Is there any reason to play the original Metroid 1 and 2 when remakes exist for both games?
Is there any reason to play the original Metroid 1 and 2 when remakes exist for both games?
Not really, unless you wanna play them for the sake of seeing them in their original state. They haven't aged very well.
The remakes are completely different games when it comes to gameplay. The original games may have aged too badly for zoomers though.
For the novelty of it maybe. Your not missing much by not playing Metroid 1. Metroid 2 is a lot more playable in my opinion. The linear design of the central part of the planet that leads to larger open areas work much better and it's a bit easier to tell where your going unlike Metroid 1 where too many places look the same. The metroid fights get really fucking tedious and are brainless as fuck though in the original and are just a "do you have enough missles to spam?" check.
Yes, they're better.
Metroid 1 is a completely different beast to Zero Mission.
took 4 fucking posts to get it right. nu-Yas Forums is real
Sure. Don't let ADHD brains fool you. These games are perfectly enjoyable if you cut yourself off from the internet and play them just for the adventure of it. I not long ago played the first ever Zelda, and made my own maps on paper as I went through. It was pretty great.
Sorry I was late, man.
don’t play SR, play AM2R if you must play a remake
metroid 1 is debatable but both am2r and samus returns miss what the original metroid 2 had going for it, which was the total isolation and the pretty grim task of wiping a species to extinction
am2r tries it's best to do this but some of the newer areas take you out of it and the prime-esque music fucks with the tone it's going for
samus returns on the other hand is way to gung-ho about slaughtering things in general and wreaks the ending with the remixed baby metroid theme with the tunnel crawling with enemies and the unfitting fight with ridley at the end
it does, however, have some good remixes in it like metroid caves 2 and some of the returning songs from previous games

tldr play the original and do the remakes later on when you're bored
>they're better
How?
>not easy on main difficulty
>no stealth segment with crappy boss fights
>no forced second half after final bosses
>no need to 100% the game at the end of the game
>better music
>feels like a natural evolution from Metroid to Metroid II to Super Metroid.
>the prime-esque music fucks with the tone it's going for
This almost ruined the experience for me as the OST really didn't fit the game at all
>Metroid 1 had better music than Zero mission
Lolol
>they are better because they have less content
>more content somehow means better
>it's bad because I don't like it
It literally did, you can't really make an argument about this.
It literally didn't. Metroid's 1 music is all over the place with high tones which is logical considering the limitations of the system. Now, compare this mess with the delicious soundtrack of Zero Mission which has rich basslines and actual structure.
The only track of the original that manages to be superior to its remake counterpart is the Kraid theme.
There's your argument.
You're fucking retarded, it's pretty agreed that Metroid NES has better music than ZM and ZM screwed Metriod NES's tracks up.
>You're fucking retarded, it's pretty agreed
Ironic.
You also presented no argument.
There doesn't need to be one, everyone agrees that Metroid has better music than Zero Mission.
I didn't know that your idiotic ass constituted for "everyone", user.
Since you presented no argument to my post I accept your concession.
Clearly everybody doesn't, jackass, you're talking to at least one person that doesn't agree with you right now.
It's pretty agreed that Zero Mission and AM2R are better than Metroid 1 and Metroid 2
Shut your zoomer asses, ZM was overrated in 2004 and overrated now. It was a half-assed Metroid and a half-assed Super Metroid that dumb the series down for retards like you that can't play a Metroid game while not understanding what really made the series while tagging on some stupid ass stealth segment just to take off Samus' suit for some dumb ass reason when it's better for the fanservice to a Game Over or fast completion time. Who knew this game would lead to the series going on hiatus until 20fucking17, thanks for intrducing Zero Suit fucking Samus.
See, on Zero Mission and gives a fuck about some unofficial dead fangame on the same level as SR. Metroid and Metroid II didn't remakes and I'm glad Sakamoto is finally off his remake binge.
You mad son
It's kinda ironic that you can't make an argument without calling everyone a retard (which your absolute failure at English shows to be extremely ironic) or by posting your own opinion as fact.
>while tagging on some stupid ass stealth segment
Get good at the game and you might be able to overcome this segment.
>the masses are right when they agree with me
>the masses are wrong when they disagree with me
Just you two reddit turds.
