CGRundertow - METROID II: THE RETURN OF SAMUS for Game Boy Video Game Review

[shozma]

I'm hating on Game boy!!

[retrogamer816]

your voice is fuckin annoying review the damn game stop with the fuckin history lesson of the game i wana now gameplay facts this review is ASS



[mariofan6489]

that sounds a lot like Luigi's Mansion, because you have to destroy a certain number of some creature in order to progress.

[IblisLucario64]

prime hunters is canon

[TylursVideo]

Amazing Review

[MarioFanSiteBVChanne]

I played this for five minutes on a emulator. I'm not a Metroid fan, but I loved this so much more than the original. It was great!

[kiaelinkx]

this game, i still have the original japanese manual, which i think is worth a lot of money. when i was a kid i couldn't understand it, i reached the final queen metroid and couldn't kill her. i felt so frustrated that i traded tihs game for... mortal kombat 2 -.-

And it scared me to the bones! ... i think im gonna download it for the virtual 3ds console rite now <3

[neobogard]

one of derek's best reviews,and one wich i agree with him %100.metroid 2 retrurn of samus is better then the first metroid and the remake zero mission imo.

[UltimateGameNerd]

Fuck all Gameboy haters

[TheNboy121]

Have this game on my new 3ds and its fun

[SamusDrake]

A huge improvement over the first game, but with the map feature absent its still frustrating navigating around SR388...

[TelePaulCaster]

How did I miss this review 2 months ago?

[RawHunterX]

I wonder why the guys from CGR don't record the GameBoy games in color, I know I had the GameBoy player and even on the GameBoy Color/Advance when I inserted my GameBoy games, they had colors, I could choose at the beginning of the game which colors should I use by Pressing Right/Left on the D Pad but I surely remember Samus' Varia suit as being Red and Yellow in Metroid II !

[dudesk099]

Oh I LOVED playing this game at my friend's house... Even if I never played any of the rest of the series for years.

[GamerNinjaX]

I remember the first metroid I ever "played" (it was at a store) was METROID ZERO MISSION for the gameboy. and that game was hard.

[ContraCommando]

I beat this game. Very challenging because you really can't tell where you are at. Great game for sure.

[fukyougooglification]

what a sweet review, cheers

[mywalterppk]

I totally agree. This game needs more respect!

[devilmaycryagency]

@GamingWombat

but at least samus looks like samus and the game definitely has the metroid feel

[5757Gamer]

metroid was so hard when i was a kid now you can pass the game in 7 or 5 hour's

[Voliko1]

Amazing game

[xxdarklink93xx]

@GamingWombat that has nothing to do with what he was saying, he means the feel of suepr mario land is different, obviously the sprite is different one's nes and the other's gb

[thedavidmango]

pow!

[useless1997]

Is your Wii broken, Derek?

[smashbrosfan25]

i would say the upcoming 3ds titles are a big to do

[hasegawamiki]

This game is crying to be remade!!

[GamerNinjaX]

@hasegawamiki yah on the 3DS with 2d 3d graphics.

[psychoclown420]

NOSTALGIA!! i loved that game, but i just wished it had a map, because navigation can get VERY confusing especially when you beat it in a weekend binge, you forget what you did 2 hours ago, and you ascend into earlier areas and say "WHERE THE F*** AM I??"

[vgbjason]

"It's hard to breathe" because passages are narrow? You're in a containment suit.

[jirojairo90]

Derek, don't listen to the haters...I think you're awesome.

In fact, I agree with what you said in "that review"...and in this one too =)

[MrLolKins]

Am i the only one that had a slight laugh every time he mentioned the word "Dread"

Thumbs up if you did the same

[WakeAsGun]

First Metroid game I ever played and I hadn't even heard of the first one. Several years later when I had forgotten about Metroid II I played Super Metroid via emulator and thought "this game reminds me of a Gameboy game I used to have".

[rcshaggy]

Hoping that this game is coming on the 3DS eshop Channel.

