METROID DREAD HYPE - Happy Console Gamer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- Metroid Dread video game hype is in the air for Johnny and Rob Man, Metroid Dread is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD for the Nintendo Switch. Set after the events of Metroid Fusion (2002), players control bounty hunter Samus Aran as she faces a nefarious robotic enemy on the planet ZDR. It retains the side-scrolling gameplay of previous 2D Metroid games, and adds stealth elements.
Dread was conceived as a Nintendo DS game in the mid-2000s, but was canceled due to technical limitations.

I found my copy of Metroid 2 that I had when I was 10 years old in my parents' basement not too long ago. I popped it in my game boy and low and behold, my save file was there. My 10 year old self had given up because there was no internet back then. I dove back in, realized that I was still lost, went online found my way out and beat the game 30 years later.
That's a nice story
Behold the worlds longest speed run
One of the best things about gaming these days, in my opinion as an older gamer, is revisiting games from years back and getting past those moments that held us up for so long. It's like unlocking lightning in a bottle.
I bought the game 10 years ago with an almost completed play through and finished it. Was a great experience.
That is awesome!!!!
"colored it in with my copic markers"
The moment Johnny subtly lets us know he's a millionaire.
haha that made me actually laugh out loud!
The first video on this channel I watched was actually the "Metroid Memories" one where you two tell about how you discovered the franchise back then. I just discovered the franchise myself back then in 2013 and looked for anything Metroid-related. Spin-Off and remakes aside, Dread is actually my very first brand new Metroid and I can't wait to play it.
Metroid aside, this is one of my favourite channels on UA-cam since back then - greetings to you and thanks for all the great stories through the years! :)
Speaking of "not giving everything away" story wise, Samus has always had that mystery surrounding her. That said, this mystery is decades old now and maybe its time we got some new lore to inch things along.
I have to admit that I've never gone deep into the Metroid series, but the discussion you guys have had about the series makes me want to look into it.
It’s not a rewarding trip. Metroid is a game that is meant to be vague and have a very light story. But there are certain types of gamers who cannot handle lack of detail. So they obsess and make things up and read into things.
Love hearing Rob reminiscing of you two when you were young.
I think Rob would love samus returns on 3DS! When you complete the game 100% there are “chozo memories” artwork you can unlock that tease the role chozo will play in the new game! Really cool stuff imo :)
I'm more excited for this than for Prime 4. Call me crazy, but I just love the old 2D games more.
because super metroid still has the best overall structure in any metroid games including prime.
@Mr. NoName yeah true. Metroid prime series is one of the best thing happened in gaming industry. And this point of view of mine is bias in many sanse. But i want to give reason behind my words. The reason why i called super Metroid better is in its overall structure. If you know about problems of prime series. You would know about that one of the biggest problem of prime series is its boring backtracking where it force you to backtrack in this big labyrinthine world. Super Metroid also had big world but it first teaches you how to find secrets in the world by cutting your path. Then after you get every item in 'tutorial' section. It completely removes it's restrictions and let you find your path of way forward with your own pace and abilities. Backtracking is not boring because you are not travelling same room just for one upgrade but you actually don't know your objectives and try to progress in game along with finding many secrets in previous area's dead ends. It doesn't have teleport and it doesn't need teleport because it's backtracking is so natural and fluid. It also give you tools. So you don't have to follow same path in your second playthrough by breaking games in new ways. It doesn't mean prime series has bad world design. The thing is i find backtracking in first prime game. Many people don't find it boring. Prime also try to address this challenge by introducing different part of separated world in prime 2. That's why prime 2 is even better game than prime 1 in my opinion.
I think Metroid Prime 1 is fantastic, but let's be real, the series started to get really old by the time Metroid Prime 3 came out, didn't it? So trying something new is ABSOLUTELY perfect for where we are at right now.
Strong agree, that's why indie games are so good.
@Mr. NoName yeah backtracking is not bad thing. instead it force you to truly understand the world and explore every nook and cranny of world to find secrets and upgrades but it should be rewarding and genuine like super metroid. You didn't has to go same room again and again for one thing but you always get rewarded for backtracking with entire new rooms and puzzles in every room where you backtrack to progress further. It doesn't mean super metroid didn't have boring bits of backtracking. it does have this boring bit of backtracking especially the path to reach norfair. Their is only one path to reach norfair. That's force you backtrack same room again and again. You also had to cross same norfair again to reach deeper parts of lower norfair which actually not bad backtracking because it has many shortcuts for us to reach it but still entering norfair is always tedious. Travelling norfair is pretty fun when you had many upgrades but entering is not. It should also has shortcuts for entrance or even different entrance for norfair from different places other than only red soil brinstar like crateria or maridia.
