    When I had a GameCube, I had no idea what the Metroid series was, or what this game was about. All I knew was it had gotten good reviews. I picked it up used and when I fired it up, I was immediately hooked and immersed in a game world in a way I had never experienced. It was truly a special and magical experience for me. I could sing this game's praises for all time. This game made me a gamer for life.

    Having only played this game recently, I can say this game is one of the best I've ever played. To be honest, the controls felt weird at first but I got used to them real fast, and hope that Metroid Prime 4 at least has an option for "throwback controls" or "legacy controls" whatever title makes sense.

    • @RosemaryTheFloran
      @RosemaryTheFloran Рік тому +1

      I should say I played it on the gamecube, I probably wouldn't have liked it as much with motion controls since I am not much of a fan of them as anyone else who plays nintendo games.

    in my opinion, this game was even BETTER on the wii(trilogy)! same thing for echo's too! playing these two games with FULL motion controls was an amazing experience! though, I can sort of get why some people would hate this on the wii... but in my opinion, this complaint probably would stem from people who just couldn't really adapt well to these new controllers to appreciate just how awesome that was.

    Love the game, but I personally prefer the controls of the Trilogy release on wii. Having to hold in the GameCube analog trigger until it clicked to lock on caused quite a bit of finger fatigue, especially during the marathon of a final boss battle.

    I play it on Mouse and Keyboard using Dolphin emulator and it's just soo good. I never thought a 2 decade old game designed to be played on controller would translate so well to PC play. (Using Prime Trilogy, playing 1 & 2. Haven't figured out how to map motion controls to PC peripherals yet.)

    With the whole controls complaint, as someone who has played this game quite a lot, holding L to lock on makes moving around the map much easier, and it even makes you move a bit faster, though yes, the turn speed is a bit slow.

      Lol, and for me... that's HARD to say which out of the two I liked best. both are very, VERY unique and are satisfying to play in different ways. prime 1, though easier, is GOOD quality fun with its more simplistic approach while echo's might be a bit better because it offers a tighter difficulty spike. its not TOO bad(err.. hard)as the dark beam helps out a LOT(its PRETTY busted, lol). my favorite might actually be the second game as well.
      Though... the brokenness of the dark beam is NOTHING in comparison to just how SAVAGELY broken hypermode was in prime 3. prime 3.... is the EASIEST of the three and happens to be my LEAST favorite of the three as well. but its NOT a bad game. I liked it as well, its just I FOUND it a little TOO on the easy side. EVEN on hard...
      As easy as it is though, I still like to play it occasionally.

    The bit about the archaic controls (being single-thumbstick). I actually NEVER had any issue with that. In-fact, I quite liked the control scheme. Unfortunately, years later, it would become problematic as it's already very clear that it'll be a problem when/if MP1 comes to the the Switch. As with Super Mario Sunshine on the Switch, the Switch's lack of analogue triggers that allow partial presses means that, even with the Switch GameCube controller (which lacks the same), it will not be possible to free-aim.

    • @axtheaxe7633
      @axtheaxe7633 Рік тому

      If they release Prime for Switch, they'd probably just use the Trilogy's motion control aiming and map it to dual joysticks. I know it's possible because I've mapped those same aiming controls to mouse and it works great. I'd actually be extremely hyped for a Prime release on Switch.

    I mean post Ocarina of Time Zelda without Miyamoto isn't a big deal, since he's barely involved anymore, Aonuma taking the reins, but yeah would certainly suck, even seen that happen outside of games, some anime I've watched, Chuck Jones when he passed in 2002 a man that shaped my childhood with How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Looney Tunes, and Tom and Jerry to name a few. Always unfortunate when creators pass away, even more so in the middle of a franchise's life, Berserk's creator passing away last year, if Oda passed away while One Piece is coming up on its final arc just out of nowhere would CERTAINLY suck. Any medium, it's a tragedy to see people pass away that inspired you, especially if it was premature due to an uncontrollable health think like Iwata getting cancer back in 2018, or in this case out of the blue an out of nowhere, out of left field accidents that can't be controlled in the moment, but perhaps could've been prevented entirely... did not mean for this to turn into an obituary or in memory of, especially since I'm not a Metroid fan, not that I hate the series either, just not for me, but well here we are, and I'm sure everyone who is a Metroid fan has remembered I'm fondly all these years later, he has been missed.

    Wow, thanks for acknowledging the REAL creator of Metroid (Gunpei Yokoi). Not enough people do this. Too often lately Sakamoto is getting credit when he was NOT a creator in any way shape or form (he was one of several character artists Yokoi brought on at the end of development). Sakamoto is a no talent hack, who got where he was by taking credit for other people's work. He basically usurped everything Yokoi did, and took credit.