It's usually redditors that have no arguments, kinda like you. Hmmm.
Try practicing in order to pass that stealth segment, user. It really isn't that hard.
You're just throwing a tantrum at this point. Jesus Christ.
It's reddit that has a shit opinion and starts going on the defense when you criticize their favorite games.
You shouldn't had started it, don't know why you reddit guys are so on the defense of ZM, I didn't even like it in 2004.
They play differently even if they follow the same template. Also, original 2 is better than SR.
It's a very reddit thing to hate a game because you can't get past a certain segment, but I believe in you, user, if you practice a bit you can surely pass the stealth section of Zero Mission.
You are allowed to have shitty taste user, just have an argument next time instead of throwing insult and meme phrases.
Metroid 1 is ehh, but I'd say it's worth at least one completion. Metroid II is my favorite Metroid, and the remakes in no way supplant it.
youtube.com
I know just throw shades when someone calls you out on your shitty opinion, redditor.
ZM is an easy game but the stealth segment had no place in a 2D Metroid game, if it was popular it would have returned but Nintendo has already burned their bridges with ZSS so it's pretty dead in the water in future games.
Since him isn't going to make any argument you can just stop replying to him.
>making an argument is throwing shades
What a juvenile way of thinking.
Destroyed
Owned hard. There is literally and unironically no argument against this fact.
>some unofficial dead fangame
Aktschually it got its 1.5 update not two weeks ago.
>Original Metroid 2
>You can completely flush out every area of items before moving on to the next one.
>SR and AM2R
>Uhh, shit, Metroid is supposed to be about backtracking, right? Make a bunch of expansions require abilities from later areas and toss a bunch of teleporters everywhere because SR388 isn't designed well for backtracking.
They're all worth play but no version of the game stands above the others.
You guys are a little late, I already made responded to him, nice try though.
Yeah but that response is generally agreed was shit so it doesn't count.
I like Metroid II, but it's a bit strange to call it your favourite.
I don't give a shit, I don't even keep up with it, kek.
ZM has the same problem unfortunately.
Zero Mission is definitely a better game than the original, but the original is still worth playing if you're a Metroid fan just to see how the series got its start.
There's no definitive version of Metroid II so it's worth playing all of them.
Das okay that you don't care baby I just wanted to show that you were wrong vis-a-vis its deadness. Do you need your bottle?
>it-it-it doesn't count
Pathetic
>I don't know why you guys like this game when I don't like it.
It counted but not that much because it is generally agreed was shit
>zoomer calls a guy that started with the original Metroid a baby
Top kek
>doesn't dispute the fact that he's from reddit
Here it comes! Open up for the choo choo bottle!
neither did you, thereofore you are a redditor
Please don't
Your reply wasn't a counter argument so he's still right. You said that "it's pretty agreed that Metroid NES has better music than ZM and ZM screwed Metriod NES's tracks up." and he said that "It's pretty agreed that Zero Mission and AM2R are better than Metroid 1 and Metroid 2".
He's using the same logic as you so both of you are right or both of you are wrong.
You think you're the first idiot to tell me to go back to a site I've never been to in lieu of saying something coherent? I've learned to tune it out.
JESUS I JUST SAID THAT THE OST OF ZERO MISSION IS BETTER I DIDNT WANT THIS
But I'm not, I would never post in that shithole.
ocremix.org
It's pretty agree upon now you two go back reddit.
Riiight, go back
It's pretty agreed that Metroid NES has better music than ZM and ZM screwed Metriod NES's tracks up.
It's pretty agreed that Zero Mission and AM2R are better than Metroid 1 and Metroid 2.
That's what a redditor would say.
Refute this post.
>That's what a redditor would say.
Sure he would, redditors get mad at hearing go back.
>It's pretty agreed that Metroid NES has better music than ZM and ZM screwed Metriod NES's tracks up.
Changed your tune pretty fast.
You fucked up,space pirate. You ALWAYS fuck up.
I am now going to cure the cancer by posting space pirate comics
The "remakes" have almost nothing in common with the original games except for the general story.
Totally tubular
So you agree that Zero Mission and AM2R are better than Metroid 1 and Metroid 2 because it's pretty agreed that they are?

nes metroid have the best no suit samus