[redmario7]

@rcshaggy And now it's available on the 3DS Virtual Console.

[rcshaggy]

@redmario7 So what day? 

[redmario7]

@rcshaggy It was released on Nov. 24 (U.S. on Thanksgiving Day and Europe) last weekend for the 3DS Virtual Console.

You could download it now if you want, but it's up to you.

[pippo17173]

sequel for a game boy.

[dreftsnoop]

@GamingWombat is a half-wit.

[waffleman20000]

God I want this game on the eshop.

[Metrooiid]

I want this for the eshop on 3DS!

[TheUltraDude]

Stop the trolling, dudes.

As for a relevant comment, I really hated this game for its lack of direction, but thinking back, I'm remembering some decent moments in it, too.

[WebVMan]

I saw a bunch of copies brand new for $9.99 years ago. I regretted not buying it, spent $8 on a cart only cart years later, noticed someone beat the game, checked it out and it seemed like a cool game. But then I started from scratch and couldn't get anywhere in the game just like Metroid 1. Metroid GBA is the best. Without healing stations and save stations, I cannot beat a classic style Metroid game.

[thenintendogamer]

@WebVMan No way, Super Metroid and Prime is the best.

[Kuceman]

Guys shut the fuck up! Let the guy review.

[uber0demon0tongue]

@GamingWombat and? It feels the same, plays the same and moved forward.

[Jeremy5028]

i want this game

[orionpax55]

@GamingWombat (sarcastic whine) Oh, but that's so you can see things better on the smaller screen!

[NightSprinter]

Ironically, Derek's playing it on a TV as shown by the GB Player frame. *smirk*

[hetrogamr84]

What is it with your yell-talk voice? Are you selling this for Nintendo? It's hard to tell what you really think of this vidgame.

[deviant3232]

Hunters isn't canon? I could have sworn it takes place between Prime 2 and 3, and that's why Sylux's ship appears in MP3 (allegedly anyway)

[vennom59]

need this on the eshop 3DS asap!

[BrooklynBros]

So many butthurt nintendo fanboys are crying since his marioland review. Can't you girls just respect his opinion? I mean his points were valid, and to dislike other videos and hate him because of his own opinion is stupid, stop embarrassing yourselves and nintendo's fanbase. I'm a big nintendo fan but I'm not gonna hate because someone had a different opinion, just respect it, even if you think they're wrong and you're right.

[SEGAnostalgic]

@Brooklyni could'nt have said any better myslef i didnt likethe SML ethier but Derek still is a cool guy. if everyone had the same opinons this would be a pretty bland world.

[jgkillsproductionz]

@BrooklynBros tits

[thebaggedavenger]

You guys need to give Derek a break and let the SML review be. You watch these videos for a review of the game and basically HIS opinion on said game. When he says something different then you, you bitch. SML isn't the best mario game, not nearly, and it's not the worst. But, he gave his opinions on it and you watched it. Just quite the bitching and enjoy this review of a stellar game. Grow up.

[WebVMan]

@thebaggedavenger Uh first of all, he spent the entire video complaining about it. Second of all, CGR never gives us actual reviwews. Just this game is cool or not and buy it or not. No real discussions or comparison to other games or ratings of any kind. So I shouldn't heard nothing but complaining unless I heard "This game earns a 1"

[Kramer7969]

This game is in the aftermath of the Metroid Prime series? That's really forward thinking of them to make a game that the story was after a game they wouldn't make for another 11 years. Did George Lucas have anything to do with these games?

[rogums]

@Kramer7969 The prequel isn't Georgle Lucas' concept you faggot

[Kramer7969]

@rogums My comment was a joke in the sense that George Lucas claimed that the 'prequel' were written out from the beginning. This review claims that this story was after the games that came after it. Maybe when you get a brain you'll understand the joke.

[rogums]

@Kramer7969 Its funny cause Star wars had prequels and so does this. hahaha damn, heres one for you, you know how mario has a sequel and so does kill bill? Did tarantino have something to do with those games. hahahah, im so funny man.

