The fact that Ridley is incredibly smart as shown in the manga and can talk honestly makes him way more terrifying. Would have been cool to have that in a game in my book.
Imagine Ridley comes back as this gigantic dragon that just stalks around and sizes up Samus, all while giving the most devastating and terrifying villain speech and talking for the first time in the games, only to be promptly blown up for the dozenth time
What would be funnier is if Ridley was not just intelligent but 200 IQ, just imagine a 30 foot giant pterodactyl thing that just starts saying “Hello my good sir my name is Ridley Wraith Ridlingham I do inquire what are you up to in the location of planet we call Zebes? “
I guess the cloning process is, indeed, just cloning. As such, all the Ridleys we fight are, to put simply, babies. Possibly more advanced mentally than a real baby with the help of some accelerated mental development tools during the clone accelerated growth, but still far from a naturally developed mind. It make sense that Ridley is a raging beast during games.
6:57 I find it important to note that Samus' suit is NOT fused with her body, she just couldn't take it off while unconscious, which led the doctors to remove parts of it leaving her with the fusion suit. The fusing with her body thing seems to be a translation issue, because it's literally not mentioned in the original japanese version (nor in the german localisation for that matter). This is also proven by her literally being a normal looking human in both the death animation in Fusion and Dread, as well as the ending screen, where she is wearing the crop top and shorts.
yeah i think its more of a self defence feature that the doctors had to forcibly bypass to save her which in turn destroyed large chunck of her suit. since the suit itself is partially biomatter it was healing itself in fusion giving it that pulsating texture, then in dread it was mostly healed by then looking more like exposed muscel fibre
It's not fused to her, but it is linked to her dna. Which is why the X parasite was able to regrow the missing parts and replicate the suit. Also, I think it's possible that, when powered on, the suit does fuse with her body in some way, given the Morphball exists.
There is an ending in Fusion that shows her with some weird growths on her arms. Not sure if it was part of her Zero suit but i think there were implied mutations from the Metroid DNA. Amazing game!
Not gonna lie, I fully believed as a kid on my initial playthrough that her suit had actually fused with her body as a result of the X infection and was under the impression she was irreversely scarred under the suit. Kind of like Deadpool.

5:46 I think I think I remember the game mentioning that MB wasn't a clone. Also, I think her caring for the Metroids wasn't the reason she went rogue, it was mostly the fact she was going to be re-programmed against her will.
Yeah in the game it was explained that she's an android and needed a physical form so the metroid can form a bond with her, which wouldn't be possible with just an Ai-program. Atleast that's how I remembered that burning rollercoaster of a game

@@Kakteenkuschler MB wasnt a clone but Mother Brains brainwave patterns were copied and imprinted onto MB. In order to control their Metroid Army they needed Mother Brain's telepathy (Mother Brain's telepathy allowed her to control others including Metroids and she was shown to be the only one that was able to control them) but even they knew straight up cloning Mother Brain would be dumb. So they made an Android and imprinted her with Mother Brains brainwave patterns.
Yes she started becoming more human and began caring about the Metroids and started speaking out against the scientists. The Scientists instead of acknowledging her as an individual decided nah we gotta stop that free thinking stuff and tried to reprogram her which set off the whole situation.
Melissa (the name she preferred) would have been a healthy individual if the scientists in charge of her had simply allowed her to be an individual. But allowing Melissa to be an individual involved ceding their control over her, and they couldn't do that with a creature as powerful as Melissa.
The suit did not fuse with her body, she was just unconscious while it was bound to her (she can summon the suit at will, and it binds to her body while active), that's why parts had to be removed. we know this because when she dies, the suit disappears entirely, and she has her zero suit in Dread.

A few games I'd like to see possibly explained: - Xenosaga - Chrono Trigger - Earthbound (EDIT: forgot he already did this one) - MapleStory - Xenoblade X/2/3 - Sonic
The Sylux hype is to prepare for Metroid Prime 4, which revealed that he'll be the big bad of that game. He's been lurking Samus after Prime Hunters as one of the endings of Prime 3 shows Sylux's ship (and recently in Federation Force, looking at the Metroid). Also, you forgot to mention that Raven Beak is also Samus' surrogate father by donating his DNA to infuse, and also he massacred the Thoha Chozos in SR388 prior to the events of Metroid 1, which he indirectly responsible for all of this Metroid and X Parasites mess in the first place, which gave attention to the Federation and the Space Pirates. Nice video. I'd like to see a Xenoblade X lore or the entirety of Fire Emblem (if you can't, just Shadow Dragon aka FE1)
A wonderful animation style and great summary of one of Nintendo's longest lasting (and coolest) franchises. Yeah, Samus is a walking Bio-Hazard, Ridley never dies and Metroid Prime 4 is probably coming out... someday
Find it funny that after multiple games of being a cyborg Ridley finally decided it wasn't working and to go all natural again in Super Metroid and then actually died for real Bonus points: Every subsequent organic copy also dies for real. Meta Ridley showed up 3 times (once as Omega Ridley) and got 1 more in as Proteus Ridley. Those cybernetics put in work
IIRC his regeneration is brought up in the manga, where the explosion Samus's parents caused fucked him up and he had to regenerate his biomass by eating the dead humans, including Samus's parents, which he taunts her about.

