It's a full game where you play as samus in a crashed research base on a planet and you're trying to get to your ship and leave. The big twist at the end is that you're just sa-x and you find this out by looking into a mirror and seeing that your helmet is empty.  Also I love the videos, keep it up guys!

Did someone say SA-X? (from MeccaPrime's excellent LP of Fusion.)

But the helmet wasn't empty in Fusion when you got to see its face.

Karia posted:Except it just turns out that was another SA-X, and it repeats constantly throughout the rest of the game, with you controlling a different one every section of the game. Samus never actually appears. So every leg of the game would end with a SA-X Battle? How about a Metroid 2-esque game, except instead of killing all Metroids you need to kill all SA-Xs? (insert your favorite twist here)

Could be something like Destroy All Humans, where you play normally, fighting SA-Xes as you go, until you die, at which point it's revealed that you were an SA-X and the real Samus shows up to absorb your collected items - unless that one dies as well, at which point it, too, was an SA-X all along and perhaps the next Samus is the real one.

Do the SA-X kill each other? I thought they had some hive mind or something.

Zanzibar Ham posted:Do the SA-X kill each other? I thought they had some hive mind or something. They are not a hive mind, but they are controlled by semi-mindless all-consuming space viruses that mostly want to do two things: Kill All Metroids, and Eat Everything. They have no reason to kill each other, but that "semi-mindless" part means it wouldn't be too difficult to give them a reason to. It could even be something as stupid as killing each other over which one has the best Anti-Metroid weaponry in an ever-escalating arm's race. But I really don't think "army of SA-X's hunting each other" is a way for the series to go after Fusion. I'd want a sequel to Fusion to explore the ramifications of Samus becoming a bio-mech because it kinda rules that that happened. Also in a post-Fusion world, she's now the enemy of the main military force of the galaxy for destroying a vital space station of theirs, along with being semi-framed for the actions of SA-X during that game, plus anything she was up to after Fusion since I think one of them survived. It's been a while since I saw the end of that game.

Yeah, but it could be a funny concept for a competitive multiplayer game. Everybody's Samus, but the real Samus is the one who kills everybody else, who are SA-X.

Not that these ideas are worse than other M, but I'm really glad this thread isn't in charge of coming up with metroid concepts.

Tamaridley - raise your own Ridley! A classic point & click adventure game where you play a Space Pirate scientist and at some point you're actually supposed to rub the new dangerous-looking item you get on literally everything to proceed. Bad things happen. Metroid... But with Bitcoin!

When I got my N64 I definitely did the thing of "open a game for the console before receiving said console" you talked about in this episode, and what makes it worse is that I was a bad kid who opened a present in secret off to the side, so I had to feign surprise when I opened up the N64  I was just at my buddy's place for NYE and his wife got him a 3DS for Christmas, and it reminded me how much I miss getting video games as presents, I think the last one for me might go all the way back to Super Mario Galaxy.

Bad things happen. A legit Sierra-style point and click adventure as a Space Pirate Scientist would be hilarious. All of the bullshit Sierra deaths would involve Samus randomly walking into the room and killing you.

Oh okay. It's sitting on my desk next to my DK Bongos. It's a felt hat and the teeth/tusks come down and sort of cover the ears. It's still a little small for my head but I still think it's neat.

I also love Jellyfish. It's probably why I never get angry at metroids attacking me in these games, because they are basically life force sucking jellyfish.

You seem to use the power beam a lot more than I did after getting the wave beam. Aside from specific enemies and super missiles I pretty much just forgot about it.

I forgot about it so hard that I freaked out that I couldn't use the Super Missile when I tried to fire it by charging the Wave Beam. It didn't help that the charge combos on Wii require you to push A and down on the D-pad at the same time, with only the thumb. You can edit your controls to some degree to alleviate this, but after several hours of getting used to the defaults, swapping fire and jump made everything kick my rear end pretty hard.

I find that I prefer the rate of fire and shot velocity of Power Beam more. It's very satisfying to hammer the shoot button! In the Trilogy version I greatly prefer Wave Beam over everything else because its homing capabilities are amplified by the motion controls. You can fire around walls if you have a lock on!

I finally decided to play Metroid Prime due to this LP again after ending my first run by getting killed by the Parasite Queen 12 years ago or so. The controls are weird IMO and I'm still getting used to them, and it doesn't help that Dolphin chokes on some things in the game (tho I'd say it's pretty well playable). It's really fun to notice a thing and be like "oooooh I'm gonna come back to this". Of course, video games would be nothing without bugs. I laid a bomb in Magmoor cavern in a weird spot before a triclops grabbed me and this is the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGJtA2N8qx8 Feel free to substitute whatever music you think is better!

I'm pretty sure the log you're looking for is in the room you just left (at the end of that video). It's on the bottom floor in one of the side alcoves. (I think you only checked one of them on your original pass through the area.) I think that's where it is anyway. I could be as confused as you.
