Chozo tribe known to be able to control Metroids and fight the X Parasites, the Thoha) has some kind of back-up plan in case of him ever getting infected. If it's the former, it could make sense for the X-Parasite to try to remove/weaken any and all Metroid(/Metroid abilities) in power at any time (which also happened in Fusion; when several SA-X ignored Samus, to deal with a Metroid threat); so even if healing Samus was the result, maybe getting rid of the Metroid presence was more vital for it's species' survival, from it's standpoint. It's also unclear exactly what it did to Samus; but presumable it added more Thoha (Chozo) DNA, from Quiet Robe, in order to outbalance the Metroid DNA within her.
@@SwedenTheHedgehog personally, my theory is that in some way the X saw its survival in Samus, literally. If we remember, at the end of Fusion, Samus absorbed a defeated SA-X core and regained her Ice Beam function: a function that is technically incompatible with her Metroid DNA, and a beam that is completely absent in this game, presumably for the same reason. It could be that a strong enough X parasite can sorta counteract the Metroid DNA, especially one that has taken Thoha DNA. After all, it's not too terribly uncommon in nature for a prey to have killed its predator. In this instance, not only does Samus have Chozo DNA and Metroid DNA within her, she now has a potent X-parasite that is somehow keeping the Metroid DNA in check. At that point, the planet was blowing up, the X had 2 options, die with Samus, or take a risk by assimilating with Samus
@@PsiChaos2701 I don't think X parasite is not that smart , they driven by theirs instinct to infect more , i think the X using Thora ability to suppress Metroid , so it is still fit with theirs desire to destroy Metroid , except not in the way they truly want to .
@@kampfer91 I mean, the X were smart enough to attempt freezing the entire planet in a bid to stop Samus. That act kinda highlights that the X are quite capable of creating intelligent plans when they have intelligent enough hosts. After all, it was likely the best plan to stop Samus, given repeated defeats in direct combat. On top of that, Quiet Robe was probably one of the most intelligent beings the X could have possibly took over. If Quiet Robe-X (QR-X) solely wanted to purge the Metroids, why not just let Samus perish in the planet's destruction along with all the X? We know previously the X were willing to even sacrifice themselves if it meant killing a Metroid. Why then, would QR-X enable Samus, who is technically a Metroid, to leave the planet and live? I think, with Quiet Robe's unique intelligence, QR-X may have been able to do achieve something no other X managed: Sentience. But alas, we may not get an official answer for god knows how long. That said, the primary focus of my theory is more to explain the seeming ability of a uniquely powerful X somehow suppressing Samus' Metroid DNA, an event we see happening twice now. One when the SA-X core granted Ice Beam to Samus, something that was utterly incompatible with her Metroid DNA, and now with QR-X undoing Samus' Metroid transformation Clearly, there's more to the X that we the players aren't exactly privy to, since we really only experience the world through Samus.
Could've cut some time by shaving some of the boss fights, and you could've shown the clip of what the upgrades were and the first time you use them. Other that that, banging video.
Pretty good game but I thought the ending was kind of abrupt ( I know it's a classic Planet gets blown up but the Escape at the last second but if you got a little on the abrupt side as we what happens next)
Yes. This is "Metroid 5". Fusion was Metroid 4, which you can see it be called in the opening cutscene gor that game, same with Super Metroid being called Metroid 3 in its opening cutscene.
Judging from how SA-X allowed itself to be absorbed to help destroy the omega metroid, back in Metroid Fusion, it seems that the X parasites prioritize killing metroids over the survival of individual members of their own kind. That X parasite seemed to have some way of eliminating the metroid power in Samus, so it sacrificed itself to "get rid of the metroid". The fact that Samus survived the process was probably not a concern for it.
I like the core plot of the story, but I really don't like how they went about presenting it. It felt like someone took a Tolkien thicc book, and condensed it to a childrens book that was read out loud to us.
They completely missed out on a great story for the next game. They should have left Samus in Metroid form and she'd have to spend the next game trying to reclaim her "humanity." She's literally a Human/Chozo/Metroid/X hybrid now.
sorry to be honest ,but they should let metroid saga die after metroid prime 3. honestly i saw all the movie and the game seems shitty and more a product than a beloved game from a long saga. since iwata passed ,nintendo dont know how to make real games anymore and its another company who make "products" without any soul. May metroid rest in peace....

