JOKES ON YOU TRAV I WAS GONNA REWATCH THIS VIDEO ANYWAYS IN AN AUTISM-FUELLED METROID HYPERFIXATION JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN AGAIN FOR LIKE THE 15TH TIME THIS YEAR
He’s alive!!! HE’S ALIVE!!! Been wondering when you’d uploaded again lol! (Also fun fact, the main menu and title screen takes place in the nucleus of a Metroid!)
Metaforce is new… I’ve always heard the game nintendo chose was an unnamed “action adventure game” This is the first time ive heard of it having a name.
Every time I sit down to watch the older Metroid Prime review, I immediately go listen to the main themes instead and then come back to watch. And I'll have to do it again for this video as well.
Trav, no idea if you're gonna see this but first, LOVE that opening logo animation. And second, thanks for all the work you put into these videos dude. Yours are some of my favorites to revisit and just vibe to.
I kinda hope the space parasites come back in a future game as a major force, with how they were evolved and all the data logs about them, they have damn near as much potential as the metroids! They could become a galaxy sized threat pretty easily
One of the details I love about the visors is that depending on the one you're using, your HP will layout will change with the visor such as the X-ray visor being round, your HP curves around the new layout of the visor. Such a nice little detail
The thing that makes the map a pain is that it’s rendered orthoscopically, which very easily confuses the brain if the scene is being manipulated like how the player rotates the map ingame.
The gyro drift yoy have with your joycon is probably not a problem with your joycon. The switch at the os level has auto-recalibration system that tries to reorient the camera/cursor when it thinks it detects drift. It's not as sophisticated as steam's system where it detects whether or not the controller is completely stationary before fixing drift, and so small and subtle movements are considered as drift. Actual gyro drift is a lot like joystick drift where it's a continuous movement in a direction, but what happens on switch is that the camera will move a bit and stops. This problem also exists on playstation too.
This is one of the few games i have bought more than once. I got the game cube version twice and i got the remaster the second I heard about it! I love this game so much
On the Space Pirate designs, I'm pretty sure that it's implied that they all are one species, but are completely willing to mutate and change themselves to fit with environment. (Of course this is just some bullshit to explain why zebetian Space Pirates look one way, and why Metroid Prime pirates look another, even between different entries within Prime to an extent. But it is some fun bullshit, as it heavily characterises them as so thirsty for conquest they would alter themselves to be unrecognizable from a base appearance for an advantage)
Wait, the Prime video actually did come out after the Zero Mission video! No way! 11:52 also a good time to mention the Harmony of a Hunter albums by the Shinesparkers. I don't know about the first one because I don't have it, but the 101% Run and Returns albums both have their own renditions of the Prime menu theme, all of which are fantastic in their own right.
Im still glad i found you when when searching for videos on half-life. I've been enjoying you ever since when im grinding on games and reliving childhood memories from another mans eyes also metroid prime is peek
Slight Correction: The Omega Metroid has the same head as the Zeta Metroid, the only difference between the two, easily more visible in Samus Returns, is Omega Metroids have a chitinous plate over the core on the torso, unlike Zeta Metroids.
Ironically, or maybe not, depending on your perspective on it, Metroid Prime wasn't even remotely hated on release, ironic since Metroid Fusion released the day after, and was absolutely panned by the fans at launch for the simple act of being linear. And even I am baffled as to why people hated Fusion because the game is actually good.
"That which fouls the waters seeks the sun" is literally just an explanation of the flaagrah fight lol since its poisoning the water and feeds on sunlight, but at least you got some additional cool vibes off it I suppose lol
I recently got into GameCube gaming due to Modern gaming feeling very boring to me. Unfortunately I have a disability that prevents me from using my left side all too well and a lot of controllers just make my hands feel uncomfortable so I've been a PlayStation type of guy for a long time- but recently just bought a blade GC from retro Fighters so I could finally play some of my Wii and my GameCube games. And the first game I would like to complete will be Spyro a hero's tail and then I'm going to try completing Metroid Prime for the GameCube. So in my journey to complete my entire physical collection of GameCube and Wii games I'm hoping to be able to finally play them with somewhat efficiency. I'm slowly becoming a Nintendo fan over time in my old age and I really wanted to say thank you for this amazing video. This was the perfect video to listen to while doing my workout and setting up my modded gaming setup for my new Journey😅
i never played prime as a kid but i did get to experience the game on the hd remaster pretty much completely blind like retro and nintendo intended it to be played and i loved it.
The "And now look at what I uh will take from you" speech from 1:50:38 sounds like a evil super villain who holds his monologue to the protagonist but forgot his lines.
yknow this opening made me remember "Man I haven't watched Trav in a hot minute, and damn, kinda wish he did MP2 :(" but it is what it is, also allows me to rewatch your Metroid series (and additionally remove some kinda nasty ass comment I left on the Super video about you *missing* an item like damn what was going on with me?) Also hey, that funny Gianni guy, I know him. very nice to hear him in this Edit: On another note about Prime. I never got through much of it on the Trilogy version, I think I stopped around Flaahgra because I was getting kinda bored (I grew up on Prime 2 and by god I'll love it more than 1 or 2 till the day I die) But I hated the aero troopers, they sucked. So when I learned the Plasma beam just kinda removes them from existence, woo boy, I had found my new favorite beam in Prime 1. also allowed me to get a good enjoyment in Prime 1, which I don't think is AS bad, but still has it's flaws compared to later Prime games
Been having a tough time Trav, thanks for the video, never had the chance to play the metroid games but love hearing the passion fans have for it, fucking love your brand of humor and review format, real glad I found your channel. Also... GOD YES PLEASE, DO MEGAMAN X8 IT'S MY FAVE IN THE FRANCHISE I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS!
actually on your point on the stellarium, yes the fucked up orbits of those planets COULD suggest exoplanets, especially with how varied they are and possibly why so many are uninhabitable with a ig ring of debris so close to the star, i.e. survivors of a clash of planets
Hey Trav. Love your videos, politely asking you to please do an X8 video. I don't even need you to do Command Mission, I'm not greedy [Although I still want you to show that awesome Gamecube controller off at some point]. Hope you have a good night.
Also,I always liked the original animation upon obtaining the Phazon Suit because of what it meant for Samus. It wasn't an ordinary upgrade like every other item before it. Samus nearly got crushed by the Omega Pirate and consumed by the Phazon it released upon death. I always saw that original animation as her just barely managing to integrate that into her suit,without being corrupted by it. That's how I felt,anyway.
My theory on the red phazon: The leviathans are meant to produce enough phazon to cover a whole planet, then release more into the galaxy. The chozo containing the leviathan and its phazon forced it to "compress" on itself, mutating the phazon into the more physically deadly red variant. In prime 3, it is revealed that phazon itself is semi sentient. I believe the phazon was empowering itself to try and break out of the cipher. Given an endless amount or room to expand, the phazon can focus on spreading instead of escape.
2:20:29 iirc there's a log in prime 3 that implies talon IV is recovering, so the pool of phazon that Dark Samus emerges from was probably just a leftover
This reminds me a lot of the Doom franchise when 2016 and onwards came out since at that point the creators put more effort into the puzzles from then on, makes me think that maybe they took some inspiration from Metroid Prime since the two games have always been pretty similar with monsters infesting a space stations and you being some bad ass hero in big ass armor to match ready to be a one person army to clear it.

