well plumber steve this video game topic not games topix and for inidity yes he should and as for the origins of gaming THE FIRST game on home console ever to be released was space invaders but it floped do to nobody understood the mechanics of home videogames so pong was created to help ppl understand the mechanics of how to play games on a home console and after that space invaders became popular and spread like wildfire in a dead forest ; Im 27 and tes i was born after atari but i love it
Metroid.. My first game and still my favorite. I started playing at age six, and Samus was my hero. Looking back now, I love the new games, however, the original will always be my favorite. It started it all. I am 21 years old now, and I still love Samus Aran and this entire series. I may grow old, but to me, Metroid will NEVER get old. <3
I agree with you man! I enjoy the new games and all they have to give us gamers. However the video games had to start some place. I'am 30 now and remember Atari, Intelevision. Any one who does not like Samus is not a true gamer.
This remains one of my all time favorite games. My proudest achievement was getting the speed ending to see the revealed Samus. Thank you Nintendo Power maps.
ehhh kids these days don't even know what it was like not having megapixels and dubbly surround...why, back when I was a youngster, we had games like 'kick the can' and 'hit the loop with a stick'. THOSE were games. this stuff is just child's play...so to speak...
i remember the good old days with classics like super smash brothers melee. games these days are just bad. SSBM was the best!! That's ware today's video games got thare start
just got this for the nintendo 3ds its polished and sounds good but i changed the graphics back to classic this is my first time playing it i never owned it on nes when i was a kid looking forward to playing it finally.
@cooldude8912 yes well actually as a "reward" for purchasing the 3ds and going into the marketplace prior to i think...August 31st before midnight you were labeled as an ambassador and given 10 free nes games which looked a little toned up and 10 free GBA games, the GBA games wont be given till close to the end of the year. but the nes games given were..... zelda 1 and 2, metroid, wrecking crew, ice climbers, super mario bros, yoshi, champion golf, balloon fight, dk jr.
it WAS free, if you were an owner of a 3ds PRIOR to AUGUST 30th.... if im not mistaken it was only given to people who owned a 3ds before that date, its def remade cause its very crisp and clean
@robertsfunny1995 Back then, gamers weren't used to the idea of having to go left. It was a way to quickly train the gamer in the concept of exploration. They would naturally go right only to have their path blocked by a low hanging wall. They would have to turn back and, upon a little exploration, they would be given the very ability needed to overcome this obstacle. This little exercise prepared the gamer for the type of exploration based gameplay that was in store for them.
Great job but this run is obviously fake, nearly ten minutes and not a single screen flash, or any fuzzy dots in sight. (The people that played this on nes know what im talking about and will get the joke, to everyone else just disregard).
i remember one summer morning. The lazy days of my 80's life. I went over to my cousin's house to play "my" metroid game that my mom bought for me. First word's out of his mouth was " It's a girl!!". His all nighter ruined the surprise for me....*nerd boy crying inside*
I was pissed off that my mom beat this b4 I did. Bad thing is it was a school night when she finished it and woke me up at after mid night too brag about it. And was the only game she ever finished.
Someone actually said this was the worst Metroid? LOL!!! Jesus Christ, this is what Metroid is all about. This being the best one and the second Super Metroid. Kids /sigh
i've been watchin alot of speed runs and i just think back as a kid that you get so caught up on tryna kill everything on the screen u frustrate yourself.
this game is rly hard to play. we had our NES at 1994, i was 6 in this time, and that was a rly great time. i would not like to miss this in my life. phantastic game memorys
While I think that Super Metroid is the best, there is no denying the accomplishments made in the original. I was probably 8 or 9 when this game came out and was pretty lost at first, but as kids do...my friends and I would take turns swapping the controller around until the game was beat. For it's time, it was definately one of the best games ever made. To this day it still ranks in the top 50.
@michelrpg well yeah i know when i saw the Super Mario bros. movie i didnt play mario for 2 years, but take the Final Fantasy movies i havent seen them but i saw some reviews before i posted this comment and ppl say those movies are fairly good and just think of the awesomnes of Metroid Prime movie
@ferranask8 Metroid Other M is a real game and it doesn't suck it just did some very none Metroid things its still an overall great game just not a great metroid game.
metroid is gay it got no plot just a robot dude with a pistol it sooooo gay call of duty is the BEST GAME EVA thes grafics look crap there noooo excuse