I enjoyed this for the Metroid memories more than the Dread talk. Love hearing you guys together.
Always love a new video!…EVEN BETTER WITH ROBMAN!!!
Search action/Metroidvania is for me personally the most interesting subgenre, the routing and rerouting is such a fun exploration game design! I started with Metroid Fusion and then i played Metroid Prime linking my Gamecube with the GBA SP unlocking the NES Metroid and i played through that without a map (that game is hard to a fault at certain points)
Really cool video btw, the hype is real!
I drew my own map for Metroid to NES. The whole world I hade handmade on this square paper I used for my math classes. Every item was marked down. I was so proud of myself back then. :)
The more I see, the more excited I get getting this game! I never played a Metroid game before
You need to!
If u have a wii u I recommend u play Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Zero mission!
Super Metroid is still one of my top 5 best games ever. I don’t replay games very often….but I do replay Super Metroid about every other year, or so. I’m stoked for Dread.
I've never played a Metroid game before. I've randomly watched the Trailer 2 and Gameplay Trailer yesterday, and it had STRONG Gamecube vibes. I can't explain it. The editing was just so well done, and even thought it was just in-game graphic, it was very scenario/movie-like. And the surroundings are exactly my cup of tea!
Dread has been in planning for almost as long as Fusion was released. Seeing it revived, it definitely is the sequel we have been waiting for 20 years later.
It looks incredible, every trailer shows off its energy, vibe, and focus of exploration, atmosphere, visuals and music. Will be worth the wait
@b p no. Just because a game doesn’t come out for decades doesn’t mean they have been working on it for decades. It probably had 24 months of development like anything else.
You're missing out. Metroid Prime 1 was a 9.5/ 10 game a must play. the gba games also are amazing, the older ones are hard to get into but, I was from that era.
@@JazGalaxy Maybe he meant the core concept has been developed back then and hasn't been much changed since then. Cause I didn't know that, and even I can tell just by watching the trailers that it has some Gamecube-vibes. Not sure if I understood the comment correctly, though.
@@oasisbeyond Since I still have a Wii, I'll try to find Prime somewhere. Thank you. Maybe I'm very biased, but imo the best games are from the late 90s and early 2000s. So I am not surprised you're rating Prime that high. Most of my favourite games are from that era, too. However, I also think that since ~2016, the quality of games has drastically improved again! (it used to be a bit low for a decade or so) I was especially surprised by some singleplayer games on the PS4 as well as the Switch.
I'll be honest, I wish you guys talked about Metroid Fusion more. I get that Super Metroid is the fan-favorite but to gloss over Fusion is really a disservice for an incredible game.
It's a very good game and very relevant given that this is the sequel
For me, I wish more people talked about Zero Mission.
It's possible that John didn't play it? They tend to talk about the games they connected with the most, obviously. Personally, I didn't play it much either, sadly.
I was a little frustrated the first time I played it when I figured out that they "nerfed" bomb jumping :\
But then I accepted that it wasn't "that type" of Metroid game and enjoyed the ride! I do appreciate how they tackled the horror aspect in Fusion and hope they keep that train rolling in Dread :o
It’s crazy I’m 28 and been watching you guys for like 10 years! And every time robmans on the vid I get a buzz every-time. Love you guys!
John and Rob reminiscing about the past = the best thing on UA-cam! It never gets old..thanks so much guys 😁😁 you have no idea how many times you have made a shit day into a great day!
I love how passionate you both are for the past,and the future.as a 41 year old man ,it warms my heart.much love.uk.
Rob is awesome. I wish I have a gamer friend like him. Go, Canadian gamers.
Can't wait! I remember when I was young playing Metroid over and over on my Gameboy. Since then I was hooked! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I've never played Metroid games before but I got so hyped about dread releasing after freaking 19 years which got me curious. I watched Arlo's video on getting into the Metroid games and reading the first two manga before zero mission. Excited about getting into the Metroid universe. Dread looks really interesting, hope it will be successful. 👍
I hope you like the games!
Why do grown adults watch a talking puppet & formulate their opinions based on their thoughts. Do your own research and play the old games and see for yourself if thats something you’d be into. Don’t waste $60 on a game because theres “hype” behind it. Be a free thinker.
@@maciller8461 Maybe he doesn't have the consoles? Why are you so upset, but buying the old games (and maybe consoles) is a risk as it is quite expensive (for me at least) and I'd rather go the safe route and watch someone introduce me to the series before I decide if I potentially like it or not. It does not mean OP is 100% influenced by Arlo's opinion. It was just a video containing info about how much content there is for Metroid and what to better consume first. The heck?
