Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

I LOVE this game. It's like Aliens + the Thing + Metroid. It is honestly one of the best games I've ever played, really let you get into Samus as a character. The power ups and story developments were all really cool.

Yeah, as a kid having the lights darkened and SA-X chase after me was so damn scary it was great.

You'd probably like the original GB Metroid II. It has an Aliens-inspired "seek and destroy" game mechanic that lets it have some gameplay direction, but while still being a large semi-open world.

New room? Dorm room? Just asking because I lost a copy of this game years ago and wouldn't that be a cool coincidence. No idea where I lost it though.

Great game. I like how it feels like an open world Metroid game, despite being somewhat more linear than other Metroid games. Also if I'm not mistaken this was the first Metroid game where Samus gave a commentary rather than being the typical mostly silent Nintendo protagonist.

Zero Mission was fun too.

Yup, Samus would have little bits of narration text at the beginning of the game and while on elevators and such...it was sweeeet.

The opening for Fusion has enough story details to be its own game. It seriously must be the longest GBA opening for a non RPG. I would also like to state that this game was permanently in my DS GBA slot.

Open world? Have you even played Fusion? It was as linear as Prime 3.

Speed ran the SHIT out of this game. Personal best time was right around 1:11 i believe.

Does getting the secret message make the game longer or shorter?

[–]Cfour 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

if you're talking about the trick when you get back to the nav room before getting the... (ice missiles i think? its been awhile), im pretty sure it makes the game longer, since you cant to my knowledge get to the end sequence without them, so you'd have to go back.

Too bad. I like having mysterious government agents and sapient AIs break the 4th wall and tell me how good I am at playing the game. But, it's neat to know.

lol right? this and the 1% challenge were some of the hardest things i've ever done in video gaming.

[–]StochasticOoze 1 point2 points ago

This is possibly the only GBA game that would give me scares. You'd just be running around shooting stuff when OH GOD HERE COMES THE SA-X MUST HIDE MUST HIDE OH GOD SHE'S FOUND ME OH GOD

I know exactly what you mean. I nearly shit my pants when you had to legitimately run away from it and not just hide.

Vicious difficulty, but an immensly rewarding game.

The only thing I want in this game is bomb jumping, and nothing more. Everything else is perfection to the point of fine art.

Can't wait for this to be free on the 3DS for ambassadors! ;D

Call me crazy but I've always loved Fusion better than Zero Mission.

Good game, but it basically told you what to do the whole time...
