Also Miles is becoming a great host! loved his thoughts on Prime! Great stuff!
Nice to see you here, Johnny!
I second that!
Johnny!! You guys have GOT to do a collab sometime!
9:28 This is when you know you’ve done a great job parenting❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! And that Nintendo Players guide is the bible! Had a religious experience with it back in the day too!
Metroid prime is a masterpiece that may never have an equal. Prime 1 and 2 literally best games I’ve ever played and had a huge impact on my childhood
I sadly could never beat the final boss for prime 2,that was a tough one but just to hard.....Have you tried prime 3 that one was good also. If not better than the first 2.
@@user-wl3ch8dm4s yeah prime 2s final boss was tricky as well as the boost guardian. I play all 3 prime games still with dolphin emulator, mouse and keyboard. A great modern way to experience the titles, and there’s HD graphics mods
THIS is legendary…
…your co-host is well spoken, Clayton! Metroid happens to be one of my all-time favorites, and this video with both of you talking about it was amazing to watch; thank you…
…AMAZING.
😊
Thank you so much for those kind words. I’ll share that with my son.
Miles is adorable. His mention about wanting to chill at the loading screen and listen to the music. Same reaction I had as a kid loading The Guardian Legend for the first time marveling at the weird but perfectly composed music for the mood of the game. Amazing how music can set the tone such that you immediately know this is going to be a dark journey.
this is the dream man 😊 sharing your hobby with your son. every man's goal is to have this kind of relationship with their kid 😊
Metroid Primes soundtrack is legendary. To this day, Prime 2's music is my favorite music in gaming. I've been a gamer since the NES/GameBoy and Sega Genesis days. We gotta be getting Prime 2 Remastered next month in the June Direct.
Definitely Super Metroid.
It's a all time classic. A must play. Don't overlook it.
I dislocated my knee real bad when I was like 12 and sat in the living room for weeks playing this Super Metroid.
@Ejohns1004 A good way heal up.
I remember that book…how nostalgic. Now details for everything is online and while that’s convenient, the lack of scarcity devalues it. And yeah, the music back then in games was very creative.
It's like seeing Clayton as a kid! Definitely yours👍. Love to see a father and son bonding over games!
Much more respect for you now Clayton.
I love Redacted and I just came across this channel! I'm a big Nintendo guy and have owned shares in the company for almost 30 years, so this is definitely cool finding out that some of my favorite YT'ers are big Nintendo fans, themselves!
Awesome kid clay, Apple never falls far from the tree! Great vid and enjoy this time together, most priceless thing in life
When my cousin and I were 14, we'd play Metroid consistently anytime we were out at our grandma's. We would take turns playing but on my turn, my cousin would draw the map out on typing paper, screen by screen. I miss those early days dearly now that I'm at the age of 51. It is cool to see you and your son playing Metroid together. He sounds like a very smart and articulate young man. Thanks for sharing this video.
Clayton Morris coolest gaming dad in the world!
I’m sure the idea was due to size constraints of the cartridge or system, but man, to utilize space like that, the backtracking and the way it never feels dull because of different abilities you acquire… the impact it’s had on games still to this day. I believe constrains with the right people breeds genuine ingenuity which still makes these games so immersive and why people will always play these games and love them.
The kid’s got great taste! Just like his pops. Great video
Great video! I love playing games my kids and being able to reflect on them with each other! Making healthy lasting memories, love to see it
So wonderful to share such a great hobby with your son 😊
Awesome video. Can't wait Metroid Prime 4 to finally drop.
Clayton passing the metroid and gaming tiki torch down to the next generation, what could be better than this. Never let the gaming itch be scratched thanks you two for keeping gaming fun alive! (Darrin from Canada). 😃
I love Metroid, such a good game! The last one Dread was amazing
Super Metroid! Absolutely my favorite Metroid experience!
My first Metroid, truly by myself, was Metroid Prime. I was in high school and the GameCube was my jam!
The Prime games are a great series but my favorite Metroid is Metroid: Fusion. The colors, sound and creepiness make it the best in the series for me
Great video. Inspiring me to introduce my own son to one of my favourite series from my youth. Definitely go with Super Metroid for your son! 🙌🏻
Can’t believe your son is only 13 years old he’s very well spoken and well thought out. Great job love the gaming videos!