Go play super metroid you pleb. Its the best snes game. ... play some metroid fusion it'll take you maybe 8 hours to finish...
This game series invented a genre still going strong today. It absolutely holds up. Even the nes game holds up to a degree.
And you call yourself a gamer? Lol
The manga deserves more love
I'll support it just because. It's an iconic series that deserves to have at least one mega seller in the franchise.
John getting awkward while Rob was praising him for his art is just too cute, this friendship is just so cute haha.
I felt those feels
What a great friend Rob is too... I know many people that don't love their friends' art that much and they regard it mostly lukewarm.
You guys are so great. Thanks for the memories!
Awesome video guys! I haven’t really played any of the Metroids but I’m super excited about Dread. Maybe I should revisit them.
The Nintendo Trinity...wow, I gotta use that one. Never heard anyone say that but it's so natural and organic. Thanks Rob
A journey with Metroid. It is wild how long it has been. To see Metroid V finally happening is exciting. Plus your memory with Rob, and then your experience with the series. Fascinating, and fun
Cannot wait for October 8th
You guys are just lovely in your friendship and enthusiasm for gaming. A refreshing break from all the toxicity of social media and the pandemic.
I feel your pain Rob, I can't draw to save my life either.
Message for Rob : I understand completely the Siguorney Weaver stuff.. I had the pictures too.. Damn she looked good in Galaxy Quest as well. :)
You two guys just make it so much fun to watch !
Loved this video one of my favorites so far I mean I love alot of your videos but this is one of my absolute favorite
god damn you got me there, when you said that metroid memories video was from nine years ago. That was the first ever video I watched on this channel.... Time does fly huhh
This was a GREAT exciting video guys. Yall got me even MORE hype for Metroid!
Awesome video as always, great to see both of you ;)
I'm REALLY looking forward to Dread. I've avoided all trailers since the announcement. I received several Nintendo Gift Cards a few months ago, and I'm using some of it to buy this Day 1!!! I only wish they would release a physical of the originals with replica instruction manuals on a physical copy.
So excited for Dread. Looking to finish my second playthrough of Returns and do a run of Fusion before it comes out!
I Pre-ordered as soon as it was available. Like you boys, I also played Metroid 1 on a tiny color TV back in the day, pulling all nighters n such, and then Super Metroid when that came out, man they were such good days!!!
You guys are great! You’re connection really shows!
Love seeing your art buddy keep it coming!
Great video! Hyped for this game, always love seeing Robman and hearing his take!
This is the first video I have watched from this channel and it is so funny and entertaining Good Job!!
Fantastic drawing of Samus Jonny well done.
There's abit in the 3ds remake of metroid II, that mentions that Chozo. The one in the Dread trailer. I'm digging your art, Johnny. Cool stuff
Can't wait for Dread! When I saw that title I was instantly sold, I remember reading about the rumours of Metroid Dread way back in 2004 or 5 when the DS was coming out! Can't believe it's finally happening! Prime / Fusion were my first Metroid games, but since then I've been back and played all the others! Love the series so much!
We love and care about everybody on the show. You make all of us very happy
Very much hyped for this game. I am going to buy an Oled switch just to start with this game. Thanks for the shout out to Symphony of the Night too.
"Hello! I'm the marshmallow man!" spit a mouthful of chili EVERYWHERE. Jesus dude lol
Great video Johnny! Very good to see Robman back to normal again as well. Thanks so much for posting!
This will be my first Metroid game ever but I have played so many metroidvanias. Hyped to finally try the series out without needing an older console
There’s a lot of excellent Metroidvanias. Ori comes to mind. But nothing, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, comes close to Metroid itself. Not even Castlevania can touch Metroid. It’s like Momster Hunter. No matter how many clones release, they just don’t scratch that same itch.
Preordered the special edition instantly, also great to see more Rob man.
im so hyped too! got mine preordered I can't wait!
I don't even play Metroid, but these two get me so excited for the new one. Lol
It's funny hearing that you guys didn't grow up with Nintendo Power. As a European retro game fan, it's been so weird getting my education about retro games through the internet over the years where NP is such a big deal! It literally didn't exist at all where I live - I really want to pick up a few issues and check it out. It would be like borrowed nostaliga haha
I'm so excited for Metroid Dread!I pre-ordered my copy back in June and cannot wait for the day it gets released.I've been a fan of Metroid since Metroid Fusion on the GameBoy Advance.
My favorite Metroid title is Metroid Prime.I've had so many memories playing the series.Very excited for Dread to come out.
Thank you guys for this video!
I love it with Rob man being back! Great vid!!
Thanks for video John and Rob really looking forward to metroid and all the very best to you guys
I 💗 the idea that the Chozo is a reference to the Space Jockey in Alien!!! 😃
Never gets old hearing you two talk about childhood gaming memories.
