UniGiant plays Super Metroid (Blind) [1] But not quite yet

This is the first time I have ever played a Metroid game. I will not be good at it. I won't know any names or backstory. I will miss secrets and hidden items. And it will drive you crazy, but PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS!

Here's a link to the live stream footage:

I didn't want it to be seen before this video because I wanted to give this let's play a proper introduction and figured that you guys would be more confused than anything if I uploaded random live stream footage from last summer without reason. I will be excluding it from the LP's playlist for the same reason, but it will be made public by the time I upload my next video.

Play sonic generations please

@sonicgogo1235 I can't play games I don't have.

To my knowledge, Youtube doesn't support 60 fps. There for, you can't see the shots nor see Samus blink when she's hurt. A way to slightly fix it is to play the PAL version of the game, wich runs on 50 fps. I believe you'll fix the blinking that way, but I'm not sure about the shooting. I hope this helps! =)

[UniversalGiant]

@Zupersonic I was able to stream the PAL version at 30fps which is why the flickering is observable there but even if I specify to record the PAL version at 30fps, it's forced to 25 and the result looks the same.

A can you

To answer more questions in the video: Ridley is the commander of the space pirates, so pretty high-up there. About the place where Mother Brain died first, not a reference, it's the exact place. The thing that gives light around 9 minutes is just a mere camera. Also, do not even try to get all 250 missles, you will never find them, they are in the most obscure spots ever, Go for the eneregy tanks, you WILL need them, believe me : D. Just saying this because I kinda care.

Ah, too bad I wasn't there for the stream. Thanks for uploading this, gotta love seeing one losing his metroid-ginity. There isn't much to spoil on this game, there is just a lot of backstory. The second game is by the way on the gameboy, some consider it as a black sheep of the series, but that's other M.

Spoiler!!!

Sheik is actually zelda.

I think the point of a blind run, and what makes them interesting to watch, is the natural reactions of a person who has no idea what's going on. It should be enough game play footage to show frustration and confusion, but short enough that it doesn't drag on endlessly. (case and point: NCS's Conker's Bad Fur Day let's play.)

As long as it's not wasting our time (no offense), I say anything goes.

And try to enjoy yourself!

I'm not really a big fan of Metroid series, but I'll try my best to stay interested during this LP.

I think you should play this like you normally would, use your own approach. Metroid mixes the exploring into the storyline so I don't you should worry about not exploring enough. But the way I play metroid games I like to go into every room possible but since this is a blind LP I don't think that would be necessary.
