>>12522176I think Metroid is a pretty cool guy. eh kills space piretes and doesn't afraid of anything.
>>12522176>Am I fucking retardedYes>did anyone else beat the game like this?Yes. That game's been played many times by all sorts of people. Your scenario wasn't special.
>>12522180y can't metroid crawl?
does it matter?>thought you could turn beams on and off in the menu
The answer is basically: yep, that’s how NES Metroid works, and he accidentally locked himself out of Ice Beam for the rest of that run.In the original Metroid on NES, Ice Beam and Wave Beam do not stack. They are mutually exclusive, so once you pick up Wave Beam, it replaces Ice Beam. The old Beam rooms also do not stay available as re-pickups, which is why he went back and found both Ice Beam rooms empty.That means his complaint is real:Grabbing the second Ice Beam was fine by itself, but later taking Wave Beam overwrote it, and without Ice Beam, the Metroids in Tourian can’t be frozen, which makes the Mother Brain approach much nastier. The Ice Beam is the standard way to deal with those Metroids.So the verdict is:He didn’t softlock the game, but he did “build-order grief” himself.He made Tourian much harder by taking Wave Beam after Ice Beam, and there was no normal way to undo that in the NES version.The funny/mean old-school answer would be:>That’s not a bug, that’s NES Metroid being a bastard.Or more plainly:>In NES Metroid, Wave Beam replaces Ice Beam permanently for that run, so once you grabbed Wave, you were stuck doing Tourian the hard way.
oh crap could see that happening
Fusion > Zero Mission > shit I pushed out this morning > Super
>>12524298This but in reverse order, including the shit going back into your ass which you will continue to be full of.
>>12524317Fusion fixes terrible parts of Super that Super fans pretend to like>obtuse shitty level design Now its streamlined in a clever way still giving the player lots of secrets. Backtracking is made more fun as the levels change over time>boring enemiesThe enemies are now more varied and challenging>boring bossesBosses are now dynamic, have a second phase, plus the X virus phase>pointless super missileThere's no super missile but regular missiles gain multiple functions>gay fucking walljumping and bomb hoppingRemoved to make speedrunning trannies seethe>awful platformingPlatforming is mostly removed + ledge grab makes movement more fluid
>>12524345I see, you're just baiting then.