It's really nice seeing your art style evolve from the FF9 Video and Mother series exploration (some of my favorites videos btw) and it's really cool seeing you post, as you're one of my favorite UA-camrs. If you could, it'd be nice if you could cover the The World Ends With You series. It's such a great series and with your humor and way you draw, I feel like it'd be a great pick.
@@setster007 I have heard exactly 1 person IRL pronounce it "tweh wee." Everyone else I've ever talked to just says the full mouthful of a game title aloud because it's easier than trying to figure out how to pronounce the acronym. 😆
I only ever saw Metroid games at a friend's house way back when. I kept thinking, "Did they NOT not destroy Ripley, then?" I thought I was missing big chunks of the story in between our hangouts, but no, the stories really are just like that. Another great video, another great art evolution. You're always improving, man. Here's some games I would love to see you do a video on (and see how you handle the art styles!): - Zero Escape series - Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney - Rune Factory - The World Ends with You - Danganronpa (good luck trying to piece together the story, the spinoffs just confused me) I will say I kinda *don't* want you to do Kingdom Hearts because it's been done a million times. That's just me, though!
Thank you!! I like to think my channel doubles as a realistic timeline of how long it takes to get better at art. So many art 'tutorials' are about getting good at art in weeks for month when for me, and probably most people, it takes years of gradually and slowly getting better. Wishing you luck on your art journey as well!
Good video, although I feel like you should've included the fact that Raven Beak gave some of his DNA to Samus which means that Samus has DNA from two different races of Chozo
Samus' DNA is what happens when you don't know how to build a character in an evolution game so you just set everything to max and watch your abomination of a species take over the ecosystem
One thing is that Samus's suit wasnt fused by the X. It is part of her body all the time, it therefore cant be normally removed while shes unconscious.
Metroid fusion shows them creating hybrids, as shown by the fish/space pirate fusions that appear in the aquatic sector of the B.S.L. station. Furthermore, free floating X can transform into other enemy variants over time if left unattended.
What a beautiful drawings I love seeing samus a little adorable And I was a little confused seeing the Metroid returns game case before talking about Metroid fusion for the explanation I think i didn't play returns too much...
In other m, Samus is not only depressed because of the baby metroid's sacrifice, she's also depressed that the planet she grew up on no longer exists, thanks to Mother Brain. And when you're really stop to think about it, that is a whole shitload of family to lose. Ridley killed her parents right in front of her face, and the Chozo that adopted her got wiped out as well! At this point in time, she's pretty much all she's got!
As someone who tangentially knows the series through friends, content creators and long running jokes, this really cleared up everything in one simple video.
Next topic you should do is final fantasy tactics. That story has a lot of interesting back and forth between the cast church and groups. The backstory alone is bery interesting to see how things ended up that way.
Honestly I would love to see you do an "Explained" video for the games in the 'Marth' Fire Emblem timeline. Like Shadow Dragon, Echoes, and Awakening. A timeline of the Sonic series, or just the classic games, would also be fun to watch. Castlevania could be useful, since I don't think many people will have played that series fully. And finally, I would LOVE to see your take on the Persona or Kingdom Hearts series. You're really good at explaining things, and I think you could do those franchises justice
This is very well done. I'm a major fan of the Metroid series and have played every game... starting with the first on the NES... when it came out (yes, I'm an old man). I have to say this is the best Cliff's Notes version of the story of the entire series I have ever seen. If I ever hear of anyone who wants to get into Metroid, but wants to start with a later title like Dread... I'll try to keep this video in mind so they have an idea of the background story.

Funny how even in that game she had to save their asses, despite being captured first. The Federation can't to anything without Samus, yet they constantly antagonize her and make her job harder.
In the original script, the ones making the bioweapons were a splinter faction of the federation, not the federation as a whole like in the localization.
4:35 excellent video and great drawings! They truly capture the character of the Metroid designs in a lovely way, as a long time Metroid fan I'm happy to see the series reach this wonderful channel of yours. Although I'm afraid your depiction of the Metroid's evolution here doesn't seem to be too accurate as the final stage here looks more like Arachnus [which isn't of the Metroid species] than any of the later stages of the Metroid evolution. The only two bipedal Metroids are Zetas and Omegas and neither resemble this little fella.
When you led off with three factions to be aware of, for some reason, my immediate thought was, those that think only the 2D games are canon, those that think all the games are canon, and those that think that Prime isn't canon but Other M is.