Thank you for this spiceninja! This time run is really amazing and will help me a lot. This game is one of my favorites and really brings me back to being a kid you know.
I just finished publishing my novelization of the Manga! Everything you will need to know about Samus is in my new book. Look for it on "blurb dot kahm!"
@catseatingclouds Wrong again, idiot. I wrote the comment by hand and typed and published a 51,000 word novel, having used this video as research. I'm selling the book at cost and making no profit. There is no way the preceding message could be considered spam.
@gnortznitz Wow..guy...honestly.....speechless....That was a real cool story.....now why dont you take your novel get some KY on it and shove it up your azz now :)
How long would it take the average gamer to beat this ? Im thinking about playing it for the first time, i just re-beat Super Metroid in 4hrs 20 mins with 72%
And to the kids saying this was the "worst" metroid, you're out of your freakin' heads. This is METROID FOOLS. All others are spinoffs. If you want the real metroid, this is it.
Youngsters....with their fancy motion controllers and pokemon crap...you'll never know how awesome it was to be playing a video game during the dawn of the gaming era, especially this game which helped define a generation.
@TheClassicalSauce Metroid is a great game and it did start the series, but Super Metroid is a spinoff? It takes Metroid's formula and perfects it. Perfect game in all aspects.
@TheClassicalSauce agreed..i "gave up" on metroid when they turned it in to a call of duty first person view kind of game...my opinion really killed the game for me...P.s. calling kids online doesn't really help your story much :(
@TheClassicalSauce I was a kid when this NES version came out... this was the worst Metroid. Unacceptably hard, absurdly confusing and no explanation of what anything was or why dragons and a giant brain were working together. It gets a pass because it was an NES game, so it can't be called terrible, but the sequel on the SNES was certainly better.
@TheClassicalSauce i could't agree more. i may be a "young person" but since i was three i was playing games on my n64 and snes( my nes stopped working). These games not were but ARE the best.
@TheClassicalSauce I agree with you, although I am fan of pokemon (as my name suggests). Those games were not made to be beaten easily; you needed skill, memory... and patience, because those games were hard and you have to start over when you screwed up (I talk here of Mario Lost Levels, Metroid, Adventure of Link and Castlevania)
Retro Games are the best games for lenght and challenge they offer, in my opinion. And those who say that I am wrong, then it is your point of view, don't bash me.
@TheClassicalSauce I'm from the generation of motion controls and all that other stupid crap, and I completely agree with you. I'll gladly take Super Metroid over Metroid: Other M any day.
@TheClassicalSauce I'm a "youngster", yet I fully understand the fun of playing these old games. Heck I'm probably spending more time on a game like this than, say the XBox 360. Too bad I suck at Metroid though...
@TheClassicalSauce metroid 2 and super metroid arent spinoffs. even in super metroid during the title screen it says metroid 3 so its in the main series.
@TheClassicalSauce and to the twats who say kids dont appreciate old gaming that defined the future of gaming fuck you , im 13 i have a nes i love old stuff and so does a lot of my friends , so stop being so judgemental you stupid tarde
@mushroomhead104 I completely agree, some people seem to think that we can't appreciate classic gaming just because we didn't grow up during that particular generation, fuck that, age doesn't mean a thing, sure there are a lot of younger kids nowadays that can't appreciate classic gaming, but that's their loss, it's not like all kids nowadays can't appreciate classic gaming, because that's simply not true. Some people just make assumptions based on stereotypes that aren't true, so, fuck them.
