Nintendo Power closes down[views:10679][posts:86]______________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:09pm - ark ""] the metroid prime series is awesome. they stand up to any great nintendo game. huge positive critical reception. they do capture the feel of metroid, but being first person shooter in addition to standard metroid adventure/exploration games they're not for everybody. |

Game hasn't aged a day in 15 years. that's why i still stand that it's my favorite game of all time. it's so damn fresh and still feels new. a link to the past aged just as well. |

Yea I mean, I at least remember Prime having all the elements of the Metroid games, with the exception of it being first person as opposed to side-scrolling. I'm just extremely biased when it comes to the SNES. Best console ever. Period. Everyone can have their own opinion on the matter, but it will never even come close to changing mine. |

My friend's dad hand drew maps of the game and them littered around their house. When super metroid came out, everyone loved it for the same reasons, but it also went with the times. SNES waa a far superior system than NES and they utilized the technology. Both games are great, but I guess in FAIRNESS I WILL SAY BOTH ARE RESPECTABLE GAMES IN THEIR OWN RIGHT BUT METROID II IS DARKER |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:16pm - arilliusbm ""] Gameboy is the best system Nintendo ever produced. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:23pm - ark ""] hand-drawn maps in video games, haven't needed those in 20 years. but LEGENDS OF GRIMROCK has a setting where you do need to keep a hand drawn grid map. great game btw! |
| ______________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:29pm - Lamp ""] My two cents: Super Metroid is not only the best Metroid game, it's the best video game of all time, period. I'm not gonna bother debating, I'm just going to state that opinion as fact and see what people make of it. Metroid II for GB: don't bother, not that good. I can't make heads or tails of the two Zelda games on NES, it's extremely unclear what you're even supposed to do in them on times. I got to the third dungeon in the first game but I just scratch my head thinking about it now. I busted out A Link to the Past not long ago and have been working on it again. I haven't beaten that game in years so I'm forgetting some crucial information but it's still the shit. Skyward Sword was fun as fuck, though not very challenging. Never did like 3D Metroid. |

| ______________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:41pm - ark ""] LAMP JOHNSON IS RIGHT |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:42pm - trioxin_245 ""] Also, I played a Zelda game for the gamecube one time that was pretty good. Don't remember what it was called, but it was pretty dark for a Zelda game. I remember morphing into a wolf... |
| ______________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:42pm - ark ""] that was twilight princess. great zelda game. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:49pm - arilliusbm ""] puke. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:51pm - AndrewBastard ""] i played one on gamecube too (i think it was game cube) and you used an actual little cross bow to play the game in certain parts. I'm not imagining that right? |
| ______________________________ [Aug 22,2012 3:52pm - ark ""] like a physical crossbow in your hands? never happened. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 4:06pm - trioxin_245 ""] Link doesn't look anything like Andrew. He's all skinny and girly cuz he's an elf. Andrew is all MAN(jew) |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 4:06pm - trioxin_245 ""] also, this 'links crossbow training' game seems like it's more of just a flash game advertisement type deal than a real game. |