Some games/series I think would be interesting for you to cover: - Chrono Trigger (you decide if you wanna go full Cross or not) - Star Fox (another Nintendo series, just say you dunno where it'll go next) - Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (a very underrated and rare DS game, it's best to play it via an emulator, has a LOT of interesting story stuff to talk about that you will definitely not be expecting, the RPG Monger did a video on it last year) - Asura's Wrath (another CC2 game, may be fun) - The World Ends With You (very much up your alley) - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (see if ya like it)
Usually when games cook for a long time, they don't end up being terrible, not saying I want to wait a decade for a game, or that every game that takes a long time is guaranteed to be good, but I think the fact Prime 4 is taking a while is a good sign for it.
now that the prime 4 trailer dropped: "and then samus goes to another federation research facility and fights pirates, and sylux with some mochtroids are there. and surely some more things will happen."
A few series suggestions that I hope you may cover some time soon: -Tales Of Series (Starting with Phantasia/Symphonia) -Star Ocean (It has connections to the Tales series for various reasons/Cover The Second Story first as it IS the best Star Ocean entry) -Valkyrie Profile -Hyperdimension Neptunia -Grandia 1 (Dreamcast/PS1 RPG) -Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast/Gamecube RPG) -Golden Sun -Arc Rise Fantasia (A very underrated Wii RPG and a great one; just bear through the voice acting if you do this one) -Magical Vacation/Starsign (Another very underrated GBA/DS game) -Touhou (Whichever one you want to start with) -Rayman -Shantae -Xenogears (The game that started the whole Xeno series) -Baiten Kaitos (Also made by Monolith) -Ys (Similar to Zelda, but massively different) -Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel -Legend of Legaia (Underrated PS1 RPG) -Legend of Dragoon (One of the Best PS1 RPGs) -Danganronpa (This one will take you for a ride) -Nier Automata -Devil May Cry -Metal Gear Rising: Vengeance (Making the mother of all omelets here, Chase! Can't fret over ever egg!) -Bomberman -Mystical Ninja Goemon -Castlevania -Kingdom Hearts -The World Ends With You -The Denpa Men Sorry for the long list, but I hope you consider some of them!
I've played about 3/4ths of the FEs but Ive never looked real into how they connect to eachother besides the obvious Fe7-6 ones. That could make a good video i'll keep that in mind
Metal gear solid lore , mostly because you have a nice talent of summarizing the most convoluted games (final fantasy, this one(Metroid) Kirby.) into 10-20 minute videos. Either way , good job chase
Metroid Prime didn't really take Samus' Phazon suit, it ripped the Phazon corruption out of her suit as a means to survive, in doing so, it took her suit's blue prints along with parts of Samus' DNA to birth Dark Samus, who is surprisingly resistant and regenerative.
1. The original Ridley actually died in Super, right? Other M had a clone (?) who for some reason was just as pissed as the original and Fusion had just an X copy created from the corpse. 2. You never mentioned Adam's brain being copied into the Federation computer system, which is kind of an important plot point for Fusion and Dread.
The animation is so funny and so cute! I love Metroid and is a childhood favorite. My initials being ZDR same as the planet in Metroid Dread is icing on the cake for me. I can’t believe how little I of the lore I knew of this franchise. Dark Samus being a metroid makes so much sense! I was always confused about what dark samus was
With Nintendo having released LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom, I wonder if they will make a Metroid game where, instead of Samus kicking ass in her usual Power Suit, she kicks ass in her Zero Suit, and not have it be like Metroid Zero Mission where you have to run and hide from the Space Pirates. I know we all wished for it at some point: getting to run around in third person view while solving puzzles and destroying aliens left and right with Samus out of her Power Armor.
I actually never played Banjo-Kazooie (except for a little of Nuts & Bolts), but it would be cool to see the series in one of your videos. It doesn't have that many games or convoluted plotlines and i think it deserves some recognition.
I liked the nuances in fusion the most. The first metroid game (i played) where samus spoke and actually had opinions about things. Not to mention how the X was able to multiply so there were multiple SA-X onboard. And then the SA-X sacrifice for samus which doesnt make sense to this day but whatever. Also the canonizations of the eticoons and dracoras
Rejoice Metroid prime 4 official trailer is here!. Also I didn't know fusion was so far in the timeline. I just played it as a kid and loved it. Time to revisit.
the infection did not cause her suit to fuse with her body. It is mystically linked to her, and thus has no natural openings like a normal suit of armour since she can summon and relinquish it at will as seen in zero mission.
Just because people are liking this and I want to spread correct information, samus gets infected during the intro sequence to fusion, and fusion comes much later than zero mission, since zero mission is a remake of metroid 1, so this is outright misinformation.