But that energy she was shooting WAS from the flying station (and Raven Beak) since she was basically a Metroid (sucking energy) at that point.
its probably left as is until someone decides to start writing the next game
idk though
The Thoha can control Metroids. When she absorbed the X, she absorbed his DNA, and stabilized the Metroid powers that had become unstable due to over use. It didn’t reverse it, it gave her control back.
Neat. They gave Samus roughly the same voice as when she grunts from heavy damage in the Metroid Prime series.
The part where she just starts charging the beam while she’s looking at that one monster is so cold to me
I like Ashkar's badass boasts through Adam. "This guy sounds a little too badass, Samus. You'll never be as cool as him." But what I love is how he can back up his claims. He really does have the power. He has so much power that he cannot be beaten by vanilla Samus, he can survive getting Metroid Sap'd by her, and it's implied that he can control his X form like Quiet Robe did. It took a mutant Hyper Beam to kill him for good.
That was fast. Thanks for the upload!
before the first encounter i wondered, wouldn't it be interesting if samus actually encountered a chozo. ten minutes in, SURPRISE!!!
video title: "all cutscenes"
video: skips raven break cutscenes
The Samus we expected to see in Other M.
Me: gets in an E.M.M.I room
My heart: it's Time to STOP
Am super excited about it and are you going to put more metroid prime games please thank you
I hope to all heavens that this changes the status quo going forward. Samus as a full Metroid is something we need to see in the future.
The only thing they fear is you.... and for good reason.
Rip and Tear my brotha lol
1:15:45 Of course!!!!! It wouldn't be a Metroid game without one damn it!!!
--- Me (getting to the stage for the first time. )
Prime hunters exists
Dehaka would be proud. Samus became primal zerg.
I think metroid could make a great anime.
I hope they never do a live action Zelda game.. and Mario is getting a film soon too.
But a metroid-anime would be great
I would love something Metroid on the screen TV.
Now while that would be cool, I think a Smash Bros. anime in a similar vein to Subspace Emissary would be radder.
I kinda hoping they give Samus one of those chozo staff/spear things in the next game after reading the zero mission prequel manga I found out it's another popular weapon used by the chozo aside from their arm cannons
She was extra no nonsense in this one 😂
36:21 the torvus underwater theme
the cutscenes with the train and the ball going into the clouds...the wind and visuals kind of remind me of the warframe mission loading screen with the lander...god i should go play warframe
The only thing I think is bad about the video is you skipped Raven Beak's transformation, could see it come up with the skip button. Other than that thanks for all the cutscene videos for us that cannot currently play some of these amazing games!
You make the best game movies. Thanks for this.
Next Metroid game needs to go back to being on a planet without all this high tech equipment going crazy on her. I love this game and I would call it the best so far but super Metroid was just so ahead of it’s time but I like exploring caverns and caves and different areas that are on planets not space stations or artificially made environments. If they remade super Metroid like this I think it would be incredible. Can’t wait for the next game I just hope I’m still around for it to enjoy it with how many years gap it was between fusion and dread but this game was a huge hit so I doubt they will take the same time gap this was. Let’s hope.
samus is basicaly mega man and doomguy combined
I can find videos of almost every Metroid game where its all the cutscenes, similar to this, EXCEPT for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. I think thats very criminal as the game has amazing cutscenes.
Never let Samus to Earth.... she always destroying planets....she is more dangerous than bearus
Awesome 🤩
So you feel the need to show us the same boss animation 8 times but edit out the phase transitions??
seriously. video is twice as long as it needed to be. game is like 7 hours long total
Okay so what is samus now? Human with chozo DNA, metroid DNA, and X DNA?
Two different chozo DNA I think
I don't think X DNA, since her Metroid DNA consumes it. Not sure tbh.
Damn its looks 2d and 3D at same time mind fuck
it technically is 3d, thats why. the environments all seem 3d, that is why with the boss fights where they go into in-engine cutscenes and angles, it's so fluid because all they do is pivot the camera. absolutely beautiful.
This and hitman 3 are my picks for game of the year
you should work for ign
@@xaby996 why so?
