    Just to clarify since I have been receiving a lot of comments lately.
    Metroid Zero Mission is a remake/reimagining of the original NES Metroid, therefore its at the beginning of the timeline.

    If you wanted a purpose to Metroid the other M, it would be to further explore Samus’s connection to the Galactic Federation, their corruption, and her relationship with Adam. During the Prime series, you work for, and with, a seemingly good Galactic Federation. We get to fight among them and scan the audio logs of the dead troopers, solidifying your connection to them. However, Other M sets up our suspicion of the Galactic Federation, showing us that there might be top down corruption from the inside. Everything from the rouge assassin killing off the team one by one, to the use of your suit to creat a new Metroid, helps set the seed of distrust in the back of our head. Going into Metroid Fusion after Other M makes the game feel even more ominous than it already did. At least in my hyped opinion. 👍

    Like I said in a different video, I believe that Metroid Prime Hunters takes place between Metroid Prime 1 and 2 because she uses the ship in Metroid Prime in Prime Hunters, and in Prime 2 she is using a different ship. Still a good video besides that though.

    • @Videogamer9201
      @Videogamer9201 7 років тому +3

      The Orpheon That is true, but some of the designs could have changed before Prime 2 and before Samus changed her ship. It is also possible that she keeps some of her old ships at her home, since the Prime 2 ship (Which I call ol' reliable) is the same one as 2, Super, Other M, and beginning of Fusion. She may switch out ships depending on the situation.

    • @Videogamer9201
      @Videogamer9201 7 років тому

      I would also like to note that her only ship that appeared in a game that was destroyed was Zero Mission's before that point. (Which I call Space Hunter in reference to the Metroid NES manual and the original title for Metroid) It was sad to see that ol' reliable was destroyed.

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 років тому +1

      Videogamer9201 I was about to mention that! For me it could have been that post echoes Samus returns to her Prime 1 ship while 'Old-Reliable' is fixed or she is getting the one from Prime 3
      So it could perhaps take place between 2 and 3 as well

      The Orpheon a wait I found something in Prime 2 Echoes Echoes
      Look at this scan
      Logbook/Lore/Trooper Logs/Force One/PFC I. Crany
      This shows Super Metroid is before Echoes
      It in a Federation Marines log about Samus blowing up the planet Zebes....
      That didn't happen until Super Metroid...
      In Metroid NES/Zero Mission only the base was blown up....
      The scans make the timeline so hard to figure out...
      So does that scan mean the it is
      Metroid NES
      Metroid Prime (Zebes is still a planet and scans in panora drifts say that the base is being built back after Samus destroyed it the first time... And also we find that meta ridley was ridley from before but with mechanical upgrades, it said the process was very painful, I think that was in the phazon mines)
      Then metroid II return of Samus (the baby Metroid)
      The Super Metroid (the events with the baby)
      Then other M (the baby Metroid and just after Super Metroid)
      Then Metroid Prime 2 Echoes (the proof is in that scan
      Search the logbook for: Logbook/Lore/Trooper Logs/Force One/PFC I. Crany)
      Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (the events with Dark Samus)
      Then Metroid Fusion
      Also I don't have any of the spin off games (Prime Hunters, Federation Force, Pinball)

    • @ryanretrogamer7
      @ryanretrogamer7 7 років тому +1

      Here is the scan:
      "Last night at chow, Angseth starts talking about some bounty hunter and how she blew up a planet full of Space Pirates. I told her I didn't believe in fairy tales like that, and she took it personal. I just find it hard to believe that one person took out an entire Space Pirate base, that's all. But if she wants to believe in this Samus, or Bigfoot, or Santa Claus, she can."
      Location in log book:
      Logbook/Lore/Trooper Logs/Force One/PFC I. Crany
      Notice it says:
      "-some bounty hunter and how she blew up a planet full of Space Pirates."

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 років тому +4

      That is a very interesting discovery! but the scan itself, seems a bit contradictory.
      It first says : "-some bounty hunter and how she blew up a planet full of Space Pirates."
      But later it states: "-I just find it hard to believe that one person took out an entire Space Pirate base, that's all"
      So it could perhaps be interpreted either way, maybe the planet was an exaggeration of the story (it feels like the Feds has some camp fire stories) to make Samus sound all the more treating amongst their members
      We also have to think that its never clear if the logs exclusively focus on lore from previous games (even though it seems very likely)

