Metroid Fusion or Zero Mission?

Idk, I haven't played them in years. I guess I'm just basing that off the fact that I, as a shitter, was able to beat it quickly as a kid, but not Zero. Probably just because I played Fusion a lot more and Zero only once or twice.

I'm emulating Zero Mission on my 3ds and I can't shinespark for some reason. Anyone know why this is?

ZM is a lot shorter than Fusion, that's why it can be beaten more quickly.

I didn't know that. I was saying I beat Fusion more quickly, but that's because I knew the layouts and goals better from repeat plays. I just remember stuff about Fusion more than ZM.

I thought both games could be beaten in 2 hours if you knew what you were doing.

Zero Mission is basically a watered down Super, even if it is still a pretty good game.
Fusion is entirely its own thing and does what it sets out to do well, so I'll go with Fusion.

Yeah I realise I misread now.

I'd say par times for casual speed runs are around 1:10/1:30 for ZM any%/100% and 1:30/2:00 for Fusion any%/100%.
2 hours is where both games give you bonus images during the endings, any way.

Zero Mission has a more fun speedrun.
But, Fusion has a great aesthetic and a bunch of cool ideas that deserve sequels

Fusion, at least it tries something new, Zero Mission is supposed to be a remake and can't even get that right.

>Watered down
I'd use the term "streamlined". It simplifies things while not sacrificing anything in exchange
