Metroid

That video makes me want to play Fusion again. Such a fucking great game. Anyone here lucky enough to have played it on 3DS?

Also, SRK is pissing me off. The code I have on the first page clearly shows there is only one spoiler tag per section, yet two spoilers are showing up in multiple sections. WTF. Trading Forum is even worse… something about the site is all fucked up over there.

I remember being completely biased against Fusion around the release time and comparing it to Super metroid/Prime.

Now that I look back, my expectations on metroid games were pretty damn high. Though IMO Zero mission > Fusion. Even if it was a remake lol.

That’s cuz Zero Mission>Fusion.

zero mission > fusion

pretty fucking hard to top zero mission though. one of the few games i will likely never ever sell.

I’ve been listening to this since the release date. My favorite is probably Te Inveniam.

the design on the Hunt the Huntress shirt is pretty sweet, I’d consider picking it up at some point

I have always loved playing metroid! Killin MotherBrain since 1987 hahaahha
