#metroid 2 return of samus

[olavored]

I remade the Alpha Metroid sprite from Metroid 2 for fun lol

Inspired by a previous pixel art I made.

This has to be the most specific thing I've ever made. This is a model of a Septogg, a creature found in Metroid 2: Return of Samus as well as the unofficial remake AM2R. It is also a functional cup, though it's rather inconvenient trying to store anything in there. AM2R really made me love these things despite the small role they play, and I wanted to make something showing this fondness. They're just funny little critters.

those six hours had me prepared to book a flight to germany so i could throw a computer at you in person

Context: This poor fucker had to help me hack my 2ds via discord. This process usually takes an hour at best. Mine took 6 hours. Here’s a little best of:

2 super and fusion are just the best metroid games. & zero mission is good too

I'm being hypocritical here but its very frustrating how any discussion of AM2R or Samus Returns always boils down to "AM2R is better" even when I want to talk about the games in isolation. Number one, they're different games that make different decisions about gameplay and how to reinterpret Metroid II. Number two, despite the differences, a lot of the decisions they make are basically the same, and a lot of the time I catch people clowning on Samus Returns for something AM2R does very similarly (for example, the approach to adapting the soundtrack). Number three, Samus Returns has lots of flaws, but AM2R is itself no golden child (looking at the boss fights, though that's not the only thing).

I'm a big fan of AM2R, and between the two remakes I think it probably is the better one. But the difference in quality is not nearly as stark as people make it out to be, and Samus Returns has the unfortunate distinction of being compared to the original Metroid II, AM2R, AND Dread when there is a lot going for it on its own merits.

In the end, Samus Returns, AM2R, and the original Metroid II are companion pieces. They all give valuable insight into an important part of Metroid's history and how the gaming landscape changed from the 90s to the 2010s.

A lil' Metroid art I did a few days ago

never tried drawing the metroid queen before, I think it came out quite nicely :>

[somniasky]

sometimes outta nowhere i get really into playing a bunch of games in a series and while i was in the middle of doing all the zeldas i decided to procrastinate on starting phantom hourglass by playing super metroid (the only metroid id ever played before this was dread)

this then blossomed into me doing fusion, then zero mission, then dread again, and even am2r because my body decided that i must (2d) metroid until i simply couldnt. all of this is to say that as a series, its shocking that metroid manages to be so consistently fun. thats not an experience i usually get from playing a bunch of games in a series, usually a real stinker crops up once in a while...

They don't make remakes like they used to. In the GBA, DS and 3DS Era, most remakes usually had new content added, like the Sevii Islands in FRLG, the areas added in the Metroid remakes and the old Zelda remakes would usually have a new dungeon in them. Now, we basically only get remasters. BDSP is basically just DP without customisable secret bases. It's hard for me to be excited for games like LM2HD when there's just nothing new.
