  • Hello I'm back with an interesting new video to my collection. This is simply an 8-bit remake of the final battle between samus and Mother Brain (mechanical body form) as seen in the Super Metroid game. Also, thanks everyone for the great comments. Enjoy!
    You can also watch the original mother brain battle gameplay at the following link:

      I've never seen any rotation on the NES either.
      Until recently.
      Someone did a test ROM featuring this, it was legit rotation, including scaling. However, it was VEEEEEERY slow.

      scroll to the TECHNICAL SAMPLES section. Some stuff in there really amazed me.

    Man this is good! In an era where beating the final boss involved jumping over them (Mario) or sitting in a corner mashing A (Zelda) this would have stood out as a top tier boss fight up there with Castlevania.

    i'll be honest, I unlocked the original Metroid on my Zero Mission cart and you could literally not pay me to play through it after having so much fun with Zero Mission's controls (which aren't even as tight as they are in Metroid Fusion)

      As a guy who beat the first Metroid like three or four times and still enjoyed, I can confirm it's horrible compared to the remake. But hey, Mother Brain looks amazing and seeing an almost-naked Samus is satisfying

  • @leerobbo92

    It's a shame that the original Metroid's aged so badly. I'd love to finish it properly, but the controls and speed are so frustrating now.

    • @Squadallama
      @Squadallama 9 років тому +43

      I just played through it for the first time. The controls and game speed are just fine- the engine is surprisingly tight! It is the complete lack of direction which kind of sucks (I got hella lost), but I guess you can use a walkthrough to help with that.

      Are you nuts? This is one of the most well developed examples of software in video game history. This thing absolutely cooks, even on 6502 and the soundtrack is a masterpiece. I still find myself exploring the 'secret' levels on my toploader.

    • @leerobbo92
      @leerobbo92 9 років тому +30

      Tony Brandt Well, I'm someone who went straight from the fluidity, speed and smoothness of Super Metroid to this. It's very jarring. Maybe if I tried now, after not playing Super Metroid for a while, I might cope better, but Super Metroid is in a completely different league gameplay-wise.

    • @tonybrandt8850
      @tonybrandt8850 9 років тому +11

      Ok so I may be biased as it is my favorite game of all times, like all NES games it slows down when there are too many sprites. I am also a huge fan of Super Metroid, mainly because of the reset exploit.

    • @ThisIsEvilman
      @ThisIsEvilman 9 років тому +21

      leerobbo92 I'd not say it aged badly, but the technology and ideas brought by Super Metroid were so incredibles and huge that both Metroid and Metroid II looks quite dated if you discovered Super Metroid first.
      Both games are still extremely good however, for a NES game, Metroid is damn amazing, the gameplay is pure gold, but on the technical side, it was already not the best back then, and it definitely not improved nowadays: lots of slowdown, clipping, strange glitchs... Only real problem with the game itself is the lack of map of course, there's an awful lot of rooms that are copy/pasted all over the game (especially in Kraid and Ridley hideouts), making it difficult to know where you are if you are not fully focused on your playthrough. It's difficult, but not impossible, the biggest problem for me still is the game over, when you're on the beginning without much powerups, restarting from Kraid's lair with 30HP, it's just hell on earth (or in space :p ). For me this is the real problem with the original game.
      Metroid II was very difficult too but because of the hardware this time, no colors to recognize the areas is quite complicated, once again you have to be fully focused on what you're doing if you want to get to the end...
      But honestly, if you really, really like the Metroid universe, i'm pretty sure you'll enjoy both games, beginning is always the hardest part, once you figured out where are the first items and which path to go through, you'll remember what was so good on Super Metroid: exploration, rewarding gameplay and epic music ;D

    Though it's an unpopular opinion, I always preferred Mother Brain's original NES design. There was just something so threatning about the two white eyes and the elephant tusks. I like the new Mother Brain, but at times she just looks like a cheesy 50's Sci-Fi movie monster.

    I can think of ONE other thing.
    The Vengeance Laser.
    In Super Metroid, after Mother Brain kills off the Metroid, Samus not only gains the charged Chameleon Sting (joke.), she also gets a rainbow laser of pure angry, and I would've much liked to see that duplicated in this remake.
    Still, this was excellent. And Kudos to whoever did the spritework for Mother Brain's 8-bit bod.