One detail that confirms Ridley's brain is in there from the Visor Scan: "Cerebral casing stable." They moved his brain into the Meta body.
Good catch!

JOKES ON YOU TRAV I WAS GONNA REWATCH THIS VIDEO ANYWAYS IN AN AUTISM-FUELLED METROID HYPERFIXATION JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN AGAIN FOR LIKE THE 15TH TIME THIS YEAR
2 hours of remastered Trav content? We're eating today :D
🥰🥰🥰
Man, I was JUST about to go to sleep, but now I have to SUPPORT my favorite creator (I will watch this video 96.48 times in a row)
Thank you for your service
Patiently waiting for the Metroid Dread review
He’s alive!!! HE’S ALIVE!!!
Been wondering when you’d uploaded again lol!
(Also fun fact, the main menu and title screen takes place in the nucleus of a Metroid!)
Cool
Thank you for the remastered director's cut feature film fellow Travis
Trav does Metroid Prime. Ok, full disclosure, this is gonna be the background I fall asleep to tonight. But I'll consciously watch tomorrow.
Metaforce is new… I’ve always heard the game nintendo chose was an unnamed “action adventure game”
This is the first time ive heard of it having a name.
I believe the news was first dropped in an interview with DidYouKnowGaming
This is one of my all time comfort games. So any videos about it are automatically a comfort in and of themselves. Nice job.
Every time I sit down to watch the older Metroid Prime review, I immediately go listen to the main themes instead and then come back to watch. And I'll have to do it again for this video as well.
I love that intro animation!
Thanks! I spent way longer on it than I meant to, but I was super happy with it.
Best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten
those original metroid prime videos genuinely got me to try the games, and prime 2 is probably my favorite metroid game because of that, thanks bro

After a rough period of time this is a nice breath of fresh air. Thanks for the laughs trav :3
