Is that not because you have both activated? Anyway, I do like how you can mix and match beams in SM. The beam combos are cool too.

SNES? Yeah, you can pick and mix your beam effects in the menu.

I'm playing Metriod Zero Mission. You might be able to switch between them, I dunno, but it seems like it has both abilities combined.

Was kind of a fuck you, because dont you need Ice Beam to beat Mother Brain or get to her?

If if you found Wave Beam after, you had to refund the Ice Beam.

exactly! not sure if you need ice beam for mother brain, but it was a LOT harder to get past the metroids without ice beam.

you could pickup ice beam twice in the game, but no everyone knows that.

NES Metroid was legitimately a bad game. Probably due to tech at the time but still

Yep, you always skip Wave Beam in Metroid 1.

Metroid 2 on original gameboy is a much better game, so I'd say it's more of a "first go around" design issue than tech

Metroid seems more ambitous than it should have been for the time, so I guess you're right. Metroid 2 is much more linear but is a far better designed game because of it.

I use it until you need Ice at the end. Needing twice as many shots to kill anything with the Ice Beam is too annoying.

I always loved the beam switching mechanic in Prime 1 and 2. Having them stack in 3 was a disappointment

I'm hoping they return to the former for MP4

nice, i noticed that sometimes you can go in a different order than the game was intended. i beat ridley before the other dude. apparently it is supposed to be done in the opposite order?

NES Metroid is really bad, there's no reason at all to play it nowadays

This. I actually even made a topic on the Prime 3 board asking how I switch after I picked up the second one. It just worked so well in 1 and 2. But for the main Metroid games, the beam stacking made more sense because they actually had qualities thar made sense to stack beyond just "opens X kind of door", unlike in Prime 3.

Basically Prime 3 got the advantages of neither.