It’s awesome you have that great relationship with your boy. And he seems like a genuinely great kid. I have 2 boys, 14 and 12 and we all share our love for video games. Love your content!
Wow! What a good father.
Clayton and family
Wishing you all a very happy weekend !
✨⭐🙏⭐✨
It's great that father and son can play games together. When I was his age almost no adults played games and all the kids were at the arcade playing Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
I'm a Metroid fanatic also, subscribed!
Thanks so much!
Im impressed by your son. Great duo👍
My introduction into metroid was metroid samus returns for the 3ds. I played a few years ago. Really good game
Best Metroid games though…
1. Super Metroid
2. Metroid Zero Mission
3. Metroid Fusion!
Get to em guys! We need the part two and three.
Wow, that Nintendo Players guide brings back memories! It was like a bible. The original Metroid is a masterpiece. Very challenging, so many levels to explore, enemies, power-ups. There is a lot of strategy involved in certain spots and some of the enemies can be pesky to deal with. I think I beat it like 5, or 6 times in a row and each time the protagonist, Samus loses it's armor to reveal the character more. High replay value with this one. I fired it up a couple years ago when I got the NES mini and beat it again.
Love Metroid. Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed
Man i remember cold nights in my warm blanket playing this game really early in the morning, some intense gaming before school 94'
Thank you for your videos!
What I love with Metroid or Metroid Prime games, it's that you constantly need to learn from your mistakes. You need to learn the patterns to get through it. It also teaches you to accept frustration and keep going
Hey Clayton, thanks for the video. I really enjoyed the discussion. It’s got me hyped to try out Metroid Prime again an and maybe some of the side scrollers. I started Prime twice and I couldn’t finish it because I stopped playing for too long and I was completely lost when I came back to it. I wasted hours going around the map trying to figure out what to do next and then had to move on with my life… that’s the main thing holding me back from jumping in again. Also I wanted to mention that I found your Channel a couple of months ago as a random algorithm recommendation. I also follow Redacted so I was surprised to see your face in a gaming channel but I think it’s an awesome thing you got going here and I applaud you for doing it. It looks like you were able to crack the code of the algorithm in your favor this time. 😅 Btw, your son Miles seems like a great kid. You can tell that you guys are doing a great job raising him. He’s a natural in front of the camera too! Cheers!
Nice can't wait to hear what you think of Prime. Such a classic.
Man my first metroid was dread. I loved it
Zero Mission is an excellent remake of the original Metroid for GBA. Good starting point because it’s more accessible for modern gamers than the NES original.
As a 13 year old I have been mapping out the whole thing back in the NES days. I still play the Kraid Lair theme on the Piano. Through the years I have grown in a full JRPG gamer, but Metroid has been always standing beside the JRPGs as my all time favorite. And btw, super metroid is the favorite, I definite must play.
Bonding with your kids is great to see, your son does have a good mix between you and Natalie. I play super smash bros with my kids. Punch out is my favourite Nintendo game. Get your son to play Red Alert 2. Gameplay is timeless.
12:39 - I love that rapid missile beam canceling is still in MP Remastered 😊
One of my favorite Metroid games no one usually mentions is Metroid pinball on The DS. It's super cool and very very Metroid. Every Metroid fan should definitely check it out.
Wow, never even heard of that. I need to check that out.
I recomend Miles to play Super Metroid next.
Great job bringing son in front of the camera he's natural
Super Metroid And Echoes on my top 10 favorite of all time.
Loving the content keep it coming bro
Love this video you guys talk about metroid. Pretty cool
Gahhhhhh!!! This video is sooo cool!!!!!! Keep the family gaming content coming. Normalize family gaming 😁😁😁😁
By far one of the hardest games I’ve played
I love Metroid so mutch can't wait for prime 4
Your son should play Super Metroid next. It’s the quintessential Metroid experience IMO. The controls are a bit odd (you need to configure them to something that makes more sense to you) and there are definitely mechanics that might not appeal to a younger crowd (like having to bomb everything and everywhere to find items and secrets if you’re not using a guide), but I’ve always felt it’s the definitive way to play the Zebes adventure (full disclosure I’ve never played the original Metroid to completion ...).
Keep up the great work with the channel! P.S. What did you think of the Nintendo World Championships announcement?
