I first played Super Metroid in my 20s after getting it on 3DS virtual console
>>

Do you even like metroidvanias? Have you played any others, modern or retro?

I feel like it's like people saying Morrowind/BOTW/Hollow Knight etc is garbage because they have no attention span and don't like exploring.

Super Metroid has pretty bad bosses by modern standards and some janky mechanics (like the wall jump and grappling hook), but the exploration and atmosphere are still top tier.

>>12567828
Yeah? Fuck your mother

nice larp zoom zoom

I've played it only a couple if years ago and consider it one of my faves now, fuck off zoomer.

>>12567828
I wouldn't mind SM if its fans didn't treat it like the greatest work of art human civilization ever produced. Its an okay game, even great for its time, it has a lot of good moments., but also a lot of insultingly dumb shit. Awful enemy design, awful bosses, awful movement.
>>
>>12568662
The movement is sublime

botw and hollow knight are garbage though.
Morrowind is good

Fuck you, the Super Metroid wall jump is peak. Literally the only wall jump that actually takes some skill to execute.
>>
>>12568808
>something being needlessly challenging is...le peak
I like how Fusion and Zero Mission completely ditch Supers horseshit and just give you amazing movement mechanics instead. ZM is actual peak metroid experience

And with your next breath you ask why modern games are so shit.

Has anyone done a romhack that just fixes the controls? I otherwise really enjoy the game but the way all the moves work just feels inconsistent and like shit. The wall jumping fucking sucks, the screw attack fucking sucks, the space jump fucking sucks, and all of those suck to do because the basic jump fucking sucks whether you spin or not when you jump feels completely random. If a romhack just made this shit work like a normal game I would be more inclined to go back to it more often. Everything else about the game is phenomenal but this is clearly it's biggest problem, not just to me, but for everyone else I've talked to who don't like the game.

>Not having to deal with needlessly high friction controls = Just mashing buttons
Holy retard you have no argument
>>
>>12568854
>high friction
What the fuck are you talking about? All you need to do is press two buttons in quick succession with the right timing which takes all of two minutes to get consistently.
>>
>>12567828
it's an adventure, you're supposed to take in the atmosphere

i wasn't bored with this game even when i got stuck, because the music and mood and environment had me fascinated
>>
>>12568848
>whether you spin or not when you jump feels completely random
I swear modern gamers are incapable of paying attention to what buttons they press. It's literally just spin if you pressed a direction before jump, normal jump otherwise.

Every time you ziggers mention "friction" an cat dies

Super Metroid Redux, makes it play like the GBA games

I actually like Fusion more than Super. I don't know what it is, Super has always felt "floaty" to me in a way I'm not a fan of.

>>12568815
But Fusion has walljumping. You're required to do it in some sections.
>>
>>12570891
Fusion ditched the low gravity physics, wall jumping no longer requires parryslop tier timing, grapple is gone, the bosses are actually good, and you don't get lost anymore, the game is pretty linear and everything is signposted/marked on your map.

I still think AM2R is the best Metroid game, but Fusion comes pretty close.
>>
>>12570891
Fusion removed single wall scaling, you can walljump but only between two walls. I don't think it's required anywhere, there are ladders slapped everywhere. You also can't IBJ in Fusion. This probably led to some speedtranny suicides.