I think you miss read the comment, I think he is correcting the video at 7:00 where he says "the X parasite's infection caused her suit to be fused to her body." thelizard was just pointing out that the suit was always part of her, as metroid fusion says something like "the suit couldn't be removed while I was unconscious" not anything about the parasite keeping it on her@@foximus5231
One thing you forgot to mention is that samus is also part warrior chozo dna (from raven beak) so her dna is basically just a rainbow colored ball of yarn at this point
6:22 The game with teh X Parasites was Metroid Fusion on the GBA, not Metroid Samus Returns. That game is a remake of Metroid 2 on the Gameboy with the same title of Samus Returns.
Would love to see the Mary Skelter series covered. The first of the series had some issues, but the latter games ended up becoming some of my favourite dungeon crawlers.
Fun Fact: Other M has a PEGI 16 rating in Europe, making it the only Nintendo game to ever have it. And mind you, PEGI 16 is equivalent to M in the ESRB used in the US.
A big plothole is opened due to Fusion's localization translation. In the original script, the ones making the bioweapons and cloned metroids were, in fact, a splintered group of the Galactic Federation, and not the Federation as a whole. But in English, it was implied that the whole Federation was making the bioweapons, which makes the opening of Dread extremely confusing as she still does bounty work for the G.F.
Man, have i been waiting for this video. I love your content, and finally seeing a video on what is basically my favourite game series ever is amazing. The style is great as always, and the fact that you always add little bits of humor instead of just explaining what goes down while also keeping them relatively short always makes your videos uniquely enjoyable. This is great, have a good day Chase

I thought she was 7'4

Nah, you’re probably thinking of Bayonetta (she’s like 8 ft tall iirc).

Actually, he’s more like 6’7”. Master Chief, on the other hand, is 7’2”.
From what sources I could find it says she's 198 lbs without her suit, but I find it a little hard to believe her suit only weighs 2 lbs.

Samus:AHHHHH(Starts shooting)
I’m her defence, she’s been on way to many planets where 90% of the things on it want her dead while the rest of the 10% are either plants or dead
Planet: SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATED
ridley: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMUS!!!
The chozo ghosts are menaces. I can’t just super missile them I actually have to play the game which sucks.
Except when it's a baby metroid
Thank you for vaguely explaining who Sylux is, now I know who the random guy in the end of the Metroid Prime 4 trailer is
Was going to say, And now Sylux is the new bad guy and has metroids (which is also shown as a bonus scene in one of the games I think).
@@DemLep He has no Metroids but Mochtroids. This means Prime 4 must take place after "Samus Returns" or later.
@@alfwinch24 At the end of Federation Force you see Sylux break into a federation base and get the babies. So it is after that. A lot of people put with all the Prime games before Samus Returns, but it could be after it as well.
5:46 I think I think I remember the game mentioning that MB wasn't a clone. Also, I think her caring for the Metroids wasn't the reason she went rogue, it was mostly the fact she was going to be re-programmed against her will.
Yeah in the game it was explained that she's an android and needed a physical form so the metroid can form a bond with her, which wouldn't be possible with just an Ai-program. Atleast that's how I remembered that burning rollercoaster of a game

@@Kakteenkuschler MB wasnt a clone but Mother Brains brainwave patterns were copied and imprinted onto MB. In order to control their Metroid Army they needed Mother Brain's telepathy (Mother Brain's telepathy allowed her to control others including Metroids and she was shown to be the only one that was able to control them) but even they knew straight up cloning Mother Brain would be dumb. So they made an Android and imprinted her with Mother Brains brainwave patterns.
Yes she started becoming more human and began caring about the Metroids and started speaking out against the scientists. The Scientists instead of acknowledging her as an individual decided nah we gotta stop that free thinking stuff and tried to reprogram her which set off the whole situation.
Melissa (the name she preferred) would have been a healthy individual if the scientists in charge of her had simply allowed her to be an individual. But allowing Melissa to be an individual involved ceding their control over her, and they couldn't do that with a creature as powerful as Melissa.
The suit did not fuse with her body, she was just unconscious while it was bound to her (she can summon the suit at will, and it binds to her body while active), that's why parts had to be removed. we know this because when she dies, the suit disappears entirely, and she has her zero suit in Dread.
She looked conscious in the images where she was given a vaccine and having her suit removed which I don't think what happened.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 what do you mean "she looked conscious??" she was on an operating table and it was literally stated in the game that she wasn't conscious.
@@DestroyerApollyon I was talking about the video shown here.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 that's clearly meant to be artistic and is not relevant to any of my points, as I'm talking about the game in relation to the misinformation provided in the video.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 In "the video shown here," they *_also_* depicted her with two hands at 4:05 and 7:57 (even though the suit does NOT have a right glove- just a cannon,) and showed her gun on the wrong arm at 2:01, 2:03, 2:07, 2:30, 4:10, 4:39, 7:08, and 7:49 (again, the RIGHT arm of the suit is a cannon. Yes, I'm aware half of those timestamps are reuses of the same image).