Metroid has become one of my favourite video game franchises, and admittedly I have only played Dread and Metroid Prime. Dread got me hooked from the beginning to -almost- end (as I haven't beat it bc the final boss is quite difficult). Prime was my first Metroid game back in 2002/2003, getting me through 5th grade haha. Just got a 3DS so I will get Samus Returns eventually. Also what attracted me was I think the fact that the protagonist was a woman and the galactic/space theme.
Great father/son video. Keep it going! :)
Super metroid was so ahead of its time when released. The music ,direction and atmospehre were pheomenal . I was a teen back then and it was close to a horror game. Also very underappreciated . I found it in a bargain bin around 94-95( not sure ) and bought it because it was the only game i could afford . It remains one of my favourite games till today
Play Metroid Zero Mission. It’s a remake of the NES maybe the kid will like it more. Great video!
I used to take the Chrono Trigger guide everywhere with me.
I honestly think I might have been around your son's age when I played Metroid Prime originally on the Gamecube. Great stuff. Glad to see these games finding young fans.
Super Metroid is my favorite in the series and is always a good place to start. If you can get access to it on the wii U perhaps or if you have a Gameboy Advance you should have Miles start with Metroid Zero Mission. And hopefully it will come to the Nintendo Online service soon.
very cool!!
Haha I wish my dad forced me to play video games 😅! I had a nes, 64, psx and loved them but the game cube is what changed my life.
Absolutely play super metroid next. All time classic!!!
All time favorite franchise ❤️ save for the newest one, Dread, due to the fact I don’t own a Switch, but I’ve played thru every single title in the series, with Super Metroid being my favorite still to this day. I beat the original with my uncle Rick when I was a kid, only fam member who would play video games with me, even wrote a (horrible lol) script for a Metroid film back when I thought I wanted to be a screenwriter 😆
Fun fact: Android Jones, an amazing graphic artist who’s work you’ve undoubtedly seen at one point or another (should def look his work up if you’re not familiar), worked at Rare back in the day and actually created all the concept artwork and contributed to character designs on the first Metroid Prime.
You guys should try Metroid randomizers, it's so fun to test your knowledge of the game.
Played Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime on GC. Great series
The freedom to choose your path and the potential to find secrets in every crevice, thats what i loved about metroid. It trained me to bomb/inspect every corner of an area for secrets, i still instinctly due this in most games today. And the intro music and norfair theme, really put you on Zebes. You guys are a great team. What an awesome son, from such an amazing dad. Excited to hear you talk about unicorn overlord.
I really enjoy watching you share memories of gaming with your son. Spending time together and bonding is important. Miles is a chip off the old block. God bless you both.
Metroid dread is incredible !
That's cool. I only have Metroid Prime for the Switch. I love Metroid Fusion from Game Boy Advance.
very cool idea for a video, would like to see more videos of this nature
Thanks so much.
wild! had no idea ou were a retro gamer Clayton! i just saw the thumbnail while scrolling and thought, was that the Redacted guy? lol
Ha yep! This is my side channel where I get to talk about games. Need to blow off steam in this crazy world.
Miles you have GOT to play Dread. And you have GOT to play Fusion. Some of the best implementations of the Metroid formula IMO, with Dread being the cream of the crop. The other games are awesome to just experience the history of how the game has grown, but those two are in my top games of all time. have fun!
I recently got into the 2 metriod games for the GBA. Metriod Fusion and Metriod Zero Mission. Absolutely loved them both. So many great choices. Haves fun and enjoy!!
How different my perspective is from your son's is amazing. He felt Samus in 2D is harder to control because you do not have control over the camera. I feel it is the oposite way precisely because you don't have to control the camera.
You're moving? I thought you just set up your man cave
EDIT: Super Metroid is the ultimate Metroid game for sure. Also, it is the third game (Metroid 2 on Gameboy is the prequel to Super Metroid)
Yes I am!
