okay this is a Good Post™
Nice touch, I hope Zero Suit makes it into Prime 4.
*provided it gets a radical redesign
Yeah I agree.
february
I want it so badlyIt's $700 tho
If you're able, please share pictures when you get it!
I am sure eventually, but they are going to spend a good few years doling out N64/GB/GBA games to maximize subscription engagement. Will definitely replay it when it comes out after going through it on Wii U earlier this year.
Does anyone know what Mercury Steam are working on next? There was a rumor awhile back that they have another 2d Metroid game in the works, just wondering if maybe it's another remake.
We know they're working with 505 Games on a dark fantasy game codenamed Project Iron

Metroid Dread Developer Now Working on a Dark Fantasy RPG - IGN
Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam is now working on a third-person action RPG that will be set in a dark fantasy world, and has partnered with Control publisher 505 Games to make it.www.ign.com
IIRC Mercury Steam has two teams though (they put out both Samus Returns and Spacelords in September 2017, so they'd kind of have to), and the second team is rumored to be working on a 2D Metroid game for 2025, though the rumor didn't specify if it was a new game or a remake
Not sure it's a new rumour, there's been word that 2&3 would be outsourced using MPR as a baseline since pretty much the same time as the "they'll just be basic ports" rumour started circulating. I know what I want to believe xD
Mini in January
I think this is right tbh
a general? February
Oh, good, I'm glad they added a fix for the beam thing, though it still shouldn't be the default. It breaks Ceres Ridley and Torizo, so it was the biggest issue I had with Redux.
What did it break, exactly? I only noticed that it made the early part of the game easier before you get the Charger Beam.
I meant break in the balancing sense. Both fights are designed around you having a certain rate of fire, so the fast autofire trivializes them. Beating Ceres Ridley is supposed to be this hidden challenge. In this video you can see they collide with Ridley at the beginning of the fight and successfully dodge all of three attacks, but still get him to drop the capsule before reaching low health because they're just doing that much damage.
Sort of. Normally, the fight ends when you take enough damage for your low health sound to activate, but if you damage Ridley enough, he'll momentarily drop the Metroid capsule before catching it and flying off like normal. It's just a little thing you can do, sort of like saving the animals.
Isn't that the video one user here said made up a lot of shit?
See if you can beat each boss in the boss run without getting hit (not all in one go, just to figure out if you can). I couldn't beat Escue with no damage so I never attempted Dread mode .
i thought the strat for Escue was to charge a shinespark before you even entered the boss room
That does take off a good chunk of health but even then it's a slippery bastard
Hoping this is me when I get my hands on Remastered. Tried it multiple times and bounced off but I’m ready to give it one more spin.
Welcome aboard, friend.
Escue is a shit-spackled muppet fart. What I've found works best for getting through the fight without taking damage: when it gears up to start launching its barrage of shit spackles at you (the most annoying attack to dodge), stay in the bottom left or right corner of the room briefly, so that they'll initially track towards the lower half of the screen. After that, it's just a matter of jumping and dashing over the rest of the spackles. I'll try to remember to post a clip later. The fight is definitely pissing shitfire though, and gave me more trouble than Raven Beak, back when I played through Dread Mode.
The smelliest, too!
Bust up that bug bastard, Boz
The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.