*I think it's safe to say they took artistic liberties instead of going for accuracy.* I'm not complaining about it though- I feel nitpicky even recording the timestamps. 😣
A few games I'd like to see possibly explained:
- Xenosaga
- Chrono Trigger
- Earthbound (EDIT: forgot he already did this one)
- MapleStory
- Xenoblade X/2/3
- Sonic
Good recommendations! The only one I've covered here so far is Earthbound in a Mother Series video i put out a couple years ago
I played the Xenosaga series. It ain't good. Interesting maybe, but not good.
@@GavinDoolittlexenosaga 1 is okay, 2 is pretty bad, but 3 is peak
@@ChaseKip If you do Chrono Trigger, you gotta put Chrono Cross in there too.
DO XENIBLADE 2 PLEASE
The Sylux hype is to prepare for Metroid Prime 4, which revealed that he'll be the big bad of that game. He's been lurking Samus after Prime Hunters as one of the endings of Prime 3 shows Sylux's ship (and recently in Federation Force, looking at the Metroid).
Also, you forgot to mention that Raven Beak is also Samus' surrogate father by donating his DNA to infuse, and also he massacred the Thoha Chozos in SR388 prior to the events of Metroid 1, which he indirectly responsible for all of this Metroid and X Parasites mess in the first place, which gave attention to the Federation and the Space Pirates.
Nice video. I'd like to see a Xenoblade X lore or the entirety of Fire Emblem (if you can't, just Shadow Dragon aka FE1)
A wonderful animation style and great summary of one of Nintendo's longest lasting (and coolest) franchises.
Yeah, Samus is a walking Bio-Hazard, Ridley never dies and Metroid Prime 4 is probably coming out... someday
All true. unfortunately the last part too...
We've been waiting for 7 years, we can do another! Right?
Right?
Could you say Ridley “always comes back”
@@Sir_this_is_a_wendys-h4l He's purple too
@@bredoffender 10 years between Prime 3's release and Prime 4's announcement trailer, 7 years between Prime 4's announcement trailer and now.
If only you had waited just a few more months for Prime 4....
Find it funny that after multiple games of being a cyborg Ridley finally decided it wasn't working and to go all natural again in Super Metroid and then actually died for real
Bonus points: Every subsequent organic copy also dies for real. Meta Ridley showed up 3 times (once as Omega Ridley) and got 1 more in as Proteus Ridley. Those cybernetics put in work
I think he can regenerate and shed off his robotic parts.
IIRC his regeneration is brought up in the manga, where the explosion Samus's parents caused fucked him up and he had to regenerate his biomass by eating the dead humans, including Samus's parents, which he taunts her about.

I love the way they drew Samus, She is SO CUTE!
It's really nice seeing your art style evolve from the FF9 Video and Mother series exploration (some of my favorites videos btw) and it's really cool seeing you post, as you're one of my favorite UA-camrs. If you could, it'd be nice if you could cover the The World Ends With You series. It's such a great series and with your humor and way you draw, I feel like it'd be a great pick.
Thanks so much!! I have a friend thats obsessed with TWEWY so I know how much of a beloved series it is. I'll def keep that in mind
@@ChaseKip As someone unfamiliar with the series, I'm just laughing about how one would pronounce "twewy".
@@setster007 I don't even try, I just say 'the why' 😂
@@Dadan-dan That's even better than twewy somehow
@@setster007 I have heard exactly 1 person IRL pronounce it "tweh wee." Everyone else I've ever talked to just says the full mouthful of a game title aloud because it's easier than trying to figure out how to pronounce the acronym. 😆
I only ever saw Metroid games at a friend's house way back when. I kept thinking, "Did they NOT not destroy Ripley, then?" I thought I was missing big chunks of the story in between our hangouts, but no, the stories really are just like that. Another great video, another great art evolution. You're always improving, man.
Here's some games I would love to see you do a video on (and see how you handle the art styles!):
- Zero Escape series
- Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney
- Rune Factory
- The World Ends with You
- Danganronpa (good luck trying to piece together the story, the spinoffs just confused me)
I will say I kinda *don't* want you to do Kingdom Hearts because it's been done a million times. That's just me, though!
So glad you're back Chase, your content is very funny and hits all the nostolgia buttons. Keep up the good work brotha!
Thanks!
I have now realised this entire channel is just for Kip to flex his art progress. You are insanely inspiring for me to get better myself
Thank you!! I like to think my channel doubles as a realistic timeline of how long it takes to get better at art. So many art 'tutorials' are about getting good at art in weeks for month when for me, and probably most people, it takes years of gradually and slowly getting better. Wishing you luck on your art journey as well!