Oh wow you are from PA too?! Well technically I’m not from there but I lived there for a year when my dad worked there. As a Dutch kid I’m used to sticky humid summers. But PA is a whole different ball game for sure. So warm! And the winter to 83-84 was so cold! I believe it was the biggest blizzard that had hit PA since recorded history. Harrisburg PA, where the worst tasting chocolate in the western world is made 😂never liked Hershey’s tasted so “chemical” compared to Dutch and especially Swiss and Austrian chocolate to me.
omega pirate is insanely difficult, on the hardest level is nearly impossible; The summoned pirates are ten times more aggressive and hit like mini tanks, while omega recovers a lot quicker and acquires more damage to defeat him and causes a lot more damage as well....Actually on the hardest level every enemy hits ten times harder w/ increased aggression, having to be more methodical about my fight strategy; Omega is the hardest boss in the game besides ridley.
Ya...go with Super Metroid! Maybe the best game on the SNES. :)
That's debatable
As I'm also a Metroid fan i would say if you wanted to play the 2-D games in order i would recommend 1st playing Metroid Zero missions before playing Super Metroid especially if you are going to skip the original Metroid on the NES system. Then 2nd play Samus returns on 3DS and then 3rd play Super Metroid and then 4th play Metroid Fusion and then 5th play Metroid Dread. Metroid other M on Wii takes place in between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. As far as the 2-D timeline goes. Thanks again for the fun Metroid video!
Super Metroid after Fusion
The only Metroid game I ever play was Super Metroid on the super Nintendo mini. I understand why its master class of the genre.
I LOVE Metroid!! From Metroid to Metroid Dread, the whole franchise is incredible, and some of the best games ever made. I was 7 when the original Metroid came out and used to play it at my friend's house before getting it myself. The "chorus" of the intro to the original Metroid is still my ringtone! I remember the first time I found out that Samus was a woman--back then, it was wild. :)
Start with Zero Mission THEN go to Super Metroid.
As much as I personally love SM and it is my favourite of the series, Samus can apparently feel very clunky to control for many modern gamers
There you guys are! I was wondering what happed to Our Joy of Gaming.
So this is the gaming channel now?
Well for now I think we’re going to publish on both channels. But with school and after school sports it’s been tough getting stuff pinned down.
All good bud, I got kiddos as well and things can certainly get busy! We enjoy the content very much and appreciate you keeping it family friendly.
Super Metroid next
should make the video landscape
GenX teaching GenZ about gaming history ❤
And when your dad makes you suffer through Metroid on the NES, gimme a heads up I’ll hack the game for you look I do often on this channel where I crack old games.
Also, my favourite Metroid game is Dread. I love Super as well but he should play Dread.
Yup he needs to play super Metroid!!!
Metroid Dred was made is Spain 🇪🇸, you are in Portugal? 👍 You seem like a cool dad, your boy is lucky 😊
Super Metroid is epic.
4:55 Often the first bosses of the game. Like Dark Souls 3 title screen.
❤ SAMUS! OG Metriod was tuff as a kid and very confusing. You had to make maps with keys just to remember where you had been 😂. I've played them all and beat them with there various endings except for Other M. My fave Metriod is Prime without a doubt, the soundtracks are awsome and it was the first FPS in the Series and it still bangs today. I'm still playing Dread here and there but its not as bad ass as the Prime Series. ❤SAMUS ROCKS❤
Super metroid metroid Prime Castlevania Symphony of the Night best games of all time
Kids always have the same reaction to older games...
he could play the remake of the first game metroid zero mission. should be a lot easier to approach than the original.
super would also be a great choice.
Clayton, I have an idea of what Nintendo may be doing with switch 2 innovations. Would like your take? If the magnetically attacked joycons are real?, coupled with no ventilation in hand held mode as hinted by moore’s law is dead? Then Nintendo could imbed dual air intakes on sides of console where the new joycons connect hiding unsightly air intakes. And if they are remaking ocarina of time in 4k?, I imagine they will make it a two player game with link and Zelda playing in unison. Now imagine an open chamber on bottom portion of both joycons where the ir sensor was placed on right jouycon on original switch. If they have either heat sensor or new ir sensor within joycon cavity that can track flow and speed of air?, they could turn both joycons into digital wind instruments like an ocarina in order that two players could play duets to unlock puzzles in game together.? The possibility of a new back button would make this more feasible making it feel like an ocarina while tapping face buttons. This design would also work for ventilation when docked as it would allow for two tracks of air aiding in greater cooling towards large fan imbedded in dock. Not to mention it ascribed to overall design concept of switch. Male, female yin and Yang.
