Great essay. Aether in its normal state is just really weird and alien even if the game is trying to convince you that’s he good that you are fighting for. Samus is stranded, on a pointless rescue mission then by a chance of fate she braves the horrors of the dark dimension for a species of giant, endangered, psychic aliens. This game is my favorite of the three prime games, it’s not as good as prime one but it is unique in how utterly weird and spooky the world is. I feel like the devs had some really ambitious ideas and had to scale it back due to time restrictions. I wish they made the Ing a little more defined as they really didn’t have as much antagonist development or intelligence as the game’s text implies. Like it feels weird that throughout all the game you never get to see a possessed Luminoth either.

I love the ship from Echos as opposed to Prime 1, it reminds me of the Super Metroid ship. The rocket jets are old tech and that makes it seem like 21st century tech.

I really miss this series :( I really want to see VGAS' thoughts on prime 3, Samus Returns etc; not to mention Dread!

Bro what is this guys problem 😂, alucards walk is fine, fits him perfectly

"Fluid, smooth, tight" are all aspects of Samus I'm sure we all want to learn everything about.

The animation of Street fighter 3rd strike plz plz plz plz plz

I lost it laughing at the Guts Man butt meme

It's good in design and gameplay but soundtrack as well as "plot" sucks ass. Practically moot.

Its a crime your videos don't have more views i love them ❤

12:27 classic

This is the perfect video for my current game design project, thank you

The amount of love the artists/animators put into this series is just straight up sickening. It's just a complete eye-gasm. You mentioned the 3D iteration, and while I didn't play it myself, it just looked so generic and devoid of..well..anything. There's just so much soul that goes into *good* pixel art and it's almost as much problem solving as anything else when you have 1 pixel that can make or break a pose - it's the limitations that force you to get good right? The metal slug vehicle character treatment reminds me of the early Pixar short "Luxo Jnr" (I'm sure you know it of course) and how they really conveyed that playful, goofy behaviour beautifully while still staying believable to it's physical form (more or less). It's so cool that so many games are coming out that are continuing the artform with some pretty striking presentation, but I can't think of any that have matched Metal Slug for just gratuitous stubborness to be the absolute benchmark 😉👍

Nintendo is so good at animations. This alone has a way better animation compared to all Mortal Kombat franchise, mainly the modern ones.

You should fix the animation. I would love to see how you imagine he should run.

Im having alot of fun with it. Since I played and the original Metroid back in 89 on NES.

I love how this game forces you to get progressively better at controling Samus. By the end, you cant wait to beat it again with your new found confidence and skills. You dont just upgrade Samus, this game will upgrade your brain and dexterity!!!!😊

I love how the entire dark planet is basically the true enemy. It is invading and crippling down the original people of its world, the Luminoth, and consuming and corrupting it's entire species and enviromental system. Visitors from other planets like the Federation soldiers and Space Pirates are all dying like flies and both of their logs feel like from a horror movie, even when the Space Pirates logs are added with a bit dark humor. The Dark World and their Ings are parasites, with Dark Samus and the phazon sitting on top of them all.

I've always assumed he's moving extremely fast and we don't notice it because we're playing from his PoV.

8:41 Samus still swipes in a down to up motion, the angle is just lower while in the air

Metroid Dread, Blasphemous, Laika. Spain is really becoming a serious contender in game development.

You can't compare a 3DS game to a switch game. It's obvious that is gonna be better because the console is more powerful. If it were to be the other way around it would be on purpose.

"Silksong around the corner". This is still valid.

fascinante

I wonder how many of the animators weren't mentioned in the credits.😢

Dread made me almost feel the same way when I was playing metroid fusion back in the day .

Bro predicted Metroid dread

This movement is one of the best in any side scroller ever. It's epic.

I think they made the speed like fusion because this is still fusion suit samus, the heavy chozo tech has been removed during the super to fusion transition, and the armor the federation can afford is only light here because (and I’m taking a shot in the dark with low evidence) the federation is still mad that their chance at having a “controlled” SA-X was lost to samus Aran.

I don't think anyone is going to read this, but after watching this video and others like this one, I firmly believe that a 3D Metroid game would benefit greatly from a Dark Souls 1 style world.

Hoping for Metroid 6 or a Metroid Fusion Remake

It can't overstated how much sound design and soundtrack adds to the atmosphere of Metroid games especially the Prime games.

this feels like taking immersion and Diagetic feel to the next level like this is almost TEXTBOOK on the Definition of D i a g e t i c in the sense of input response in games

After nearly 20 F**KING YEARS,METROID DREAD IS HERE,AND ITS ACUALLY GOOD!

Yeah but does he moonwalk like Simon? Didn't think so

I remember the first time I encountered the SA-X I just held my breath, waiting for those cold footsteps to pass by so I could move again. Towards the middle of the game where some of the SA-X encounters are longer, particularly the one where it power bombs an area and inadvertently lets you pass through that area, you just have to hide where the power bomb didn't reach and wait it out. Each cold footstep after agonizing footstep, you know it doesn't know you're there and won't turn around but you're afraid it might. Then the areas later in the game where it guards small sections you need to pass through, I did the same thing I always did, I waited for it to pass by patiently... but it turned around, it wouldn't go away. It just stayed in that area and I was forced to run for my life, stunning it occasionally with an ice missile just to slow it down.

He looks off balance.

5:45 M A R I O... Okay by---

I like the dread's animation more than any other 2d games. It just feels so clean..

And all the animators are Latin 😊

This is why i want prime on switch now its the best prime game this far

I have to commend Minecraft for how distinct & memorable its TNT explosion looks while staying well within the game's style

At 7:45 is the timing just off for anyone else?

Squinting creates the illusion of it being a lot more detailed and less pixelated than it truly is.

OH MY GOD THIS IS MARVELOUS! Is it just me or does the beauty of what people can do just make you feel like crying. This game is the best i have played in my entire life. Its only online i find a lot of people appreciative of this. People in my part of the world really don't value the beauty in art.

İ love ecco because the design philosophy is "what if water levels in video games were the WHOLE game?" and it made a beautiful video game

İ love seeing ecco discussed because i was obsessed with it when İ was like three. its the best game ever made

He was a Belmont before he was turned by his father dracula

his head is bobbing btw …

7:09 man this is such a cool little detail and the reason I love Metroid Prime as a whole. when an Ing tackles you it doesn't do anythin except a little bit of damage, but just the warning of a failed possession attempt is enough to re-emphasize how hostile Aether is compared to Tallon IV. It does nothing gameplay wise but it's immersive.
