If O wanted to play Metroid II, should I go with the original or the remake? (either 3DS or AM2R)

[Anonymous No.6023778]

Just play the original with a GBC colorized patch then AM2R and the remake. It’s a short game without a ton of extras and all 3 are very different. There’s no reason to play the unpatched original however unless you’re just color blind or something

>>6023772
original first, it's really fun

[Anonymous No.6023787]

>>6023772
that depends on who O is

Original, of course.

Not OP, but doing exactly this now, after finishing Zero Mission, Super and Metroid 1 (with automap hack). 2 is quite nice after 1, pixel-art is well-done. Just slightly scared by the lack of automap.

Why do people always try to modify their experience before even playing? You'll never appreciate the improvements if you don't have the context of what was improved, and why.
Additionally, If you never play the original, you can never appreciate what remakes try to do.

Original cart/ROM.
No hacks.
No remakes.
Play to completion.

THEN fuck around with your other options. I promise you'll have more fun.

The original is fun, as is AM2R, both have pros and cons but if you want more of an immersive action centric game more in the vein of Super Metroid, the AM2R is gonna be your best bet.

The original is always gonna be the definitive experience.

[Anonymous No.6024312]

Play the original on Super Game Boy or GBA SP.

[Anonymous No.6024527]

>>6023772
The original! I recommend it with a color patch like >>6023778 said, but it’s not necessary to enjoy the game by any means

they all offer different experiences. M2 GB is like a real experience, you see what was tried and done in '92 on limited hardware and you also get more of that "true" metroid since there's no map. AM2R is more like a modernized version so it's good if you don't like classic exploration. It's also expanded somewhat. The 3DS remake is good, but it is definitely more like an action game. I recommend playing it without ever using the melee counter. It makes the game much more difficult that way, and I enjoyed it much more than I did when using it. Note that in this way, enemies will do a ton of damage and attack very quickly, so if you don't like tough action then stay away from it.

My tldr is that they are all different, and that you should play the GB first to see what inspired the remakes, before then playing one or the other if you want to play them.

Original on the Super Game Boy.

The original + color patch is pretty good.

The 3DS remake is terribly mediocre.

[Anonymous No.6024908]

Seems like this would be a good thread to ask. I'm playing Zero Mission blind on my first run. I used the ice beam and wall jumping to get to this area, but I'm wondering...is it possible to jump and to the left to get the chozo statue in the next room? I can't seem to get a solid wall-jump.

IIRC there are some walls you can't walljump off of, but I'd need to see more of that surface to tell whether I think it's one of 'em

[Anonymous No.6027201]

No reason to play the original when AM2R exists. The remake kinda missed the mark in a lot of areas.

[Anonymous No.6027472]

has anyone experienced random resets with the color romhack?

[Anonymous No.6027841]

>>6023772
Definitely the original. Then AM2R, and dont even bother with samus returns. The biggest selling point for the original for me is the utterly desolate atmosphere that the dissonant GB sounds and black and white palette add, and I feel that both AM2R (while a great metroid in its own right) and Samus Returns completely miss the mark of the feeling that makes Metroid II so iconic for me.

Id definitely go original in greenscale, its a super atmospheric game, the remakes are cool but are damaged by the loss of primitive elements.

It's the most linear on-topic Metroid. Even stupid people probably won't get lost.

Some games are fucked and annoying especially for modern gamers, that's why the fan patches are made.

[Anonymous No.6028491]

It’s a 2D gameboy game. Calm the fuck down.
