    I've always noticed that the scariest part about these games is the loneliness. It just makes me so depressed sometimes that I just quit playing. Corruption was the nicest game since you could visit the Federation, talk to the other hunters, and get advice from the Aurora Unit anytime you wanted too. It was more comforting.

    Amazing!!! Seriously this is the best video I've seen about video games by far, and believe me when I say that I saw tons of them! Very complete and informative (didn't even know about the Metroid manga)! And even better, you're pretty as an angel! Keep up the excellent work and be sure I'll take the time watch your other videos! ^^

    I just played Super for the first time about a month ago, and it blew me away. Sooooo much better (and harder) than many modern games! The atmosphere's incredible, the gameplay is intuitive, there's no lengthy exposition to be found, and the themes of exploration given the spotlight. Probably the best game I've ever played!

    These retrospectives have more work put in than just a quick Wikipedia search! I love the drawings, they are such a nice touch, can't wait for Part 2! :)

  • @Retromancers
    @Retromancers 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice background; very informative. Metroid for the NES was one my favorite games of all time back in the day. I also appreciated Alis from Phantasy Star as one of the first major video game heroines along with Samus.

  • @JustJakeSD
    @JustJakeSD 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    i believe you may have got one fact wrong idk but its worth mentioning, i believe that the metroids and the mother brain were made by the chozo. the metroids were made to combat the x parasite and the mother brain was made to control the metroids

    So true about Super Metroid, when I was a kid I rented it and liked it but stopped playing in favour of other games. I thought Link to the Past was my favourite game on the SNES all these years, but it stands a close second to Super Metroid. I still can't believe I put this game down as a kid. Soooooooooo goooood.

    @nightrider85 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to admit the first time I watched a friend of mine beat super metroid like ten times back to back I still could not get enough. How in the hell would super metroid have to compete with donkey kong? it just shows how the world wasnt ready for that type of game. There are so many elements from metroid that you see in games today, and the speed running upgrade was brilliant it gave the game another atmosphere. I was fortunate to cop my nintendo gamecube & I believe the second game I bought was "Metroid Prime" one of the best games I have ever played.

  • @donn4life
    @donn4life 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks a lot for this! I feel like you really went deep enough to make the story understandable while also keeping the storyline clear, complete with the relation to the 3D games which were developed later while the stories were in between the 2D's (and that for a kind of newby like me).
    I appreciate your storytelling pace (not too fast) and the time you took to include gameplay and also storytelling with the whiteboard.
    I got interested in this history when seeing footage of the Metroid-game-to-come Metroid: Samus Returns. I'm kind of a newby to this universe and your video really gave me a good idea of what it is, in the games as well as in the 'real' world. So thank you for that! :) Wikipedia didn't do it for me, especially because I didn't get where they got the Space Pirates idea from for the story of the first Metroid game. It didn't seem to me to be mentioned in the game itself. You cleared it up with the manga and the 3D's in between the 2D's storywise.
    So thank you again. I'm off to watch Part 2 now, haha! :)

    @321pokemonplayer 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a spectacular video. Metroid has grown to be my favorite nintendo series (Nintendo being my main company). I have played through all of the games and have enjoyed everyone of them even other m. Metroid is a series that definitely needs more attention from Nintendo and has so much story potential. Again awesome video series. Like this video and comment if you agree.

    @GrasshopperKelly 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I must say. You've come up with the best retrospectives of the entire Internet. I've searched everywhere even simple wiki style and your is best by far. Can you do one on insomniac? Or is a company a bad idea? I'm not saying you game retrospectives are bad. I'm saying they're the best and are brilliant. But it would be amazing to do game world companies. Or even naughty dog. As you have the data half done on other retrospectives. Etc
