Hi, pretty new to MHQ. My name is Sidiouth. I never knew about MHQ until I saw MDB plugging the marathon recently.
My first Metroid game was Prime 2, what a god tier choice I made at that random Gamestop.

My story such as it is, is that I come from a family of gamers, but I never played. The household favorite was Zelda. But I was too young to really be interested in playing it myself, I was content to watch. At some point I started playing games, but it bugged me that none of them were really mine. So I went to Gamestop, browsed the GC games and saw Prime 2. The booklet looked cool and I'd at least heard of Metroid through Melee. So I said whatever and bought it. When I got to the Boost Guardian and the game decided it was okay with crushing the hopes and dreams of 12 year old me, I went back out and bought Prime 1. I must have read that booklet 10 times on the car ride home. From then on I spent every waking moment on Wikitroid learning everything I could about the series. And the rest is history.

I disagree about wall jumping. It's not that the game sometimes decides not too, I can do wall jumps for days no problem. You just have to pay attention to how you push the buttons, right after you change directions you have to hit jump. It's subtle, but if you can master it, it works every time.

@mmgp No, wall jumping was a hidden technique you could only learn if you found the monkeys and figured it out on your own. You don't even need to know how to wall jump to beat the game.

Email notifications for mentions and upvotes would be nice.

Mmmmm, it looks soo good!
Now all we need is the Legacy Edition in the US.

I'd be excited to see one happen! If it was as good as Castlevania, then sure. I think the feeling of isolation could be captured in animation pretty well.

Plus that sweet sweet publicity for the series.

Aww man Minitroid. I still have it installed. It's tough, but it is still available online.

@fatherbrain230 Do tell about this juicy gossip. What kind of list?

Like @AmwolfMusic, I am an audiophile, but I can keep my comments easy for the laymen to understand.

Damn son that's some shade

I would say Prime 1 on the GCN just because of the Ice Pirates. They are such a pain to deal with without being able to freeze and shatter them. Prime 2 on Trilogy just because of the Spider Guardian. I beat both of them on the GCN so of course I have nostalgia for them. As far as control schemes go, I kind of prefer GCN, granted I haven't played Trilogy in forever.

I really like this style! The shoulders and helmet look really nice.

@miles07 But they removed the ability to shatter them with a missile for balance reasons.

@miles07 Fam...

I promise that this is a you issue. I have the game on emulator and 3DS, wall jumps for days.

it doesn't change the point that I try to master it and cannot. So is there something wrong with me?

The answer is yes. Computers do things one way only, if you can't master it, it's literally because you're doing it wrong. Not a problem with the game, it was a hidden technique with no explanation given of how to do it, of course some people wouldn't figure it out. I was only able to master it because I slowed down and re examined how I was doing things. Take your own advice and refine your technique.

EDIT: That is a very harsh answer, I don't mean to sound like a dick. But I couldn't master it either, then I did, so I know it's more than possible.

@metroid3d Annnnd archived. Pretty good so far, only thing I can suggest is changing the sound on spin jumping. Got old very fast. But it's any early demo, you'll work it out.

@metroid3d Also a readme with the default bindings would be appreciated.

10 DAYS YO I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!!!

Might be a little late to ask, also don't know if this violates anything, but I'm dying to have the Legacy Edition of the game. Is there some way someone could order one? DM me if you think we could work something out.