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 років тому +1

      My reasoning for why the Prime Trilogy occurs one after the other was that, from a logical stand point (of sorts) With Mother Brain gone the pirates couldn't control the Metroids to hold the universe hostage, and so they (or another of their factions) set focus on harnessing Phazon to be used as weapons.
      Their research on Orpheon (the station) Phazon Mines and their labs in Aether where all tests until they created the PED technology (with help of Dark Samus) by the time they were ready to set a war with the Federation in MP3.
      Once Samus destroys Phaze, the Pirates are forced (in a way) into retreat/hiding, and thus the Feds changed their efforts into destroying the Metroid to avoid the Pirates from finding another way to use them.
      While all this happened, they were forced back into their main plan and hide to rebuilding Tourain and Mother Brain, perhaps during the events of Metroid 2 or the Prime Trilogy.
      But as many other things, its simply a theory.

    I have a theory.
    I think they’re trying to connect Prime 3, Federation Force (whether you like it or not) and Samus Returns with Prime 4. Makes sense, since at the end of both Prime 3 AND Federation Force there’s an easter egg about Sylux. It’d be a perfect connection, that then continues to Samus Returns and so on.

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  6 років тому +1

      I have reasons to believe that Prime 4 might not be connected (directly) with Samus Returns not because of timeline issues, but because of separate Producers being in-charge of each game, and each wanting to develop their own stories (Sakamoto being the classic games, Tanabe being the Prime saga)

    I would love a new Metroid game where they take the baby Metriod DNA from Samus's body and create a clone, but that clone also has partial DNA to Samus and her suits ability to absorb power and they create a bond like a cub to an alpha mother. Then they go on mission together fighting space pirates on a planet that used a corrupted version of Metriod DNA to power everything, meaning Samus needs her little Metriod to unlock doors, vents, etc to get through the labyrinth to fight Mother Brain that is infused with corrupted Metriod DNA meaning her attacks suck the life force and give it back to her making this version the most powerful of all the enemies Samus has ever faced. Her Metroid cub can also absorb the power of fallen enemies to give it to itself and Samus their energy and special abilities. What do you think?

    • @TheOrpheon
      @TheOrpheon  7 років тому +13

      I'm sorry if I upset you with my comment (it was not my intention) what I wanted to say is that the events in Other M don't take much of a toll on anything in the overall timeline (its a self contained story except for Adam)But even then, if Samus actions aren't has 'key' compared to other games, she doesn't manage to kill Ridley or deal the final blow on M.B. She doesn't destroy the Metroids on Sector 0 or catch the Deleter or stand up the Federation at the end and to state her ground. I felt has her role was more passive, like clearing a path for the Platoon 7 and running a wild goose chase aboard the Botttleship.

When I saw this, I took just took it as "oh, just more needless Other M hate trying to put down the game's story as meaningless." I think it's rather ignorant to say "oh, that wasn't my intention." Like either you are lying or are being massively ignorant to say "oh I don't know how people would have interpreted this snide comment as hate to a game that already gets a lot of hate."

    Isn't it reasonably well established that Hunters is inbetween Prime and Echoes? It's where most timelines I've seen place it, and Samus has her old gunship from Prime 1 rather than the version from Prime 2.

    This totally doesn't matter at all because Prime Hunters isn't involved in any main storyline, but I do feel it's my duty as a metroid fan to say Hunters takes place between Prime 1 and 2, not 2 and 3. That changes everything, I know!
    (For proof, it's stated in an interview with the developers on Nintendo World Report- "the ship that you see in the game is the ship from Metroid Prime, whereas the suit Samus is wearing is the suit from Metroid Prime 2. So, where the character is, in terms of development, fits somewhere between the two")

But if she wants to believe in this Samus, or Bigfoot or Santa Claus, she can" *well, looks like the team were too busy to reference all the games that some things contradicted each other.

  • @MythChains
    @MythChains 5 років тому

    I'm still hoping that Other M would be some sort of federation experiment to create "another Samus". Like clones, recreating a past event etc. Compare to Metal Gear Solid and how Raiden was meant to be the new Snake by reliving his missions.
    Since Other M makes so much more sense being a prequel rather than a sequel (Ridley trauma, Adam needing to go kill metroids, so much focus on the past and cloning,)

    • @evanbao93
      @evanbao93 3 роки тому

      No. That would be cheap and lazy. If you want to be a great writer, you recontextualize the events of Other M into something of a character development for Samus. Like how the death of the baby Metroid threw Samus into such a period of self-doubt that she starts following Adam's order to the letter just to prove she get the mission done without disobeying her superiors. And then have her reflect on the events as the lowest point of her life that gave her resolve to never falter again in spite of the tragedy thrown at her time and time again.