I cannot WAIT! Glad my favorite UA-camrs are stoked too!
I really can't believe it lol I have never played a metroid game and you two have really made me excited for metroid dread I really felt your excitement and want to experience it myself now 😂
Idk how I missed this episode but glad I came across it. That art was amazing
Canadian Samus, *as she shoots the final shot to the boss mob*, "Sooorry, Aye!"
I grew up with the NES/Famiclones in South Africa and have never played a Metroid game until fairly recently. Decided to beat the first four in recent weeks before Dread launches, which I just did last week!
Yes, preordered and I can feel your guys enthusiasm. Excellent video. Game on!
I've been playing through a good amount of the other games in the series in preparation for Dread; Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid, and soon will be playing Fusion. I still have yet to play the Prime trilogy, but I have the Wii version sitting on my shelf. Probably won't play it until after I finish Dread, and I still want to try Other M at some point.
I'm kinda hyped for the game since not having bought very many Switch games lately.
Working my way through the metroid series in preperation for Dread, can't wait till october!
It’s cool to see you have been friends for that long.
I been playing through the metriod prime trilogy again. Good times.
Got 1 & 2 for Gamecube, but it'd be great if damn Nintendo would just put the trilogy on Switch dammit
@@karnagefails333 yeah i have it on wii which i play with my wii u. Still haven’t gotten around to getting a switch. Was actually waiting for metroid prime 4 or botw 2. Whichever comes first lol
Haven't been this hyped for a game in a while... not watching any more trailers for it, don't want to spoil anything!
9 years?! you haven't aged a day... ;]
Beyond hype for this, Super Metroid is probably my all time favourite game... A lot to live up to tho!
Man....after watching this video it really makes me want to revisit all the old metroid games!
Your art is sooo good Johnny!
I’m “super” excited, been playing since launch on the nes!
Growing up not having an Super Nintendo everytime I came across one was like a mythical experience. Those memories are relatively few but they are indelible to my love of video games.
No game was more striking to my curious young mind than Super Metroid which my much older cousin owned and played in his garage. I remember being transfixed purely by the opening scene of the game.
To this day Metroid remains one of my favourite video game series of all time. And while Nintendo has been an unfaithful license holders over the years with many misfires since the release of the great prime trilogy. It's good seeing how much love and respect fans like DrM64 have given the property by recreating Metroid 2 in beautiful 16bit art style.
I don't own a switch but I'm happy that Samus and the Metroid are finally getting some much deserved attention this time around and look forward to many more Metroid games to come. Hopefully Nintendo will decide to make another 16bit style game as well.
"Metroid came out 27 years ago"
*Fortunate Son intensifies*
yup .can t wait for this .
The amiibo look amazing, I’m surprised those weren’t talked about!
Really really enjoyed the video fellas. Thank you for making my day off morning that much more awesome.
Ill wait for reviews but its definitely on my radar
I’ve been waiting for this video 🙌
I was on the same mindset regarding Metroid. I played the original, 2 and Super but at that particular moment I couldn't understand them, even Super with the map. Prime and Fusion were where I finally put it together and have been a fan ever since.
The video i didnt knew i needed, thank you bro
This is interesting how things that were back then common are now weight with gold, I keep reminding myself to buy everything twice, to keep the second one sealed, just to maybe show it off to everyone 50 years later.
It’s going to be my first one but I’m really exited for all the longtime fans too. I think it’s the perfect time for it as well no huge competition overshadowing it.
I haven't played a Metroid game yet but I'm playing Castlevania SOTN and I'm a big fan
I'm not a massive fan of metroid, furthest I got was on metroid fusion against Ridley and could t defeat him so eventually just gave up on it lol! Intrigued about this though and you guys always get me more excited about games haha!
I've been waiting for this episode
Dude your art is dope af
Johnny MILLENNIUM, ROB MAN, AND NEW METROID?!?!?!?! VIDEO GOLD!!😁👍👍👌👌👌
Hell yeah. Rob man again 👍👍
I’m looking forward to this game more than any other game at this time. Looks amazing.
Been looking forward to this since the announcement. Can't wait!
So excited for Dread! Been hearing the rumors about it for over a decade and never expected it to end up happening. Always enjoyed the 2D Metroid titles.
16:55 I laughed my ass off at this part lol 😂
I'm getting the Nintendo Switch OLED just to play on, that and I'm also getting Metroid Dread to go with the white and black Switch OLED because I think Switch OLED looks like Samus Aran's suit
I loved the last Metroid game on 3ds. It's probably my favorite of all the Metroid games. Dread looks pretty awesome.
Nice vid there :)