tarde? Also, it's sad that a 13 year old is using words like "twat" and "fuck". Please don't use those. It doesn't make you any more sophisticated or mature. It's rather immature actually. Otherwise, I agree us old folk do often mistakenly look down on younger people.
@TheClassicalSauce Yeah no kidding - I have a couple of 8-year old nephews who thought old video games must be too easy and the graphics too primitive for "more sophisticated" gamers like them to enjoy. I got them to try Mega Man, Castlevania, and Contra. When they played Mega Man and got their asses handed to them they bitched that there was no way to save the game. They cringed at the thought of passwords because that was too much effort. Now old games suck for being "too hard" XD schmucks.
@TheClassicalSauce Although I will grant they're only 8 and new to gaming in general. It's just amazing to me how quickly their expectations solidified into the modern schema. There are some tykes out there who can haul ass and then some on the classics. One cousin of mine, 14 years old, can beat Contra in one sitting, all by himself, without even using the Konami code. I still find that pretty goddamn impressive. I can't beat Contra NOW without using the Konami code :P
I think this plot I just suggested would be cool for Metroid 5, because Metroid 4 (Fusion) ended with many signs of a possible sequel. We could already see signs of this group of corrupt scientists and politics underestimating the metroids and wanting to improve their already great danger to use them as weapons.
Metroids are just animals, the real villains are almost always those who use them as weapons - or, in this case, those who cultivate them irresponsibly.
Samus'd be attacked by many metroids, losing all her powers. She'd never win an army of mutant metroids even if the weak Fusion Suit (she lost the Power Suit in Metroid Fusion) still had all its powers. Then she'd find chozo inscriptions and remember legends about a great chozo warrior with an almost divine suit that was burried in this same planet. She'd have to find and explore the temple to take the Chozo Suit, only with that she could save that planet - and prove innocence.
If I was the writer, I'd make a 3rd illegal lab with mutant metroids, just like in Other M and Fusion, but in a human colony planet. Samus would find out with the data she got from Fusion, then she'd invade it to collect proves against the corrupt scientists. But they'd try to kill her, setting all metroids free by accident, then they'd all escape to the surface and attack cities. They'd blame Samus for this chaos and she would have to prove her innocence.
I remember practically ALL the secrets in the NES games and Sega games I owned. I started out on the classic games at the age of like 3 or 4 years old, so I retained that information like a sponge after watching my older siblings play and my dad haha. Good memories =)
Holy crap, I never knew about that secret at 5:45. I always end up getting the ice beam in Ridley's area. The same weapon is in two different locations?
Yup, pretty much the first thing you do in Metroid is get ready to go get the ice beam. It's so good for freezing things and jumping and taking short-cuts.
And then of course, this one also had the long beam, since you start with short range....
Very unforgiving game with pits that can take forever to figure out how to get out of, etc.
Modern noobs wouldn't like it. Requires too much skill and patience.
if you have metroid prime AND metroid fusion beat metroid fusion. First of all, its a good game and second, you will unlock metroid(oh yeah and i forgot to mention you also need a gameboy/gamecube connecter.sorry.)on metroid prime. And another code for infinite health and missiles is
This was the game that started my horrible addiction. I got a Super NES because they made metroid on it. I got a gameboy because they made metroid on it. Then I got a gamecube only because it came with metroid. Now just the other day I broke down and got a gameboy advanced for ...yep...metroid! Damn it
Love how's there's no map, no clues as to where should go, you get an item, no explanation as to what it does haha. Sure beats the 20min tutorial games give you now every hour...i really miss using my brain Nintendo!

