Nice. When can I see her butt
---

I thought we were allowed to say emulators on PC now.
---

Zero Mission is much better imo but I still like Fusion too.
---

Ive been patiently waiting to see her butt. I havent reached that part yet
---

I just finished ZM earlier last week! It has the tightest controls but Fusion is better.
---

I can't even imagine how many times I've beaten that game.

Hmmm. Fusion has the possessed power suit or whatever right?

OK so it has to be good

I prefer Zero Mission, but both are great in their own ways.

ZM is structured more like a traditional Metroid game, where areas are gated off purely by which power-ups you have (meaning the game is more open and better suited to sequence breaking).

Fusion has a more in-depth story and gates you off depending on your progress through it. It has horror elements (which I won't spoil) and a bit more characterization for Samus.

And yes, I love the GBA. It probably has my favorite handheld library, even if the DS's and 3DS's are more extensive. The Metroid games are a large part of it, but there are so many others that are fantastic (e.g. the Mega Man Battle Network / Zero, Castlevania, Advance Wars, Super Robot Taisen and Pokemon series, Legacy of Goku II & Buu's Fury, Fire Emblem 7, etc.).

I had more fun on my first run through Fusion, but Zero Mission has way more replayability.

Nah it's organic. Samus gets infected by a parasite, Federation chops her power armor off and then fixes her with Metroid goop. So the suit basically is her, in a sense.

Damn, I wish Nintendo had finished Dread....

OK well I got both anyway so that's good to know.
Thanks.

Hmmmm....

Dread was going to be Fusion's sequel on DS. They had design documents, the entire script and apparently some actual game content completed, but for some unknown reason it got scrapped. If the name and Fusion's style are any indication, Dread probably would've continued down the creepy path.
---

I'm stuck in a room in brinstar with lava and blocks
---

I kinda like Zero Mission more than Fusion but i love both games.
---

OK I got it but how do I get passed these stationary purple ball things that tink when I shoot them
---

either hidden route above it or else you wait till the bugs eat it

What bugs? There aren't any bugs around
---

if its a thick purple ball thing, you do that later and you must find another route if its small, you must find the small little bugs and carry them over to that so they can eat it
---

They're little purple bugs that crawl up on Samus. You go into a ceiling and watch them work on a set of two orbs, then when you find 'em elsewhere they'll hop on and go to town whenever you're near an orb.

What part are you at? I just got the speed boost thing
---

if metrod fought john halo who would win

---

I beat it!

That stealth part was ass
---

Wow nice. What was your total play time.
---

4 hours and 18 minutes with a garbage item collection rate lol

64%
---

jesus im either behind by a lot or this is a short game

im not one to 100% usually but this would be cool to finally beat a metroid game.
---

What point are you at in the game?

It did feel kinda short
---

Zero Mission is short.

The original Metroid relied on people getting lost because there was no map and everything looked the same.

When you give someone a map and have graphics that allow you to distinguish areas, it really cuts back on the bullshit time.

The thing is, even if you think you're going slow you're probably still doing a hell of a lot better than you would with the original Metroid.

Yeah probably. I had trouble with super metroid but I was like 10 when I played it.