HOLY SHIT HAS A FEELING OF MASTER CHIEF, BADASS
God samus is so fuckin cool
Can someone explain why the X possessed Quiet Robe help Samus in the end ? Should it is in its best interest to destroy Metroid which is it natural enemy ?
I think there was still a part of quiet robe left in him when the x took over. So the x just brought him back to life in a way? Idk thats my personal headcannon but it still doesnt make sense cuz the x ahould have complete control
I wonder if the X are more misunderstood than we think. They are said to absorb the host's entire personality, so what if the host was benevolent, the resulting composite will be benevolent too? The majority of X clones we have seen (like Neo-Ridley) have been aggressive beings to begin with.
True however when the x took over samus and made the SA-X. It was still aggressive and attempted to attack samus and destroy the space station despite samus originally not having those traits
Or quiet robe took back control after being possessed cuz of some weird chozo magic plot armor
@@shyfry7734 At the end it did sacrifice itself to give samus her final power ups back to defeat the omega(?) Metroid though.
Forgive the pun but... Holy...
I actually felt Dread when Samus went Metroid on Raven Beak.
and I know that X is a parasite bio-weapon, but why did it use itself to help Samus at the end? It doesn't make sense...
My take-away is that either that particular X inherited Quiet Robe's memories (which is established that the X can do), or Quite Robe (being from the only Chozo tribe known to be able to control Metroids and fight the X Parasites, the Thoha) has some kind of back-up plan in case of him ever getting infected.
If it's the former, it could make sense for the X-Parasite to try to remove/weaken any and all Metroid(/Metroid abilities) in power at any time (which also happened in Fusion; when several SA-X ignored Samus, to deal with a Metroid threat); so even if healing Samus was the result, maybe getting rid of the Metroid presence was more vital for it's species' survival, from it's standpoint.
It's also unclear exactly what it did to Samus; but presumable it added more Thoha (Chozo) DNA, from Quiet Robe, in order to outbalance the Metroid DNA within her.
@@SwedenTheHedgehog personally, my theory is that in some way the X saw its survival in Samus, literally. If we remember, at the end of Fusion, Samus absorbed a defeated SA-X core and regained her Ice Beam function: a function that is technically incompatible with her Metroid DNA, and a beam that is completely absent in this game, presumably for the same reason. It could be that a strong enough X parasite can sorta counteract the Metroid DNA, especially one that has taken Thoha DNA. After all, it's not too terribly uncommon in nature for a prey to have killed its predator. In this instance, not only does Samus have Chozo DNA and Metroid DNA within her, she now has a potent X-parasite that is somehow keeping the Metroid DNA in check. At that point, the planet was blowing up, the X had 2 options, die with Samus, or take a risk by assimilating with Samus
@@PsiChaos2701 I don't think X parasite is not that smart , they driven by theirs instinct to infect more , i think the X using Thora ability to suppress Metroid , so it is still fit with theirs desire to destroy Metroid , except not in the way they truly want to .
@@kampfer91 I mean, the X were smart enough to attempt freezing the entire planet in a bid to stop Samus. That act kinda highlights that the X are quite capable of creating intelligent plans when they have intelligent enough hosts. After all, it was likely the best plan to stop Samus, given repeated defeats in direct combat. On top of that, Quiet Robe was probably one of the most intelligent beings the X could have possibly took over. If Quiet Robe-X (QR-X) solely wanted to purge the Metroids, why not just let Samus perish in the planet's destruction along with all the X? We know previously the X were willing to even sacrifice themselves if it meant killing a Metroid. Why then, would QR-X enable Samus, who is technically a Metroid, to leave the planet and live? I think, with Quiet Robe's unique intelligence, QR-X may have been able to do achieve something no other X managed: Sentience. But alas, we may not get an official answer for god knows how long.
That said, the primary focus of my theory is more to explain the seeming ability of a uniquely powerful X somehow suppressing Samus' Metroid DNA, an event we see happening twice now. One when the SA-X core granted Ice Beam to Samus, something that was utterly incompatible with her Metroid DNA, and now with QR-X undoing Samus' Metroid transformation
Clearly, there's more to the X that we the players aren't exactly privy to, since we really only experience the world through Samus.
I don't remember the X being bio weapons. I thought they were a natural creatures on SR-388.