Good video, although I feel like you should've included the fact that Raven Beak gave some of his DNA to Samus which means that Samus has DNA from two different races of Chozo
Samus' DNA is what happens when you don't know how to build a character in an evolution game so you just set everything to max and watch your abomination of a species take over the ecosystem
Tribes, not races. Otherwise spot on.
What’s crazy is the thing they were cooking up for sylux 9:53 was Metroid prime 4
I was just about to leave a comment saying Sylux’s ship was the last thing seen in the Ending of Metroid Prime 3, giving chase to Samus
One thing is that Samus's suit wasnt fused by the X. It is part of her body all the time, it therefore cant be normally removed while shes unconscious.
I don’t remember the X being able to transform their host into any monster. More like making a more monstrous version of whatever they take over.
Metroid fusion shows them creating hybrids, as shown by the fish/space pirate fusions that appear in the aquatic sector of the B.S.L. station. Furthermore, free floating X can transform into other enemy variants over time if left unattended.
What a beautiful drawings
I love seeing samus a little adorable
And I was a little confused seeing the Metroid returns game case before talking about Metroid fusion for the explanation
I think i didn't play returns too much...
Honestly this video made me realize why Metroid fans love the series so much it seems awesome. I might download Dread on my switch now
Good luck
You won't regret it :)
It is a great game. Very fluid and responsive. Also just downright badass.
As someone who had dread as their first metroidvania I can 100% recommend
In other m, Samus is not only depressed because of the baby metroid's sacrifice, she's also depressed that the planet she grew up on no longer exists, thanks to Mother Brain. And when you're really stop to think about it, that is a whole shitload of family to lose. Ridley killed her parents right in front of her face, and the Chozo that adopted her got wiped out as well! At this point in time, she's pretty much all she's got!
You can easily find an English translation of the Metroid manga on the Metroid database
was about to say, i literally have it lol
I have it too, gift from my uncle
As someone who tangentially knows the series through friends, content creators and long running jokes, this really cleared up everything in one simple video.
Next topic you should do is final fantasy tactics. That story has a lot of interesting back and forth between the cast church and groups.
The backstory alone is bery interesting to see how things ended up that way.
HOLY SMOKES PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN
Hell yeah bruther
“Metroid fans you didn’t tell me there was a Metroid Prime 4”
Yeah about that…
Honestly I would love to see you do an "Explained" video for the games in the 'Marth' Fire Emblem timeline. Like Shadow Dragon, Echoes, and Awakening.
A timeline of the Sonic series, or just the classic games, would also be fun to watch.
Castlevania could be useful, since I don't think many people will have played that series fully.
And finally, I would LOVE to see your take on the Persona or Kingdom Hearts series. You're really good at explaining things, and I think you could do those franchises justice
Thanks for the recommendations!
This is very well done. I'm a major fan of the Metroid series and have played every game... starting with the first on the NES... when it came out (yes, I'm an old man). I have to say this is the best Cliff's Notes version of the story of the entire series I have ever seen. If I ever hear of anyone who wants to get into Metroid, but wants to start with a later title like Dread... I'll try to keep this video in mind so they have an idea of the background story.

The Federation Squad apologized to Samus during the afterevents of Metroid Prime,Federation Force.
“Sorry for almost unleashing an unstoppable bio weapon that we can’t control again, etto… bleh “^3^ “
Funny how even in that game she had to save their asses, despite being captured first. The Federation can't to anything without Samus, yet they constantly antagonize her and make her job harder.
In the original script, the ones making the bioweapons were a splinter faction of the federation, not the federation as a whole like in the localization.
And judging by yesterday's Nintendo Direct, we may about to find more about Sylux as the game will come out in 2025.
4:35 excellent video and great drawings! They truly capture the character of the Metroid designs in a lovely way, as a long time Metroid fan I'm happy to see the series reach this wonderful channel of yours. Although I'm afraid your depiction of the Metroid's evolution here doesn't seem to be too accurate as the final stage here looks more like Arachnus [which isn't of the Metroid species] than any of the later stages of the Metroid evolution. The only two bipedal Metroids are Zetas and Omegas and neither resemble this little fella.
Forgot the plot point that mother brain gave Samus her power suit...
When you led off with three factions to be aware of, for some reason, my immediate thought was, those that think only the 2D games are canon, those that think all the games are canon, and those that think that Prime isn't canon but Other M is.
You completely skiped over the difference between mawkins and the other chozos.
Some games/series I think would be interesting for you to cover:
- Chrono Trigger (you decide if you wanna go full Cross or not)
- Star Fox (another Nintendo series, just say you dunno where it'll go next)
- Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (a very underrated and rare DS game, it's best to play it via an emulator, has a LOT of interesting story stuff to talk about that you will definitely not be expecting, the RPG Monger did a video on it last year)
- Asura's Wrath (another CC2 game, may be fun)
- The World Ends With You (very much up your alley)
- Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (see if ya like it)
I just LOVE all the expressions for Samus...even with her helmet on!
