Any Metroid fans on Lemmy? - lemm.ee

Basically the title, one of the things I will miss the most ok Reddit will be r/metroid and it doesn’t look like there anything similar in the Fediverse. Prove me wrong?

Still waiting for the Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remaster…

I'm going to be in the same shoes soon. I just bought a switch finally and started my play through of the remaster of the first one and they really hit it out of the park with it. I hope they follow up with the other two soon.

I'm a fan but satisfied with dread

Best way for there to be one in the fediverse is to start one!

Hell yeah! I still think about Metroid Prime every now and then. That’s an adventure that sticks with you.

… although I wouldn’t mind forgetting the fully-voice buddy characters from 3.

Hope we aren't going into another decade+ wait time for a new game!

I'm a big 2D Metroid guy! I've played them all. I recently joined r/Metroid but I wasn't in love with the gratuitous amount of Samus fanart.

I've always loved the level design of the sprawling 2D worlds. Can anyone who has played the 2D and 3D games sell me on Metroid prime?

For me, I'd just say that the atmosphere translated suuuper well into Prime (I haven't played Prime 2 or 3 yet, however). Soundtrack is excellent and is my favorite of the series so far.

The new Prime remaster has better controls, or if you emulate the GC version, there's a mod called PrimeHack that adds some quality of life features, like modern FPS controls.

Prime was pretty great at the time. The world is pretty well built, there's a ton of unlockable lore scattered around, and most of the mechanics are pretty satisfying. The map system is the same Metroid style, but in 3D it's a bit more tedious to navigate.

Not at all current... But i dusted off a retro-pi i made a few years back over the weekend, and started playing Super Metroid. This game is pretty damn old, and a masterpiece of design... I cannot get over how well they nailed the music, stylized graphics, and overall "sense of place"... It is a fine fine game.

Metroid is based! The first one I played all the way through was Metroid Prime 3, but have also played much of Prime 1 (not the remaster) and more recently played Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid II with a color mod, and Super Metroid. Super Metroid is one of the best games I've ever played, it's truly incredible, though in a way Metroid II might be my second favorite 2D Metroid I've played so far.

I was playing Metroid Prime on my Steam Deck but haven't picked up for a few months and sort of questioning if I should play the remaster or continue with my current save file on my Steam Deck. As far as 2D, I intend on playing Metroid Fusion next, and then Dread.

Definitely. I played Fusion as a kid and it's been one of my favorite series since. I'm still working on finishing the Prime Remaster, I got sidetracked by TotK. But I can't wait for Prime 4.