And to the kids saying this was the "worst" metroid, you're out of your freakin' heads. This is METROID FOOLS. All others are spinoffs. If you want the real metroid, this is it.
Youngsters....with their fancy motion controllers and pokemon crap...you'll never know how awesome it was to be playing a video game during the dawn of the gaming era, especially this game which helped define a generation.

@TheClassicalSauce Metroid is a great game and it did start the series, but Super Metroid is a spinoff? It takes Metroid's formula and perfects it. Perfect game in all aspects.
SpiderMagic123 11 months ago
@TheClassicalSauce agreed..i "gave up" on metroid when they turned it in to a call of duty first person view kind of game...my opinion really killed the game for me...P.s. calling kids online doesn't really help your story much :(

@TheClassicalSauce I was a kid when this NES version came out... this was the worst Metroid. Unacceptably hard, absurdly confusing and no explanation of what anything was or why dragons and a giant brain were working together. It gets a pass because it was an NES game, so it can't be called terrible, but the sequel on the SNES was certainly better.

@TheClassicalSauce I agree with you, although I am fan of pokemon (as my name suggests). Those games were not made to be beaten easily; you needed skill, memory... and patience, because those games were hard and you have to start over when you screwed up (I talk here of Mario Lost Levels, Metroid, Adventure of Link and Castlevania)
Retro Games are the best games for lenght and challenge they offer, in my opinion. And those who say that I am wrong, then it is your point of view, don't bash me.

@mushroomhead104 I completely agree, some people seem to think that we can't appreciate classic gaming just because we didn't grow up during that particular generation, fuck that, age doesn't mean a thing, sure there are a lot of younger kids nowadays that can't appreciate classic gaming, but that's their loss, it's not like all kids nowadays can't appreciate classic gaming, because that's simply not true. Some people just make assumptions based on stereotypes that aren't true, so, fuck them.

tarde? Also, it's sad that a 13 year old is using words like "twat" and "fuck". Please don't use those. It doesn't make you any more sophisticated or mature. It's rather immature actually. Otherwise, I agree us old folk do often mistakenly look down on younger people.

@TheClassicalSauce Yeah no kidding - I have a couple of 8-year old nephews who thought old video games must be too easy and the graphics too primitive for "more sophisticated" gamers like them to enjoy. I got them to try Mega Man, Castlevania, and Contra. When they played Mega Man and got their asses handed to them they bitched that there was no way to save the game. They cringed at the thought of passwords because that was too much effort. Now old games suck for being "too hard" XD schmucks.

@TheClassicalSauce Although I will grant they're only 8 and new to gaming in general. It's just amazing to me how quickly their expectations solidified into the modern schema. There are some tykes out there who can haul ass and then some on the classics. One cousin of mine, 14 years old, can beat Contra in one sitting, all by himself, without even using the Konami code. I still find that pretty goddamn impressive. I can't beat Contra NOW without using the Konami code :P

I think this plot I just suggested would be cool for Metroid 5, because Metroid 4 (Fusion) ended with many signs of a possible sequel. We could already see signs of this group of corrupt scientists and politics underestimating the metroids and wanting to improve their already great danger to use them as weapons.
Metroids are just animals, the real villains are almost always those who use them as weapons - or, in this case, those who cultivate them irresponsibly.
BrunoSan1986 1 year ago
*continuing...
Samus'd be attacked by many metroids, losing all her powers. She'd never win an army of mutant metroids even if the weak Fusion Suit (she lost the Power Suit in Metroid Fusion) still had all its powers. Then she'd find chozo inscriptions and remember legends about a great chozo warrior with an almost divine suit that was burried in this same planet. She'd have to find and explore the temple to take the Chozo Suit, only with that she could save that planet - and prove innocence.
BrunoSan1986 1 year ago
I heard that there will be Metroid 5.
If I was the writer, I'd make a 3rd illegal lab with mutant metroids, just like in Other M and Fusion, but in a human colony planet. Samus would find out with the data she got from Fusion, then she'd invade it to collect proves against the corrupt scientists. But they'd try to kill her, setting all metroids free by accident, then they'd all escape to the surface and attack cities. They'd blame Samus for this chaos and she would have to prove her innocence.
BrunoSan1986 1 year ago
I remember practically ALL the secrets in the NES games and Sega games I owned. I started out on the classic games at the age of like 3 or 4 years old, so I retained that information like a sponge after watching my older siblings play and my dad haha. Good memories =)

Holy crap, I never knew about that secret at 5:45. I always end up getting the ice beam in Ridley's area. The same weapon is in two different locations?
fudawg45 1 year ago
Yup, pretty much the first thing you do in Metroid is get ready to go get the ice beam. It's so good for freezing things and jumping and taking short-cuts.
And then of course, this one also had the long beam, since you start with short range....
Very unforgiving game with pits that can take forever to figure out how to get out of, etc.
Modern noobs wouldn't like it. Requires too much skill and patience.
Ice beam helps though.

if you have metroid prime AND metroid fusion beat metroid fusion. First of all, its a good game and second, you will unlock metroid(oh yeah and i forgot to mention you also need a gameboy/gamecube connecter.sorry.)on metroid prime. And another code for infinite health and missiles is