Funny how you released this video just as I started playing my first Metroid game, Metroid Prime Remastered. Good work.
Its a great game. A bit frustrating for me since I kept getting lost trying to find out where to go next but fun nonetheless
I just finished Metroid Prime Remastered three hours ago, so yeah pretty great timing Chase. (Although it's not my first game).
As "The big guy from Smash bros" I can confirm this is all factually accurate.
Hiy, big guy from Metroid dread
yo whats good kraid
Usually when games cook for a long time, they don't end up being terrible, not saying I want to wait a decade for a game, or that every game that takes a long time is guaranteed to be good, but I think the fact Prime 4 is taking a while is a good sign for it.
I really like your art style! I feel a Metal Gear timeline video would be fun.
now that the prime 4 trailer dropped: "and then samus goes to another federation research facility and fights pirates, and sylux with some mochtroids are there. and surely some more things will happen."
Federation force is the 5th prime game, you forgot the deep lore of the 4th prime game: Metroid prime pinball
Metroid Prime Pinball is actually the Zero Mission to Prime 1.
Instead of Pinball you can use Hunters to make it 5.
A few series suggestions that I hope you may cover some time soon:
-Tales Of Series (Starting with Phantasia/Symphonia)
-Star Ocean (It has connections to the Tales series for various reasons/Cover The Second Story first as it IS the best Star Ocean entry)
-Valkyrie Profile
-Hyperdimension Neptunia
-Grandia 1 (Dreamcast/PS1 RPG)
-Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast/Gamecube RPG)
-Golden Sun
-Arc Rise Fantasia (A very underrated Wii RPG and a great one; just bear through the voice acting if you do this one)
-Magical Vacation/Starsign (Another very underrated GBA/DS game)
-Touhou (Whichever one you want to start with)
-Rayman
-Shantae
-Xenogears (The game that started the whole Xeno series)
-Baiten Kaitos (Also made by Monolith)
-Ys (Similar to Zelda, but massively different)
-Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
-Legend of Legaia (Underrated PS1 RPG)
-Legend of Dragoon (One of the Best PS1 RPGs)
-Danganronpa (This one will take you for a ride)
-Nier Automata
-Devil May Cry
-Metal Gear Rising: Vengeance (Making the mother of all omelets here, Chase! Can't fret over ever egg!)
-Bomberman
-Mystical Ninja Goemon
-Castlevania
-Kingdom Hearts
-The World Ends With You
-The Denpa Men
Sorry for the long list, but I hope you consider some of them!
I am eagerly awaiting that full connected timeline of Fire Emblem as connected by Awakening and going through Engage.
I've played about 3/4ths of the FEs but Ive never looked real into how they connect to eachother besides the obvious Fe7-6 ones. That could make a good video i'll keep that in mind
10:12 this aged beautifully with the new trailer of Metroid Prime 4
TFW Prime 4 was what pushed me over the edge to buy a switch and I still dont have it.
At least Dread was a banger.
I'm sorry for your loss... hopefully Prime 4 will come out in the Switch era
@ChaseKip thankfully Nintendo is still willing to pull a Breath of the Wild.
That was a lot of fun! Thanks for making the time and effort to entertain fans of this wonderful series.
Thanks! Glad you like it
Villains dying and coming back to life seems to be a common trend in Nintendo games…
It may be lazy storytelling but hey if Ridley shows up in the next Metroid game i'll pog just the same
1:18 kinda surprised no one seems to have mentioned the fact that the enemy demonstrating the x parasite ability turns into an alpha metroid
Ridley is basically William afton “he always comeback” lol
And they're both purple!!!
He's dead after other m
@@isauldron4337I refuse to believe he died in the worst Metroid game
Metal gear solid lore , mostly because you have a nice talent of summarizing the most convoluted games (final fantasy, this one(Metroid) Kirby.) into 10-20 minute videos. Either way , good job chase
Metroid Prime didn't really take Samus' Phazon suit, it ripped the Phazon corruption out of her suit as a means to survive, in doing so, it took her suit's blue prints along with parts of Samus' DNA to birth Dark Samus, who is surprisingly resistant and regenerative.
It sucked the suit out
Being a Metroid Fan is really a big rollercoaster ! I feel bad for y'all !
This video genuinly helped me better understand the lore ! Thank you !
11:45 and he was right
Animations look really slick, you’ve leveled up
1. The original Ridley actually died in Super, right? Other M had a clone (?) who for some reason was just as pissed as the original and Fusion had just an X copy created from the corpse.
2. You never mentioned Adam's brain being copied into the Federation computer system, which is kind of an important plot point for Fusion and Dread.
About point 1:
Ridley's pure evil
He needs little reason to hate
Point 2: this video is poorly researched
I liked Samus from the captain N comic. She was top babe there and outshined the princess.