Sorry but there are bits missing from this “movie”, a full version with all cutscenes can be found here: th-cam.com/video/JlYlvr93GDU/w-d-xo.html
i think the x sacrificed it slf to eliminate the metroid in samus in an attempt to like invade her ship or smt
this twist was really stupid, "Luke, I am your father"
It's not the point of this scene
She’s always had Chozo DNA donors.
What an absolute game!
Why the FUCK does this game have the best graphics on switch?!?!
Feel like a remake but it is not. I guess they did a great job imitating the feel of previous Metroid games
It made since on why their armor looked like samus.
So raven beam is samus's father?
@@manbanasiak I think it's a way of saying he's the one she was given mawkin DNA from, a long time ago. He's not her actual father
@@francoisapril4085 does this mean samus is lab grown, im not really that fond of metroid lore yet
@@SammyCCrewX if I understand correctly, she was born nornally and was later put in a machine that infused her with Chozo DNA
She infused with Chozo DNA to survive on the planet the Chozo took her to/grant her increased physical abilities.
Could've cut some time by shaving some of the boss fights, and you could've shown the clip of what the upgrades were and the first time you use them. Other that that, banging video.
i need backup
Pretty good game but I thought the ending was kind of abrupt ( I know it's a classic Planet gets blown up but the Escape at the last second but if you got a little on the abrupt side as we what happens next)
Awesome game. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Quick
Hell ravages many places
Wait this takes place after metroid fusion
Yes. This is "Metroid 5". Fusion was Metroid 4, which you can see it be called in the opening cutscene gor that game, same with Super Metroid being called Metroid 3 in its opening cutscene.
Thanks
@Toyo Ba how does this evan relate to my comment
@@memeguy2488 it's spam, either a bot or someone desperate for attention.
@@evankurasu3190 ok
49:56 lol sometimes if you love something you have to set it free.
The ending made no sense. Why would the x help her?
That’s a story for another day if possible
Same as where the X helped her in fusion. A form of self preservation by being absorbed.
Judging from how SA-X allowed itself to be absorbed to help destroy the omega metroid, back in Metroid Fusion, it seems that the X parasites prioritize killing metroids over the survival of individual members of their own kind. That X parasite seemed to have some way of eliminating the metroid power in Samus, so it sacrificed itself to "get rid of the metroid". The fact that Samus survived the process was probably not a concern for it.
@@da8874 the sax only helped because it knew the metroid would kill them both
@@magnatcleo2043 it made a friendly squeal when it changed form though
Maaaaan you skipped the cutscene where ravenbeak grows wings and then rips off his own wings! Why?? I thought it was “all cutscenes”? :(
Can y’all telling me the name of the ending of the video song?
th-cam.com/video/G2OhfdEDZ3k/w-d-xo.html
well this is a nice upgrade from the original
Thank you for your wok but i think you guys cut too much?
Cool game!
I like the core plot of the story, but I really don't like how they went about presenting it. It felt like someone took a Tolkien thicc book, and condensed it to a childrens book that was read out loud to us.
Samus looking finna good
I hope the Galactic Federation bans EMMIs after this.
what about the credits maaan
5:25
31:47 I didn’t know K. ROOL was in this game!
They completely missed out on a great story for the next game. They should have left Samus in Metroid form and she'd have to spend the next game trying to reclaim her "humanity." She's literally a Human/Chozo/Metroid/X hybrid now.
interesting
33:43 wtf its a mutalisk
So Metroid fusion reborn
Why is she silent? Nintendo doesn’t like speakable protagonists huh?
Who's she gonna talk to? Adam is one way and she does talk to Quiet Robe. She's just quiet.
Learn to troll better
Whoa
I really hope this game is good cause sents the fail of metroid other m I thought metroid is dead
I don’t understand what is going on
Who ever is playing this sucks..lol.. but thanks for uploading
El men que estaba jugando esto estaba bien manco
Очень соево
sorry to be honest ,but they should let metroid saga die after metroid prime 3. honestly i saw all the movie and the game seems shitty and more a product than a beloved game from a long saga.
since iwata passed ,nintendo dont know how to make real games anymore and its another company who make "products" without any soul. May metroid rest in peace....
I don't see how this falls under fair use copyright