[Kramer7969]

@rogums You don't even get it. This review seems to imply that they made the game knowing it was before the aftermath of the game from 11 years later. Sheesh. I'm not saying that a prequel is anything odd and you may or may not understand, but if you don't why do you have to flame me?

[rogums]

@Kramer7969 I just dont think it implies that at all, can you find me the quote. I might be wrong I guess.

[Kramer7969]

@rogums Maybe I inferred wrong... but @ 2:02 it says 'picks up in the immediate aftermath of the metroid prime trilogy' that is what it means to me... as a JOKE. See, it's funny, huh? :)

[laurentlepinois]

Metroid II is my favorite game of all time YEP of all time !

[NWpowerhouse85]

@GamingWombat That's because Derek has a fully homo man-crush on the chubby plumber, whereas Samus is a girl, so he doesn't care.

[Luigi84289]

@GamingWombat Yes and the game play was radically changed. This is a very linear game with a few slight branching paths but completely lacks the feeling of exploration the original had. It gets boring after awhile because there is no big feature to pull you in. You're just going around shooting a handful of metroids now and then. When you get to the ship at the end it gets fun again but for the most part you'll have to force yourself on some level to keep going through all the identical layouts.

[angryguy306]

@GamingWombat But it still looks and plays like a metroid game.

[FastTquick]

I really wanted a remake of this to come to the DS during its heyday. As incredible as the original Metroid 2 Return of Samus is, it hasn't exactly aged well for this generation.

[biobobz]

@FastTquick I want this title to be revived under the 3D classics. This way, all of the errors of this under appreciated can be fixed, and it wouldn't be too hard since they started making a DX version of this game that was never released.

[papercanfly]

I own all the Metroid games in the series... best series ever!

[fsmetal]

This game rocks. I played the crap out of it as a kid

[Remino52]

@GamingWombat Arguably, Samus does look more detailed in M2 than Mario does in SML.

[xpluralx]

This is the ONLY gameboy game that I still own.

[MetalYoshi64]

derek is a homo

[maddmaxstar]

Nearly 40 Metroids? There's more than that, but not a surprising statement from someone going in thr wrong direction for most of the video. Still, pretty good review, this game is an all time favorite.

[Luigi84289]

@maddmaxstar No there are 40, 45 if you count the last 5 that hatch when you get to the mothership.

[maddmaxstar]

@Luigi84289 I was counting the 8 at the end. There are 39 when you start the game, but once you enter the final levels and discover the Queen laid eggs, the counter goes back up from 1 to 9, and that's not counting the Baby. So 48 in total.

[iheartdonut]

Derek introduced me to Voivod. and this is my favorite original Gameboy game. all awesome!

[blizzofozz]

Good review Derek

[GeneratorNJ]

THIS IS THE BEST ON THE SUPER GAMEBOY

[theturkishgamer1]

i like this more than the nes one

[mighty3alloa]

i loved this better than the original

[gameboykid11]

6th

[RedWolf3487]

Funny how NONE of the comments are about Metroid.

[glitchz1]

Sending gameboy week off like a boss. Nice job derek.

[JamesEllisTV]

1st, YAY ^_^

[JamesEllisTV]

@JamesEllisTV oh yeah, nice vid :P

[pingeepong]

@JamesEllisTV Well you know what they say.. First to comment second to... Never mind....

PS: You are gay...

[ErinTurco21]

@JamesEllisTV Last to get laid boi.

[JamesEllisTV]

@ErinTurco21 yeah because being 1st to comment on a YOUTUBE video, determines who gets laid or not well done smartass!!!

[ErinTurco21]

@JamesEllisTV U mad?

[JamesEllisTV]

@ErinTurco21 uJelly?

[orionpax55]

@BrooklynBros Yeah, but he seems to be praising this game because it's different, when he got all upset over Super Mario Land because it was different, even if it wasn't. Besides, everyone will be over it in a few videos.

[ErinTurco21]

@JamesEllisTV Of what exactly do I have to get "jelly" of?
