I don't doubt that some people got stuck, but how many people are just saying that for a laugh now? That 'y can't metroid crawl?' post seems kind of jokey.
I officially quit Simons Quest cause I never knew about the 'kneel to cast spell' mechanic. The second quest of Zelda 1 also stumped me for ages with the 'magic walls you can push through'.
But I never had an issue with Metroid/Super Metroid.
Oh cool new thread.
Haha y can't metroid crawl? Haha this is fun you guys.
Seriously I can't believe super metroid is practically given away for 30p though! I would have thought they would hold this one back and release it for fifty pounds considering its still as perfect as when it was first released.

I'm totally not stuck in the same place as those first 7 people.
Nope, not at all.
OH GOD WHAT DO I DO.
Get the morph ball. It's right where it was in metroid 1. Then shoot the blocks and double tap down.
See that's what I was trying to do as you have to have the morphball to get in there, but the blocks will not break.
Right, right. You need bombs to get past there, then. Find the first boss, kill him, and get some micro explosives.
But I can't get out of there to get em!
The left entrance where you roll in is too high and the room at the bottom to the right has a few flies to regen missiles but can;t seem to go anywhere else.
Tried the missiles on the rocks?
Yep yep.
I dunno I feel like I'm missing something super obvious.
I'm gonna lay out the sequence of events for the the first landing on criteria in a series of spoilers, up until the first boss. Pick and choose how far you want to go, spoiler wise.
The first part's obvious - the game only lets you go left, and you can't morph ball to get anywhere yet. Go left, then down.
Eventually you'll pass through Tourian from the original Metroid. Keep going right, then take the elevator.
The elevator will bring you to the original game's starting point, Brinstar. If you go left, just like in the original game, you'll find the morph ball.
It's here that the game teaches you how to duck and shoot, as a standing shot won't break the low block and you need to get rid of the low block to go back right.
Keep going right. Eventually you'll pick up one, possibly 2 missile packs, depending on how thoroughly you explore. All you need is one. FYI, select switches subweapons.
Once you have the missiles, go back up to Crateria, and head back to the red doors you couldn't open before.
SURPRISE! Space Marines. Thought that eye was just for decoration, eh? Anyways. Explore all the paths above the escape path from the original game. You should find:
a Map room, a save spot, and a few more places you can't go.
Above the escape shaft in Crateria and right back along the path towards your ship, you'll see a low hole that you can roll into. Fall into that. The path back up is blocked with unbreakable bricks.
Because you can't get out of this nice little death trap, head down and right until you get to a red door. Open it, fight the boss.
Use what you got from the boss to do more exploring. Start where things seem logical; eventually illogical secrets will be revealed, but don't rush those.
You know, the more I think about it, I think it might be possible to get trapped in the area leading to the first boss if you didn't get everything you could leading up to it. I guess I never tried as a kid. Luckily there's no way to save if you get into that situation, so you'll only lose work going back to landing on the planet.
Speaking of which: Unless you watch the "attract" reel at the beginning of the game, you likely won't know that you can re-enter your ship to recharge yourself and save. Keep that in mind.
... Yes, there's an attract reel. It shows off some pretty cool advanced shit.
I hate you guys. I come online and see there were 90+ new posts and a new thread and I thought something major happened..... I got my pants all tight for no reason!

Hopefully something major will happen a few hours from now. Probably not, but we do so love getting our hopes up...only to have them dashed later.

I'll make a compilation post of all the Nintendo Direct links (mind, you might need to do some clicking, these are by and large all "announcement" pages that don't, if I remember correctly, take you to the actual stream without input).
It's supposed to be "Global Announcement" stuff, so they should all be more or less the same with some variation likely to the extent only of dates, pricing and disposition.
I'll be tuning in to the Japanese one, in time honored fashion by now, to scour the announcements for funky new shit that we all know Japan is the most likely to get a first sample of.
Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.
Yes, the fact that both me and KiTA linked to the "Archives" section doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
I think it'll work though.
Maybe.
EDIT: Also, in case other people feel like trawling the Japanese direct for good shit but also want to understand what the balls they're watching, here's Cheesemeister to the rescue. He'll be translating the important/ funny/ WEIRD segments for the benefit of mankind:
Before we blame this on Nintendo though, someone (in the comments of all places) pointed out a surprising lack of EA games on 3DS as well.
Funny eh?
Anyway besides Mass Effect titles EA has pretty much lost me since they stopped pushing games like Mirror's Edge. And Criterion isn't developing the next NFS so nothing lost there.
They need to remake Final Fantasy 4-6 on the Wii U. I know 4 was ported a bajillion times, but in all honesty it's a great game with a great story. Five and Six are LONG overdue for a remake, remastered, HD port game.

I guess that means we don't get the next Need For Speed. Sucks to be us.

Wasn't there an article about how gamers today need to have their hand held while playing?
Super Metroid is from a primal time, figure that shit out or get eaten like a delicious t-bone.

It's not like the manual would explain this shit.
But I never had an issue with Metroid/Super Metroid.
Whoops.
Okay.

You do know that they announced GBA VC on Wii U way back on Valentine's Day. Probably see it in the next few months.