"the design is very human" the design in question:
So glad your back doing more of these they are looking better then ever. I would love to see a Luigi’s mansion one haha
10:11 They were in fact cooking up something with Sylux, namely as the seemingly main antagonist of Prime 4: Beyond :p
The animation is so funny and so cute!
I love Metroid and is a childhood favorite. My initials being ZDR same as the planet in Metroid Dread is icing on the cake for me.
I can’t believe how little I of the lore I knew of this franchise. Dark Samus being a metroid makes so much sense! I was always confused about what dark samus was
0:49 thats to ducking adorable
With Nintendo having released LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom, I wonder if they will make a Metroid game where, instead of Samus kicking ass in her usual Power Suit, she kicks ass in her Zero Suit, and not have it be like Metroid Zero Mission where you have to run and hide from the Space Pirates. I know we all wished for it at some point: getting to run around in third person view while solving puzzles and destroying aliens left and right with Samus out of her Power Armor.
Metroid prime 4 is back boys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it looks like it might be in between prime three and the last pure Metroid
I actually never played Banjo-Kazooie (except for a little of Nuts & Bolts), but it would be cool to see the series in one of your videos. It doesn't have that many games or convoluted plotlines and i think it deserves some recognition.
I need all this samus art in this video
I liked the nuances in fusion the most. The first metroid game (i played) where samus spoke and actually had opinions about things. Not to mention how the X was able to multiply so there were multiple SA-X onboard. And then the SA-X sacrifice for samus which doesnt make sense to this day but whatever. Also the canonizations of the eticoons and dracoras
Skyrim has pretty vast lore! I bet lots of gamers my age have played at least one game of it
Rejoice Metroid prime 4 official trailer is here!.
Also I didn't know fusion was so far in the timeline. I just played it as a kid and loved it. Time to revisit.
T H E A D U L T. 5:21
Hi Ellie didn’t know you made a comment until now(edit: give it up for 9 likes🎉
Good news! Prime 4 featuring Sylux was announced and given a first look!
the infection did not cause her suit to fuse with her body. It is mystically linked to her, and thus has no natural openings like a normal suit of armour since she can summon and relinquish it at will as seen in zero mission.
This is also why she can just sorta touch random objects to upgrade her suit.
Just because people are liking this and I want to spread correct information, samus gets infected during the intro sequence to fusion, and fusion comes much later than zero mission, since zero mission is a remake of metroid 1, so this is outright misinformation.
I think you miss read the comment, I think he is correcting the video at 7:00 where he says "the X parasite's infection caused her suit to be fused to her body." thelizard was just pointing out that the suit was always part of her, as metroid fusion says something like "the suit couldn't be removed while I was unconscious" not anything about the parasite keeping it on her@@foximus5231
How right you were about the last part! Seems like the wait will be worth it! ;)
How many of you clicked on the video because of the title card?
Me
The art is really charming, thanks for the vid!
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Alternative title: "Metroid: A Tale of Repetitive Physical Amnesia"
I never got into the Metroid series, but it's good to know the lore. Thanks for this video!
One thing you forgot to mention is that samus is also part warrior chozo dna (from raven beak) so her dna is basically just a rainbow colored ball of yarn at this point
This UA-cam channel is amazing. I hope it stays mostly Nintendo based, but I'll watch whatever content you make.
6:22 The game with teh X Parasites was Metroid Fusion on the GBA, not Metroid Samus Returns. That game is a remake of Metroid 2 on the Gameboy with the same title of Samus Returns.
r/Woosh
Would love to see the Mary Skelter series covered. The first of the series had some issues, but the latter games ended up becoming some of my favourite dungeon crawlers.
4:19 who's gonna tell him?
About what?
Fun Fact: Other M has a PEGI 16 rating in Europe, making it the only Nintendo game to ever have it. And mind you, PEGI 16 is equivalent to M in the ESRB used in the US.
0:02 seconds in and this vid is already great
A big plothole is opened due to Fusion's localization translation. In the original script, the ones making the bioweapons and cloned metroids were, in fact, a splintered group of the Galactic Federation, and not the Federation as a whole. But in English, it was implied that the whole Federation was making the bioweapons, which makes the opening of Dread extremely confusing as she still does bounty work for the G.F.
Incredible video as always, I hope you can explain the story of Golden sun one day, the style of the characters fit very well.
Man, have i been waiting for this video. I love your content, and finally seeing a video on what is basically my favourite game series ever is amazing. The style is great as always, and the fact that you always add little bits of humor instead of just explaining what goes down while also keeping them relatively short always makes your videos uniquely enjoyable. This is great, have a good day Chase
Aww... Samus's Art Style Looks Adorable 😍
You forgot metroid prime pinball and metroid prime hunters
Nice!!! Can you do the Megaman series next?
Prime 4 coming 2025, only took them 8 years so time to make an update video then
I still cant believe its real
